Weak

Recommendation? No.

I don't know if it was me or if I got a bad copy or not but the gameplay was just awful. This isn't the first time I managed to try out this game and it didn't work. But to my surprise this one had. There was not one time that I had to switch leaders to make the rest of the team to appear out of thin air. Because to me, gameplay is EVERYTHING. If I can't enjoy the game just by playing it with a team and dying because the AIs aren't constantly moving with me then what's the point of a team? And I've played Sonic Adventure 2 before and I found that to be better than the Sonic Heros. And some of the VA wasn't all that great. It was like they put little effort in that range.
The plot was pretty okay, nothing to unusual or different from the rest of the Sonic game. They have to do certain tasks to get to certain points.
Although I LOVED how they put all of them in teams, it was really fun to see and used their different ranging attacks and the team attack was the icing on the cake. I loved how most of the team had the different missions to them. Although the constant same map line up was a bit boring. I enjoyed seeing the ol' Chaotix team because I used to play Chaotix a lot as a kid on the sega.
The graphics were pretty much okay but when you finished a level and the team cheered each other for a job well done. I couldn't HELP myself but laugh because they all looked like plastic. The way the light shined on them made them look like they weren't realistic at all and it was a shame to see them up close every time and it make me cringe on occasions.
All in all, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone because it seems like the game play with the AI teammates should have been better.

this game is the 1st original sonic game for the gamecube and a nintendo console in general and this game had alot of shoes to fill in with the success sonic adventures 1 and 2 were but did the game succeed in filling them the answer is halfway the game is a good game in it's own right it just isn't a very good sonic game the graphics are kinda bright and childish compared to the 1st 2 3d sonic games which I actually find to be a step in the right direction the graphics perfectally captured the feel of the original sonic games on the genesis and felt more like a true sonic game plus the storyline is kept to an extreme minimum many gamers were disappointed in that but I myself wasn't and the soundtrack is more true to the classic sonic games and the game also tries to balance the difficulty out with 4 different teams newcomers and young audiences have team rose to play with while hardcore gamers will feel more at home with team dark team sonic and team chaotix however are more in the middle in my opinion team sonic is closer to rose while chaotix is closer to dark my major complaints are the multiplayer I'll admit the multiplayer in sa2 wasn't much better but this game really contains the most boring multiplayer elements I've ever seen and another complaint it that the game is very repeatiative all teams go through the same stages at the same time and most of them all play the same way the sole exception is team chaotix who plays quite different I won't spoil any details but overall I think this game is worth a buy though this game has been out since at least 2004 so I imagine most people already own it
