I was torn over this game. At first, I felt that this game was just horrible, and that if this is the best Sonic 3-D Sonic game, Sonic has went way down hill. I managed to finsih the game and I'll explain my finals thoughts.
The controls in this game are hit or miss. Using the controls to home in, jump at a target, and steer work fine, but trying to slow down, and back up are just a pain in the rear. If Sonic didn't constantly run, this game would have been a little better.
The visuals in this game are pretty good. A large environment that looks great, but you cannot explore it. In this sense, its back to sonic's linear path roots. I don't like to mention voice acting in my reviews because I know that a game isn't going to be as good as say, a cartoon show, movies or whatver, but in this instance it becomes VERY annoying. If you happen to fall of an edge, hit an enemy without rings, you will restart the level instantly and hear the same speeches that you heard the first time around. It gets on your nerves very quickly.
Once you get the hang of it, this game can be pretty decent. It's super fast paced, and once you can handle it, there is plenty to do even after you beat it. I'd argue that mini-games are nothing special in this game, but the yare there for those who want to play with friends.
Overall, its worth a rent. It's a decent game after you master the controls, and the new, constant running gameplay.
