Sega Can Not Make Video Games

I've played many bad video games, but none have been as terrible as this one.

The first time I saw this game was in a Game Pro magazine ad. When I saw it I was like, "Finally! Something by Sega that I'd actually want to play." So then I buy it, play it, and then realize that the ad. was only making it look exciting.
When you play this game, the first thing that goes through your mind is an annoying, fast version of Mario. Sonic is fast, but that's nothing but a huge disadvantage. In some stages you're timed to get somewhere, but then he's running so fast you crash into something and then the next thing you know you're all over the place.
In other levels Sonic has to get somewhere really fast, so then he runs as quick as he can. That's really bad and here are the reasons:
-It's easier to run into something
-It's easier to die
-you aren't allowed to stop running
Another bad thing about this game is the camera. Sometimes the camera might turn 180 degrees so that it's facing the front of your character., and you aren't allowed to move it. This means you can't see what's in front of you which is extremely fustrating. There might be holes scattered across the floor and you don't know when to jump so the next thing you know you fall into one and die.
Something else that's messed up about this game is the stupid thing Sega calls a "fighting system." With most of the characters the only thing you can do is press a button repeatedly. The only one who has all of the moves is Sonic and his ar pretty bad.
I only have two more things to say about this game. First is the enemies. I think that Sega was tyring really hard to make them look as terrifying as possible. If that's what they were trying to do, well guess what Sega? They look stupid!
The second is the very boring boss battles. The boss battles don't fell like you're going up against a badass. It feels like you're against giant that can't fight.
Don't buy this game, it's like burning money.

This game is fun for a few days then it gets a LOT worse. The first few missions are easy and maybe a little fun ,but after the fifth mission in the sonic episode it goes to not fun at all, extremely long, and incredibly boring. also on this game say you get really close to finishing then you lose all of your lives, you have to start over from the cut scene that the mission started in and do the whole thing again. and what's more is that the camera doesn't get a good angle most of the time which leads to unnecessary death. The only good thing about this game is the graphics and that is about it for the good stuff.
