Really Bad

Broken beyond repair.

Before I start let me get one thing clear.
There are parts in this game that range from tolerable to decent. a few good tracks mainly the final boss track and the graphics were visually decent at the time.
But sadly these ups are too far and few between in this ultimately broken and clearly untested title. I liked the old sonic games and sonic heroes is a guilty pleasure. But this is simply just inexcusable.

Gameplay: Imagine the first sonic adventure game... just even more dumbed down...

Story: A joke. I KNOW I KNOW why does the story count in a sonic game? Cause this one throws it in your face like it or not. Sonic dies literally he dies theres a shadow recolor literally nothing but a color swap and a love interest...thats human... And yes it is disturbing.

Sound: sound effects are cool and a pretty darn good final boss theme. Thats about it. Sub par voice acting.

Graphics:An interesting take on the sonic universe. Eggman looked quite cool actually and the more fantasy sci fi look fits the modern look of the franchise. Sadly the actual models look like garbage close up and glitches are out of control.

Overall this is a perfect example of why you should NEVER release a game when it isn't even finished.
The game released in an unfinished state due to financial issues. There was a lot of potential in this game. Sadly they just didn't have enough time to tap that potential... oh and to take away the love interest.

I think that this game is amazingly addicting and fun. I recomend this game to sonic fans. I think that the graphics are good, I think that the storyline good, I think that the controls are great and fast, I think that the levels are awesome, and I think that if you like 3d sonic games you would l-o-v-e this game so theirs my reveiw.

I'm just going to come out and say it, this game was AWEFUL! The story was OK, but gameplay was just appalling. The camera controls suck, the difficulty was WAY too hard. I could only get to level three in the Silver Campaign. And the controls weren't smooth at all! The only good thing about this game was the graphics, which were pretty realistic.
