Terrible
As mentioned before, this game is terrible. Buy it if you like terrible games.

There really isn't much to say that hasn't already been said. It controls poorly and it looks like a PS2 game, yet it's meant to be for 360. It isn't even enjoyable in a mediocre sense like Earth Defense Force was. Just don't buy it.

Even sonic can't keep up with this game!
The game is overall a disappointment to most sonic fanatics but that doesn't mean its a bad game. It in no way beats the fun which most people got from sonic adventure 1 or 2. The game could have more features which hopefully will be fixed in the next version but as a single player game, its mostly all there.
A few major problems which arise are as follows..
- REALLY annoyin loading times, at every cutscene there is about 3 or so loading screens before you begin the mission and 3 after. each are about 10seconds, short but really annoyin.
- In the ''Speed Stages'' if you hit a single wall the game may for some reason glitch and course you to fall and die. But they are short enough that it doesn't really matter.
- Really annoyin camera angles, basically the way sonic is designed and the fact the camera cannot be inversed is rather annoying. Its not very smooth and kinda annoyin.

Generally its visually good to look at, like all sonic games you do get to see a nice scenary while running 1000 miles an hour.

There are many positives about the game, cute story line and new characters but they in no way out do the negatives. This game is worth playing and maybe finishin if your a sonic fan but it is in not as fun as other sonic games as Sonic Adventure 2.

i recommend renting this game first, if it doesnt drive you crazy consider buy it, the game is worth anywhere below $50. I would not recommend buyin it for any more.

Ill give it 3 stars since im a sonic fan :). And i do want them to try to improve next time. :)

Never EVER buy this game, it might cause brain-damages!
Well I am a Sonic-fan from the very beginning on and have played every single game at least once. So I know what I am talking about if I say: This game is the worst Sonic game in history! Hell, I even found "Shadow The Hedgehog" and "Sonic Heroes" somewhat enjoyable, but this game is around 100.000.000 times worse than both of 'em. And it's not only the worst Sonic-game I've ever played ... it's the worst game at all!

I don't try to bash this game, but as hard as I try ... there isn't anything good to say about this piece of...

First and very important: The game is so incredible ... not fast!!! This absolutely no way for a Sonic-game to be!

I for myself found it very annoying, to be forced to play with a lot of even slower characters, who feel very unneeded and plugged on in the last second of development. Besides that, their gameplay feels like it was rushed in 25 minutes, only 20% completed but then put in the game anyway.

The controls are feeling like xxx, worse than any over game. It's sensitive but totally imprecise at the same time.

The camera is worse than in any other Sonic-game (I thought, that wasn't possible, but it was, as this game proofs). It will flip around and make random movements by itself for no reason many times.

The physics are good as long as you just look at ‘em, but collisions are a brand new, unknown level of bad and the physics-engine is heavily overused and not reliable at all, so the game suffers from it a lot.

The graphics are good compared to the last-gen Sonic-games but there're worlds between the graphics of this game and what a next-gen console is able to do. Hell, the graphics are way worse than the ones of "Sonic And The Secret Rings" and that one is for Wii!!!

The loading times are unmatched at all. As I heard that first I thought to myself "nah, I don't care about loading times, so that's nothing serious!" ... ohh how wrong I was. We don't talk about normal loadingtimes here! It goes something like this:

- We start with a nice loadingscreen
- A cutscene tells you, that a boss is approaching
- Again, a loadingscreen
- The name of the boss is shown, and he screams (about 3 seconds, that’s it)
- AGAIN, a Loadingscreen
- Finally, you can play (although, you sure agree, that's nothing good in this game ;p )
- Another loadingscreen
- The boss is defeated and disappears (about 3 seconds again)
- A loadingscreen
- Results and scores are shown
- You guessed it: A loadingscreen ;)
- A cutsceen tells, that the characters are leaving the place
- And we end up with another nice loadingscreen

Each of this loadingtimes will waste around 20 seconds of your life, so you actually will spend around 5 min watching the loadingscreens to play around for 2 mins. And, very important too: There are loadingtimes inside of the stages! I don't mean between 2 different stages but between 2 parts of the same stage, thus killing every bit of speed and action, which might've come up, for good.

(Sorry, I'm not finished yet!)

One of the biggest flaws about this game:
I've never played anything that feels so unfinished and so broken up at all.
The entire game is so buggy and full of errors that you won't believe it, until you've played it yourself. It's horrible how many times I just fell through the ground for absolutely no reason or prescripted passages (where you can't control Sonic at all, i.e. if y
