"It wasn't as amazing as it should've been, it was the best 3-D Sonic game to-date, but that isn't saying too much.."

I have a MAJOR issue with this. You are obviously not very well-informed about Sonic the Hedgehog. Secret Rings is nowhere near the best, and being the best in the series would be saying a lot, looking at the two Sonic Adventure games. Please do some research before making such claims.

Let's take a look at Sonic in 3D. Here are the Gamerankings scores:
Sonic Adventure-87% (AAA from Gamespot)
Sonic Adventure 2-84%
Sonic Heroes-74%
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle-72%
Sonic and the Secret Rings-71%
Sonic Adventure DX-63%
Shadow the Hedgehog-53%
Sonic the Hedgehog-46%

The Sonic Adventure (Dreamcast versions, we'll get to the Gamecube ports later) games, while not without flaws, were simply awesome. People seem to forget that Sonic's first ventures into an entirely 3D world were very successful. The cla*sic Sonic atmosphere was there, but it felt fresh and new. There hadn't been a true Sonic platformer on a console since Sonic CD. The levels and gameplay modes were varied and interesting. The graphics were good for their time, and the soundtracks were praised. There were some camera issues, but the platforming was second to none.

Heroes was a very good game, but a lot of people thought that it was weighed down by the over-use of other characters and somewhat limited gameplay. It wasn't very difficult, and controls became an issue at some points. The game relied too heavily on the abilities of Tails and Knuckles, and they seemed to slow Sonic down at times. Still, it recieved generally favorable reviews and turned out to be a very good game. The narrow level design eliminated a lot of camera issues without taking away from the game's sense of speed.

Secret Rings was a good game as well, but it was just a little too simplified. It was basically a run-and-jump game with back-tracking issues. It took hits from the critics for the story, sound track, voice acting, and the annoying "helper" similar to Navi the Fairy from Ocarina of Time. The only gameplay-related issues were regarding the few times when you had to go backwards through the levels. The on-rails approach completely destroyed the camera issues, and the Wii Remote control seemed ideal for it.

Even Sonic '06 wasn't terrible, per se, but it had a lot of flaws that should have been fixed in the series long ago. The camera, controls, acting, storyline, and other things were as dated as ever, (although slightly improved over Shadow) but this game also included annoying puzzle elements among other things. A good time can be had with the game by hardcore fans, but it does not live up to the name of its predecessors.

There is no excuse for Shadow the Hedgehog. Not only does it fail to improve upon the old flaws of the series, it intoduces new ones. The camera, controls, story, and acting are terrible. It's like controlling Sonic '06, but downhill and on roller-skates, yet somehow slightly slower. The gun system is totally useless and it's very difficult to complete even basic takes due to the movement problems. Again, if you are willing to look past all the flaws, it can be pretty fun. But that doesn't excuse it from bringing down Sonic's good name.

The Gamecube ports scored low because they failed to improve upon the well-documented flaws of the Dreamcast games. DX had a lot of space-filler in between levels that genuinely took away from the gameplay experience, but it still includes the wonderful aspects of the original game. SA2:Battle suffered the same fate as DX. This time, however, a lot of the problems came from being forced into boring and tedious levels away from the main game and main characters (Big the Cat fishing FTL). Most reviews of both games agree that they were still good games, but they scored lower because they failed to improve (and in some cases made worse) the camera and sound issues from the Dreamcast games. Still, these games are definitely worth a purchase if you don't own a Dreamcast.
