This sonic game is mean,the graphics is good, control is simple on the board,and the gameplay is fast!:which is something Ive always liked in sonic games.sonic started to go downhill with sonic heroes which was ok just that game had major flaws which make the sonic games 'sonic games'.then sega tried to approach the audience with shadow the hedgehog, that just sucked running around with a gun and shooting things took the fast gameplay out of it. Sonic riders has stood out with its number 1 rule "FAST!" this game has the vital elements which made sonic addictive in the first place,with this game sega will redeem themselves and hopefully continue to improve.
