Definitely not the worst game in the series, but it might be the worst 3-D Sonic game, which isn't a good sign

This was supposed to be Sonic return to greatness, but instead sega screwed us over, while it's not the worst game in the series its far from the best. The plot isn't terrible, but it's sorta confusing. In the city of water Soleanna, Princess Elise holds the secret of the flames of disaster (a.k.a Iblis). During a ceremony of the sun Dr. Eggman appears tryin 2 capture the princess, than guess who saves her? It's Sonic. He runs off with Elise in his arms than you see a white hedgehog and he calls Sonic "The Iblis Trigger". Anyway gameplay is what makes a game right? That isn't so great in this game. Sonic's controls like this: A-Button jumps, A-Button twice does the homing attack, tap X to due a spin kick, hold down X while standing still 2 do the spin dash (useless in this game). while running hold down X and release to slide, near a trail of rings hit X to do the light dash, D-Pad selects you gems, right trigger uses them. Theres also this bar on the screen as sonic, but it has no purpose, it's just there. Shadow is almost identical to sonic except for his chaos boost which is activated by the right trigger. Silver is different than the other hedgehogs, A jumps, A twice levitates, Right trigger activates psycokinesis, X shoots stuff held by psycokinesis. Alright graphics wise the game looks pretty good, but many technical gltiches screw up what could otherwise be a beautiful game. The games msuci is really good, but the vocie acting is laughably bad. The game has no replay value unless you want all the silver or gold metals, and half of the achievements can't even be obtained. The game couldve been good if it was finished, but sega rushed what couldve Sonic's best game, but instead we got Sonic's worst in 3-D.
