Gamespot's review is generous!!!
There is really no substance to this game!!!!
I was so looking forward to this game ever since it was announced. I thought that this would bring the series back to its awesomeness that it once had, but in fact it did the complete opposite, at least in my opinion (which is all a review is ones opinion.)
First of all the graphics are great!
That is about all the game has going for it though. The controls are horrible and sonic is controlled in a very different way, and for the worse! He has no momentum, no speed, just not what you would expect for sonic.
Like gamespot points out the levels are seriously flawed, there are points of great speed and then suddenly you are forced to do frustrating mundane platforming that completely ruins the pace.
I just don't understand why it took sega this long to make a classic sonic game and then seriously messed it up....
There are a ton of novice game designers out there that could have put something way better than this together in about a year!!!!
What a waste of time and money, download the demo see for yourself, what a disappointment.
