A 3.5? come on the game isn't that bad at all
I'm a huge sonic fan, but also an educated gamer and this game deserves a much higher score than a 3.5. i've played much worse sonic games and this by far isn't one of them.
The level design in my opinion is quite good, and day time levels are a blast to play.
Things do slow down when you play as the werehog but it's not too bad, it's pretty fun and you do get to beat the crap outta things so it's ok. kinda sets a nice pace what with the day time levels being super fast and the night time levels being slower.
This is one of the best sonic games to come out for a console in a long time, basicly ever since sonic adventure 2 battle despite that being a re-release. Point is, this game is pretty good, and is very fun. I'm not saying it's perfect because yes the werehog can be a bit frustrating, and i really hate having to collect the sunshine and moon medals but eh, nearly every game like this has some sort of collecting mechanic i suppose. But, going back to the main subject.
This game does not deserve a 3.5, notice how it's gotten much higher scores from other reviewers and user reviews. So, please for the sake of missing out on a pretty fun game. don't listen to the gamespot review.
