To most, this game is a pile of junk. To me this is greatest piece of programing yet. I not 100 percent sure why I like this game, but at least this game has made understande that you can't enjoy or appreciate everything. There's at least one game for everyone. That exist to make a person think its the best thing ever made. Wether or not its good or bad thing is really up to the user. As for me, this game is that to me. So this isn't really a review, but I'll say im just biased.

Don't even know where to begin with how bad this sonic game was. The controls were ok and the storyline was decent but the camera angles were awful.

In what might be seen as a move to reset and reinvent the series, the latest game to feature Sonic the Hedgehog is merely called Sonic the Hedgehog. Sega's blue critter has been around since the 16-bit days, when his side-scrolling platformers were strong enough to take on Mario, the then-undisputed kingpin of the platforming genre. Sonic's fall from grace has been slow, starting with a promising first stab at 3D with Sonic Adventure, but it's all been downhill since those far-gone days, and games like this new Sonic the Hedgehog are the culprit. With plenty of bad glitches, poor controls, and totally lame gameplay on all fronts, this one's not going to restore any part of the Hedgehog's name to glory. Sonic the Hedgehogscreenshot Sonic and the crew are back with a lackluster adventure that isn't worth your time or money. While Sonic's name is on the box, you'll actually spend most of your time playing as other characters. The game is broken up into three different stories: one starring Sonic, one starring Shadow, and one starring a new hedgehog called Silver. Each of the stories play differently because of the way each hedgehog controls. Sonic is meant to be the fast-moving one, and he mainly attacks via a homing jump attack that makes most basic fights as simple as timing presses of the A button to bounce from foe to foe. Silver has telekinesis powers that let him pick up large objects and use his mind to fling them at enemies. He's not as fast as Sonic, but he has the ability to float in the air for brief periods of time, letting him cross larger gaps. Shadow the Hedgehog gets his own version of the homing attack, but the big difference is that he can drive around in different armed vehicles. Further watering the game down is a heavy supporting cast, so even when you pick the Sonic episode, you'll still occasionally play as Tails and Knuckles. Other Sonic collaborators, like Amy, Blaze, Rouge, and E-123 Omega also put in guest appearances. While the character variety might initially seem like a good idea, most of them aren't too interesting. Tails moves almost painfully slowly, and his fake ring bombs aren't any fun to use, so when Sonic levels occasionally switch over to him, it's immediately boring. In addition to the single-player levels, you can play the game in a two-player, split-screen tag mode that attempts to force players to cooperate as you progress through the story. In addition, you can go back and play levels you've completed in a battle mode. While you play as many different characters throughout the main game, the same structure applies across the board. The game's action stages are separated by town portions, where you'll be able to take on dopey side missions to help out the locals or figure out puzzles to proceed. Each of these side missions are bookended by two sets of loading screens, where it first loads up the exact same scene, just with different text dialogue, then it loads up the actual mission. After that, it has to load up some ending text and then load up the out-of-mission version of that part of town. Each load time is fairly long, and when they stack up in this way, it almost makes the game feel broken.Read full review
As the years go by, Sonic continues to lose his edge in the gaming world. Sure he's still a classic. Yeah the graphics are always decent. It does feel fast, really fast, probably too fast. Collecting items has never really felt as important as it does in other games because you move so fast. This 360 title is no exception. Things move fast and that's great but it feels like the same game over and over. I love the character though and the story is better this time around with great cinematics but the gameplay feels just too done already. And the controls are frustrating because the same buttons are used to perform different tricks and if Sonic ever does the wrong trick you will probably end up falling to your death because of the level design. Combat is improved and attacking enemies is a ton easier than previous games. Fans will probably want this one regardless. I can't recommend buying. 3.5/5Read full review
What a game this is. Tons of bugs, yet really fun to play. I think Sega would have hit home with this game had all the bugs and glitches been cleaned up and the game's optimization polished. Gameplay: PROS: Fast and fun with Sonic and Shadow; Interesting and puzzling with Silver. Decent control. Different abilities and play styles make the characters a lot of fun to play. CONS: Camera control is a bit difficult to handle. Glitchy areas, especially Kingdom Valley. Sonic doesn't run as fast as he usually should. Loading Screens--too many of them! RATING: GOOD Storyline: PROS: Extremely interesting and high level storyline for a Sonic game. CONS: Time Travel is confusing RATING: EXCELLENT Music/Sound: PROS: Voice acting has improved since Shadow the Hedgehog, the music is beautifully orchestrated, and is pleasing to listen to. RATING: GREAT Difficulty: PROS: VERY Challenging levels, whether the glitches play a part in it or not. The levels are fun challenges. CONS: GLITCHES--they tend to kill you, a lot, and it's frustrating. RATING: GREAT OVERALL RATING: GREAT (Good for ebay) (8/10 for normal ratings). This is a fun game to play. It's one that Sega should go back to and fix up to make it even better, to make it a good Successor to Sonic Adventure 2.Read full review
