User Reviews

Hey! No more spoilers!

Yeah, the game isn't perfect, but there's just no pleasing some people.

I've been an all time fan of Sonic, and I found this game really entertaining. The cameras are no where near as bad as people claim. The team gameplay was quite good(a change form tails getting lost all of the time on Sonic 2). The music was just all electric, now that rocks! The character voices were just perfectly fitting. This is (in my opinion) the best recent Sonic game.(okay, things do occasionally get corny)

I was totally new to the 3D Sonic world as I never owned a Dreamcast and didn't know anyone who owned one. So in my case, the new gameplay took some time to get used to(I don't know how many times I died on the first level then). After that it was way cool, computer games are about having fun. (oh, and if you pay attention, Shadow smiles. no, really!)
