    Just a re-hash of shattered crystal. Save your money for Sonic Mania or Project 2017. Plus the game doesn't sell well either way. It's only a matter of time before SEGA pulls the plug on Sonic Boom which will be the best decision they've ever made.

    I think this might be the worst game I've ever played. Not for bugs or anything, but gameplay wise it's really bad. Slow paced, really boring level design, running and pull down doesnt roll. Felt like one of tbose knock of IOS games where they're "Sanik Hedhehog Runner"

    This is the worst sonic boom game ever. Even sonic the hedgehog (2006) was better than this. I didn't enjoyed it at all. Sure it's a 3ds game but it could've been better. There are a lot of 3ds games that worth buying. Don't buy this game.

    This is one game that won’t give you too much of a challenge however, you will be able to cruise through it, but there are things to go back and look around for. A fine-spin off game, but it still is missing something to make a proper stamp on the world.

    It’s not the new Generations (that we’re all waiting for), but faithful fans of the series should be moderately happy with it if they can endure a subpar level design. [12/2016, p.77]

    Developer Sanzaru Games seems to have taken the criticisms of Shattered Crystal to heart. [Issue #24 – November/December 2016, p.22M]
