    In the end, Sonic nuts will love it. Everyone else should stay away.

    The 3D elements do not gel well, and controlling Sonic feels awkward and hasty. Sudden deaths are far too common for a modern game. Old school (un)playability does not work this time. [Feb 2007]

    Some good ideas and lush graphics marred by bad game design. [Apr 2007, p.66]

    A crushing disappointment for those who thought Sonic had finally found his feed in 3D. Uncontrollable, twitchy, awkward and confused, this game will kill off all hope of there being another decent Sonic outing ever again. [Issue # 149, p.66]

I write this in the hope of saving your time and money. I saw the reviews... I knew the reputation... still, I thought; "It can't be that bad! Probably the same quality as Sonic Adventure but without moving it into the next generation very well." So I bought the game.

    This is the worst big budget video game I have ever played. There are bad games on the NES that are more fun to play. It's broken and unplayable. I feel like Sega has reached into my wallet, stolen my money and flipped the bird to me whilst running off and laughing about it.

    Please... I beg you, IMPLORE you. DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!    … Full Review »

Unlike the 360 version of this game, there is nearly nothing good about this P.O.S. Downsides include muddy, undetailed graphics, long(er) loading screens than the 360 version, and more glitches than the original. And to top it off, this game came out 3 months later after the 360 version did, which was more than enough time for Sonic Team to fix the problems of the original for the PS3 version. I don't even think this game is worth a rental. Just skip it and play another Sonic game. Or if you must, and you have a 360, pick up the other version, at least it looks pretty and plays smoother.… Full Review »
