    Completely disappointing, by all means. Most people would enjoy it for the fact that it carries the nostalgia of both Sonic and the ill-fated remains of the Dreamcast library. The major problem is that the game has aged well by no means. I played the game on the original Dreamcast way back in 2000, and had beaten it in full, and I replayed it again years later in its DX iteration. The gameCompletely disappointing, by all means. Most people would enjoy it for the fact that it carries the nostalgia of both Sonic and the ill-fated remains of the Dreamcast library. The major problem is that the game has aged well by no means. I played the game on the original Dreamcast way back in 2000, and had beaten it in full, and I replayed it again years later in its DX iteration. The game itself cannot seem to be enjoyable by today's standards. Every character's controls are really bad, especially if you're among the slower ones, and the camera and voice acting are just as repulsive as they were a decade ago. The major, glaring problem though is the price points. The original Dreamcast version may not be available to buy outside of online auction and some shops, but it can also be easily pirated if you're into that. The Gamecube "DX" remake is still available at some Gamestops for 12 dollars, 2 more than the current release. Not only that, but the rereleases now require you to pay ANOTHER 5 dollars for a "DX" upgrade, which only allows you to play as Metal Sonic and unlock a few more emblems to get, yet you still cannot unlock the Game Gear games or link up with GBA, which were both available options in the DX version. Overall, if you really want to play this game, look for older versions, and pass up this pointless waste immediately.… Expand

    This game does not age well to say the least. The controls and camera are twitchy, the only characters worth playing are Sonic's, Knuckles's, and Gamma's. The is what you'll expect from a common Sonic game, and that its needless. If you are a veteran sonic fan, then you will still find enjoyment in this game. But with that said though, it's repetitive, it's outdated, it's not worth playing.

    The running theme (heh) of the Sonic franchise is going super fast. For a game series about going fast, this game is suuuuuper slow. About 1.5 hours (tops) of gameplay is centered around Sonic, who is the only character who actually moves fast and whose levels are designed around doing so, and even those are super janky. This game is awful.

    Is there anything worse than this? I dunno. I'm sure there will be some day because or some reason they keep making these terrible games. They're bound to make one worse than this one eventually.

    A very frustrating game with a camera angle that can give you headaches. There is very little redeeming features of this game, with lots of "unlockable" characters that are locked for no real reason. The biggest grievance is that the you can literally wander around for hours not knowing what to do. Any game that *requires* you to find a cheat book to solve is not the kind of game thatA very frustrating game with a camera angle that can give you headaches.

    This game is dreadfui glitchfest without anything good or interesting, it is your typical bad Sonic game.
    The unique good thing with it being the soundtrack.

    Horrific game, the hub world is painful to explore, the game design ranges from frustration to meh and is very forgettable and the bosses are equally as annoying. This also has the worst voice acting in any game I’ve ever played and unusable camera controls. Don’t even bother playing this game, the few moments of fun are short lived and are massively overshadowed by everything which makesHorrific game, the hub world is painful to explore, the game design ranges from frustration to meh and is very forgettable and the bosses are equally as annoying.

    A game that should've rested in peace with the good old Dreamcast.

    A title revered for its looks in the years gone by both ages badly and succumbs to design logic issues... [Issue#65, p.105]

    Rather than begging the question of whether or not the Dreamcast title is still relevant, this port clearly indicates that it isn't.
