Not at all what I expected OR hoped for !!

I have to say, that when I first put this game in my PS3 that my disappointment was immediate. The graphics, for what one would expect on the PS3 are very underwhelming. After playing games like Call of Duty 3 and seeing some of what PS3 is capable of, it is very disappointing to see PS2 level (at best) graphics in a game that costs the same as Call of Duty 3. The initial levels are boring and dull and do not suck you into the game at all. The initial cut scene is beautiful and gets your hopes up only to dash them moments later. PS2 games like God of War had MUCH better graphics. I am very disappointed so far with what Sony, Sega, and other software firms have offered for PS3. After screwing up the launch, I thought for sure that they would be looking to gain back some momentum by releasing strong, graphically beautiful titles that harness the power of the machine, but not so far, at least not with Sonic the Hedgehog. I recommend you skip this one, at least until the price comes down a lot.

Don't buy

I played Sonic's other version and expecting to play a nice platform shot-m-up game, but such a disappointment. I am just glad it was a rent, I didn't paid $60 for it. Even if it gets discounted to $10, I will still not buy it.

Suck-tastic

Alright, I love Sonic. The entire series has kept me entertained since I was yay-high. *lowers hand to knee length* This game, rather simply, SSSUUUCCCKKKSSSS!!!! This, I am sad to say, WILL be the last Sonic game I buy because as of late Sonic games have been getting worse and worse.

The loading is aggravating to say the least.

Camera's should almost ALWAYS be behind the character and be able to toggle to the sides at the player's discretion.

And when you designate a control for a function, maybe, just maybe, that button should control that function. Not let you fall off a cliff innumerable times.

Do not buy

This game is, in a nutshell, unfinished. The core of the game is flawed because not enough time was spent on programming. The long load times are not an exaggeration, go to youtube and search for sonic load times. The video's are not doctored, it will really take 5 minutes to do a mission which requires 1 minute of play. And the worst part is many of these glitches and load times could have been fixed. Easily. So shame on you SEGA for trying to deceive your fans by calling this beta version a completed game. THATS NO GOOD!

Do not trust the five star reviews. Sonic isn't good anymore.

Why are so many people singing this game's praises? I have it for the XBox 360 (same exact game) and it's the worst Sonic game yet. Sure, it looks pretty, but that's about all it has to offer. The controls are unresponsive and twitchy. Get used to falling off ledges to your death. You'll do it a lot. This game is riddled with glitchy gameplay. The camera positions itself so you can't see where you're going sometimes, and if you move it, when you move it resets itself. If you get this for your child/boyfriend/husband, all they will experience is frustration. No time went into testing this game and all the funds were spent on visuals rather than programming. This game was literally rushed to market unfinished.

Here are some reviews of the XBox 360 vesion, which is more or less the exact same game...

IGN: 4.8 out of 10
Gamespot: 4.4 out of 10
Gamespy: 1.5 out of 5
Gaming Age: F
1up: 5.5 out of 10
GameTrailers: 4.6 out of 10
GameInformer: 6.75 out of 10
TeamXBOX: 6 out of 10
Gamepro: 2.5 out of 5
Xbox Magazine: 4.5 out of 10

You have been warned.

So far I have played most of the three characters
Lots of fun stuff to do and great story. Graphics rock as does the sound and levels. Don't listen to people who hate as they are older fans where as the game is geared to new players of Sonic.

The controls are a bit hard to get at first for younger gamers where as they are easy for older. Once you get the hang of it you are ready to play this great game. The more you progress the more ways the game gives you to destroy your enemies. With the small Town Missions plus Levels and Bosses and a whole 3 character episodes to play you will be waiting for the next level to be open. Also with the whole of the cast as playable characters there is lots to do.

The story has been greatly written and makes you want to see and hear more. As you continue to play and watch and listen to the story you will find you want more of the story told.

So my advice is if you want to be careful rent it first but if you get the real game learn the control and then watch and listen to the story.
Don't listen to what others say and think for yourself.
HAVE FUN!!!!

This game takes way too long to load. I can't believe the amount of time I waste waiting for things to load. I thought that one of the things they were going to cut down on with the ps3 were the number of transitions and loads necessary to play even the most hardware intensive games. At least games like call to duty 3 have a story line that plays while things are loading. Then to top it off the game just isn't that much fun. I was bored in the first 45 minutes I owned the game. I went and traded it in for tonyhawk. Much more entertaining for my money. I would definitely rent this one before buying it.

A really bad game. For Sonic fans only.

I was waiting for this game to come out for PS3. The only positive thing about this game that I can say after playing it for over two weeks is that it states that it supports 720p, but actually shows on my HDTV as 1080i via component connection, which was a nice surprise. The niceties pretty much end there.

I would say the quality of this game is ok, but the gameplay is really awful!

The motion control is bad, the camera is even worse.

When the Sonic is running forward, hits something and loses a life, he ends up stuck, beating his head against a wall for several seconds, or just flies away to never-never land. The worst thing is that if you lose all lives, you have to start over. The save points are far-far-far apart.

Don't bother with this game unless you are a hard-core Sonic fan, and just want to have this game, period.

There are better games out for PS. Resistance. Motorstorm. Ridge Racer 7. Virtua Fighter.

Imagine your child coming up to you in tears because "Someone shot Sonic! I was standing there and he died! And his body was lying on the ground and I don't know why they shot him!" This is what I get for not watching every minute of this horrible game.

My daughter and I have played every Sonic game we could get our hands on. Some of them are wonderful, some were pretty awful, but THIS is the one I have to tell you about. In the beginning, I was fascinated by this long, glossy, Final-Fantasy-looking cinematic. But once the gameplay starts, it's a hideous awful disaster. This Sonic game doesn't know if it wants to be a role-playing game or a 3D action game, but both are unbearable: "missions" to wander around and figure out who to talk to (there's a "puzzle" that has no pattern, for example--you just talk to everybody until one of them coughs up an answer...but he lies to you the first time to make you go around again), and worst of all, levels where you tear along at a high rate of speed, and then plant face-first into death. Touch the controls and screw everything up. Don't touch the contols, and screw everything up. If I tried to make a video of the gameplay, it'd be an endless montage of death after death, many of which you don't even know what you did wrong. The only way to get through is to be a robot: "I pressed the X button last time, now let's see if Triangle does anything."

this game is horrible. I'm not bashing on the ps3 here, because I love my ps3, but this game is inexcusable. The camera is horrible and the controls are worse... it's tedious, annoying to play and ultimately very boring. save your money.
