Sega has been doing okay with their recent games (except shadow the hedgehog) but this game is just a disapointment, running around the city is bland and poorly made, the levels on the other hand look pretty good, the problem is this game is probably buggier than the original Sonic Adventure(though I did love that game)and you move slower (BIG problem in a Sonic game), and Shadow and Silver both are basically just thrown in, Shadow runs really weird and Silvers powers don't really function great, which ends up being annoying. I've run through the floor, the camera stopped following me, homing attack through big enemies, (etc)many many times, the game doesn't function well.
I really was looking forward to this game, I still play all of my older Sonic games (Heck I own triples of most of the games) but this one was just a headache. The videos in Sonics story were beautifully done and looked great, (though it felt like "Sonic Fantasy" and seemed weird) but really it's just a game to avoid. The absolute worst thing about this game is it's slower than any other Sonic game, for a game that is supposed to be about speed, and claims to be faster, this one is a disappointment. I had a bit of fun but sold my copy inside a month.
SEGA lost its ability to make good games

This is by far the worst Sonic game ever. I thought that Sonic Adventure 2 was starting to lose its entertainment factor since it strayed far from the original games that made Sonic so good. Don't buy this game at all. It's a waste of your money. You can rent it to confirm all the issues mentioned in the other reviews. Yes, horrible camera angles, long load times, and boring story really make this game unbearable. SEGA really rushed this game out to make it on time for the 15th anniversary, despite all the bugs and flaws.
SONIC CLASSIC??? NOT BY A LONG SHOT

"ok game, not really interesting b/c of the weird camera angle and extremely long, unnecessary load screens, not worth the buy
Terrible game control

The game might not be so bad if you actually had some control over what was going on. Half the time you spent just along for the ride and trying to not crash into something, which would result in instant death of the character. The rest of the time, the camera is moving around such that you can't see what's in front of you and as the camera controls control where the camera is, rather than what it's looking at, I was always moving the camera in the wrong direction (I've seen this particular problem many times before and it is not unique to Sonic, but it is something you should be allowed to select, like reversing the Y-axis on FPS's). My wife and I gave up on this game after becoming frustrated with it. We buy games to have fun, NOT to see how many unique ways our characetr can be killed.
Really bad game

This game is a big disappointment. Pretty much all the other lower scored reviews cover the problems with this game. Don't waste your money even renting it, much less buying it.
bad impulse buy.

i bought this at a brick and mortar store on impulse. what a sad waste of $20. bad game play, bad angles, bad story line, bad everything. i was thinking that it would be a normal sonic platform game. i was sadly mistaken. my only hope is to give it away to someone dumber than me. i'm just that mean. i hope sega is able to redeem itself in the future.
Sonic in his greatest adventure!

Sonic 15 (that's what I call this game due to his 15th Birthday) is one of the greatest Sonic games ever. There's lots of characters, speed and levels! I like the idea of Sonic trying to save a princess, who is the damsel in distress. This game is awesome! Don't listen to those 1-star reviews! Get this game! I RECOMMEND IT!

if your not addicted to sonic like i am then there is nothing redeemable about this game for you... even with out the 15 minute loading times every 2 seconds it still would not be all that great... the only reason it gets such a high score from me is because i love all that is sonic ( even the [...] like this ) and cause Mephiles is the coolest villan since hyper metal sonic
A game of fairly good quality

Considering there aren't many games for the PS3, I would call this one of the more improved ones. The graphics, especially the opening scene, are excellent, crisp and fresh, however the gameplay is not. The character often gets plastered to walls, and even with the instruction manual, this game is still hard to play. I would recommend this if you have a PS3 and are looking for a select game collection, but otherwise I wouldn't.
Rip sonic you will never be the same again
