Sonic The Hedgehog Is Back.

My words about the game: Well It's the best Sonic The Hedgehog game ever.
Incredible levels, lovely graphic, levels that I could play over and over again.
There are few camera problems in the game and sometimes
it freezes if you are at the wrong spot in the game.

To be honest that does not bother me at all, the only little thing
that bothers me is the loading, there are too many loadings.
Other wise it's Sonic The Hedgehog after all ^^ I haven't beaten the game yet. Im working on it, but the story is almost like the other games that Dr. Eggman comes
for the seven Chaos Emeralds and rule the world and also
a new character added called Silver The Hedgehog wich
makes the game more interesting. There are these levels with Sonic were you run in a super speed.
That makes the game even more fun to feel how Sonic
really can run and not like the other earlier games. I think it's the best Sonic game ever and should be played by all fans.

Stay away. You have been warned!

If you read through the net, you will find very similiar comments on this game regardless of the platform. 95% of the reviews for this game are bad. A few personal comments. While the CGI for the crossover scenes between levels are decent (not that great but ok), the graphics during the game play is dissapointing. The basic game play is aweful too. I found myself dying not because of being killed by a villain but rather from me falling off some cliff (or rather) due to bad camera angles. It's not fun when you don't have a reason to die and yet you do. If you want to be frustrated for hours, then get it. Or else, save your money and buy a better game.

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!!!!

The game is set in Soleanna, the beautiful city of water. In his first adventure set in the human world, Sonic meets a beautiful princess named Elise, whom he quickly befriends, but Princess Elise is abducted by none other than the calculating Dr. Eggman who is working under dark and sinister motives,to destroy this special kingdom of hers. In order to restore safety and serenity, Sonic must maneuver his way through a series of adventures and challenges where he will encounter and interact with a bevy of allies and enemies, and ultimately go head to head against the menacing doctor to thwart his malicious plans. Along the way, Sonic encounters a mysterious character named Silver. Blocking him with unique supernatural powers, even the Blue dude with `tude will find it difficult to out-maneuver the enigmatic Silver! As Sonic speeds through the huge kingdom, the mysteries unravel.
Sonic The Hedgehog melds top-tier animation production values with next generation art, physics and game design to create the most intense, high velocity Sonic adventure yet! Featuring interactive 3D environments, a large cast of new and returning characters, and a blistering sense of speed, get ready for the reinvention of Sonic The Hedgehog

I got the game from Gamestop and was very happy. Most glitchs from The 360 version were fixed and the graphics are much better. If your just getting a PS3 and need a game to play pick up this one!

This Sonic game promied to be true to it's roots but its really like Sonic Adventure not that that's a bad thing but it's just that it looks like a reamke more than a new game the gameplay is fast enough to make you hurl up and the graphics are colorful and cute in their own distinguished mannner.
However the Sound does'nt really wow you it just makes you sit there and wonder why Steve Urkel is voicing Sonic in a Game the game isnt all that long but its fun and addictive and it's multiplayer is also pretty cool

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...

Sonic - For Better or For Worse

It's been awhile since I've had experience with the Sonic series. The last time I actually picked up a game with the blue hero, it was back on the game gear, so I had my hopes up when I found that it would be coming to the PS3. Not only was I getting Sonic, but it'll be in 720p? What more could you want?

The intro is beautiful. The scene really makes impressive use of ps3 hardware (though I'm sure future games will push that even further). The beginning game play is decent, and the level seems interesting enough.

To continue on the graphics though, while some cut scenes seem very well designed and impressive, others seem like they were quickly thrown together, and that they would barely push a ps2 to its limits.

Controls are an issue in this game. When you're jumping and then attack, the control is completely in your hands, but if you need to rebound off of objects to cross a long distance, the only thing the player needs to do is time the pressing of the proper button. Also, when powering up to get some speed in a run, you can only launch off in one of 4 directions. The lack of 360 degree control is slightly frustrating in that aspect. There are also times (specifically, when Sonic is snowboarding) where the controls are absurdly unresponsive. While putting a super fast creature into an extreme sport known for speed sounds, the implementation of it is completely botched.

The camera can be a bit annoying as well. At times, you'll be trying to line up the next direction you're heading off into, and as soon as you cross a certain threshold, the camera will catapult you into a different view. You, however, will be holding the direction you want to go, which, relative to your new camera angle will change, and you will suddenly switch directions. There are also times when you need to line up dropping things on to a target however the default camera will be pointing upward, so you will be blindly bombing those below you.

Perhaps the worst thing I've encountered in the game is the saves. They are extremely far apart, and it is possible to play an hour without a chance to save only to loose all your lives due to a problem mentioned above and have to replay all that lost time.

Pros:
Sonic
Simplistic Levels (good for younger gamers)
More Sonic
Sometimes impressive cut scenes.

Cons:
Controls
Camera
Distance between saves.

Conclusion: If you're a huge Sonic fan, get this game. If you can look past the various bugs and issues, it's a good time. However, those bugs can sometimes distract you from that fact.

Unfortunately, not worth it

I was too disappointed with this game. After waiting almost 2 months to pick up my pre-order, I ran it for about 2 hours, but only got in about 45 minutes of playing. The game Loads about 4x as many times as any other game. Every 5 minutes its "Now Loading" something else, it loads slow, and often it just goes through the "Now Loading" to have a character say something, then loads again for the level...
