Terrible game

I think this game should be recalled. There are too many issues to list but a couple are: extremely slow load times, too many areas in game where disk needs to load, bad point of view on characters (meaning you can't see where the character is going because the screenshot is showing an area that is of no importance), maneuverability of characters is terrible. I have never written a review of a product but hopefully this will save people money and they will buy a different game.

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.

Insultingly bad

Buried deep underneath the interface, sparse save points, and pathological load times, it looks like there might have been a fun platformer in here. But you'll never find it. This game is just outright offensive. It's one of those rare roughs in the diamond that make you wonder if anybody. Ever. Played this. At Sega. Sega is a major company. I can't connect that fact with this game. I bought and own this game. It is one of my deeper regrets of the last month. I'd take it to a resaler and get my $5 store credit, but that would just lower the price and raise the risk that some other poor sod is going to actually have to sit through the three hours of excruciating pain it took to fully convince me that this game has absolutely no merit.

The opening video is pretty. If you have a good display, and get a copy of the game for free, it might be worth popping the game in to watch that. Immediately after the video finishes, eject the disc, and ask yourself this question for the ages: is Blu-Ray also a better _microwave_ format?

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.

bad game

first off - Zero Stars! not even worth one! terrible!

Super slow too many reasons for this game to be recalled and remade.....well if they remake it it needs to be done with the Sonic Adventure 2 game engine! that was by far the best one! (for 3d games at least)

* long load times
* horrible game play
* sonic is slow
* no one likes playing as tails and amy and knuckles and the rest of the gang! doesn't sega get that yet? at least shadow is cool and sliver was alright
* slow
* the graphics are horrible
* story isn't good
* did i mention it's the slowest of sonic games?

oh man when i got this i popped it in and i got pissed off! it's horrible! i have a notebook with three full pages of what can be fixed and how it can easily be fixed.

sonic team, hire me to help you make the new sonic game and i promise you that their won't be horrible reviews because the game won't be terrible

Wish I could give it a zero!

This "game" was obviously rushed out the door to meet the PS3 market. Unfortunately, the designers rushed by things like testing and usability. Like others noted, the camera angle controls are worthless and you end up not knowing where you are. Controls are useless as they rarely give you any real control. The graphics are nicely done and Sonic is still cool...too bad they wasted our time with this version. Don't even rent it..sorry.

Worst PS3 Purchase Possible

I am another who deeply regrets wasting my $60 on this game. If you can stand the CONSTANT loading, then maybe you could tolerate the glitchy graphics, and average (AT BEST) storyline and gameplay.

Total disappointment. Honestly, I enjoyed the original Sega Genesis version to this one, HANDS DOWN.

Save your money for Rainbow 6, or Battlefield Bad Company

Don't Buy It

Sega really flopped on this one. I treid playing it for a few hours..the camera angles, yes you can adjust them..but as soon as you start running again, they resume their same terrible view point. This is the biggest waste of my money...Don't buy it!
