This game is so cool. At first, I didn't like it, but after a while, I began to get into it. Before I knew it, I was playing this game at partys, and on story mode for hours and hours on end. I'll bet a lot of the bad reviews on this page were written after playing the game for ten minutes. Here are the good things about it: Great mini games, good plot, good graphics, only takes 4 blocks up on your Vmu, great party game, fun story mode, great way of having battles, cool characters, eventually 8 players to choose from.

The only problems with this game are: you have to unlock 4 out of the 8 characters, sometimes I think they made the computer a little too smart, bad voice acting, and more boards would be nice.

This game is one of the best games on the Dreamcast right now. If you are a Sonic fan, pick this game up. Don't hesitate because of these bad reviews.

Party full of fun!

I've got to laugh when I read reviews around the net about how *complicated and difficult* this game is -- come on, my 5.5 yr old (granted he is very bright and pretty good at video games) picked it up right away and did quite well. Sure, you have to give it a little thought, but most average 6 yr olds would catch onto it pretty quickly from what I've been seeing around here. It's a big fave for all the age groups and mom and dad like it too. It's fun for one, but even more when you have 2 or more playing. Loading times for the mini games could be shorter, vmu in controller is recommended since your cards will show on that and not be visible to anyone else and it's one of those addictive hard to put down games that needs a time limit put on. (Ohh, mean parents here, LOL.)

Different from Sonic Adventure, in that it's a simulated board game, not an adventure game. But a bit of a nice change as we wait for the long delayed (like next christmas now?!) Sonic Adventure 2.

one of the best freakin game on the dreamcast

Okay. I don't know why people hate this game. I've been reading reviews and noticed that Sonic Shuffle got some bad comments. However, I've been a Sonic otaku (as my friend called me) and rented the game. Even though I haven't beat it, I fell in love with it.

First off: the story. Maginary World was one minute the best place to be in a dream and the next, Void decided that Maginary World was too good. So, he decided to shatter the Precioustone made of people's dreams. Illumina, the Goddess of Dreams, became prisoner in another world. Lumina Flowlight, however, isn't gonna take this, so she calls Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy to give her a hand to get the Precioustone. Recently, I've been thinking that the plot was ripped off from the Sailor Moon SuperS series.

Next, info about the game. You start off on a board from one of the earlier Sonic zones (the only ones I know of are Emerald Coast and FireBird). You can chose if you want Lumina to tell you how things would go at the beginning. As soon as the game starts, you pick a card from the deck and go the number of spaces. If you pick a "S" card, you get choose from 1 to 6 spaces. Get the S and you'll move 7 spaces. Get the Robotnik card and things would get ugly for you. You can also collect some stone to annoy other players or give yourself an advantage. There are also mini games (you should know what these are), mini events (kinda like cutscenes), and battles (where you fight a monster by picking a higher card). You main purpose is to get the Precioustones. There will be 6 in all. Get the most and you'll win and go to the next stage.

Now, my opinions.

GRAPHICS: The characters look really cute and the boards look great. I can't really explain why...

SOUND: The music's great! It really fits the mood of the game. I just love the FireBird music. It reminds me of Ryo-Ohki (Don't know why). As for the voices, they're cool. I'm guessing the same voice actors from SA did 'em. Great job for once again giving me sound that's pleasing for the ears, Sega! ^_^

GAMEPLAY: This is the part where everyone hated. Well, I loved it. Sooner or later, you'll get better at this game if you really try. The mini games are tons of fun! I really like the one where you have to pick a soda and if you picked the one that's been shook up by Eggman, you lose. Even those I lost that one the first time I played it, I laughed so hard that I thought I was watching a Sonic the Hedgehog version of Tenchi Universe. The battles were easy...until I got to the last Precioustone. My only complaint was that I find that the computer always know what card to pick and ends up picking one of mine. Other than that, it's great.

CONTROL: Good and simple control. The only complaint in this area is that at the mini games, the control gets a little tight at times.

BOTTOM LINE: Extremely enjoyable. If you like games like this, get it. Even though I never played Mario Party, this was a lot of fun. I don't know why people hate this and have it "shelved in minutes". I still play it and I usually have a lot of fun and sometimes get a laugh out of it while playing!

Please remake this game!

The reviewers who gave this game 1 star are both right and wrong. This game is related to Mario Party (Involving winning or losing rings, using special power-ups, playing mini-games, etc.) But I think it's a lot better. It involves Sonic and his friends in the dream world, saving 5 special dreams from the evil Void. However, they get to move across the board with cards. There are cards labeled 1-6, the awesome Special cards, and the tricky Eggman cards. Also, the reviewers forgot to mention that this game has a Sonic room feature where you can check out all the cool things you've unlocked.

This is a great game and we would have played it more, but our old Dreamcast refuses to work properly and instead of entering or exiting a game mode, it sends us back to the Dreamcast menu entirely. How annoying.

Since our Dreamcast isn't working, I would love to own this on a newer system. If it does get remade however, I will revise my review into a thank you note.

This Game is just like Mario Party 1,2,3 and 4 but with sonic and his friends.More than 100 mini-games and an accident for every level. You use cards battle and earn rings and sometimes lose them. Very Fun!

Excellent Party Game

Lots of people give this game bad reviews for what appears to be no reason. The truth is, Sonic Shuffle is a great party game and something I believe you will enjoy. So what if it's a Mario Party clone? Lots of clone games have been made that are in fact, great games. So if you loved Mario Party, why not get it's little brother? Screw the editorial revies saying the mini-games are uninspired. I just get so gosh-darned excited when somebody lands on a mini-game space. This is truly a great game and definitely a good addition to any collection. The only minor problems are that there's no going back once you pick a card to move with,and the roulettes aren't random.

great game
