My favourite Sonic game ever made
GRAPHICS - Even though graphics aren't hugely important, this game did have lovely graphics and especially for its time. Actually, I think it had better graphics than the future Sonic games. SOUND - I love most of the music to this game, especially the main theme because it is so catchy! The level music is nice to listen to as well, but I especially love the character theme tunes. Sonic's was good, Tails', I wasn't that fussed on (I preferred the one from SA1) Knuckles' was pretty good, Shadow's was awesome, and I loved Eggman's. Rouge's was decent and Amy's is alright too (the same one from SA1 only cut down a little). VALUE There are lots of things to do in this game and it lasts for a little while. The story splits up into two stories: Hero and Dark. Both stories come together but you play one part of it. One of the things I really like about it is its longevity. After you complete the Final Story of the game, you get bonus unlockables like extra soundtracks (warning: do not turn your Dreamcast off once you completed the game. Finish one level first so that the unlockables get saved) Another thing which you can do once finishing the game is collecting emblems. Once you have 180 emblems, then you can unlocj Green Hill Zone!! (even though I haven't unlocked it yet)
Overall, I think this is a stunning Sonic game which excels many of the others and I think that some people don't give this game much of a chance (2D purists that is). To me, this game is DEFINITELY worthy to the Sonic franchise!
