This is the best Sonic game since Sonic Adventure 1 and 2...and is better too.
Fans have wanted a GOOD Sonic game for a long time now. Some fans (like myself) highly enjoy Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. Many however hate the two games. So in comes Bioware to fill in that Sonic gap.
The game plays more like a traditional turn based RPG like the older Final Fantasy games. During special attacks, the player must tap and draw specific movements on the touch screen to mimic the attacks. The game STILL unfortunately feels the need to call Dr. ROBOTNIK Eggman for some reason. It's gotten to the point where I just immediately read Robotnik whenever I see the word Eggman anymore. Besides that annoying flub the storyline of the game is wonderful and allows the player to play as most of the main (and side) characters in the Sonic universe.
The game is fun to explore, the music is always catchy and highly enjoyable and the experience of playing a new, high quality Sonic game is just an incredible experience. Let's hope for a sequel. This game is certainly good enough to deserve one.
