3.5/10? what are you on about
When I first got this game in christmas 2008, I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is. I thought The box made the game look over serious like Sonic Next-gen, but boy was I wrong. The game has a cartoony feeling, which is good. I mean, Sonic is a blue cartoonish unrealistic hedgehog. You can't turn that into a serious-to-the-core character like it's dragonball Z or something. Sonic was made to be more cartoony.
The daytime stages are very well done, and I love it how Sonic blitzes through the stages, depicting a great speed, not slow like Sonic Next-Gen.
Some people hate the werehog. Well, I don't mind the werehog. Sure, it's not anywhere near as fun as the daytime stages, and it's not what you expect in a sonic game, but I don't mind it. The only bad thing about the game really is the medals, which you need to collect to progress through the stages. I hope the medals isn't something that's going to continue in later games.
It was a good idea to get the people who worked on sonic rush to make the daytime stages. They are brilliant. Hopefully the cartoony approach will carry on with Project needlemouse. This has got to be the best sonic game since Sonic adventure 2, at least. And that's certainly saying something, so this game was definitely enough to get me to think better of Sega. It's got me hopeful about project Needlemouse.
