Better than they say!People always think of this game as a bad game but it is just like sonic adventure 1&2, I think that people were expecting a game with improved mechanics but it has the same which is not what they expected

Not the worst game ever.I'm probably the only one who thinks this game isn't that bad. Nothing great, but not terrible.

For Ages 10 and Up. Slight control difficulty.Game play is more “open world” similar to Sonic Unleashed, rather than the usual “run” to the end of a level like other sonic games. Not a game for a 6 year old unless you plan to play it with/for them. Learned the hard way lol. But overall good game. 4 stars because the controller sensitivity is set to extreme and there’s no way to lower response sensitivity so you’re constantly “sliding” all over the place.

BORING!Not the Sonic I was expecting. Lots of story exposition and very little excitement in the gameplay. Instead of the Sonic I remember, this is more of a world exploration game where you have to walk around different scenes and find clues.

Underrated MasterpieceI've owned this game for years and I've got to say, this game is one of my favorite Sonic games of all time. It features great graphics for 2006, an amazing story that will keep you playing for days, incredible voice acting by Jason Griffith, and all 3D gameplay just like the Sonic Adventure games. The game overall gets lots of hate for being "glitchy", but when I fully play the game, I only come across a few here and there, which is understandable for it being the first game in the series on the 360 and PS3 harware. The levels are expansive with vast variety and exploration and the bosses are a good mix of difficult and fun.
If you haven't played this game and have heard bad reviews on it, then you shouldn't listen to them. Make your own opinion about this game and give it a try. It's definitely better than any game they've released in the past 8 years

Its a pretty decent game.I first played this game long while ago, and I found it really fun! I didn't mind the glitches one bit. The story could use more work, and wish it turned out the way it was intended around E3.
