A game that has been strongly criticizedby fans of Sonic, others just pick up the game and say ive had enough already.

Some Sonic fans like myself find this game to be pretty good, the platforing forward running 3d gaming pays off really well, the graphics look fantastic.

The game can be quite flawed in some different ways depending on what version of the game you have, the PC version depending on your system hardware at tops will give you fantastic graphics, great sound, controls are okay, Gamecube and XBOX versions are best console versions with the best graphics and frame rate, very recommended you buy this one if you dont have a high quality pc. But the big let down is that the Playstation 2 version, its awful the graphics look poor, the controls are worse, the sound is really stuffy, and low volumed, and the frame rate is very bad, steer clear of that one if you want this game and have this system and have the others too.

The game over all platforms is good the story is okay i guess, i like the way you can switch characters, but the flurry of extra characters are too much and doesn't make the game look good, to be honest with you it's worth playing as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles and ignoring the rest.

There are some very bad points of the game, in the casino levels when you get to the pinball tables and ramps, they send you everywhere leaving things uncontrollable, and when you take on the other character team bosses at the end of some levels, they are stupidly unchallengable, with no strategy in place for you to challenge them, you can get lucky sometimes by bashing buttons, these are very bad and could really have been changed before final released, otherwise its very good to play, its a fairly good challenge and is like a proper old school sonic game except for the fact that you tag characters.
