Well, the main reason I liked the game is because of Silver and Shadow's gameplay. Sonic himself... didn't really interest me much. In all honesty, I think I might have a subconscious bias against Sonic's gameplay. It comes from his status as the most, er, basic character in the game. Granted, sometimes, as the most basic, he's actually the hardest to play as, but his simplicity as a playable character generally scares me away, and sort of bores me. The gems for Sonic's shoes in this game helped, but they didn't make the cut for me.

Crisis City was my favorite level in the game, with White Acropolis being second place. Dusty Desert was... just fine, in my book. My favorite bosses were probably the Character Battles. Yes, that includes the Silver VS Sonic fight, from Sonic's point of view.

I rarely ran into glitches on my first playthrough, and even now, the glitches I run into are nowhere near the level of what many others have reportedly encountered. Some glitches are kind of... amusing. I've never run into a glitch that actually killed me. Should I feel lucky? Maybe. But it doesn't matter to me.

The story didn't bother me at the time (I got the game and first played it roughly 3 years ago). Nowadays, there are some things that don't make sense. But I realize that such is inevitable, and have let these things go by.

The Elise scene didn't bother me then, and it doesn't bother me now. I feel perfectly fine.
