Why do I like this game, you ask? This was my first 3D Sonic title. Due to this, it got me interested into other characters in the series, such as Shadow, Rouge, Omega, and Silver. With that, I made it a task to get all the main series Sonic games, which to this date, I have completed, for better or for worse (ain't too fond of Sonic Heroes...). And I'm proud of it.

As for the game itself? I'm a little more on the forgiving side when it comes to certain glitches. I wasn't too thrilled with the whole "Elise" concept after finishing the game's story, but I did like the multiple playable characters (which SEGA is currently lacking), and the music. My favorite stages are Crisis City and Flame Core (and I'm happy they resurrected the former for Sonic Generations). But, there were some things that frustrated the hell out of me, like the Super Speed areas and the first fight against Silver. But, all in all, I think this is a decent game. It certainly has enough content (which I will admit, can require a lot of patience), and if SEGA wouldn't have rushed it, it would've been better yet.
