This game is absolutely for the younger gamer. I have never owned a Sonic game, but the box looks like some of the more exciting games out there. I feel cheated.

I like the story,but too sad(You/you'll know what I mean).

The moves are better than the control...wayyyyyy better!

Sound 2/5
Voices vs. music! The winner is voices!!(The voices are ok,but the music isn't).

Good job with the graphics(but the game still isn't good).

Overall 2/5
If you're a biiigggggg fan of sonic,they you might like it. But if you're starting to play sonic games,you won't like it.

Sonic Fans only

I'm not a gamer, but my 5 year old son loves his PS2 and is a big Sonic fan. We bought this because he loves Sonic Heroes and Sonic Riders. This game isn't a patch on them! Also I was quite shocked to hear the character say "Damn! not here!" every now and again. So even though my boy loves the game, we try and discourage him from playing it too often because of this.

(@_@) I'm Confused !! I rate this 2.5

From the beginning of the game I was confused as to what my objective was. I run into Sonic who asks me to help him out and then there's some weird star shaped thing with an eye in the middle telling me to destroy the Enemies. Enemies ? Which ones are the Enemies ? It keeps cycling from helping Good to Bad. I'm guessing the game focuses on which side you wanna take ... The Good or the Evil. Every level is pretty confusing that your just gonna have to guess your way through each Level. I'd pick something else if I knew this game wasn't very good.

A HUGE dissapointment

I was so exited about this game when I Iheard about it, but when I went to the game's website I was a little shocked to see a picture of Shadow holding a 9mm. Then I figured that firearms sort of fit Shadow's personality. Then I read the rating and content description to find that it contained mild language. This was shocking to, so I hoped that cursing would come out of only Shadow's mouth. My little brother rented the game, and we tried it out. Now I don't mind cursing, but to hear it come out of the mouths of our favorite sonic character was just plain disturbing. Shadow was an exeption, but when I heard Sonic say "d!@m they got away" it was just to much. I guess Sonic and friends took an intrest in "South Park",were desperate for money forged drivers lisences and got jobs as bus drivers for the local middle school, or Sega was desperate to keep sonic from being thought of as a dorky, childidish game franchise and thought the addition of cursing would help. It probably made it worse for many. The use of firearms by Shadow was a good idea, but Sega overdid it. They took away the high speed twisted gamplay we know and love and replaced it with a Grand Theft Auto like shooting game. It's like When a rock band adds keyboards to widen their sound but instead make them the driving force of their music, which just makes it worse. The Gameplay is no good either. The bad camra angles can be dealt with by using the right anolog stick to control the camra. When you get to high speeds (which happens rarely) you will often run into small enemies you can't see when your running fast, and lose 10 rings. The homing attacks are inacurate and will often have you throwing yourself off a ledge. Worst off all if you chose the hero quest you can't attack soldires on your side. Even when they are ordered to kill you you still get dark points if you attack them in self defense. You may like the game but I suggest that you rent the game first to see if you like it.

A little better than ok

My son loves the game, My problem is that he is only 8 and I find the game a little demonic. Dark creatures following him around, a black-eye-like monster whispering things to him and yes eventually Sonic does manage to get rid of him, and compared to most games out there, it's pretty tame...
