This game just down right HORROBLE. Did sega rush through this game?
Camera is HORRIBLE, wich needs to be decently good.
VOICE ACTING???Human characters make these wierd sounds. The Text messages should have only existed for this failure.
So many other mistakes to list. Now getting to the point!!!

Don't know if sega had to rush the game so they can meet a relese deadline or what????????. The most important part's of this "not considered game" are missing.

This is an incomplete game that should have not been released when it did.
If the developers gave this game a few more weeks of development, I am sure people would have appreciated it more.
Instead it became a waste of resources, blu-ray disk, time, and money.

Whoever released Sonic like this should be relieved of their job.
Sonic needs to be rethinked from the Dreamcast days. DREAMCAST was the last time Sonic showed what he is made of.

This game is full of glitches and has long load times. I played it on xbox 360 and it wasn't as bad as for playstation. Do not waste your money

I must agree with many of the other reviewers. I purchased this because I thought it would be fun for a freind and I to play sonic like the good old days. Well, I was horribly shocked to find that this has the great graphics and speed of sonic when it is not loading, and the controls are awful to use here. The camera angle keeps wanting to go straigh above the character when you start to run, making it at times impossible to see where your shooter is that is killing you. It really makes the game difficult to enjoy because you are always stopping and tilting the camera. It is possible to make progress, but there is a steep learning curve. Not recommended for young users because it is so tough to hold your attention haing to stop the action all the time to adjust. I'm glad I got it at 1/5 original cost. Good luck in gaming, but skip this one even if you really like sonic.

So, I read all the bad reviews, and hesitantly bought the game. I thought "Surely it's not as bad as everyone says." Turns out I was right. I played through the whole story mode, with a minimum of three to five glitches. To be honest, this had one of the best plots and storylines Sonic The Hedgehog has ever had. The Sonic Episode was a little cheesy, but the Shadow and Silver make up for that.
Oh, and the loading times... Horrid. They made me sick. You sit there four at least five to fifteen seconds, get a two second cut scene, get another five to fifteen second wait, loads the level.

Graphics- Not bad, but far from the Playstation 3's potential.
Gameplay- Same old same old. Oh, wait, there was Shadow's unique air time hand combat, and his Chaos form. Oh, and Silver's Psychokinesis was far from the normal Sonic gameplay.
Storyline- As I said, one of the best.

As for the glitches, I got flung to an early death a few times, as well as continually bouncing off the water where I am suppose to die. But other then that, there weren't many huge problems.

Great game, and for Eight dollars, how can you not buy it? If you like Sonic, I say, no questions asked, buy it. If you are sort of 'It looks interesting, but I dunno...' Play SA2B, SADX, or something like that, THEN get Shadow The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes, etc.

So far I have played most of the three characters
Lots of fun stuff to do and great story. Graphics rock as does the sound and levels. Don't listen to people who hate as they are older fans where as the game is geared to new players of Sonic.
