I'd have given 4 stars but the framerate just not it. The best version is on XB Series
For me that's where they did modern Sonic levels just right. Not too easy, not too short and not being 99% 2.5D sections.
Eggmanland was the challenge I wished for so long in a Modern Sonic game.
Since people complained about those in Unleashed, we got the results in later games (Generations, Forces, Cyberspace) where the levels are just ridiculously easy and short ( you can finish them under 1min or less), and since Sonic Team didn't wanted to try new things anymore, we're stuck with the same re-used levels.
In Unleashed, the levels and their environment is really varied, and colorful. The level design of the modern stages are reallyfun and engaging with a good mix of 3D and 2.5D.

Wherehog is just fine, a god of war clone, but some parts in his levels are questionable (mostly when it comes to platforming). I can't really recommend it with that kind of framerate. Definitely go for the next gen version.
I also like the fact they made those level longer and you just chilling doing them. Though the music getting cut off because of fights can be very frustrating.

Also the game has cool hubs and you can unlock secret levels !

In short, that's one of the most complete and fun (but sometimes frustrating) Modern Sonic game you can experience (by modern I mean ps3/360 gen and higher).
