Wow.
A bit scattered here, but this is not only a major improvement from the last two Spark titles, but a game that manages to hold its own compared to the Sonic Adventure titles themselves! Great music, fun levels, near-perfect physics, lots of variety, just an absolute blast of a game. Really glad I decided to grab it, and a perfect way to end the year/ring in a new one.
I really wanna rate this a bit higher because I had a ton of fun with it, but the minor issues sorta pile up. At times I do feel it is perhaps a bit too self indulgent, the combat is just a tad too clunky with encounters that drag, the art style still feels a bit all over the place, and I experienced enough general buggy weirdness throughout my time with the game that it feels right at this score. I'm hopeful they'll at the very least fix the camera going crazy almost every single time you reload at a checkpoint.
Also it's kinda insane that they went and added all the Spark 2 levels for free. How great is that? Can't wait to see what's in store for the future of this game, much less the series.
