I had a lot of mods to fix some of the botched porting. I think its a more consistently good game compared to Sonic Adventure 1, but the Sonic levels in that game far surpass every level here. Story is fun though. I like Shadow and Rouge.
I like all the gameplay styles. I think Tails and Eggman's levels are the worst of the 3 styles though. They're better than Gamma's stages though. Knuckles and Rouges stages are much better in this game compared to Knuckles in Adventure 1. For both of these styles its mainly because I have to actually think and the levels present an actual challenge.
I don't like Sonic and Shadow's stages as much as in Adventure 1 since the game's levels are built more like hallways instead of like open spaces. The summersault move is dumb and feels pointless and just makes spindashing less satisfying since now there's a delay to the activation. The light speed dash and bounce are fun though. However, I wish the bounce had a sound effect. The homing attack is much worse though, it has a lower range and has a set distance it'll go before Sonic and Shadow uncurl, plus it doesn't have nearly as much range as it does in Sonic adventure. Rail grinding is cool though. I like crouching and balancing myself on them to gain speed. Switching can be a pain though.
Enemies pop out of nowhere a lot. Parts of stages are re-used a bunch. Sonic and Shadow's stages have a lot of repeated parts that just kind of play themselves, sure you can skip a lot of them, but it happens a fair amount.
The ranking system is pretty cool. I like it a lot. Live and Learn and the final scene is really good. Having everything on the B button sucks, but a mod can fix that. I want to like this game, but it frustrates me a lot. If I didn't play Adventure 1 before this, I probably would like it a lot more.
