The fact this came out the same year as Super Mario Galaxy is an insult to platformers. This looks horrible, the story makes no sense, and the controls are sluggish and unresponsive... this is easily the worst Sonic game I've ever played.
The only thing I want to add is just how backward they made the controls. This game has the design of a linear Sonic level and yet plays like an auto-runner, where tilting the controller forward and backward for speed and left to right for side movements. This does not work, at all. They shouldn't have forced motion controls, but what do I know? Anyway, skip this unless you really want to get upset one evening.
