a game about duality is also one im very split on, but im tired of essays so heres my surface thoughts:
-sonic and shadow have the best 3d sonic, like, ever. this kind of level design mised up with some levels tlike red mountain from sa1 would be peak sonic but i cant have nice things
-tails and eggman add variety to a game that doenst really need it. they range from okay to actually pretty cool but when im outside of eternal engien, weapons bed and cosmic wall im just kind of wondering why this had to be here. at least the late deem bristows perfromance eggman is entertaining as hell
-knuckles and rouge are bad. pumpkin hill is a vibe but even that level is kind of bad and its only saved by good themeing.
geniunely who thinks rng in a game like this is good, come ON
the ranking system is amazing and really boosts replayablity in levels, and the chao garden is amazing (and should be brought back). but this game is brought down by terrible missions with rouge and knuckles and some of tails and eggmans levels arent so hot either.
a sonic game with speed style gameplay similar to this one and the chao garden would be too perfect for this world sadly, but i think most of this game is good enough that its the second best 3d sonic (behind generations)
also the story is pretty banging, but the writing could have been better and funky animations dont help me take it seriously.
