This game is a huge leg up over Spark 2, which I did not enjoy very much. While Spark 2 had open ended levels where it was easy to get lost, this game has amazing level design where it is always pushing you forward along with side routes filled with hidden collectables to find.

Cities, forests, factories, an airport, volcanos, beaches, and even levels in space with lo gravity this game has incredibly fun creative levels. Along with the usual Sonic Adventure style stages it also has challenge stages focusing on each ability, missions where you have an open area and need to find coins, time trials, and even come car and helicopter stages. The game also feels so good, the movement is speedy but easy to control with the addition of the wall jump/run and homing attack.

The combat is much improved, giving you the ability to perform combos and buy upgrades. The boss fights are also a lot more creative than they were in Spark 2, though this aspect of the game is still my least favorite. It is not a huge negative this time at least. I have nothing to say about the story, I accepted half way through that I had no idea what was going on so I just gave up on it...

All in all a great ending to this Sonic inspired trilogy!
