I've really enjoyed playing this very unique 3D Sonic game and I wish I didn't wait so long to finally get to it. It's a Sonic parkour game essentially! I feel like it takes around 15 hours to really get all the controls and special actions down and truly feel like you are mastering it. The game doesn't do a great job at teaching you the more skilled techniques and subtle controls either. Some functions I learned by reading or watching it or just finally stumbling upon how best to use certain techniques accidentally. It's unlike any other Sonic game out there in the way it controls so of course it's going to be fairly jarring/confusing/frustrating at first.

I really got a kick out of seeing all the classic badniks return in a 3D environment! The Deadly 6 really grew on me over time when they first just kinda felt like generic cartoon baddies but all have some entertaining personalities and lines. Give this game the time it deserves to really learn how it plays, especially if you are a Sonic fan. There is a lot of fun movement and action/attack options you won't find anywhere else in the franchise.

Like when you enter Circus Park or take to the skies in Sky Troops.

Yeah I'll have to find some time to boot it up on the GC one of these days. I had issues with the take on the character and some decisions with the story I've heard about though.

I played it on the Xbox and its really good, by the way, they both have designs that clash with the rest of the series style.

Oh in what ways? I still haven't played Shadow the Hedgehog yet! I got a copy a few years ago for Gamecube now though! :LIMBO_boy:

By the way, the Zeti are very similar to the Black Arms, specifically Black Doom, from Shadow the Hedgehog.

I definitely agree with that! Would appreciate seeing Zeena and Zor in a game again somehow. Yeah they definitely are the best designed of the Zeti

I like Zeena and Zor the most because they have the best personalities, voices and designs.

Hmmm I like like Zavok's voice and really threatening comments, I like Zor's emo and pessimistic attitude, I think Master Zik is fun as the old wise master stereotype but I probably like Zeena the most. :SonicHedgehog:
