This is in fact, the third or second best Sonic game ever made. I'm not sure yet.

Speed stages are goat obviously. Mech stages are great if you apply the mod that improves the controls and the treasure hunting stages are also great if you add the radar improvement mod. Without these mods, they are still fun, just a bit more annoying.

The story is interesting, some might dislike it for the inconsistent voice acting and aged animations and such. But me? I see the heart of this game, I see how Shadow isn't just some edgelord, he is a living and breathing character with depth. The finale is one of the best in gaming due to the high pumping stakes and music but then right after the ultimate sacrifice is made for the greater good, then ending on a melancholy note. This game's story isn't super serious, but when it is it's done extremely well.

Finally, the replayability of this game is insane, I love how hard getting A ranks is, the amount of extra missions and the Chao garden. This game can easily last 100's of hours.
