One of the few Sonic games that I really feel divided towards. On one hand, the gameplay during 3D sections is really responsive and fluid, the OST is one of the best in the entire franchise, the wisps are really fun to use and well executed in my book, and the graphics are quite beautiful for a Wii game.
On the other hand however, the story is lackluster, the humor doesn't exist, the level design as a whole feels very rough at times due to some levels being really short and linear, and the characterization is really messy (especially Sonic himself), marking a before and after in terms of character inconsistency throughout the entire series.

I don't wanna sound rude about this, but thank god both Ken Pontac and Warren Graff were not writers for Frontiers 😓 (No offense towards them, of course)
