This game is not really fun imo ? The mechs gameplay is boring and take too much time, same with the emeralds hunting but even more boring and frustrating since it takes more time to find the pieces and omg the sonic/shadow gameplay is such a broken mess (even more than the two other types of gameplay).
When the gameplay of Sonic/Shadow is built around 3 things speed, the platforming and the spindash, well the 3 needs to be functional so that the level design can flourish but what would you know !! The spindash works half of the time. And associating that with the platforming/speed, it doesn't mesh well because of some infuriating boss and level gimmicks that just kills/hits you half of the time.
But when it works, this game works, and it's awesome with good levels, music and the best scenario of the franchise (for a Sonic game) this games still achieves to be great !!
