I'm normally a shoe-in to have fun with 3D Sonic games, and, well... I've had some fun with Shadow the Hedgehog. It wasn't a lot, but it could be worse, I suppose. The controls feel off, all the different Hero/Dark/Neutral pathways to keep track of is all just a bit too dense for me & weapon inclusion was somehow both nifty & bizarre. I'd stick with the Adventure ports or even Heroes if you're looking to try a 3D Sonic around this timeframe.
