Obligatory HEAVEN CAN'T SAVE US, HELL IS A JOKE and DEATH TO ALL WHO OPPOSE ME
This game really isn't that bad. The controls are really good, only thing I can maybe complain about is the gun aiming not being the best all the time and the homing attack aim also being iffy. Level design can be admittedly pretty boring relying on you using the missions to be engaging but a lot of them are hide and seek more than anything else, I can still find enjoyment in a lot of the levels here. The story is really terribly put together due to the different paths intersecting derailing things since they didn't really take into account the different ways to get to the different levels, but as long as you don't take it too seriously it can be worth a few laughs. Guns are actually pretty cool here, taking out enemies is definitely more convenient than in Sonic Heroes and it actually makes some boss fights pretty cool (though some bosses definitely weren't designed with this in mind lol) but they don't make combat engaging, just quick enough to where it won't be a pace breaker. Missions like I stated earlier can feel very hide and seeky a lot of the time which can get annoying, ESPECIALLY if you're only missing one or two but they don't ruin the whole game. Graphically this is probably the best looking Sonic game from this generation, the only thing that stands out as weird is the Shadow Android models but that's pretty minor. Voice acting too is pretty good here believe it or not, it isn't excellent or anything but there was nothing that stood out as bad like Tails in sa2, sometimes the damns can come off as forced but that just makes it better really. I really appreciate the comedically edgy aesthetic of this game, it's complimented by the music too it's just really fun to indulge in.
StH is definitely flawed and lacking in really fleshing out its ideas but if you can look past that I think you can find a pretty enjoyable game here.
