I'm not an avid Sonic player but I really enjoyed this game, especially the open levels though I wasn't as into the more traditional Sonic levels. The story was also interesting enough to keep me playing but not spectacular by any means and there seemed to be a lot of references to events/characters of past games which I did not understand. The music selection was underwhelming, I was hoping for more classic Sonic tracks rather than the generic rock songs used in later games. There were certainly elements to this game that could've been polished up a bit but overall I mostly enjoyed my time with it.
