If the idea of a Sonic-themed RPG sounds like a bad idea to you, this game is to blame. A bizarre presentation of horrible character models and animations against ugly backgrounds, the use of nothing other than the touch screen to control everything (even things that could be easily assigned to buttons, like menus), a battle system that works like a more punishing version of a rhythm game, where missing one note will cripple your entire action, a dreadful soundtrack with the most boring and lazy MIDI files you will ever hear, and weird implementation of a dialog tree system where you can turn Sonic into the biggest asshole you will ever see.

I know some people still wish for a good Sonic RPG, but we all know how this franchise works. If a new concept for a Sonic game isn't a home run from the very first attempt, they will simply kill that concept out of fear of failure, instead of giving it another chance and hopefully improve upon it.
