LOL what the fudge did I play, like what is this it's so weird, it feels like a dream you would have but Sonic Team made a game about it, it's so bizarre, who let Sonic Team cook!??
This game feels like a true sequel to Sonic Adventure 2 at times, the controls feel smooth like it too, you can go super fast at times, and ring dash is as satisfying as Sonic Adventure 2, and even the style and vibe reminds you of it, in a way Sonic Heroes didn't, especially in terms of gameplay.
The story, what the fudge..... Like it's so freaking weird, even the plot, and just everything. A Shadow the hedgehog game sounds so freaking awesome, but who expected him to use guns and this.. it's so odd.. like I like the concept and it's interesting in a way as it should be but it just feels a rushed mess of different ideas that just didn't stick, that needed more time.
The entire story and characters arcs are a mess I can't keep reiterating it, Shadows character development goes backward for some reason and the different branching paths and different choices to shape your story is cool but it doesn't work. It's too complicated, missions require too many enemies killed or healed or whatever and it just feels boring and like a slog. And the fact you have to play it 10 times to get the true ending is lol.
The level design is also not the greatest, due to the introduction of guns and cars and whatever other complicated gimmick mechanics Sonic team implemented. Again, I respect the effort but there's too much going on in this game and in the levels, that it ends up overcomplicating things and things get rough. I think these levels could've been even better if they had a coherent vision, and implemented the new mechanics and gimmicks better, like the bosses and fighting enemies gets a little boring too because all you're doing is spamming the same thing over and over. But I still enjoyed it.
Can't lie, one or the hardest game openings of all time, so edgy, and the soundtrack is good, I don't think any Sonic game I've played so far has had a bad one. It's fun.
I also just enjoyed the game, it's funny, it's not what you expect, the story's a mess, the writings a mess, but it's like a bad funny/enjoyable type mess, and not a bad bad mess.
Sonic Team, again, had great ideas, but terrible execution, there's so many great ideas here and it's not even the worst game or anything it's fun, but coming from Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 and all the other amazing Sonic games this feels not very good. We as Sonic fans have been served 5 star meals, and going to a 3 star or even a 2.5 its not right, it's jarring. And not to mention the fact this game came out in 2005, and almost everything was a downgrade from Heroes to most people, or people had higher standards since this game looks and feels dated even for when it released.
On to Sonic 2006, I'm scared.
