Hah... haha....

No. It's not. It's a VERY mediocre game. I unfortunately bought it on the PS3, remembering that I loved it, and uh... Yeah... It REALLY doesn't hold up very well.

Geez I don't know why I even thought I'd look down here. It seems anything slightly fringe or outwidth the norm tends to get bashed by the vast majority of Duders.

Think it looks fine, the characters may look slightly different but I don't mind them, they seem to be a blend of 'old' generations and 'new' generations Sonic cast. Except for Knuckles who is just a full mix of muscle but HEY if it means Knuckles is actually significant again in a Sonic game I'll take it.

I remember being absolutely baffled at its awfulness, especially since I had heard good things from the reviews for the Sonic Adventure games in the Dreamcast days. I was like 12 or 13 years old when I played Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and I seriously couldn't believe how atrocious it was. Seriously. It wasn't good then a couple years after its original release, and it's DEFINITELY not good now.

In other news, the Genesis Sonic games (1-3+Knuckles) are still pretty fun. Well, the original is not too great. But whatever.

Knuckles skipped leg day. Did anybody say that yet?

But anyway, who is Big Red Button? Never heard of them.

Oh God. Please stop making Sonic games. How about a new After Burner?
