I love Sonic, it was the first ever game I had on my old Mega Drive and when I saw this in the shops I had to buy it.I really enjoyed the game - to start with. Then came a level not too far from the start where the camera angles were so appauling and frustrating that the game will NEVER get played again in my PS2.
Funky 3D graphics are nice, if done correctly - unfortunately this game doesn't. Not only are some of the camera angles stupid, but the whole perception is wrong in places. Sonic Team if you are reading this then please go back to what you know best. I'll gladly play a new 2D Sonic game, it's not fancy graphics that I'm after, it's good gameplay.
The reason I'm giving it 3 stars and not lower is because like I said I did enjoy the game at the start, and I want to enjoy it now, but I just don't.
