why'd it get such bad ratings?

Not sure,from what I heard its flooded with glitches and such. Sonic apparently runs to slow. There's bad voice acting. The love story between sonic and the girl is apparently *bleep*. I dunno. I've never played it.

EDIT:Did I just get bleeped? I didn't even swear! What the crap!

I guess its in the eyes of the beholder.....

Personally I like this game more than unleashed because Im not crazy about the whole Werehog thing. Kinda stupid to tell ya the truth.

Idk its kinda hard for me cause i havent played any sonic games in a long time but i think its still an ok game

wht r u guys talkin about; it bores the hell outa me, the main reason is that it always says now loading, everywhere u go, also if u lose all your lives u hav to start from ages back, whenevr i went into white acropolis i died and had to do the missions prior to white acropolis again

That just seems like a bad player. In my opinion yes it could have been a bit faster and sonic had his fast moments as well but the game itself is actually very good. It has an interesting story and shadow doesn't have amnesias for once in his life. The game play is good and it deserved more than it was given
