Review

   -Replay: 6/10

     -I probably will not replay this in a while after I beat it. The reason is it’s

       very repetitious already, so playing it once is like playing it 4

       times.

   -Fun: 8/10

     -Chaotix missions were the worst for me, and Team rose was too easy, but

       Team Sonic and Team Dark were very fun and intense. Great

       graphics and levels.

   -Intensity: Varies

     -Chaotix missions 6/10, Amy 7/10, Sonic 8/10, Dark 9/10. I haven’t

       gotten to hard mode, so each will probably increase in intensity by

       one when I unlock it.

   -Mind Challaning: 8/10

     -Does require you to plan out a path and how to do everything just right in

       order to get those A. Chaotix missions are also challenging on

       how to sneak by, and finding things.

   -User Friendly: 10/10

     -This game has a type for each person. For the less advanced players,

       Team Rose is shorter and easier to play. For the more unique

       players they have Chaotix for missions, and for the intense players

       you have Team Sonic and Team Dark. So definitely has

       everything for any person.

   -Overall: 7/10

     -Personally not my absolute favorite, mainly because of it’s Team Choatix

       missions, which were rather annoying if you ask me. Plus all the

       teams went through the same levels (well, nearly), which made

       playing it once like playing it 4 times, then to get the other A’s on

       the side missions, like playing the game 8 times…and then in hard

       mode, 16 times. But it is fun for the Team Sonic nad Dark

       missions.

2 Player Games

14 stages

Game Length: About 35 hours or so, for 100%

Comments: A very unique Sonic game, featuring classic 2 level and a boss battle system, with a new team system. The bonus stages also look very similar to Sonic 2’s bonus area with the spike balls and tunnel, blast from the past so to say. Basic layout is a little different for each character, but most are looking to get Eggman, and end with battling the Egg Emperor. If you get all the chaos emeralds and beat all the stories, you will unlock, the true ending mission too.

Team Sonic Levels: These levels are the medium difficulty, featuring levels at a normal length with average amount of enemies. Still fast pace, fun, and challenging. The side mission of a time trial is definitely fun.

Team Rose Levels: These are the beginner levels, featuring shorter levels, more help, and less enemies. They are pretty easy to ace (did on first try for practically every level, minus the boss levels). Good place to start to warm up.

Team Dark Levels: These are for the advanced users. Harder levels, with more enemies and harder to get score goals. Also feature more fire power and more chances to really put some style into the equation. Side missions are mostly destroy so many targets, bringing out the hard core fighter in all of us.

Team Chaotix Levels: >.< Arg! These are different mission based levels. Either defeat all targets, or find all of this, do not be detected, etc. They can get really annoying because sometimes you have to go through the level to find everything (wasting 10 or so minutes) then redo it to get a good grade. The side missions are equally difficult as they add an even bigger twist which can really be annoying.

Should I buy it? As for all of these, definitely yes. I didn’t rate it that highly because I’m beating it 100%, and I’m on the Chaotix missions, and I dislike htem with an extreme passion. BUT, Team Dark and Team Sonic missions ARE fun, and I enjoyed them a lot. So go out and get it, it’s a vital part of the collection.
