If I was you, I would be telling me the same thing as well.
At this point, though, I'm just amused by how bad 90% of this is and want to see if it can possibly get any worse.

I agree on some of your points, Frog. I, too, actually like the weird realistic humans/Eggman look for Sonic and some of the levels do have moments of greatness, but, even though Sonic, Silver, and Shadow take the spot light, you do have sections, and sometimes complete levels, where you have to use a secondary character like Tails or Knuckles (and what I've seen in the manual, Rogue, Blaze, Amy Rose, and one of those E-Series robots) and, at least with Tails and Knuckles, they feel extremely half-finished characters (Tails throws a fake ring box as a weapon? Really? Knuckles' animation for climbing up a wall looks like shit. It's really amazing).

I don't get why you continue to punish yourself with misplaced nostalgia. They will never recapture the magic. It's best to just forget anything after your last happy moment with the series.

I actually liked what they were trying to do with this game, but it seriously needed like another 9 months in development. At least. But I liked the general design, return to Sonic Adventure style, but with three characters that were all action based and a good style fit for the game. It really could have been something, but it released it what can only be described as early beta state.

Had they cleaned up the loading time horseshit, fixed the collision/targeting glitches, polished the level design up, etc, it could have been a solid return to the Sonic Adventure days.

I'll give it to you when you come down for Christmas (Are you coming down for Christmas?).

I'm actually thinking about trying to play this some more today, see if I can get past the shitty snowboarding section.

I can't believe how bad this game is.

Smart move. If I could go back in time and smack it out of my hands, I would. The trade in value of $3.25 that Amazon is offering sounds like a fantastic offer.

Now four years after it came out I've realized that not only did I miss that it was released but I completely forgot it existed. Those are not good signs!

I remember the demo level being pretty fun, although a little glitchy. It's just amazing that in the final game about 80% of your time is spent in the shitty hub world. It's almost like the levels are only there to further progress your hub-world adventures. Simply ass-backwards.

Haha - I know he does. Final score of 8.5... I wish I could find the full review because I'd love to know his reasoning.
