Just so I'm on the same page, what is wrong with Jet?

1) He's an annoying character
2) He's got a very annoying voice
3) He's another in a line of unneccesary characters to the Sonic Universe
4) Tekno the Canary was way better

1) Agreed
2) I'm used to shitty voices, so eh
3) He'll vanish like the rest eventually...I hope
4) He's(?) from Sonic the Comic (UK)?

And to re-rerail topic, I assume it's ok to start posting reviews?

Confirmed dual languages, so I'm a happy little cynical voice actor.

The game was TOO short in my opinion. I beat it in only two hours. I'm SURE that there's plenty of stuff left to find and explore, but just running through the story....yeah.

That seems to be a complaint, although, I do appreciate the story being non-mission based, unlike Secret Rings. that was a hassle.

You're not doing a very good job!

REVIEW TIME!!!
NOTE: I'm unable to review multiplayer because I don't have a 2nd numchuk for my other Wiimote.

Story 5.5

PLOT: While preparing for a date with Amy, Sonic is suddenly sucked into the world of King Arthur by Merlina, the granddaughter of Merlin. Its up to Sonic to stop King Arthur and stop his unusual evil ways.

RESULT: The story is pretty short, you can basically beat it in a day (3-5 hours, if you don't get sidetracked with other missions). As well, the whole story felt completely rushed, I was actually enjoying the story a bit (strangely but it could just be my love for medieval times). The climax was pretty epic but was ruined it with a horrible ending. Some of the dialogue was pretty cheesy as well with 1-2 overly dramatic moments, but IMO it was better then S&TSR.

Gamepley 5.5

The movement isn't broken and unresponsive but its terribly clunky, especially when the camera is in 2D view. Slashing with the wiimote actually works well in the game. Quick time slash events are broken however... This really pissed me off. There are times when you need to slash when a shaking wii remote appears on screen. Sometimes it will show a slow shaking remote and a fast shaking remote. The fast shaking remote messed up the game horribly, because of this bosses will be almost impossible to beat(especially if your fighting Shadow(Lancelot) for the 2nd time which I still can't beat. You will need to shake the remote right before or exactly when it appears on screen right on the dot, if you slash after the wii remote appears on screen it will result in failure. What doesn't help either is the fact the fast shaking wii remote appears "VERY" briefly so you have little to no time to react. However the slow shaking remote works perfectly fine and gives you a fair amount of time. Unlike many other 3D sonic games, Every character has different abilities and fighting styles, a big plus in my book. As well you can customize armor and weapons by giving Tails(the blacksmith) junk you find it levels. However these can only be used by other characters, not Sonic. As for levels, most of the first ones you play are short and easy then later on the levels becoming rather quite difficult and longer with some of them requiring you to beat them under a time limit. Which isn't so bad though. Another thing that bugged me was the townspeople in game because there are times you have to give them rings by doing a quick time event which I found incredibly stupid, as well there are missions in which you cannot touch them but the thing is they have a extremely bad draw distance and they will appear about 10 feet away from you which can be very difficult to avoid. Finally, some of the junk(presents) can be equipped with some abilities, most of them are useless though and mostly used to lower costs of buying the stuff you get after a level. However there is some cool ones that change the level's music when you play such as Lancelot's medal which plays "All Hail Shadow" while in-game.

Sound 7.0

All though its a matter of taste, I really did enjoy the music in the game. I think the only song i didn't like was the music that played after you completed a level which is also the same one that plays in your gifts collection. Some of the music is rather good but unfortunately forgetful. As well, you will hear some familiar tunes from past games. Sound effects are ok, if not repetitive. Voice acting wasn't so bad like in S&TSR, however is till has a long way to go. For this game, the worst voice acting belonged Lisa Ortiz, the voice of Amy (Lady of the lake) but hey it isn't as bad as hearing Erazor Jynn over 9000 times. :lol:

Graphics 9.0

Sonic games look better and better and better and better with each following title on Wii, and this is no exception. Graphics are easily one of the best on Wii. However Sonic's 3D model is not up to par with his Unleashed counterpart. As well, I'm really sick of the slide show cutscenes, they should just be entirely animated. I not a fan of the storybook feel. However though, they are a step up from S&TSR's cutscenes in terms of detail and frames.

Replay Value 4.0

Most important items such as songs and videos can be unlocked just by completing levels. If you want, you can find more junk and try to obtain all weapons or get other characters for multiplayer. Nothing really worthwhile to play the game all over again.

Total- 6.2

Pros:
Beautiful graphics
Great Music
Multiple characters
Shadow says ultimate

Cons:
Clunky movement
Broken slash QTEs
Short length

Overall, I say its not worth $50, wait till the price goes down.

This guy's doing a playthrough for those who don't quite fancy playing the game themselves.

I just picked it up today and the only thing I think I disagree with you on so far RGX is the storybook cutscenes. I think they're gorgeous. Much better than the comic book style in Secret Rings and leagues better then in-game model cutscenes.

The game tries to fool you that the game is over. Go back to single player and you'll see a new area has been unlocked. Choose the only mission in the area and the game will continue.

I never said it was ugly, I just want it fully animated. :P

I would also like to say, this game has my favorite final boss EVER (in a 3D sonic game).
