Well, as promised, a much more detailed assesment of the game. Honestly, it just what you expect it to be, a fast 3D Sonic-style game with a gun. Of course there's less just straight up running and more actual walking around and completing objectives, but I don't think the game's really lost anything. You have two meters at the top of the screen, one red and one blue. As you kill "bad guys" your blue bar goes up, as you kill "good guys" the red bar goes up. When your blue bar is full, you get Chaos Control, which is more or less a fast forward through the level. It zips you along til your blue meter is depleted. The red meter gives you Chaos Blast, which destroys everything in a given radius. If you time it just right and destroy enough good guys with your blast, you'll actually refill your red meter and can do it again. And when you get hit, you don't lose every ring you're carrying, just 10 or so, which I think is a big plus. Guns? You got 5 basic groups, and at least 3 different versions of each group, GUN, Black Arms, and Robotnik (I refuse to call him Eggman) depending on what stage you're in. There's pistols, automatics, lock-on weapons, melee weapons, and...I don't remember the other one, but you get the point. Multiplayer is rather weak I'm afraid. You get 3 different versions of Shadow to chose from in 6 different colors. 2 are just normal Shadows, 2 are silver android Shadows with machine guns, and 2 are sivel android Shadows with a lock-on type gun. You only have 3 stages to chose from, and they're all very similar. Not very entertaining, but I guess its the single player mode that was designed to keep your interest. I won't spoil any of the story for you, but there are multiple storylines and endings. The level you progress to depends entirely on which objective you complete. There's always 2 choices, sometimes 3, the good guy choice, the bad guy choice, or what I like to call the "do things my own damn way" choice, the normal choice. So getting every level unlocked and every ending is not something to be done in one night (although I tried, but nevermind) and will keep you entertained for quite a while. If you liked any of the previous 3D Sonic games, I'm sure you'll love this one too. *In case you were wondering, I own the GameCube version* Thank goodness I thought i was the only one who still called him Robotnik... and yea the GC version is superior, so good buy.
