My first impression of the game was pretty bad. I disliked the controls at first and that was my reasoning mainly for disliking it. However, the game has gotten much better with practice and powerups; it's starting to move a bit faster making it closer to the game I was hoping for. I like the homing attack controls, turning, and the grinding(although I REALLY hated them at first). The jumping is pretty annoying still though and that's my biggest complaint, that bigger jumps really weakens running speed.
Nothing to make a big deal about, but it feels pretty pointless to earn silver/gold medals and to collect fire rings as well.

Has this strayed away from the party games that Sonic has kind of turned into? I got a Wii Saturday and was looking at games today. I'll take any suggestions for games. None have caught my eye yet. I only have Zelda and of course Wii Sports.

Trauma Center, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance are fun, but only for so long. The former being solo, the latter is a blast in multiplayer.
Warioware, and uhm... whatever that Pangya Golf game is called on this side of the ocean are pretty good too.
Super Monkey Ball is worth checking out as well.
And I really have heard nothing but bad things from the new Sonic as well.

This game... I got it...
Honestly... I wasn't satisfied.
I can say that I truly wasn't...

It's yet another 3D Sonic game Post-Dreamcast, what did you expect?
If Sega had stayed a console and first party developer, I'd say that they'd put a lot more effort in their titles =/

Sorry for Sonic Derail: Tiger Woods PGA Golf comes out in March I would rather wait for that. I thought about getting that golf game as well. I got too mad at the TC for DS so I wont bother with the Wii one honestly. Sad to hear Marvel: UA isn't that great. I had high hopes for it. I can't wait for SSB:B to come out.
Glad I read these reviews from personal opinions. My brother was saying he heard good reviews about it somewhere and tried to talk me into buying it. Now after reading this and mixed reviews on another website I think I'll stick to renting it. I must thank you all for saving me 50 bucks

Well...
Controls are very awkward. Graphics are mediocre--But that's to be expected in this type of game...
Spoiler... but ehh, who cares?
Since Sonic is litterally sucked into the book of the One-Thousand and One Arabian Nights, Sonic meets several characters from his world reincarnated into the story.
King Shahlryar is played by Dr. Robotnik...
Ali Baba is played by Tails...
Sinbad of the Seven Seas is played by Knuckles...
And so on and so forth.
This game, as you know, is played in 2.5-D
Two-Point-Five (or Two and a Half) dimensions... The technical term to refer to games that are rendered in 3-D, but play is executed in 2-D. Like Squaresoft's "Einhander" for PlayStation. "NiGHTS into Dreams" for Sega Saturn. "Sonic Rush" on Nintendo DS. "Kirby 64" for Nintendo 64, and NAMCO's "Klonoa" franchise.
...
There are some response problems with the game. The Tutorial missions annoy the hell out of me. It's really hard to Brake (yes, I said "Brake". Because during Play, Sonic is progressively running forward, non-stop along an invisible track. All you're doing is tilting the remote left or right, and jumping where need be. You're only controlling which direction he moves in) ... The cutscenes are "OK", I guess. They're stills of animated cels, to give the effect that Sonic is actually inside a tattered old storybook.
The voice of the main storyline villain--An evil Genie with a weird haircut known as the "Erazor Djinn"--has a very cheesy, saturday-morning-cartoon villain voice.
In fact... Do you know who he sounds like?
HE SOUNDS LIKE FUCKIN' CELL IN THE AMERICAN DUB OF DRAGON BALL Z.
... *Sigh*...
Ever since fuckin' "Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg"... Sonic Team has gone to shit.
Well... I think they've gone to shit BEFORE then.
The last actually GOOD game they made was "Sonic Adventure 2"... On the Dreamcast. And that's it.
