Hmmm, not sure if troll... but here are my reasons why I loved the game (not more than SA1, but still very good):
First reason:
If you hate Sonic games with rock music in them... I hate you.
Second reason: Shadow had one of the best deaths in gaming history. It was truly beautiful. I blame Sonic Battle for reviving him out of nowhere...
Third reason: The GameCube version had an amazingly addictive multiplayer. I played tons of it.
Fourth reason: You don't count the Chao Garden... but that's exactly one of the cool things with it! Plus, if you played the GameCube version and had Sonic Advance you could transfer your Chao and do fun things with it.
Fifth reason: Why are you complaining about the Knuckles levels? They were the same in Sonic Adventure. And the linearity? Gimme a break, same thing in Adventure 1. And about Sonic Team forcing you to play characters... So you're telling me, when you played Adventure 1, that you only played with Sonic or something?
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
