I know that VGChartz has a few Sonic experts so I wanted to ask...what gives?

Got the game for Christmas and am probably half way though it, and I just don't get it. It plays great and has some of the best platforming in a 3D sonic game to date. Music and visuals are awesome. Game flow is enjoyable and the story is the good type of cheese...

Absolutely nothing about this game is broken like in Sonic 06 or Sonic Unleashed. For what it is, no one should really review this less than 6/10 IMO, and the Meta average should be in the high 7s.


Fully agree, i think it is a super game that is harshly reviewd. It plays like old school Sonic with a focus on exploration, but can also be played at speed too. Call mr cynical but would it have scored better if it wasnt a Wii U exclusive? I find it to be much better than the ok Sonic generations.


yeah because Colors and those Advance games scored so low...wait a minute

I find it to be at least on par with the games you mentioned gameplay wise, but has more polish better graphics etc..the whole package is decent. The review scores range from 7or 8/10 to as low as 4/10, these inconsistencies are what lead me to be a little cynical. 

I find it to be not on par with the games i mentioned, nowhere near as polished as Colors or Generations but not as frustrating or flat out bad like 06 or Unleashed. Id give it a decent, but not good. Its called opinions thats how they work. The reviews score ranges because its a divisive game, its really that simple if you want to get cynical thats on you, you either like the game or you dont. I happen to fall in the latter category.

And you missed the point of my post. You had seemed to be suggesting some kind of anti Ninty agenda with the reviews of the game, which is false considering past Ninty exclusive Sonics have received good scores, me personally that makes me less cynical as we can rule out foul play.
