What I want to know is how two games published under the same label (Sonic Boom) at the same time can have such incredibly different levels of quality? I've heard a good bit positive about Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, what the heck happened to Sonic Boom: Rise of the Lyric? I mean, I wouldn't say it looks terrible; I've played terrible games and so far this doesn't reach those lows. But It looks mediocre in many ways and unoptimized and just lazy in so many aspects.

Frankly - and I know this is going to possibly make some old school Sega fans squirm perhaps - maybe Nintendo should have taken the reigns here? They do have a better pedigree with 3D action platforms. Even if it was a collaboration, at least the game would have been put through the rigors of Nintendo's QA.
