This is a very good Sonic game. To me it is even better than Sonic Adventure. They took this game in a new direction and is very entertaining. The voice acting is horrendous to say the least, and I even felt embarrassed to even be watching it myself.
Once you actually get to the game you will find that it is not the usual sonic. I'm not sure about the camera complaints, I have found the camera to angles to work well at 16:9. Controls take time to get used to, but feel very natural after a few hours.
You can tell this game was made with the Wii in mind, and plays extremely well on it. Besides the terrible voice acting the fact that the tutorial is forced on you when you start a new save file is annoying.
The graphics are great at times, and seem bland at others. Overall these are some of the best graphics on the Wii to date. The action goes from very slow to fast and back again giving you time to focus and is very refreshing from games past where once you got going you didn't stop often making the levels seem pointless.
The addition of some RPG elements like experience and the ability to gain skills overtime is well implemented. You set skills to a ring, while you can only use one at a time, you can save up to 4 rings that you can select to use at the beginning of each game.
The mini games are really slow paced and are really not that fun. It is disappointing how they implemented them and they could have really added a lot of value to this game if they had done this right.
Overall I would give this game an 8.7 out 10.
