Now that the dust has settled.... Was it actually a decent game or is it just nostalgia?

The Sonic/Shadow levels and the Chao Garden were the major redeeming factors, and the cutscenes are neat
Everything else was filler

It's still a very good game. I'm not the biggest fan of the Chao Garden as it is though, if it was like twice as fast for increasing levels and didn't have a limited inventory for animals I'd probably be a bigger fan of it.

People will tell you the mech and emerald searching stages suck but the truth is that people misunderstand them. They become infinitely more fun when you start going for A ranks and begin to understand the mechanics behind the points system

This, I always loved mech levels, always loved the music in them, also, to the fuckers who say "Tails, Rouge and Shadow were last minute additons" then fucking LOL, you just don't "shit out" half a game at the last minute with unique music, gimmicks, layout and art direction for the stages.

This, I even managed to complete the timed level with Rogue on my first try. That level has filtered countless players.

It was a great game but with glaring flaws.

The jank is part of the charm though. It’s like skateboarding down a broken escalator—you’re either eating shit or having the time of your life. Sonic/Shadow stages had flow if you actually learned the routes. If you're speed boosting into walls, that's on you, not the game.

One of the best games of all times. Best game in the Sonic series by far.

I enjoyed it so much more when I installed a mod that let me play through a single style of gameplay at a time. It felt much easier to engage with the search and shooting stages on their own terms when I wasn't getting bounced around

Dark story was better than Hero story.

But it begs the question why there was a space shuttle in a haunted pyramid, that also didn't have it go into low Earth orbit.

Eggman levels are better than sonic
Werehog is better than day stages
3D platformers are king, running fast is for COWARDS

Its the best 3D sonic, from a time when Sega had to actually put in the effort.
The chao garden alone could have been a whole ass game on the ps1.

The whole pyramid is eggmans secret base, it's the only place in the game that has eggman SA1 bots. There are some GUN bots on the outside, but eggman himself explains they are trying to find the entrance.

It was actually s decent game and none of these youtuber loving cunts over analyzing a game made for children over 25 years ago will ever change that

I really don't like any of tails mech stages. Eggmans are good because they actually focus on racking up big scores, instead of slapping on weird gimmicks. Except sand ocean, that level sucks.

I agree that Eggman's are better on average (same for Knuckles over Rouge and Sonic over Shadow: You can tell that the original intent was just Sonic, Knuckles, and Eggman being playanle or at least the focus per the early teaser trailers), but I don't think any of Tail's stages are "bad" other then maybe Eternal Engine which is the only arguably bad mech stage in general

In fact i'd say Hidden Base is probably better or as good as Sand Ocean, Prison Lane is about as good or only slightly worse then Iron Gate, and the same is probably true for Mission street vs Lost colony. It's really mostly just that Eternal Engine is iffy and Weapon's Bed and Cosmic Wall are great

Mission street is also annoying, mostly because of those slow moving up and down platforms you constantly have to wait on. Hidden base is bad for the same reasons sand ocean is bad, since they are basically the same stage. The prison levels are fine I guess, but eggmans feels like it has more focus on busting up stuff.
