Please play it! It's only a little bit terrible!
Okay, I'm gonna level with you, it's a lot terrible. It stinks. Please play it anyway, I'm begging you! Throw your old pal Sonic a bone! Why won't you love me?!?!?!
...uh... ahem... Haha, radical! Extreme! I'm living a lie, yeah!
I really enjoyed the fact that the create-a-character in this game has a story arc. First time you encounter the bad guy (uh, what was his name again?) you're paralyzed with fear, and through friendship with Sonic the Hedgehog you find your inner courage to beat him the second time. It's not much but most avatar characters get literally nothing, so it was cool seeing emotions on my bird person's face other than "grim determination".
