Is this the best 3D sonic?

Music is god tier
Gameplay is meh, some comfy af stages though

Sonic Adventure and its successor are the two best 3D Sonic games, this is 3rd. Anything after this is basically a racing game.

Considering how the Nintendo audience fell in love with Sonic's first appearance on Nintendo via SA2B, no.

It was the start of the end for Sonic the Hedgehog, both for the 90s fans and newly formed 2000 fans.

It has its moments like the music and final boss, also the team gimmick is pretty cool. But its held back by shit controls and some questionable level design (casino park, bingo highway).

Fuck no
>ring dash is inconsistent and rarely works like it should
>most springs in the game kill you because you can't move until you start falling, but the shitty level designers didn't align you over rails properly half the time.
>rail switching is an unfinished mechanic that just sends you into death pits
>enemies have iframes and they last too long
>the level up benefits are unbalanced across the character types
>you have to beat the game 4 fucking times to get the final boss
>the alternate missions aren't different or interesting enough to justify the play time
>story is minimal with little to no effort
>the bosses are garbage, when they even are bosses. Enjoy the shitty team fights and enemy swarms.
>rocket accel doesnt fucking work because its triggered when your teammates happen to warp jump directly on you, otherwise you kick
>throwing your teammates as fire balls disables them for way too long
>triangle jump sometimes kills you because you don't gain height when jumping off, yet it will dismount you from the wall too far away
>high contender for worst special stage, because its a rehash that someone messes it up worse than the predecessors. Seriously, You get stuck on the wall at every turn.
>accessing a special stage sucks and only half of them give you something meaningful.
>mission based levels are fucking cancer, and its cranked up to 12 for the chaotix alternate missions.
>only sense of speed is scripted loops since you have to stop at every enemy roadblock to open a cage

>amazing graphics and music
honestly a classic gem, what a great time this game is

This. What a disappointment after Adventure 2.

>level designers
>s
One of the two level designers got sick midway through, and the other one had to do the entire thing on a strict time limit while also on the other side of the planet from everybody else. But yeah, you're right, except the missions were mostly fine and the story was made simple to reflect Sonic 1 and 2's simple plot.

This. All of this. I will never understand people that say SH is great.

>>ring dash is inconsistent and rarely works like it should
there is a spot in team dark's casinopolis act 1, where there is a line of rings starting from a dice and leading upwards. if you take the first couple of rings and stand under them when you dash, you fly into the sky

It's an underrated masterpiece. This is the definition of soul.

Objectively no but it's the one I enjoy replaying the most and it really did have a lot of potential to be the best

No, even as a kid I thought it was shit and quit on the jungle level because of how retarded it felt to play.

I miss getting items in Sonic and going back to previous levels to find more secrets

It's the worst
>but 06!
06 is bad in a fun way. Heroes is bad in an annoying way.

Really, who thought those physics and that special stage were okay? You have to fight the game just to get it to work properly, and if you make the mistake of touching the top 1/3 of the special stage pipe you get fucking glued to it

I love shitting on sonic heroes
BUMP

>"SHIT ROCK YEAUGH!"
Yes.

There is nothing fun about 06, no don't give me that "it's fun when drunk with friends" bullshit.

This. Retarded "fun" is not real fun.

All this, plus the very fact there are standard enemies that take more than one hit to kill and you must STOP to clear out areas with them several times. For all the autistic complaints on "GOTTA GO FAST" this game has a huge blindspot attached on that supposed requirement for a series that was just meant to be Mario with momentum.

Tails and Rouge VA were shit.
And you could get stuck/lost in some maps really easy stopping you from going fast.
