15 Years later, how does it stand among the rest of the games?

>>726070478Its a nice game held by a meh story and short level lenght
>>726070478its fine i guess. kinda boringnever got the>DUUUUUUUUUDE THE DS VERSION IS ZILLION TIMES BETTER!!!!!!!!!opinion. boost was never that good, rush or not

I didn't play it until after generations and never thought it was anything special, got bored pretty quickly. I feel like Unleashed was a lot worse in an objective sense but was still ultimately more interesting and its high points were much higher. Feel like I'd only dislike it more if I replayed it now since I've long since developed burnout on the whole wisp mechanic/gimmick.
>>726070478wisp are cute colors was fun DS game was better
>>726070478Its an average 2d platformer with on rails 3d sections that came out during at time when the 2d platformer market had moved almost entirely onto handhelds and combined with the Classic Sonic only part of the fanbase being the main cultural voice made ti out to be much bigger than it actually was.
Kishimoto cooked ngl
>>726070478Started the DS version. Only up to the third area so far, but I'd say it's a good improvement on Rush's systems; no free period of infinite boost when the gauge is full, no flying past things with air tricks or trick spam to top off boost for free, wisp transformations are decently interesting gimmicks, and I appreciate stomp adding a fast fall. Bosses feel comically fragile compared to the Rush games.Pretty fun so far.

This and Rush were the games I liked from the Boost era. Replayed it earlier this year when the remaster went to PS+ and it was still alright. I remember Unleashed was fine too. Didn't like Generations at all, though.
>>726070478Best presentation of a Sonic game in the past 15 years. Absolutely love the visuals and music. This was a fantastic way to take the series after Unleashed. Easily the most gorgeous game of the post-Adventure era. But the gameplay just isn't there. The 2D segments are way too basic and the 3D segments are short and mindless. Most of the Wisps are worthless and should have just been part of Sonic's regular moveset. The bosses all suck. The DS version is truly and unironically the better one.
