"IGN" wrote:7.5 Presentation
Gorgeous cinematics and a clever branching storyline feature. Mixes most of the major Sonic characters into the storyline. Basic menu work.
5.0 Graphics
Dreamcast-esque. Lots of level variation and the framerate holds together on GCN and Xbox. (PS2 is another story.) But the visuals lack polygon numbers, texture detail, and fluid animation.
5.0 Sound
Forced 80s' rock music mingles with overcooked acting. At least the characters feature voice work, though. Runs in Dolby Pro Logic II.
4.5 Gameplay
Fundamentally flawed and dated mechanics. Thrill-ride level designs and sense of speed still captivate, but less so. Everything else needs work. Broken camera system worsens the experience.
5.0 Lasting Appeal
A smart branching storyline invites gamers to replay the title to unlock new levels, but few players will have the patience to bother.

i personally think all the big-name sites like IGN have bullshit reviews. basically they give the game a bad rap because "0m9 d00d teh grafix teh sux0rz!!1" (sorry for that 'leet sp34k' but i felt i had to) rent the game if anything. if you like it, buy it. or... you could wait for a preplayed copy, or a price drop.

The big name sites are big for good reasons and their reviews are mostly ok, and because there is such a large user base that they will get called out on the miscalls, occasionally they'll re-review a game because of this fact. Why did you need to use the elite speak? I've never seen that on IGN, and from what I have read give a game a score based soley on graphics. Not even this review. Quote:4.5 Gameplay

Isn't gameplay what really counts for all those people who don't care much about graphics. Granted sometimes the reviews can be overzealous towards some games that are good and elevate them to great with their excitement. Renting is ideally the best way to go. But I never rent because I hate going to a place hoping the game is there (especially with new games), I don't like having to toss three or four bucks down everytime I want to try a game and maybe to spend another 50 or so dollars if i want it. http://www.gamerankings.com is a good site if you want reviews.

Because they were popular in the past for giving accurate reviews, and now they're given a game, and a pile of money to review it "properly".
