If you're going to speak of games in such a way, might I suggest that you start posting your own reviews instead of voicing negative opinions on other people's reviews? Not to be rude, but an opinion that long may has well be in a seperate topic. I admit that you make some good points, but I also think that you're being a BIT too harsh. It's just a game. Also, if you didn't like it, why didn't you sell it instead of burning it? Not only would you have gotten a portion of your money back, but you also wouldn't have done something to damage the air. Not to sound like an ecology nut or anything, I'm just really tired and am thinking too deeply into things right now. When reviews are posted anywhere else on the internet there is room for comments on said game or review. Like I said your review was well written and your opinion is valued. However I'm not wasting space to write a rival review because there's no point. This is MY opinion of the game, not a knock on yours. And it is just a game, a really awful game that's best trait was smelling good when extra crispy. I'm getting a small feeling that you didn't like seeing a negative view of the game in your positive review followed by all of it's positive responses.. THAT is the world. And I didn't sell it because I was mad for a few reasons and it was the perfect scapegoat, because it was worth nothing at the time in monetary or ANY value (bought it used in the first place) and because me burning the game is not hurting the atmosphere... We can get into a whole global warming discussion another time in another place.. but one game does not an O-Zone break.

If the game's bad, get rid of it in a logical way. Also, I find it rather difficult to take your post seriously when you use the term "extra crispy" to make a point.

I'm not here to be taken seriously, just to get my opinion off my chest, no one has to agree, though I know many do.

I found the game rather enjoyable, at least for a while. It wasn't quite enough to make me keep playing.

I for one loved this game, the game play was actually great from my point of view, the story was...decent...and the actual concept was great in my opinion. BUT...i do not think the game shouldn't been released. Okay, the game was great but i don't get how someone at SEGA didn't think "hey...wait, were giving him guns, wouldn't that attract reviews that are kinda, you know, bad?" Now i think that the guns were a great part of the game, but that's just not something you do. And if your one of the people who don't like guns, you didn't really have to use them. the game would be a whole lot harder, but you could just jump dash. It was a good idea in the long run, but it was bound to get hated on while it was running, and now, some of that hate has been permanent. I loved the game, but i think it should have just not existed.

EDIT: Just seen your sig. Ok, you have no reason at all for hating this game then. Go back to your "Do you Know Shadow" thread so you can quit calling me a hater. I state facts and MY OPINION. I could just as easily say your opinion is 'warped' by your fanism over said main character but I won't stoop that low. I clearly stated that the story presentation was bad, the script was bad, the gameplay was buggy and glitchy.. the last bossfight was underwhelming, the game ruined a good character storyline by keeping a legacy going that should have ended with SA2, and COMPUTERROOM COMPUTERROOM COMPUTERROOM!!! My reason for hating the game, again has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the character outside of his presentation in a sub-mediocre plotline. Be realistic, by that I mean.. try.. TRY HARD.. to accept that there are opinions out there that conflict your own and that it doesn't make me/them opposition, stupid, haters, warped e.t.c. We live in a world where few people agree on similar things and it's something that should be adapted to. Stick by your opinions and beliefs but don't lower yourself to a kindergarten level when your opinions are challenged by others. Be STRONGER THAN THAT.

But I've never experienced a single glitch whatsoever in my 2 completions of this game. (Including Expert Mode). And, going back to the "Do You Know Shadow" thing, you can't say my opinion of this game is warped because this was only the second game I ever played with Shadow in. The first was Heroes and I actually preffered Sonic when playing that game.

I could* just as easily say your opinion is 'warped' by your fanism over said main character but I won't stoop that low.* Look at how I worded that, I said I COULD.. but I didn't (directly). And I suppose it varies from player to player when it comes to glitches, or if you have a high tolerance or bad eye for them, either of which I cant say you do or don't have. Your last comment is completely irrelevant, I'm calling you on how you seem to have issues with conflicting opinions.. at least on subjects like this.

Though to be serious, I didn't like the lingo with "C:" and "IG:" following the graphics score. It's kind of unnecessary. When one criticizes a game for graphics, cutscenes don't get scores. Reason being that they have no apparent playability. Maybe in my sick, twisted and convoluted world anyway.

Don't tell me you haven't heard about the newest Internet fad. Look in the entertainment section or was it Station Square. Anyway back to your review. I'd say it was well organised. Yet I can't put so much love or liking in this title. However I didn't find it as bad Bowie mentioned. Nevertheless I'm not here to take notes from previous comments. I'd say it's about average game out there. Don't love or nor do I hate. Also I couldn't find the replayability worth a 10/10. Yet it's all about opinions am I right. One more thing. The cinematic looked awesome. But it should count towards the actual graphics. Also the few scenes available can't overdue the somewhat bad gameplay graphics.
