There will be times when you are playing this game that you will HATE it. This is one of the hardest games to come along in a while. But the way it is difficult is clever. You get rewarded for practicing, and by the end, it doesn't seem to be so hard anymore. Graphics for the most part are good, but not great (although there are a few parts that made me go WOW). Control is dead on, but the camera is another story. Unless you count difficulty, the camera is the only problem with the game. It's not so much that it's a bad camera, it's just that it's "lazy". You have to move it most of the time to get a better view of what you're trying to do. 99% of the time, though, you can move it to exactly where you want it. And it doesn't move back unlike Sonic Adventure 2. Definitely the best platformer on GC. Will be one of the best in the system's history, I imagine. 9/10. behind only Eternal Darkness for best game this year.
