I agree that I was worried about the "repeating stages for other goals" comments from reviewers before I picked up the title, but it really isn't like that at all as Caterkiller mentioned. I'm also half way threw the third level, and from what I remember, around level 14 with Sonic. I'll admit that there are some stages that are really ridiculous to get the hang of, and that Sega put some annoying obstacles in the way, but the game is real enjoyable compared to other 3D Sonic games. The mini-games really do feel like they are made by some other development team, and a lot of really misses. The whole multiplayer seems very tacked on at the last minute, and really wish they put more thought into the games and options. Honestly, they put some annoying, half-creative games in there. The power-ups are nice addition and some get you kind of excited, but most really don't do much, then again I'm only on world 3.
I still feel like the controls could have been worked out a lot more. I own excite truck, and really had no problem with controls in the game, actually loved them. The controls do work, and after you do get the feel for them it isn't as bad.. but I really do feel they could have put more thought into. The controls in my opinion really don't flow to well with each other, and easily can make yourself slow down greatly.. Wouldn't be a problem if your speed caught up good, but it really doesn't. I'm slightly disappointed with some of the missions and the game itself, but for being a 3D sonic game, it's definatly pretty good. The average reviews definatly hit it on the spot, and I'm glad I have the game to hold me over till the next big Wii title.. Still wish that they worked on this title a little more though and becuase of this, kind of ruins parts of the game for me. Sometimes I just can't help myself but to ask why the developers would do such a thing here and there, but it is really easy to look passed.
My roommate is iffy about the game, but slightly enjoys it. My one friend who is more into XBox360 hated it and couldn't even stand the controls for a second. My other friend that stopped by last night played it for an hour or two, and said he really enjoyed it and was thinking of buying it when he got himself a Wii. In my opinion, I still think this is a Love-or-Hate game for most people. A lot of people have been looking forward to it, and it beats any new Sonic out of the water, so it's pretty easy to love, but doesn't make it 9-10/10 game.
