It would be 5 stars, but the fact that some modes can only be played by certain characters is an incredibly stupid design choice. Like, why is Bowser, who can fight in the Imposter Bowser boss battle, NOT included in the Koopathalon or Kaboom Squad games?!? And why can ONLY Mario or Luigi do the Paratroopa minigame? Unless the developers fix this letdown in a later update, they do not deserve the last two stars.

Aside from a couple gimmicky quests and challenges that may prove too frustrating (though probably more of a personal skill cap), this game is an indescribable life experience! GOTY easily

Nothing short of Netflix's modern magnum opus!

Not a perfect game by any means, but it is VERY gripping and rivals FFVII for its depth, worldbuilding, and music score. Was excited to watch the story unfold all the way to the end. Minor spoilers, major warning: DO NOT under any circumstances sell your equipment unless you're ABSOLUTELY sure you do not need it anymore; some items are a find one, keep one only.

Pretty solid, if speedy. I think in the end, the movie just made me feel empty. Like, the visuals and idea are there, maybe a sequel can take the time to iron a few loose ends. One big question a continuation to the story could answer is (SPOILERS!!!) What did Bowser mean when he said he suffered, and did it cause him to take a dark turn?

Probably not GOTY quality (excluding ost), but for a small team pulling off a scale this immense, this game was SOOOO much fun!! Loved the interactions between the characters; makes me hopeful we'll get more of that in the future (looking @ you, Shadow). Hope SEGA will hire more people willing to develop what seems to be a strong new variable to the Sonic formula.
