The gameplay is undoubtedly fun and rock solid but what I really wanted to talk about, because it will probably end up being very underappreciated, is the art style. I always loved the look of early gamecube game landscapes and this game captures it beautifully. I always had this exact feeling in the snowboarding sections of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, I think there is just something about speeding past these kinds of landscapes that just makes me wanna stop for a moment and look around to appreciate all the work the modelers put into the art that is only meant to be looked at for like 1 second. Great work.
