Shattered Crystal, not what I was expecting...

Well, sure it's a fun game and all, but it has it's flaws. For one, the gameplay consist of findig your way through 8 maze-like levels, chasing down an robotic excavation worm, the occasional Sonic Rivals race, and a battle against Lyric. Now here's what kills the game: In laymen's terms, Eggman was only mentioned in one cutscene, Metal Sonic is an Giant Space Flea from Nowhere and any other possible mention of the duo was promptly cut from the game. I spent an large chunk of my time reassembling the Shattered Crystal, hoping that it'll be plot-relavant: Lyric will eventually steal it, therefore triggering an hidden boss fight. And what do I get from it? An figurine for completing an relic of ultimate power instead of fueling an potential hidden boss. The 8 levels are nearly identical in terms of gameplay mechanics, offering nothing new once you've unlocked all of the playable characters.

But hey, unlike Rise of Lyric, this game is glitch-free!
