"A good game that just didn't get the respect it diserves"

Sonic Shuffle,when you say this to someone they'll probably say ''What?'' But say it to me and I'll say ''Where?'' okay that was lame,but the point is,I like this game,okay? And i've read some of the reviews here and let me tell you...some people just don't know a good game when they play it!

Graphics:7/10
Graphics are okay,nothing spectacular,I think the Sega Saturn could have pulled these graphics off okay,but still,this is fine,graphics don't make a game! (Is it just me..or does Sonic look like one of those animated guys from the gorillaz?)

Sound/Music:7/10
Again a 7,why? Because of the music,the sound is just like any other Sonic game,with the traditional metallic ringing noise when you pick up a ring,the music isn't that great,however,I've heard worse,but it's NOT gonna win a best music award. There are several ODD BGMs,such as the one that is played during the Psychic Sonic mini-game. Oh well...

Control:9/10
Control in this game is NO PROBLEM! Moving around the board is easy,push LEFT to go LEFT. Push UP to go UP. And so on. During certain minigames,it can be a LITTLE more tricky,it depends,but otherwise,it's quite simple to learn and master,takes five minutes tops.

Plot:3/10
Plot is flawed...Sonic,Tails,Knuckles and Amy fall in a hole and appear in some place called ''Maginary World'' Where a magical pixie guardian of the legendary ''precioustone'' begs for their help,the evil villain Void is destroying everyone's hopes and dreams,which make up all of maginary world,thus Sonic,Tails,Knuckles and Amy decide to help...excuse me while I laugh,ha ha ha. Btw,this is the only real MAJOR issue with this game,for shame,Sega! You can do better than this!

Difficulty:8/10
This game is NOT EASY! If you expect an easy game out of this,than,MAN are you in for a suprise. Even when the CPU difficulty is set to ''easy'' it can be frustrating,and ''hard'' is outta this world! Expect to be playing this game for a long time if your really devoted.

Replayability:6/10
There are a few secrets,some can be time consuming to get,but none that hard,if your a die-hard fan of this game,then I guess you can bump it up to a 7,but otherwise 6.

Secrets/Extras/Bonuses:5/10
There are only a FEW secrets,as I mentioned above,4 hidden characters and some hidden artwork (I will not tell how to find these,look it up in a FAQ) This is not the kinda game you beat many times to unlock stuff (I.E. The Bouncer,or Super Smash Bros.)

Fun Factor:9/10
This game is fun,I gotta say,if you like Mario Party,this is the game for you! Bring 3 friends along,and you got one of the BEST party games...EVER!

Well that about sums it up! Here's a recap.

Graphics:7/10
Sound/Music:7/10
Control:9/10
Plot:3/10
Difficulty:8/10
Replayablity:6/10
Secrets:5/10
Fun:9/10

Well that's all,DELTA OUT!
