"A great party game!"

Sonic Shuffle for the Sega Dreamcast is one of the great multiplayer games for the system! I don't know what Sega was thinking when they made this game, but they was on the right track. Sonic Shuffle is a board based game, that uses cards for movement. Boring you might think, but this game is great! There are plenty of Mini-Games, Mini-Events, bosses, and battles to keep you playing for hours. Sadly, Sonic Shuffle is at it's full potential when you're playing with 3 friends. The one player mode is nice, but gets a bit repetitive. There are nice levels, but the game is very fun when your playing on 4 player mode. The Cel-Shaded graphics nicely suits Sonic Shuffle and the character's look nice. Character's have their own special moves and abilities, with unlockable characters. The game is very funny and exciting! You'll have fun collecting rings and unlocking things in the game. And the game is easy to learn. The Mini Games are BRILLIANT! There are some Mini-Games that put one player against three, or two on two, or the ol' fashion free for all. But the game can be fustrating at times! If you play the game on one player mode, and put the computer players on EASY Difficult, the computer will still be hard to beat! The game superior AI will crush you. I don't even want to think about playing the game on hard mode. The computer AI mysteriously knows what cards in your hands and steals them, but you can reshuffle your cards though. A Great Multiplayer Game!
Sonic Shuffle recieves a 8/10

Graphics: 9/10
A respectful 9 out of 10 too. The Cel-Shaded graphics is a nice touch to the Sonic franchise. The characters Cel-Shaded designs looks nice. The graphics are solid, so you won't see many(graphical) bugs in the game! Sonic meets Jet-Grind Radio!

Controls: 10/10
The controls this game is as easy as cutting cake. The Mini-Games explains how the buttons work during that mini-game. There's also a tutorial so you can learn the control movements and buttons, for battles etc. No problem whether you have big hands or little hands, you'll love the controls to this great game.

Gameplay: 10/10
The gameplay is very nice. Not too slow, not too fast, just right. All the characters have there trademark moves, and there's nothing different that wasn't in Sonic Adventures. The smooth gameplay will keep you playing for hours, and you can actually speed or slow the computer players. Nice

Fun Factor: 8/10
The characters looks, sounds, and act like thierselves. The unlockable characters are nice also. I won't tell you the unlockable characters, find out for yourself. The game difficulty will fustrate the heck out of you, no matter what difficult it's on! And the superior AI computer character will steal the right card almost everytime! Other than that the game has plenty of unlockable areas, and things to buy. It'll keep you playing with your friends and family until you bust a gut from laughing! All ages, and I ain' t joking, this game will make anyone laugh in a positive way. Many great mini-games on this GAME!
