In addition to the single-player adventure mode, there's a local multiplayer mode that lets up to four players compete in various small-arena battles and games of tag, but this mode is so threadbare that it's unlikely anyone will bother with it for long. You can also compete in a selection of events in a ranking mode to have your score posted on a global leaderboard.
There's no shortage of challenges to complete, even after you've put in the six hours or so to get through the main story, but the gameplay is just too basic and tedious to make this prospect enjoyable. This particular sword should have been left stuck in the stone where it belongs.

Being a Sonic fan for a majority of my life, I’ve played nearly every Sonic game that’s ever existed. As such, I’ve played each game so many times that I’ve even began collecting them as of recently. Doing so, I’ve had the opportunity to play games I haven’t even looked at in several years.
I’ve never been big on the classic Sonic games, or really anything before 1999 when Sonic Adventure for the SEGA Dreamcast was released, so don’t expect to see anything before then in my list. To celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog’s 24th anniversary, here are my top 10 favorite Sonic games of all time.
