This game got trashed in the reviews when it came out. I actually bought it brand new for $49.99 back in the day because I wanted a mario party game and I didn't own any nintendo consoles.

The computer was cheap, and the 1 player mode wasn't very fun... but once you unlocked the mini game mode in the sonic room (in my case, by downloading a save lol), the game was a total blast for multiplayer. My friends and I would just play nonstop minigames for an hour or two at a time before moving on to another game.

The arbitrary and mean nature of some of the games (sonic cola and sonic cooking come to mind) was actually a draw to us. We were laughing at the game and thinking it was stupid because of its arbitrary and ridiculous nature, but we enjoyed this and it aided our entertainment value nonetheless ;) The graphics were pretty nice, and some of the music was pretty cool. All in all, it certainly wasn't the worst game on DC, and it had a substantial amount of content in it between the mini games, the different boards to play on, the mini events, and the one player story mode with cutscenes (I actually beat the story mode, and it didn't unlock anything).

Just wondering if anyone else ever played it with friends and enjoyed it. It's certainly not talked about much among people who obsess over all sonic games. Too bad it wasn't an online multiplayer title, like it was initially advertised by sega before release.
