Sonic Shuffle
Overview
Sonic Shuffle was a SEGA Dreamcast game released in the Winter of 2000 as SEGA's response to Nintendo's
hit game, Mario Party. (why Mario Party titles were considered good games is beyond me) The story follows
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy as they venture to "Maginaryworld" the world of dreams, where
a fairy named Lumina Flowlight asks for their help in stopping Void, a dark creature who has stolen
all of the PreciousStones. Oh, and Eggman showed up too for some reason. The game was originally titled
Sonic Square and was supposed to have online play, but that was later cut.
Critical Reception
The game was met with poor reviews, due to the many long load screens, and frustrating difficulty.
(However, once you got past all the load screens, the minigames themselves were a lot of fun to play,
and, and the 'mini-events' featured some very nice 2D artwork.)
