Is "Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyrics" a bad game?

I heard that “SB: ROR” is a bad game, it it?

Is "Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyrics" a bad game?

Personally, I think yes, from a technical standpoint. Ignoring the story of Sonic Boom (which I don't know a lot about anyway but I believe it tied in to a TV series under the same name by CN), technically it's a bit of a mess, though I think a lot of these issues could've been avoided by releasing Sonic Boom on the Xbox 360/PS3 instead of the Wii U. Sonic Boom runs using Cryengine, which wasn't supported for the Wii U and the decision was made to have Sonic Boom be a Wii U exclusive being quite far into development, with the result being that there are quite a few areas that can cause a large amount of lag.

Sonic Boom also suffers from several glitches and exploits, most famously one where you could jump as Knuckles, pause mid jump, unpause and then be able to jump again when normally you shouldn't be able to. You can use this to skip most of the game (speedruns have managed to beat the game in a little over half an hour)

You'll have to get someone else's opinion regarding the story, but I can't imagine it's too good on that part either.

By the way, the main Sonic topic is located here in case you're wondering.
