After years of defining high-speed platforming on the Genesis, Sonic finally received a full-scale 3D adventure built to showcase a new generation of console technology. Sonic Team combined \u003cstrong\u003efree-roaming exploration, cinematic storytelling, and spectacular 3D action\u003c\/strong\u003e with the speed and attitude that made the original games legendary.
