This game is awful, but I do kind of wish I could isolate the ideas I liked and integrate them into something decent.

I too feel similarly. I enjoyed it despite it being a complete disasterpiece. I like the Narm Charm in its awful, stupid story and attempts to take itself dead seriously. I actually like the idea of putting Sonic characters in the real world. And the music is genuinely good, as is often the case for this series.
It's awful. I bought it after having watched an "endurance run" on it, and I played it through and beat it twice.

The Definition of So Bad, It's Good
I can go on about how awful this game is. The dialogue is terrible. There's bugs everywhere. Elise is an annoying Damsel Scrappy. Silver...exists. Blaze got wasted. And then they decided to just say "Fuck it. Hit the reset button." This game is, more or less, as bad as everyone claims it to be.
And this is why I bought it. I went into this game fully aware of the loading screens and the overwhelming bouts of Narm. And I sure as hell got my money's worth. This game has this...this special charm to it that I adore. It's rare to find games that are this awful (well, maybe not), but it's so damn cheesy that I found myself laughing my ass off several times.
Personally, I didn't run into many game-breaking glitches. I will admit that I got stuck on the wall playing as Rouge/Knuckles, and I loathed the sprinting segments with Sonic, and I cannot stand driving with Shadow. And everyone is very, very, slow. But other than that, I was able to deal with the controls and mechanics of the game. Even the Goddamn Egyptian Billiard Ball Puzzle was surprisingly easy for me to beat (and no, I did not glitch through the door).
I will admit that I enjoyed Mephiles as a villain, many of Sonic's stages, the music, and Dan Green's voice acting. And compared to the last game Shadow was in, I thoroughly enjoyed the new direction they gave him here. Everything else? It's not good. It's a piece of shit.
And that is exactly why you need to play it.
This is the best worst game I've even played for the PS3. I'm probably gonna get a lotta flak for this, but honestly? Sonic Heroes and the glitches I encounted in that game infuriated me more than this game did. Hell, I don't even give SEGA shit for this game. Everyone in life makes mistakes, or they fuck up here and there. And sure enough, this was a huge fuck-up for SEGA. But I forgive them regardless. Because they learned from their mistakes.
...Oh, wait. Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric exists now. Well, shit.
