I have a really weird and irrational hatred for this game and I'm starting to think it's unironic
Like when I say it's the worst thing humanity has ever made I'm starting to think I'm being dead-ass and it's weird because it isn't THAT bad...
There are SOME positives.... (Now Second) best story in the franchise... great character-work... some levels like City Escape, Metal Harbour, Final Rush and Radical Highway are actually solid and rival the average quality of levels in the first SA game, although none top that game's upper tier levels except MAYBE Final Rush on a good day.
But the bad... Sonic/Shadow style controls way worse than in SA1, Crazy Gadget, Dogshit bosses, cutscenes with walking animation that honestly make me uncomfortable (like what the fuck their limbs are so skinny yet they move too realistically), Crazy Gadget, no hub worlds, worse OST than the first SA, Live and Learn included in that, Crazy Gadget, hunt stages are somehow worse than in SA1, MOTHERFUCKING CRAZY GADGET! THAT LEVEL UNIRONICALLY GIVES ME SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AT JUST THE THOUGHT OF PLAYING IT! I-
sigh
Yeah I think I'm being irrational and over-exaggerative. Probably like.... 3 stars unironically?

I miss the hub worlds of the first game, but the rail grinding is pretty cool. This game's home to some of the most iconic Sonic tracks, in my mind. It's really hard to top Live and Learn and Escape from the City.
Chao Garden sucks in the Dreamcast version and that's a big part of the game's appeal to me so I'd recommend SA2 Battle instead despite its flaws in the porting process.
Every game should have Shadow the Hedgehog in it
oh it's peak... it's just SO peak.....
