Always felt like Sonic Rush gets overlooked or is just under appreciated. It finally provided an answer to the ongoing problem with 2D Sonic games, running full speed into enemies or traps that you can't see because the camera's too zoomed in. Now, you can just boost to protect yourself in those scenarios. I guess the bosses do suck and those combat arenas you'd get forced to do only slowed the game down. Sonic and Blaze didn't play much differently between each other, so doing a repeat playthrough as the other doesn't add much.

Other than all that, this was a fun time overall and definitely a highlight in terms of Sonic games. And that ost SLAPS.
