The grabbing mechanic for attacking and traversal in this is a minor stroke of game design genius, and the first few levels do a really good job of training you in on it. Nothing ever gets too hard, per se, but unfortunately the quality of the levels does fall off rather precipitously towards the end and then the finale is kind of abrupt and unceremonious, leaving the whole thing feeling short and lacking in any kind of proper escalation. Nevertheless, this has to be one of the best-looking and sounding games on the Genesis.

Well worth playing for the graphics, music, and peerless Sega/Sonic Team vibes alone, but the action, while not particularly challenging, is cool as well.
