Pretty much a huge improvement over the original game. Unfortunately its backtracking is way worse than the original game so I can't give it a perfect score. Its still an overall great experience for 95% of the game

I can beat the shit out of Cops its a 10/10 game

Everything I could ever want in any Sonic game

The level design is really rough and not focused at all but it has still nuggets of fun design and everything else is like perfectly done especially the music and aesthetic

The framerate is dire and the collecting moon medals stuff is really bad but the other stuff works alot for me.

Also werehog is goated

Perfectly fine platformer, but its honestly too slow for a boost game and the level design is too blocky. It does have really good presentation and level themes also the wisp power ups are really fun to use

THE FINAL BOSS SUCKS MASSIVE SHIT

The game is pretty good otherwise though

People who think this game is bad are actually really bad at the game and refuse to engage with it outside of "wow i have to slow down :(((("

This game kinda shits the bed during metropolis zone and Death egg zone is like a huge wall for newer/inexperienced players and it comes out of nowhere. Game still really strong and its an improvement over 1

I think some levels and setpieces go on too long but other than that its the 2nd best sonic game(Mania the first) & knuckles

TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG TOO BLACK TOO STRONG

Music isn't as good as the first and there's weird boat sections that are kinda hit and miss but the gameplay is overall improved

Also the boss theme is the best boss theme in the series don't argue with me

What if we made genesis style Sonic again with worse level design and enemy placement. Special stages aren't great either

playing as amy is raw though

Bottomless pits aside,this is the baby of the boost format and its raw as fuck

music is also really good

Lets take the bad aspects of advance 1 and 2 and make something way worse.

Music is king shit though
