Wish I could play the better 360 version but the saturn one is still pretty good

RAW KINO SWAG

YOU GOT A SECRET BONUS POINT

This game has so many fundamental problems whether it be the hardware issues at the time(framerate/loading times) or just insanely baffling design choices but there's something i appreciate where they made this unique experience based on the idea that a game like this would never sell and was deemed a failure and I respect it immensity cause of that

Kirby with a mech makes it a 10/10 tbh

The core gameplay is a bit too simple and character balance isn't great but that story mode is fantastic and I wish sonic games had a story like this.

Also Emerl is a sweetheart

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

Music is king shit though

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

music is also really good

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

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

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

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

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

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 :(((("

THE FINAL BOSS SUCKS MASSIVE SHIT

The game is pretty good otherwise though
