I grew up with Sonic, Sonic and Knuckles on PC is probably the first game I've ever played. I have alot of memories replaying that mega collection back on the ps2 and I became a real big fan of the character, however, I remember being a kid and playing this game and this was my first time ever being disappointed with the blue hedgehog.
The team mechanic switching between characters sounds great as a concept but in practice makes the game very choppy and it doesn't flow together very well. The level designs are REALLY hit or miss for me, I really like the first three stages of the game, some of the best stages in sonic history for me, then you have stages like bingo highway and casino park which are down right AWFUL in my opinion. The games stages also are just too damn big, even for the ones that I enjoyed.
Playing through the game with multiple teams for the real was a pain in the ass as well, especially for those damn hide and seek chaotix missions, some of which took nearly 25+ minutes to complete.
In short, when the game is good, it's got minor flaws that keep it from being great, when the game is BAD, it's ANNOYINGLY bad
