Would be a perfectly serviceable Sonic game if it weren't for the following issues:
-Movement feels a little off. Basic hopping between platforms and avoiding boss attacks can be tricky because Sonic takes so long to speed up from a stationary position. Jump boosting is great for gaining speed and keeping momentum, but not for precise movement.
-Not a lot of branching paths to explore.
-Ugly shading on many sprites (including Sonic) and some out-of-place 2-frame animations.
-Music that doesn't reach the standard of the series. I swear this game has 3 boss themes and they're all 10-second loops.
Not a terrible experience, just an unpolished, mediocre one. Also, I think I may have spent more time trying to beat the final boss than I did playing the rest of the game, so make of that what you will.
