Translating the fast-paced platforming of the classic Sonic games to 3D was bound to be a daunting task. They gave an effort with this isometric style adventure, and unfortunately missed the mark. It's just so slow! You have to roam around open stages to hunt down enemies that are hiding the flickies that you need to progress, and all of Sonic's trademark speed is wasted. The one saving grace of the game is the soundtrack (both on Genesis and Saturn). Otherwise, it's just not that interesting.
