This game is horrible.
It's not even like me bitching about games being old. If you look at my profile it's pretty clear that "old shit" is all I play. It's just that every level is designed horribly and most decisions are super bizarre.
I mean, lord save anybody who tries to go for the emeralds because some of them are in such strange and barely reachable locations. In the 2nd level, you have to jump on clouds, but you can't tell which clouds you can stand on and which clouds are just the background. The 5th level has you jumping through a fake wall that you would have like no idea is there.
And let's not even talk about Scramble Egg. That entire thing is horribly done. You can make levels that are challenging but not unfair. I think Level 3 (Aqua Lake?) is a great step in that direction. I actually had fun playing that level. Same with (most) of Green Hills.
There's also a lot of little things that just suck. One I hated was how bosses are just there when you get to their screen so you can slam into them and die immediately. And of course, them not giving you any rings or any protection for the fight, and making it worse by including challenges before the fight.
I do not believe a single soul that says that there are no bad sonic games. It's just flat out false.
4/10
