Really want to rate it higher, but the game sadly shoots itself in the foot hard once you reach Press Factory and only has scattered fun moments beyond that point, with a lot of the bosses being miserably long experiences that'd make Sonic Rush blush.

Sucks because almost everything before that zone was genuinely a ton of fun, designed well and the bosses weren't too obnoxious at that point. Game does control great overall too and Trip is so endearing. Tails' new flight descend alone also gives the game bonus points.

Could've easily had one of the best 2d Sonic games on our hands if it didn't lose it's steam so it's a little disappointing, but maybe I'll warm up to it overtime slightly who knows?
