What people generally say about this game is definitely true: an entry in a series famous for fast player movement that forces the player to go slow and punishes them for going fast. It’s a really baffling contradiction especially if you’re playing this after having played sonic 2 or 3 and knuckles. Game is also somewhat famous for hitting you with unforeseeable hazards that can only be avoided by proceeding very slowly and carefully. What a strange contradiction. Honestly can’t rec that anyone play this for any reason other than historical significance. Really not a very enjoyable game and pales in comparison to the other classic Sonic games.
