This game was one of my favorites growing up. But now, I cannot say the same. It is still the best Sonic game from that era, definitely is, but those Sonic games kind of suck a lot. I really don't like how clunky the gameplay is overall. I don't think I liked the gameplay even when I was young, I just thought Shadow was cool as heck. But that gameplay is super clunky, and even if it is an improvement over the other Sonic games from this era, that doesn't mean it is good.
