A 3D Sonic game that somehow kind of worked? And I had a lot of fun with it? This should be impossible! Sonic Robo Blast 2 feels like what 3D Sonic's first step into 3D should of been instead of flopping around with ideas that never truly worked out. It feels and plays like a good classic Sonic game despite it being in 3D, an accomplishment that Sega has yet to achieve.

Some of the bosses and levels are very difficult and frustrating. I remember one part of Arid Canyon Zone Act 1 where I couldn't figure out how to progress the level and I ended up going a different path that made me repeat progress I already completed. At the very least, it feels great once you complete a ridiculously hard boss like Castle Eggman Act 3.

I haven't played as the other characters yet, but Sonic feels very slippery. Even though this does create momentum and speed, it makes platforming very difficult.

Even though so much of it was aggravating, I still loved it, and I have yet to try any of the custom levels or characters. This game is only for the skilldest of gamers like me.
