This game is honestly peak 2-D Sonic, and nothing you say will change my mind.

This has to be one of the most frustrating Sonic games I have ever played. From the unfair placement of bottomless pits in almost every level, to the massive difficulty spike in Sky Canyon Zone onwards, to the shitty autoscrolling bosses that just drag the game down even further, I cannot stand this game, and have no desire to return to it ever again.

It also doesn't help that this game has nothing that makes it stand apart from Sonic Advance 1.

It's a fine game. Not as bad as a lot of people say it is, but the frustrating rubber band mechanics, boring as hell level design, and overabundance of levels that stretch out the playtime kind of ruin a good chunk of what could've been a pretty good game.

Chaotix does have a really strong, unique art style and OST that carries the whole game and actually makes me want to return to it at sometime in the future.
