A visually stunning game the resurrects the old joy in all sonic games. Though a veteran player will breeze through.
The same cliche storyline, patched up with two characters (though they are essentially the same). A few minor tweaks but the same core gameplay mechanics. With a unique blend between 2D and 3D that makes this a visually stunning game that resurrects all the old joys in sonic games.
Some very frustrating enemy placement as well as over coordinated levels. Where one could simply blaze through the entire thing without really enjoying the levels. Witch are beautiful environments with a diversity ranging from many alluring places.
Gameplay - 9
Keeping the old formula and tweeking it to perfection. Does it stand the test of time? Yes, and well.
Graphics - 9
Far from a technical leap from the Genesis days, but they add a lot of twists and turns as well as some great environments.
Sound - 8
Same memorable sound effects with some techno based songs.
Overall - 8.5
Overall it provides a glimpse of the amazing series sonic once was, and takes you through a unfortunately to easy game that could of been a lot more. Dont get me wrong, it maintains more than any sonic game has done in this generation and its an easy recommendation.
