Glitchy, but fun. Will remind you of the old NES days. Strangly addictive and creative. Very glitchy, will frustrate you. Menu options appear off screen sometimes, very few customizeable options. Over all with a few patches a very fun FTP!

Fast paced, nostalgic and fun to boot! They got it right this time! I played for a few hours and the time flew by! if you can ignore the somewhat corney CGI cut scene's your gold! The voice acting is corney as always but it has been toned down. Sonic's goofy friends make facetime but thankfully play almost no role in the game what so ever. The music is more what you would have heard back in the 90's from a Sonic game rather than the tear your ears off crud you've heard in more recent titles.

The Classic 2D level's feel like your walking through the old games all over again. They are beautiful and very fast paced! The "new" 3D level's have been worked out finally so its easy to control AND fun at the same time. You'll get motion sickness it moves so fast. At the same time there are very few jerking stops or crashing into walls(but they are still there) and not nearly as many random cliff's to fall off!

Music, visuals, nostalgia and atmpsophere this game has it all. A wonderful game!
