I despise classic Sonic's Gameplay

[James McNutty]

Title says it all. I think that the level design for classic Sonic is awful after the Genesis era ends. I also think the Perfect Chaos boss fight is pretty poorly designed.

Not sure about that, I would agree that some of the later ones where pretty bad, the stuff I hated the most was the Sonic Colours levels. I guess everyone has there own tastes.

Oh my goodness the Sonic Colors levels. As with Act 1 having awful level design as per usual, Act 2 starts off pretty well and gives you 9 hours of "ROCKET! ROCKET! PRESS X TO BOOST ON THE PLATFORMS! ROCKET! ROCKET!"

I would of perfered they left the classic levels out I hated the genesis games and any other 2D sonic games

I liked both. I wouldn't have bought a game made up of just 3D sonic, or Classic sonic levels. I thought the best part was seeing what the more modern levels would look and play like in a more 2D style of game.

Probably the only level i hated with classic sonic is planet wisp.

Classic levels, I agree, but Perfect Chaos? That was a great boss!

Hate is a strong word. I like Act 2 much more too, (must be because I never was a fan of the classic games and I loved Sonic Adventure 1+2) but the classic Sonic levels aren't that bad either, with the exception of Planet Wisp...I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HATE IT!!

I didn't like the placement of the platforms, it always messed me up. Crisis City Act 2 did that a few times too.

Funny, Classic Planet Wisp was one of my favorite stages - it was pretty creative, and makes me want to go out and get Sonic Colors! (Modern Planet Wisp? Meh... going straight up just isn't all that exciting a special ability!)
But yeah, Perfect Chaos... ugh! Died on the last segment dozens of times in a row due to misjudging jumps on those floating platforms! They're a lot farther apart than they look...

Best Sonic games were 1, 2 and 3 (including knuckles), everyone who played those on Sega Genesis can approve this.

I hate Crisis City. It is the ONLY level where I have died more than 5 tries during my first run.

I agree. These games are classics.

Crisis City as Classic sonic annoyed me (but I knew what to do at least, even though I died like 5 times like a poster above). The very final boss was my biggest annoyance though (I felt that they should have kept the semi-scripted approach of Perfect Chaos, but instead it's another one of those (potential spoiler) Super Sonic boss levels where you just have to tedious move across the screen without running out of rings).

I think a big problem with both Crisis City and the final boss was a lack of explanation. E.g., Crisis City's giant fire tornado didn't make sense at first, and getting rings seemed impossible on the last level (until you figure out that going slow makes it harder and it's better to just go fast and hope you catch them in the wake than go slow and miss them all without any following you anyway).

It's a good game though, and I think they have a lot of good stuff to build on. They just need to leave the annoying stuff out, which they keep insisting on keeping in the game for some reason, probably what put some people off of the Planet Wisp levels too (strange too, isn't Sonic Colours apparently just as good as generations?)

I never played them on the Genesis, only played the recent PC release, and I can still approve this. :>
