When I heard about this coming out it sounded like a cool idea to me: finally a Sonic game in 3D! But when it actually came out and we rented it I felt pretty let down. The isometric levels felt too same-y and confusing for me to really enjoy much, and I usually only made it a few levels before giving up and going back to Sonic 2
Depth perception does not exist, and this game is incredibly boring and jarring, failing to provide any kind of fun in sticking around in the levels for longer than usual like CD does. The flicky mechanic is genuinely just awful, especially the red flickies that intentionally run and jump away from you, even putting themselves in harms way that way you get hit too. The controls are slippery and the game is just bad.
