This game is honestly pretty fun for the first two acts. The last four really drop the ball but I'd be lying if I said this game was devoid of enjoyment. I honestly like a lot of the bosses in this game more than the Genesis version and Labyrinth Zone is slightly less terrible. If it wasn't so held back by hardware limitations, it would probably be on par with the Genesis version, but this one isn't half bad, even though overall it's pretty mediocre and the last few levels are just boring, like they were running out of ideas.
Not half bad overall. About on the same level as the genesis version for me. Doesn't reeeeally play like a Sonic game, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. One of the harder games in the series, and I did end up using save states to get through it cuz tbh I couldn't be bothered messing with the lives system. A fairly good time tho, didn't age THAT badly.
It's... fine...
