Played this again with a controller that isn't broken, and I really enjoyed it this time around. It's got some frustrating moments (and I'd go so far as to say that only about a third of the game is anything other than "passable"), but it's genuinely fun, and I enjoyed coming back to it. Peak early 2000's music, too.

Also Knuckles is a huge nerd who sings to himself when alone.

It has it's moments, but overall, it's a frustrating, dated experience. I enjoyed it as a kid, but I probably won't be coming back to it.
