This is one of the best sonic games ever made, period.

Amazing music, amazing visuals, amazing community, and of course, absolutely stellar gameplay.

The amount of speed you feel, and how Earned it feels, when you're playing well in this game, is genuinely unmatched, it's so full of depth and an absolute blast once you master it.

A 4.5 would be a more fair rating but by god do I also have a lot of memories for this one... nostalgia pushes it to a perfect score.
