What an absolute return to form. This game was by the fans for the fans of classic sonic. This is effectively the missing link between the Saturn and Dreamcast Era of Sonic.

It plays wonderfully, the music is fantastic and the bosses are pretty great too. My only real issue with this game is certain level design choices, and a weak final encounter for getting all the Chaos Emeralds. That said the playable character variety is top tier in this game.
