This game's pretty solid overall. About on par with Sonic 2 for me. The graphics are pretty charming, the characters are fun to play as, the level themes are varied and unique, and the actual level design was really good.

My main issues come in three forms.

1. The OST was fairly unmemorable. Maybe it will warm up on me as time goes on, but I personally think it's slightly worse than Sonic 4's OST.

2. The special stages are fairly boring in both visuals and Gameplay.

3. The bosses REALLY Drag on for way too long. The worst offenders being the battles against Fang, and the true final boss.

Overall, it's a generally pretty good game. Though I'd recommend getting it when it goes on sale if you don't think it's worth 60$
