I don't remember my time with this all that well, and I do really need to give it another shot. However, I can say the passion here really shines through to the final product. Unfortunately I can't really give this one a perfect score because the level design is a smidge too expansive and long for my tastes. For someone who only gets into the classic series in short bursts, putting that gameplay into Heroes-length marathon stages makes it hard to get through this one. I imagine most fans of the series (especially the Mega Drive titles) will have a lot of fun here, but it tends to fall a bit to the side of how I like my Sonic.
