Genuinely the perfect Sonic game for when it game out. Taking the feedback from Sonic Unleased and stripping it back for better and worse.

Great level themes and aesthetics and a well implemented gimmick in the form of the wisps. While some stages can be far too simplistic and blocky for their own good, the creativity and fun from many of them makes up for it. This is also the last time I'll enjoy a Sonic story for a decade!
