This game oozes style. The amazing spectacle, new mechanics, and creative stages prove this. Unfortunately, this game also oozes Dimps syndrome. The trial and error, forced pacebreakers, and clunky level gimmicks prove this. Although there’s no denying the Hideki Naganuma composed soundtrack is the funkiest soundtrack ever.

I hate to admit it but this is my favorite Sonic game regardless of how messy it is. All three playstyles are fast paced and have so much depth, and the ranking system cements that. Let’s not forget the ridiculous amount of content or the amazing soundtrack or the somewhat decent story or when Sonic goes “OH NO! DON’T TOUCH THAT LEVER!”
