You know? The first time I watched the trailer for this game, I thought it looked really good! However, it only took me watching the trailer more than once to notice this game looked mid as all hell.

Turns out I was right after all, and everything about this game is not only worse than Mania...But reminds me HEAVILY to Sonic 1 and Sonic CD. You know, the two worst fucking classic Sonic games of all time.

- Presentation is bland
- Music is shit
- Bonus minigames suck
- Bosses are bland and some of them take way too long!
- Chaos emerald abilities are pretty useless and pointless
- The co-op aspect feels like an afterthought
- A LOT of these levels are SUPER slow, frustrating and tedious, and feel like the worst levels in Sonic 1 (So most of them)
- The "final boss" against Fang is so unbearably obnoxious and unfair that I didn't even bother finishing this fucking game.

I remember reading somewhere that one of the level designers from Sonic 1 and CD came back as leading designer for this one, and people were talking about that like that was a good thing? That explains why this game sucks so incredibly hard honestly, but I don't know why ANYONE would think that was a good idea in the first place. Nothing against the guy...But please...Don't come back to make another one of these...I'm begging you.

This game sucks and pisses me off. It's embarrassing that this is what we got right after Mania...But it's even more embarrassing to have released this crap on the same month as Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
