In my short review of Sonic Robo Blast 2, I mentioned how I didn't really enjoy Sonic that much and how that game was the most fun I had with anything Sonic related.

That has now changed. I played Adventure 2 and enjoyed it decently enough but this game? I had a blast. Not perfect by any means but this has so much of what I want from a platformer. My only big complaints are that the conditions for ranks are kind of stupid (being point-based rather than time-based) and that the wisps, whilst offering more opportunities for replayability, exploration and speed, don't compliment Sonic's movement abilities very well.

But, to Sonic fans: I am sorry. This game is really good. "Sonic was never good" my ass.
