Maybe I`m not that much into Sonic games, but even though this one I think captured perfectly the essence and the magic of the original 2D Sonic games, the thing it was hard for me to really enjoy this game.
The colours and the general art design of the characters and all the levels is great and the soundtrack is simply phenomenal, one of the best I`ve listened to recently, the game just feels unbalanced at some points; some levels are short and fun, and some so damn long and boring, throwing a whole load of stuff to kill you that justs comes out as the complete opposite of fun to be honest - looking at you Oil Ocean Zone and Titanic Monarch Zone.
I wish I was more of a Sonic guy, but at the end I was glad i finished the game and don`t really feel like coming back to it - maybe Sonic games are just not for me.
