Title
So, this was meant to be the first 3d sonic game huh? It looks like they simply tilted the camera angle of the third game and given the characters 3d models rather than 2d sprites, however that's the least of this games problem so I'll let this slide.

Its biggest problem is how slippery the controls are, sonic running like he's on ice was fine in the previous titles as that added to its gameplay mechanic of balancing out his speed in the platforming stages. Here on the other hand, we need precise platforming to progress through the stages, many of which have gradual inclinations which makes it hard to determine how high he needs to jump in order to land on these platforms. Rescuing the flickies are also a pain as they fly away whenever sonic takes damage, meaning you have to recollect them in order to lead them to the goal ring which makes an already tired fetch quest that much more irritating than progress through.

The graphics are nice which is a given for a sonic game as is the music, however that's about all this had going for it as the core gameplay becomes frustrating and boring after a while.

    The Japanese box art goes hard. It’s a shame it’s wasted on this game.
