Love the unique return to sonic's roots, but a little confusing and a bit too hard...

I loved this game from the first time I played it. I especially like how the old style of Sonic game play has returned, doing nothing but running! But with a great twist: he can go from one screen to the other! The running from screen to screen is what made me want to play it in the first place; but if you're going too fast, it can get confusing as to which screen he is on, which adds another fun element, you asking yourself (if only for a split second) where the heck am I? I also love the writing, it's creative, and introduces a new character, Blaze the Cat, who is way better than Big in seventeen different ways. While Blaze id dealing whith the real eggman, Sonic is stuck with Eggman Nega, an Eggman from Blaze's alternate universe. But the difficulty is what I don't like about the game, along with the confusion I mentioned earlier. The bosses are easy until the last one, that's hard, but easy to get a hang of, but the really hard part, is the special stages, I have all the chaos emeralds but one, it took me hours just to get the 6th, and the 7th, I don't even get close to that. Even though the difficulty and the confusion gets me mad at this game, it's still fun, and can get your mind off things you worry about, so this game gets a 9 out of 10.
