The best classic sonic game ever which is my favorite.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is so fun for these reasons. First in this game, it’s the introduction of the most people’s favourite character: Metal Sonic and also Amy! Second, it’s the only sonic game that has another spin dash (press up and jump) and the regular one (but you have to wait until its charge to release). Third, there is time warp (present, past, bad future, good future) which makes the act different. The Badnicks are also affected by time warp. The special stage are awesome and are in 3D (they are quite hard because you have a limited time to destroy UFOs. Fourth, the bosses, are fun especially the one with Metal Sonic. Fifth, there is moving trampolines, pinball things and moving conveyors. The only thing is there only 1 single bottomless pit in this game (but it’s easy to fall there!) And sixth, there is time attack mode if you like to do Speed Runs
Graphics: The graphics are so colourful. In each different time periods, the graphics change and they are related to the environment (example: past, you'll have mostly trees in background, but in the bad future you'll have a polluted environment and more.) The 3D graphics in the special stage are nice for the time it was made.
Sound:
The sound is really good. Like the graphics, each time period has a unique music which is related to the time period. Some sounds effects are slightly changed (like the jump sound). You can even make a CD with the soundtrack.
Value:
Today this game is really cheap. Also each time you play it might be different because sometimes you’ll decide to play mixed time periods, play only bad future or play only past.
Overall:
It’s really a good game for Sonic fans out there. Maybe the best of all! Nice soundtrack, nice graphics, and an amazing gameplay.
