I have over 5000 hours on this game on xbox. I know every glitch, bug, and secret pathway in this game. And I will say, it is one of my favorite games of all time. The graphics are awesome, the gameplay is seamless, and the story is straight as the kids would say, bussin. If your trying to get into sonic games try this one out. As it is the besty best of them all in my opinion.

Very fun game. Every level has something unique going on and new mechanics to handle. As my first game in the series it was unexpectedly hard in some moments which made it frustrating at times

Mania, also known as manic syndrome, is a psychiatric behavioral syndrome defined as a state of abnormally elevated arousal, affect, and energy level. During a manic episode, an individual will experience rapidly changing emotions and moods, highly influenced by surrounding stimuli.

This game doesn't just pay tribute to classic Sonic games, it surpasses them and IMO is the greatest Sonic game ever. The classic zones are superbly done with a unique take and the new original zones in this game are so good. Whether you are a lifelong series fan or Sonic was a distant childhood memory, I highly recommend playing this.
