July 2025
This is a very good game. While the controls don't match the Mega Drive games, they aren't terrible and the graphics are some of the best i have seen in Sonic games.

It is better than ep 1 visually but the same really. I hate how the bosses can only be hit once per opening. Makes the game a bit of a slog. Last sky sanctuary level was very fun, but the first was boring. Stage 1 is forgettable. I recommend for casual fun.

Way better than episode 1, still not the best though. Game play is way better, levels are a little more creative (except for the special stages), and Tails is pretty good in this game. Still not the best game though.

It's an "okay" Sonic game - much better than the Episode I for sure. The musics are disapointing.
