A classic game, and i have a soft spot for it from being one of my childhood games, unfortunately, this game did NOT age well.

Its not that surprising, this was Sonic's introduction to the 3D era, the camera is AWFUL and the physics can be janky at times, specially noticeable with certain characters.

Sonic is probably the most fun to play out of the roster.

Tails was lazy, he basically just reuses shorter versions of Sonic's levels and due to his power, he breaks them.

Knuckles is fine, a simple treasure hunt mechanic.

Amy is SLOW, this is easily her most noticeable problem, getting speed on her can be inconsistent.

Gamma, pretty straight forward and has the best story out of the characters.

Big... freaking Big... his fishing game is TERRIBLE, theres no defending this, the camera doesnt help, his mechanics arent properly explained, and its overall a massive turn-off compared to the rest of the game, hes also even slower than Amy, making traversal a hassle, by FAR the worst part of the game.

Story wise, it was fine, pretty good at times, but yeah, a product of its time, its not particularly complex and the VA isnt the greatest, doesnt help that the game has a tendency of putting loud music alongside cutscenes which can seriously muffle conversations between characters.

Eggman's model is awful as well btw, SA2 definitely fixed that.

Still, despite all these issues, the game can still be enjoyable, would i recommend it? hard to say, like i said, the game didnt age well, if you wanna play it, you gotta be prepared to deal with some of this jank, but you can still have some fun with it.

Hopefully this alongside SA2 will get a remake one day.

I give it a 6/10
