Yeah I just finished it last night.
Brought me right back to the old days of when Sonic actually had something going for it.
What they did right:
Level design is exquisite, multiple routes, awesome sense of speed, some very cinematic moments.
Interesting Levels, they look great and play great as well.
Rehashed levels are better then what I remember them to be, I can't quite describe the feeling I got when I was running through Speed Highway again, they took what was great made it better, more intense and more action.
Variety, so much, almost every level has something new, they keep things fresh, constantly surprises.
Music, they got it right, every level contains remixed music from its original counterparts, I can't stress enough how good it was to hear some old theme music from some of the stages again.
Tight controls and just the right amount of difficultly.
Interesting side quests, they really put in the extra mile on this one, most of the optional side quests are actually pretty interesting and aren't just time trails etc.
I preferred playing as Modern Sonic, since I wasn't really around for his 2D bout.
Everything felt right for Modern and Old School Sonic, in my opinion the Modern Sonic version of the levels are abit easier since you have more freedom of movement more attacks etc.
The old school Sonic levels provide a more "old school" challenge.
What they didn't do so well:
Length of the game, I can't really complain, every level is absolute gold, but the 9 levels which makes 18 when you count Old School game mode and Modern Sonic game mode. Goes so fast and since its so enjoyable, just makes it go past even quicker.
Last boss was a little frustrating, but I found that a common trait among most Sonic games.
PC porting is abit meh, I'm just nitpicking at the moment.
Anyway anyone who was on the fence about this one don't be, it has so much to offer old school fans, Sonic hasn't been this good in a very long time.
