I love Sonic’s speed stages, but I don’t only want to play this kind of gameplay style. Silver had his psychokinesis to fight against enemies.

- The only good part of Sonic is the first level of a Sonic game, anything after that is usually terrible.
- According to Metacritic, it’s rated almost as badly as Sonic ‘06, to which I have to wonder whether nostalgia has completely clouded my judgement?
