Regardless, the same breathtaking hi-fi production and MIDI style is present.
Some of it is even worthy of Jet Set Radio with its funky guitar and early 1990s rap influences. What must've dated very quickly in the 1990s is somehow totally fresh today – and listening to the game through headphones easily doubles the experience. I like the way you moveīut what of the gameplay? Well, to put it simply, it's what everyone's been wanting from modern Sonic games. The inertia of Sonic 1, 2 and 3 is still present, only somehow the sense of fluidity is even greater.
Something about the way Sonic moves over undulating terrain feels different – perhaps due to the improved frame-rate or the abundance of fancy scrolling effects. It brings back the joy of simply moving as Sonic. When basic movement is a joy, the rest just comes naturally. Not that you'll be doing much running, mind. This is an incredibly claustrophobic game. Sonic rarely ever hits his infinity-feet stride before being pulled up by a wall, spring or bizarre rotating platform.
