Summary

Sonic travels to the distant shores of Never Lake for the once-a-year appearance of Little Planet - a mysterious world where past, present, and future collide through the power of the Time Stones that lie hidden within it. Sonic arrives only to find the once beautiful world imprisoned beneath a twisted metallic shell. His arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman, has come for the Time Stones and with them, will soon have the power to control time itself! In order to put an end to Dr. Eggman’s nefarious schemes, Sonic must use the power of Little Planet to travel through time; breaking Dr. Eggman’s hold over the future by destroying his machines in the past and recovering the missing Time Stones!

The definition of a good spin-off.

A massive improvement in art direction to the first one! The animations to this game are stellar, and that intro never gets old. The aesthetics are awesome, but unfortunately, I don’t think it improves on all that much else.

The level design and enemy placement is overall less frustrating than the first, but not by a ton. Because while it’s less infuriating, it’s more annoying, as you have so little control of where you’re going. This game js lacks so much depth to its speed and have these artificial feeling springs placed around js to speed you up for the time travel mechanic.

Speaking of the time travel mechanic, it got old fast (no pun intended)

The idea of the time travel is fine, and I like the differing aesthetics based on which you choose. The problem is the level design is so tedious, trying to get 50 rings or trying to find the generators is TIRING. I just didn’t want to do it.

At least metal sonic was really cool, and they stepped it up a bit in the final boss fight. (Not saying much through because Sonic 1’s boss is trash.

Man, this js the worst sonic game i ever played. The graphics are a punch in the eyes, the colors are dirty and ugly, the music of the boss fight is creepy as fuck. I don't recommend it, especially to sonic fans...

its just ok. the music is pretty good, and the idea of Sonic time traveling is still cool, but the level design is pretty ass.
