Let's begin this review with the graphics. They are very impressive. That's the only good thing I have to say about this game. The game is colorful and it looks better than most games on the Game Gear. There are this one part where I feel like I might have a seizure though. But that's only when you get invincibility and the screen flashes on and off. I also don't like the cruddy angle. It is worse than the Sonic 3D Blast angle. Other than those problems, the graphics are excellent and are definitely worth your praise.

The sound in this game is nothing special. In fact, I'll say even Somari for the Famicom has more interesting music than this! If you saw my review of that game, then you know how I feel about that music. At least the sound effects are decent. Like the medium pitched "hoo ah" when you get a power up. I somewhat tolerate the high pitched, speedy "traa" when you pick up keys. The only sound I strongly dislike is the high pitched, super fast "twaa" when you pick up rings. I rated the sound low mostly because of the music. The first level's is all "dwaa duh duh duh duh dwaa". But that is my favorite soundtrack in the game. And that's just sad.

This is a game I am never going to play again. I just can't stand this game. In fact,I think 1 is too generous for this game in this department. Even 0.0 is too generous for the addictiveness. If you like this game, I hope I didn't offend you! That pretty much covers the addictiveness, so let's move on to the story.

This game has the worst story of any game I've ever played. That says a whole lot. I mean, Robotnik stealing Sonic's shoes and giving him heavy shoes? That's just a really bad excuse for a story. I think Sega had 5 seconds to come up with a story, and that was the best they could think of. I mean, come on. Even Sonic '06 has a better story than this! In fact, Sonic '06 is the best game ever compared to this one!

This game is pretty small. Only 12 levels outside of the boss fights. If you count the boss fights as levels, there are 16 levels. That might seem ok at first for an older game, but the original Mario has twice as many levels! I guess Nintendo did what Sega couldn't in this case! This game doesn't have much to offer, either, by the way. I would rate this higher if it did, but nope. 

Difficulty in this game is just off the charts. Sure, the first few levels are easy, but once you get to level 2-2, it is hectic. It doesn't help that you can't jump. The controls are broken as well. In fact, the controls are just about as bad as the music, if not worse. It also doesn't help that you have a time limit and the spin dash is almost uncontrollable. I'm sorry, this is just way too difficult. Heck, even Contra for the NES is easier than this!

Overall, this game is just a grape juice stain on the franchise. We might have some good games that help clean it, but still the stain will never fully come out. This game is one of the worst Sonic games ever. 

Pikachu-12 : This is a good review keep it up, but you do need to include some more detail in it. It would be a lot more better if you did that. Other than that I have to respectfully disagree with you as well. I actually quite like this game. It is cool and it does remind me of sonic 3d blast, and that game was really awesome to me.

You did a nice job breaking this down into categories and such, but it did feel like a bit too much of a biased view to me. But reviews are meant to express your opinion, and you did that. Keep on reviewing.

Not a bad review, you broke everything down neatly and explained your point of view on things which is very important and you explained what made the game not so good and your scores reflect that from your reasoning. I think this is a pretty decent review although I think you  could add extra detail to your reviews to make them a bit better, but I think you did a great job of explaining your opinion on the game which is great and I think that is the most important part of the game. Some people say a game is terrible and they don't back it up with reasons or evidence but you did a great job and I think this is a very solid, good review, could be a little longer and more descriptive but otherwise still very good. Keep up the great work and keep making more reviews!

Good review, you expressed you're opinion well, and put in just the right amount of detail.
