I read so much negative press about sonic games lately. This game is not bad, it is great! If you like classic sonic, platform puzzlers, and getting collectables, this game is for you. You can make it as easy or as hard as you want. If you just want to go through the levels, you can do that. If you want to get all the items, it gets harder. I really loved the pace and level sizes/amount of content. It is a great Sonic game for all ages!
