What We Said Then
Jaz: Even though you'll be cursing with frustration, it's so good you just keep on coming back for more.
Matt: What a brilliant game! The graphics are wonderful and the sound is great.What We Say Now
Jaz: I still play this game now if I want a challenge - it's great. Playability should drop a couple of percent and the overall down to 90%. It's definitely still a Megagame even today.
Rich: This rock 'ard game is still one of the most difficult Megadrive titles around, well suited to those who completed Sonic the first day they had it. I think the audio-visuals are a tad outdated these days. I'd put graphics down to 85% and sound down to 80%. Playability is definitely too high, down to 85% for that. Lastability is fine, but I think overall I'd give this around 88%
