Of course I don't think there's a lot that can be done here as every button has it's purpose, but the tutorial helps a lot in helping to get used to the game. The only real criticism I could think of was that it took me a bit of time to get used to the controls and even on a 4th playthrough of the levels I still found myself constantly pressing the wrong button. Another great touch from tricking I enjoyed was the tiny bit of verticality you gain from hitting the edge of a platform enough to raise you up after tricking into it, the more I got to trick the more I see the great intricacies into the system and I think it was well worth it. I especially enjoyed many of the mechanics associated with tricks, one of my least favorite things from Advance 2 was how vulnerable you'd be directly after a trick, so it was to my enjoyment to see the bit of invincibility you get after landing. Even without boost I never felt like it was difficult to build up speed, between boosts and tricks it's incredibly easy to keep the game going fast and like any Sonic game should the better you get the faster you can go. The game is fast and revels in the fact that it's fast. Overall here are my thoughts.įirstly the game plays great, at no point was I ever frustrated from things feeling slow or from anything feeling off. Really great demo, From what's seen so far I have a lot of hopes for the final product.
