The verdict
A beloved Sonic celebration with excellent classic and modern levels, great music and a strong mod scene, but short and a rough old PC port. Skip it if you want a trouble-free setup or long campaign.
Great for
Sonic fans and newcomers who want fast, nostalgic 2D and 3D levels and enjoy modding
Main risk
The aging PC port may refuse to launch or drop your controller, and it's delisted into a bundle.
