First of all, the control is much better here: both the 3d controller and the model 1 controller work very well with the game. The visuals are one of the most noticeable differences. The environments are vibrant and stunning and there's many little things that really impress me: probably the best example is on the second zone Rusty Ruin: the fog and rain effects on this level are brilliant and really create a mood that just isn't present on the Genesis game. The music is another exceptional part of the game, however, as many people also love the Genesis version's music, it really comes down to personal preference here.
The absolute best thing about this game however that makes this version superior is the special stages! They have the same objective as Sonic 2 special stages however things are much improved: everything is in full 3d and looks great! You also aren't purely limited to moving left and right in a half pipe, now there are springs, platforms, and awesome corkscrew tunnels. Even when you've got all the chaos emeralds you'll be finding yourself looking for Tails and Knuckles so you can play these levels some more!
There is one downside to this version which forces me to give 4 stars instead of 5: the loading times! It's especially maddening when you complete a special stage: first you wait for it load a while, then it displays a "loading" screen, and then finally you get back to the game!
If you're a Saturn owner I highly recommend this one. Yes it's unfortunate we never got Sonic X-Treme, but I for one am glad Sega did at least give us this awesome and many times superior port!
The plot is that Sonic must save the Flickies from Dr, Ivo Robotnik, who wants them to find the Chaos Emerald by putting the birds in robots who find the emeralds by......spinning in circles. Anyways, the game has FMV custscenes (while there are only 2 short ones, their still cool to look at) The game is almost a copy and paste port of the Sega Genesis title of the same name. The game is in an isometric view point, and you control Sonic and you wander the levels to destroy the robots and rescue the Flickes inside. The graphics are a MAJOR overhaul, with more vibrant colors, and CD-Quality sound, not to mention the best special stages in the series! But, the load times will conquer your patient. I did a small side by side comparison to the two versions of this game. I completed the first zone (2 levels, 1 boss) of the Genesis version, before I even completed the 2nd level! The load times crush the 5 star rating. But it is worth it, especially if you have lots of time to waste.
