Classic Sonic levels are fun enough despite failing to properly emulate the physics and responsiveness of the classic Sonic games. The challenge involved in the modern Sonic levels, however, mostly seems to be derived from struggling with the sloppy control, often hostile camera placement, and figuring out at what vague point in the future the button commands you're being told to enter should be entered, because it sure as hell ain't while you're being prompted for them. Of course, that's mostly what I hate about basically all 3D platformers so I can't count it against this specific instance too badly.
Overall, the game is roughly par for the course as far as anniversary-celebrating fanservice games of longstanding franchises go. It nowhere near possesses the amount of loving attention to detail of Dissidia, but it's far above the laziness involved in just sticking Super Mario All-Stars on a Wii disc and selling it for the cost of a new game.
