Spark the Electric Jester 2

It has it's flaws, cutscene animations are pretty rough and the controls felt a bit overly complicated at first, but if you like 2000s era sonic games, fast paced platforming with cool movement tech and/or parry focused combat mechanics this one DELIVERS. Apparently it's their first 3D game, in some parts it really shows but in terms of controls, responsiveness and level design they absolutely crushed it. A bit short though, first story playthrough took me less than 3 hours. But if you like going for the time trial and high score bonus challenges it's definitely worth it. [spoiler]Also a silly thing is the game's story kinda baited me into thinking that[/spoiler] [spoiler]it's an option to kill or spare certain major enemies. It felt like the game was sorta written to comment on who I did or didn't kill but nope it's all scripted.[/spoiler] [spoiler]If the game had that with multiple endings it would've honestly been amazing and it would've played really well into how short it otherwise is.[/spoiler]

The first was classic sonic and this is dreamcast sonic, both i loved them. Although ♥♥♥♥ that final section of the last stage, if you tried the challenges and the time medal you know the one.

I really enjoyed the first game and was looking forward to playing the second. Unfortunately, the transition to 3D didn't work too well. While I was playing the game, I was wondering how much better it would have been in 2D with all the experience the developer gathered while making the first game. Playing felt somewhat rushed and soulless. The story is forgettable (which is ok) and confusing (which is not ok). Overall, I really cannot recommend this game. Also, it took me only 2 hours to finish the game. Pros: - good sense of speed while traversing through levels - Gameplay is alright for platforming but horrible for fighting Cons: - levels don't transition well from 2D to 3D - fighting enemies is not necessary except for bosses - bosses are boring and interchangeable - music is forgettable; What happened? It was fantastic in the first game? Some tracks were reused. - took me only 2 hours to beat the game; don't feel like ever playing it again (contrary to the first game) - levels are too short; take 2-5 minutes to finish (if longer, then because of many retries at some frustrating platforming sections); bosses take 2 minutes; it just all flies by and is not memorable Overall,…

The music and level design are classic 3D Sonic. It commits a bit too hard to this, though, making the combat and non-speedy moments feel bland. It's shmeh, but when you're running on the twisted tracks and the camera moves, it does feel really cool for moments.

I'm amazed... Really fun. A must-have for Sonic fans. Similar gameplay.
