Sonic: The most overrated game ever?

[Barozi]

eh probably not the most overrated one, but I do agree that it's been overrated a lot.

I can see that the game was probaly pretty good at the time. But now (or already 15 years ago when I first played it) I didn't get any enjoyment out of it.
The aim of the game is to go fast, but the level design prevents that. If you don't know the levels by heart (and that's probably the case with any non Sonic fan) you're going to get hit time and time again. And here comes my next problem. While Sonic is fast while running, he's probably the slowest gaming character after taking a hit or standing still. Really annoying.
Also not being in widescreen is a big problem too, though that could've been solved by shrinking the character (or moving the camera) to get an additional second reaction time.
