Actually I took Dazz's advice and broke out my old Genesis and started playing the old games again.
Sonic never really was that fast, and in fact if you let yourself go too fast you'd often fall right into a trap and die. No, Sonic is actually just a simple platformer with counter-intuative pieces placed sporadically. It had a little element of puzzle to it, it had you using inertia at key points, but at no point in this game does he ever get that long stretch of 'I'm going to run through the whole bleeding game now.'
Bizzare, still kicks the pants out of everything Sonic 3D of course.
