He has a scheme to use the seven Chaos Emeralds to empower the Chaos monster, which grows each time it consumes one of these magical emeralds. Robotnik has returned and is eager to begin his plans for world domination by the destruction of Station Square, where he plans to build his twisted utopian vision of Robotnikland. Even though the game originally was developed for the Xbox, the port doesn't support controllers.Ĭontrolling the characters with the keyboard is possible, but definitely not ideal. As with past versions of Sonic, gameplay can be too easy, with accelerators, rockets, and bumpers often directing your character through the levels without much assistance.
You can play in either the full-screen or windowed mode. Gameplay is easy to learn, and glowing lights offer hints if you need them. Knuckles' mountain climbing is especially impressive, as is E's homing laser we wish we could say the same about Big's fishing.
Although each character has the same general movements, each has unique abilities.
