“over priced for what it is, where do they get the balls to charge this much? 40% off it's 30$ and that's what it should be, 35$, normally.”

“While the main game is a lot of fun, the fact that you have to play so many side-levels to progress is really annoying. I was hoping to just get a ton of Sonic/Shadow movement based levels, but instead the majority of what I was playing…”
