KEY POINTS:
Pros: Sonic's pastel-coloured world looks vibrant and lively.
Cons: The camera swings wildly around you, the game play is patchy, there are long load times and the graphics are generally bland.
Verdict: An abortive move to re-invent a much-loved classic for the high-definition era. I'd rather have the old 16-bit version.
