In traditional 90's fashion, you use the arrow keys to move, but the thing is, you use or to jump, and or to spindash. This is a 90's game, so it would make sense that it isn't controller compatible, but what doesn't make sense is the use of the buttons given. I haven't even touched on the controls yet. Imagine all of that happening in the span of a few seconds, and you have this game in a nutshell. You rev up a spindash, and fly directly through the enemy, freeing your feathered friend, but after you free him, he just sort of stands around like an idiot until you walk up to him, meanwhile, you're bouncing off every wall in the entire level because of your ridiculously overpowered spindash, eventually falling into a lava pit, and since any flickies following you will immediately flee and begin standing around again when you're hit, any flickies you've been lucky enough to collect go flying. You try again, this time, when at the top of the hill, you roll- and fall again. When you try to walk up the hill, you make it near the top, jump for the enemy- and since you were on a hill, you go backwards when you jump.

This wouldn't be so bad if you weren't Sonic, y'know, the fastest living creature? I'll try to explain the frustrations of this game as best as possible- you are in an area with an enemy, said enemy is on top of a hill that you are at the bottom of.

The whole concept is that you're exploring isometric maze-like levels, trying to find your little bird friends who have been used to power robots that conveniently stay in one area, w ith only a few actually attacking you. Sonic 3D Blast (or if you live in the UK, Flicky's Island) was never a great game. Yes, it is the only version of the game to have a save feature, and the special stages are watered down versions of what are considered the best in Sonic history, not to mention that the minimum requirements are so low that it can run on virtually any computer, but I came away from this game (or rather, the 6th out of 8 bosses since after the 4th zone, the game gets overly difficult) with an overall feeling of, 'meh'. Unfortunately, just because it's the best, doesn't mean it's necessarily good.
