In addition, the second story gives all the bosses more health, which means more waiting in boring boss fights. The main story's level design is fine, while the second story's level design is laughable with way too many spikes, bottomless pits, and other instant kill obstacles. You'll be listening to a more modern sounding song and then get whiplash when you hear those Genesis drums and snares. The soundtrack feels like every act you enter has a different composer for its songs. The boss fights are so slow and boring that they sometimes take longer to beat than the acts themselves. However, the game has a very big problem with consistency.
The zones are fun to run through for the most part, and I like some of the new powers from the chaos emeralds. I think the models are good, the game is bright and colorful. Sonic Superstars is absolutely not worth its $60 price tag.
