I didn't say it beats 06, but it could compete… From what I've seen there really are some really strange bugs, the graphics look a bit better than 06 (and it's 9 years later…… But aside the technical issues, it looks like it's pretending to be a modern day, story-driven R&C-like experience (dialogues, exploring the world instead of level-to-level transition), yet it carries a level design close to the most basic 3D Sonic fangames (these 2D stages are… "wow", in a bad way) and the writing that makes me respect TiT's script. It's not mediocre, it is a bad game.
