So, I got the chance to play Sonic Robo Blast 2 again, but this time on an actual Windows PC. Wow...these guys really put a lot into this game! It's not perfect, but for a volunteer project this blows most other fan-made games out of the water. Not only is it cool to have a free 3D Sonic game (with available level and character mods), but Sonikku and SSNTails captured the feel of the classic Sonic games. The level designs feel more like traditional Sonic than Sonic Adventure or even Heroes did. You have your stereotypical checkerboard/palm tree area and a hilltop-esque zone. Then there are the add-on levels. I didn't play many of them, but one in particular caught my eye - the first level of Super Mario Brothers! It was completely 2D, but included item boxes and even a fireflower that gave Sonic and crew the ability to throw fireballs.
SBR2 ranks high on the nostalgia factor, and any Sonic the Hedgehog fan should give this project a run. Heck, I hope when I grow up I can make stuff like this! Soon...soon...

Indeed we do. The Dancin' Wookie has awakened from his (more or less) slumber, so must the mighty Fuman!
