Sonic Generations - S Ranks & No Skills - Part 008: City Escape

Time for City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2. Firstly I'll address the music. It's terrible. No remix would touch the original, but this starts grating around a minute in. The stage itself is decent enough. There's small 2D grinding sections that work and the Skateboarding is a thing, I guess. The vertical climb with scaffolding was a nice alternative to a chase.
Act 2 plays it straighter and delivers better as a result. The swing bars work better than the original because there's a gauge for a visual cue of when to jump. The early segment is why you want to use skills, more boost would have taken me on an alternate route. The end section is kind of drawn out a bit compared to the original, but at least it utilises the Modern side stepping mentality. Balloons are another addition that you'll see more in later levels The music isn't terrible either, it's a decent enough remix.
Rouge the Bat is rescued for beating both acts.
