The worst thing is that if you lose all lives, you have to start over

Sonic the Hedgehog starts whith a much more difficult stage that, even though i had played other sonic games quite extensively, killed off all my lives and sent me back several cut scenes and long load times to 0% completed

The controls could have been more fine tuned, there are times where you can lose lives unecessarily because you fell from a railing that Sonic is sliding

They are extremely far apart, and it is possible to play an hour without a chance to save only to loose all your lives due to a problem mentioned above and have to replay all that lost time

Lose all your lives?

The music however tends to be pretty awesome, but that's the ONLY positive I really have for this game
