Alright, shocking truth coming your way. Big upset, so you'd better sit down. Sitting down? Good.
I enjoyed playing as Silver. Granted, the camera was still a pain, and the overall gameplay was still bad, but finally being able to throw things at enemies and It's No Use (TM) my enemies was great. In Silver's first few levels, I was having a good time. Even the fight with Sonic was easy, and I beat it in less than a minute.
That said, much was bad. Certain levels took over 15:00 to complete. One particular level, Silver's run through the Dusty Desert, has a terribly convoluted puzzle involving a numbered sphere and a over long obstacle course. In a proud moment (at least, for me) I finally did a useful clip in-game. Previously, I clipped through a door just for kicks. This time, I used Silver's powers and a random box to clip him through a door to skip the obnoxious puzzle. It was a glorious moment.
After that, I finally started getting annoyed at the game again. Hits from enemies stops characters completely, Amy Rose played horribly, and Blaze didn't play much better, despite better attacks and mobility.
The last straw was Silver's final boss fight with Iblis. I went through four Game Overs before breaking down and looking for a video online. The game never indicates that a particular attack can be used back on him. Besides that point, the boss fight was easy, if a little boring. And annoying.
And then I started into the Last Episode... More on that later.
