Sonic CD is given criticism for its level design though is considered the best game, Sonic the Fighters and Sonic R are criticised as being clunky, and the Game Gear games are all written off as "horrendous" with Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble and Tails' Skypatrol considered "worth more than five minutes of your time" at best. Disappointment is expressed about the removal of the Streets of Rage games from western versions.
