Sonic Spinball (MD)

[Tute]

Anyone else find this game utterly utterly infuriating?

I have it on the PS3 classics collection thingy and i've just broken a DS3 playing it. I find it an utter stroll to the final level and then the difficulty curve turns from a stroll in the park to trying to pick up a car with your teeth - an exercise in futility and frustration.

Got all the emeralds, then lost four lives in quick succession. DS3 sails across the room and is in five pieces now, it's an import white one as well so when the red mist ascended again, I was pretty gutted.

Sorry for the rant, just needed to vent, and wondered how others feel about this game.

Oh yes. Ever since I had it for the MD. I've got it on PS3 now, and despite having platinumed the collection, I don't think I've seen past level 2 in Sonic Spinball....(ever....)

Last time I played this game was when I was 9 years old and lets just say I got told off from my parents a few times due to getting very stroppy . Even so, I've never completed the game and you can see why .

I could only ever get to level 2 of that game. Utterly mindboggling that game is. Annoying sound effects, too.

The bonus levels as well just make my spine curl. Whereas in the normal levels you can actually move Sonic in mid-flight to stop him going in between the flippers, in the bonus levels you can't move the ball at all.

And it seems like the game completely takes the wee as a result - on the bonus levels I always seem to get the ball to go right in the gap in between the flippers that I can't reach.

Aaargh!
