Sonic Robo Blast 2

Gameplay from Greenflower Zone, the first stage.
There are some interesting fan-made Sonic games out there, but Sonic Robo Blast 2 is probably one of my new favorites. SRB2 was created using a modified version of the Doom Legacy port of Doom. It's gameplay gives the feel of the Sega Genisis Sonic titles while having 3D gameplay. You can play as eaither Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles and stop Eggman from being bad.

The controls in this game are a little awkward the to
"Nights Mode" AKA the special stage
get used to using, even after multiple tries, but I don't mind that. I enjoy this game for the feel of the old games that I mentioned before. The thing that really made me like this game a lot was the special stages. What I like about them is how the special stages use the engine from a Sega Saturn game called Nights into Dreams, which is a game I liked very much when I was younger. Upon playing a special stage for the first time, and immediately recognizing the Nights engine, it literally made my day. Sonic Robo Blast 2 is probably one of my favorite fan-made Sonic games, and I've played a lot so that's really saying something.
