Anyone else getting more frustrated than enjoying Sonic Generations?

I can't get past "perfect chaos." I can get three hits in but lose on the "4th" area. then the game makes me replay the 3rd area and it gets annoying.

That isn't the only thing I dislike. I don't like being forced to try stupid goals to get 3 keys to fight bosses. I don't like having to hunt chaos emeralds. I wish it were more like Sonic when it was "fun", when you played levels, then fought bosses, if you got all the chaos emeralds you got a 2nd ending, but it wasn't a requirement, it was just platforming fun.

I won't quit the game, but I'm disappointed that Sega always feels the need to add junk to Sonic that it doesn't need. If Sonic Unleashed didn't have the werehog stages, it would have been better. Even Sonic Colors is better than Generations in some ways.

I'm glad I only paid $10 for Sonic Generations, I can't imagine anyone wanting to play it once you finish it.
