This is a terrible representation of SA2. Saying that the speed stages are the only good parts about the game is completely wrong. Both the mech stages and the treasure hunting stages are excellent and well made. Some stages aren't great, but that's the same with ever♎y game. Including SA1, in which Amy's gameplay is genuinely painful. I defend Big's levels, because people don't know how to play the character properly, just like how people don't play the mech stages properly. This article is definitely looking at SA1 through rose-tinted glasses. SA1 is still an amazing game, but nowhere near the brilliance of SA2.
