I think It would be a good idea to have a sector that changes the camera angle via script in that area.

Well, the correct solution is to simply not have sections where the player needs to know what's in front of him in situations like that. Anyone who's played Crash Bandicoot back on the PS1 probably remembers the issues that it occasionally had with backwards movement, but was otherwise just fine.

That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm not going to put a flood of enemys in a section where you have little or no time to react.
The Crash Bandicoot camera was great. Since the levels in the original trilogy tended to be very linear, a fixed camera worked very well for it--and as you said, the less important it was to see what was ahead, the more restrictive the camera was. If we could get that in this mod, it would be really good...but it'll be hard to do it properly.

Level design looks decent. Some of the shots look like they need some texture alignment, but I think it'd be overall enjoyable.
It's funny. I make a camera like this and I get complaints, then you come out with the same thing and get praise. =|

What could this be?
How about Pirate Ocean Zone?

Hmm... how about Booty Basin (or Base) Zone?

I don't really like the wall textures that are used in here. Put more variation for it, especially in the areas shown in the first two screenshots.
I can hardly comment on the level design itself, though, as 2D mode's camera doesn't let you see anything.
I don't really think it's a good idea to mix 2D and 3D gameplay (I'd just stick with 3D).

It's a "POIRUT SHIP"!!
...no?
Oh well. As far as the mod is concerned, I don't really know what to express my opinion on seeing as I have no knowledge of Sonic Extreme, but I will say that the screenshot in the city boasts some pretty cool texture use...can't really complain about a lack of variation considering that a city generally has a uniform look. Mixing 2D and 3D can be a good idea if it's done correctly, usually involving smart enemy placement, like everyone is saying about the screenshot of Sonic running toward the camera.
The textures could use some variation in the Jade Gully screens, but mostly on the walls. Maybe you could have lighter colored walls towards the tops and darker colors near the bottoms...if that could be done. All in all, I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

It's the engineering section of a Star Trek ship. This map will be a ctf stage but will use the normal camera system.
