alexlincs 2nd Oct 2020		Rated 10/10 I'm a huge fan of Sonic. I think it is largely due to nostalgia. Unfortunately "back in the day" I owned a Master System and Gameboy as my consoles, so I was limited to playing Mega Drive, SNES and NES at my friend's houses. Without a doubt the number 1 platformer for me is Super Mario Bros 3 which pushed the NES to its limit. This is probably my second favourite. You can see the level of the skill put into the game as Sonic Clones from the 90s often play like absolute garbage: Bubsy the Bobcat (slippery and annoying to boot), Awesome Possum (plays too fast, messy backgrounds), Socket (just plain weird game mechanics and unlikeable character). The music is iconic and sticks in your head for days. The sounds for collecting rings or hitting the spikes are as good as anything in Mario. The level design is really good, it plays fast, but you can figure out where everything is after a few playthroughs: where the spikes are, where the hidden boxes are - you can't say the same about Bubsy or Zool which are jumbled messes by comparison. Classic for me. I think Sonic 2 improved the formula with a two player mode, the character Miles "Tails" Power and better graphics. The boss theme tune was also used in the much loved trance track Wizards of Sonic by Red Jerry and Westbam. For anyone looking for more of the same: Sonic Generations (2011) is great as are the Sonic Advance games and the underrated Sonic Pocket Adventures on the Neo Geo Pocket. I've not played Sonic Mania (2017) so can't comment on that one. 6 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



Dr Doom SUBS 23rd Apr 2016		I didn't really take to Sonic either. Too frantic for me though I guess that's why so many liked it.



nboldock 22nd Apr 2016		I personally always thought this was a massively overrated game... puts hard hat on
