In 1991 Sega released Sonic the Hedgehog for the Genesis, which destroyed Nintendo for a while. It had two ports, one for the Game Gear and one for the Master System. I am reviewing the Master System version today, so keep reading to find out more about this game.
GAMEPLAY B+: Sadly the gameplay is not a good as the original, but its still fun. Time will go by as you collect rings, smash robots, and hunt for chaos emeralds. That's right, you have to look for the chaos emeralds making your job a lot harder. However it does not require to much effort to find them.
GRAPHICS B: Although they could use a little more detail the graphics still capture the spirit of the original fairly well. The backgrounds could definitely use some work. Some of them have only 2 colors in them. :O
SOUND B: Like the graphics, the sound could use a little bit of work too. The songs in the game are very simple but they got me back into humming them so they are really catchy.
ADDICTIVENESS C-: I would not play this game for very long, it does not have the exciting action packed gameplay as the original. I beat the game and never touched it again.
DEPTH A-: For an 8-bit game, there is a lot in one cartridge. There are 6 zones with 3 acts in each of them. The zones seem to have a certain theme for every 2 of them. For instance, green hill zone and bridge zone have similar themes.
DIFFICULTY MEDIUM EASY: This game is a little harder than the Game Gear port but not as hard as the original.
OVERALL RATING B
The game is not bad, I recommend the original but if you had a Master System back in the day and not a Genesis. Then this would be an excellent choice.
FUTURE REVIEWS:
Sonic 2 Game Gear and Master System.
Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog.
