Sonic After the Sequel is a Fan-made Sonic Game by Lake Feperd  and friends and is a Sequel to "Sonic Before the Sequel" and Sonic 2. When I saw the page on Sonic Retro, I thought it said Sonic After the Sequel was a sequel to Sonic Before the sequel, so being placed before Sonic 2 still. Apparently this is not the case and I feel really dumb for thinking that.  It was released on June 15, 2013, after many months of waiting. Well, I'm terrible at making introductions, so lets just get to checking this out.

Graphics- 7/10 SAtS has a gorgeous appearance for a Fan-game. Sonic and Tails (and Mighty) have new sprites and animations, Badniks are completely new and different (except one badnik  looks like the Rhinos from Sonic 3 with bumpers put on its front and back...),  and I just love the settings from a hi-tech city to a underground cavern filled with Lava.

Sound- 10/10 I think Feperd and his friends made the soundtrack a top priority, and I love it. I'd probably put it up to being one of my favorite Sonic Soundtracks next to Sonic Colors and Sonic CD. Sonic After the Sequel's Soundtrack has tons of Techno, Disco, Rock, and more (It also has a  bit of Dubstep, I think...). It also has a few remixes of past Sonic games, even '06 gets some love. While I haven't heard Sonic Before the Sequel's soundtrack (Except a use of the Rotatatron boss from Sonic Colors), It must be great being written by the same guys. Now that I have, the cut scene music sound like it was taken out of a SNES game, and some tracks are just put in like it is (hidden palace, the Rotatatron boss, the sonic 3D Blast special stage (genesis version), and others). The other part of the soundtrack are still pretty good.

Addictiveness- 5/10 After I finished the game, I didn't really want to replay it again, just get the official soundtrack... Well, that's just me.There are two modes: Story mode( guaranteed Good ending; no special stages) and Classic mode( need 7 chaos emeralds to get good ending), so if you finish one you can do the other, there are special act rings for different Zones hidden in the levels which unlock bonus levels, and you can play as Tails. Other than that, there isn't too much to do after you beat the game.

Story I don't think there is that much story in this game (just like the classic games), just defeat Eggman.

Difficulty- 4/10 In my opinion, the stages aren't hard, just some special stages (I'm lookin' at you, special stage 4). The special stages are kind of a 2-D version of the Sonic Heroes Special Stages; you gotta catch the chaos emerald before it gets to the end of the stage. But you have to hit the red springs that boost you and not hit the green bumpers. It's just really hard to dodge the green blobs going so fast, so you slow down, and you won't catch the emerald. It Special stage 4's case, If you don't keep the emerald on screen, you're gonna FAIL. While you don't need the Chaos Emeralds because of Story mode, where you automatically get the good ending, its just if you don't you can't be super sonic in the stages, not like you need it, because the Stages are really easy; there aren't any bottomless pits, there is a bunch of rings everywhere, the stages are not very long, and if you get a game over, you start at the beginning of the stage with 3 lives. The game is easy, but I wouldn't say it's as easy as Sonic CD.

Overall Sonic After the Sequel is an improvement over Sonic Before the Sequel. The level design is much better, looks more appealing, but is easier. If you liked Sonic Before the Sequel, classic sonic games, or how Sonic Heroes looked, play this game, And keep an eye out for Sonic Chrono Adventure!

Not so bad for a review. You could go into more detail just for future reference. Also you might want to study up on the game more. For example, it really lacked in the story category. Sonic before the sequel in fact has a story. You just need to find it. It isn't a bad review overall though. Keep it up.

Good review. You had a pretty good amount of detail for reviewing a hack. Keep on  reviewing!

Not bad for starters, or for experts, but I HAVE to disagree with some of the aspects of the game, you don't have anything negative to say about the graphics and gave it a 7 rather than a 9 or 10 because well, It's very awesome and the backgrounds are very busy (almost too busy), just look at Cyan City's background. Oh, and if you were going to download an OST then better check it out on youtube!!!

Quite an all right review you got there, but to be picky, there's just one thing that bothered me.

"not after Sonic 2, but after Sonic Before the Sequel"

This is actually incorrect. Sonic Before The Sequel was dubbed that because it was a fan game explaining what happened before Sonic 2, and Sonic After The Sequel does the same, but as the name implies, it is after Sonic 2, bridging the gap between Sonic 2 and 3.

Other than that, it was a pretty all right review.

Not bad review about the facts of Sonic that not many people know about. Getting a detailed review on a hacked version of a game is pretty good. Well done! Keep it up.
