A game thats too annoying that makes it hard. Mohammedroxx3
Well, hello everyone once again! I have been encouraged by some of my friends to keep doing these reviews so I wouldn't ever want to disappoint them. :) So I was once again searching on vizzed for another good sonic hack to play, or at least an interesting one. Then I have found this hack. It's not really the best game to play but it is really interesting. So now, let us get started with this review!Whats so special or interesting about this hack of Sonic the hedgehog?So basically in this hack, you play as Sonic with all of the original levels of Sonic the hedgehog. But Sonic is not alone. He has his little pal, OmoChao with him. OmoChao is usually that little blue guy who is here to help you out and tell you how to play the game right. You guys who have played several Sonic games before would definitely know who I'm talking about. He is the one who has told you how to play Sonic games, but in this hack, he is more of an annoyance. One heck of an annoyance alright, which I will talk about in the gameplay section of my review. Also another thing is that when you start the game, you actually go to a menu of all of the levels so you no longer have to use the level selection cheat, but it's one of those cool type of menus where you are sonic and you run and jump on the button of your choice and jump right in to the ring to start the zone and act you selected. Plus it looks really similar or in fact the same exact thing like another hack of Sonic the hedgehog. That hack was called "Sonic the hedgehog at Sage 2010" I believe. Also it's really cool how the zone is shown by the ground of the area you stand on in the level selection menu. Like green hill zone has it's style of it's ground with the 3 buttons on it to select the act you want to play. The same thing will all other zones in the level selection screen menu. Also in the intro when you start the game, it says "retro channel coming soon". Well, something like that. And actually it had already been completed and implemented in the hack "Sonic the hedgehog at Sage 2010". So I'm guessing this hack was made right before Sonic the hedgehog at sage 2010 from the way this hack looks like compared to it. What's the retro channel?The retro channel is basically this thing that lets you connect the game to an online database of scores so you can compare with others and compete. It's a pretty cool feature alright. Especially since it's for some thing so old which is the sega genesis, but too bad it's not compatible with vizzed. It requires a special emulator and I think it is only compatible with the gems emulator and it requires a certain plugin. Now lets go ahead and start talking more about the game it self! :DGameplay: 6Ehh... Not really the best. Not so good. So now, it is time to explain the main point of this hack. And the main point of this hack is OmoChao and how he annoys Sonic. Typically almost anything or everything that happens would make OmoChao really just want to say something about it. We don't mind if he goes and starts blabbering things that we already know, but he just over does it. What I mean is that if you were to get a ring, he says "You got a ring!" and if you get another ring, he also says, "You got another ring". and then he just keeps going off saying the same thing. He would also blabber something out if you were to break a monitor, get a shield, jump on a spring, get yourself hit, lose your rings, lose a life, get a game over, and a lot more actions. But the main problem here is the way the whole game would pause just for him to say whats obvious. And the worst part is the fact that every time he keeps on doing this, the game would pause even longer and longer. It infinitely keeps getting longer alright. And while the game is paused, you know that sound the plays when ever you get an extra life? That sound just keeps replaying while the game is paused for OmoChao's state the obvious moment. And while that same sound is repeating, that sound get higher pitched and it keeps getting higher to the point that this sound is almost out of sync. Plus it is one heck of a pain for your ears. In fact I don't think it is healthy to hear that sound, it could seriously hurt your ears and give you one heck of a headache from it. And you want to know something? I remember that I once made a game review a few months ago about this other Sonic hack called "OMG the red rings". (from what I remember. hope I'm not mistaken). Anyways in that hack, there is no normal rings and there is only just red rings of death! Once you touch one, you lose a life. And those red rings of death are everywhere. I once declared and thought that this was the hardest Sonic the hedgehog hack ever created in life. Nope, I was definitely wrong there. Actually for now, I got to say that this hack of Sonic the hedgehog is one of the hardest Sonic hacks ever created in life. Well, just for now, who knows what other Sonic hacker would come and create another hack of Sonic the hedgehog that might even be harder than this one. Even though I mentioned that this is a very hard Sonic hack. Still, I can't give it an extremely low rating. You guys might think this, "Hey whats the point of playing a Sonic hack that is so hard if your not going to enjoy it?". Well, an answer to that question is that their are certainly lots of these type of gamers who may seem crazy but they might be considered TRUE retro gamers out there who would play and knock them selves out in the hardest retro games in the world. And they might even manage to master a hard game like this. Yup, and it looks like I made another overkill in typing at the game play section of my review once again. Well, thats all for me to say in this portion of my review, hopefully I manage to go in detail at the rest of my review. :PGraphics: 9Well, I got say, even though you expect me to say that it is the same exact thing like the original Sonic the hedgehog, that is mostly true but there are a few things that are pretty remarkable and amazing for the sega genesis graphics for a hack like this. How about I make this in to a list:1. The title screen. One thing about the title screen is the appearance of OmoChao and how it says right on top of Sonic, "It is a game you can pu-ray!" Indeed they are clever and humorous words. And OmoChao doesn't look so bad there. OmoChao's appearance over there sort of show some good graphics and lots of potential for great graphics from the Sega genesis.2. The level selection screen menu. If you guys have seen my previous review of another Sonic the hedgehog hack called, "Sonic the hedgehog at sage 2010". As I mentioned earlier, this hack has the same menu style just like the hack I previously reviewed. Anyways, whats remarkable about this is that the background and the ground is dark while having some grayish whitish lines on it like dark graph paper. I'm not sure how to describe it but it does show that the sega genesis has a little bit of potential for better graphics in other games. 3. OmoChao's appearance with Sonic while playing in a zone. I expected OmoChao to just look like some little blue dot floating around Sonic. Well, I was sort of wrong there. He does look like a real OmoChao with Sonic. His appearance looks a little vivid. If something small can look vivid like that while it's a game for sega genesis then it also does show a little potential for the sega genesis' graphics. Well, thats all for the graphics I guess.Sound: 8Pretty much, everything is the same here. Nothing changed here. Same sound effects and the same background music. The only thing is that when OmoChao says something, that "getting an extra life" sound plays but as he keeps going, it will get higher pitched. And ouch that is a pain in the ear, also if you actually last long enough, it might start getting out of sync. lol. Thats all for the sound here.Addictiveness: 6Ehh... The game is sort of addicting I guess. Even though it is one heck of an annoying game, there are still some types of players who would like games like this and would continue to keep playing it and would want to try to beat his own best time at a certain zone. I know it may sound weird but it is true even though I'm not that type of gamer. Thats all for the addictiveness.Story: Um... not sure, probably none?Well, I'm not sure if it would be no story since all you do in this game is to just try to beat your best time with OmoChao's annoyance. But it can also be that Sonic and OmoChao has to destroy Dr. Eggman and free the innocent animals. But I'm honestly not sure and there isn't much to say here either.Depth: 8I'll have to say that this game offers lots of depth. The way it has it's level selection screen and the way OmoChao annoys you. Darn, but I made a little overkill for the gameplay section so it may be difficult for me to go more in depth in the other section without me repeating the same thing over and over again. I should remind myself not to do that mistake again.Difficulty: 10And of course, you would already know what the rating of the difficulty of this Sonic hack would deserve. If typically anything you do would get OmoChao to pause the game and if he keeps pausing it longer everytime you do something like getting a ring, then I'm sure the difficulty would deserve a 10. I can't even get passed green hill zone with me losing my patience and I wonder how labyrinth zone would be like them, lol.Overall: 6.5Yup, thats pretty much it for the game. Very difficult and hard that it may not be too enjoyable. Thanks for reading this and I hope to make more review often in the future! I wish you all an awesome day at vizzed! :D

The most annoying sonic hack? Stevie 764
The most annoying sonic hack known to man?
The graphics and sounds are unchanged, because it's a hack.
The story is just going through sonic 1 with omochao behind you interuptting you all the time.
This game is harder than "OMG THE RED RINGS" sonic hack, and this is extremly hard with omochao interuptting every 5 seconds.
At least you have a 30:00.00 time limit.
The depth is alot thanks to omochao and his interuptting messages.
Overall, if you want a good sonic hack like this, try sonic the extended edition.
How to play: You must play through the 19 acts of sonic 1 with omochao behind, get ready to throw your computer at a wall because this is the most annoying hack.
The only difference is that you have omochao behind, the goal in the levels is to get the minimum messages from omochao as possible, get way too many, and not only can a 1:00 stage turn into 10:00-20:00, but you can also timeover at 30:00.00!
At the start of the game, after beating a level or getting a Game Over, you are in the hubworld, where you can select any of the 19 acts by pushing a switch and starting the level, when you either bounce on a spring, hit an enemy, get a ring, hit a monitor, lose a life, get Game Over, and so on.
Try not to have omochao talk too much, every time he talks, the gameplay pauses while the timer still keeps going, the pause time gets longer every message, so don't try to get omochao into a talker.
Omochao says: You talked!
Me: Shut up!
Omochao says: You talked again!
Me: Enough already!
Omochao says: You got raged!
Me: I'm outta here!
Omochao says: You left the game!
Me: WHY BOTHER!?
Omochao says: You got raged again, what're you gonna do about it?
Me: *throws omochao at wall*
Omochao fainted, You gain 9001 exp! You leveled up to 100!

Sonic The hedgehog : Omochao edition by 98Gamingstar 98Gamingstar
This is one of the many hacks for Sonic the hedgehog for the genesis. But....when hacks go wrong they can lead to things like this. This is a game which I would not expect most people to have completed. In this review I'm going to discuss how bad and stupid this hack is. Now please excuse me if I decide to kill myself because of how boring and annoying this hack it.
-Graphics-
The graphics have not really changed. Well I guess they have actually changed slightly if you count Omochao and his stupid text bubbles. Maybe the owner could have improved the graphics since it is possible to do that. And I mean I know this has nothing to do with the graphics but this game is like the one who made this took some drugs or something before making this. Anyway, overall the graphics are bad.Oh and I would never rate anything on this game high (Apart from the Difficulty of course)
-Sound-
This game sounds normal but still...Whenever you hit a ring or something you have to sit through about a minute of this stupid noise. and whenever you hit a motorbug or even just hitting a boss in the boss stage. As a result I rated the sound low. Even though it sounds like the original game. It is the Omochao edition so what can I say. The sound is ANNOYING, end of story.
-Addictiveness-
This game is not very addicting. I know people who have quit halfway through. It's not that it can't be addicting..It just can't pull you into it. As for when you complete it, there is a chance you will NEVER come back to it. Due to it being annoying and such. This game will NEVER be addicting. Why did SEGA even create Omochao?! :(
-Story-
This game has no story apart from a little, fat chao buzzing beside you all the time and telling you the obvious. This is what I think the story is : One day a blue hedgehog called Sonic was running around green hill zone. It was a normal day mind you it WAS normal until he bumped into a robotic chao. The chao had a sign on it that said ' Omochao ' Sonic decided that it needed a bit of fixing up. So Sonic decided to fix it up, since Sonic was no genius he just made the chao worse. But Sonic did not know that, all he knew was that the chao was flying beside him and looked quite happy. Now, he deicded to take the chao and run with it. The chao started talking everytime Sonic did something. Sonic shook it off, thinking it was just a random glitch. But oh boy, was he wrong. By the final boss fight Sonic wanted to kill himself because the chao was being so annoying. He grabbed a brick and smashed the chao up. The chao however got fixed and continued to be annoying. THE END! As you can see I'm not good at fan stories.
-Depth-
This game is not very big but it might take you a while to beat due to Omochao being there and text bubbles coming up with you do something. There is not a lot to do apart from avoid the rings / badniks etc, Completing the level and of course completing the game. I would have maybe liked to see a bit more in this game such as cut scenes and maybe a secret level at the end that lets you beat up Omochao. I would have liked to see that.
-Difficulty-
This game is VERY hard to complete because you might get frustrated halfway through and then quit the game and never play it again. It IS a easy game however and if you have like 10 hours spare then maybe thats when you can play the game. I rated this difficulty high because even if it is a easy game, its very irritating.
This was another review by 98Gamingstar, I hope you liked it.
