My review of S-Factor Sonia and Silver Sephirothxxxxxx..
Today I'm reviewing The S Factor- Sonia and Silver
Overall- 9.7 ?Let me just start by saying this is one of the best, most complete Sonic Hacks I've played. It's a complete and difficult hack that has more variety than just a sprite swap. I first got my claws on this hack around a year before vizzed got it and I found it to be phenomenal. Let's jump right into this review.
Graphics-8? These graphics quite possibly surpass that of any other sidescrolling sonic game on the genesis. The coloring of the environments provide a more realistic feel- while Sonic games normally have either a super bright level or a super dark level.? The coloring of the badniks are bolder, as well as darker, thus providing visible differences. Another thing with the badniks is that they have been redone to have a much more cybernetic look to them. Plus, the bosses look great.
Sound- 7?? The music in this game could have been better at some parts but Aquaslash, the creator of this hack, went to the trouble of actually porting music from Sonic Adventure into this game- which is a huge plus in my book. Of course, the sound effects are also very nice and carry that special Sonic feel.
Addictiveness- 10 ?This game's addictiveness is hands down just as addictive as any classic Sonic game and maybe even more. And with the inclusion of 3?characters to play as, each hugely different from the other, you cant bet that I'm always gonna be coming back to it for more.? The?bosses require lots more?work and are harder to figure out. Heck, the first boss destroyed all of my lives when I first started playing.
Story- 3 ?This game pretty much follows the exact same story as your standard Sonic game. (I.E. 1 and 2.)Eggman?Nega, who is the?Eggman from Silver the Hedgehog's time period, is causing trouble and has apparently sunk so low as to resorting to stuffing poor animals into robots and making them attack. I think the only main difference in the story here would be the different eggman. But,?in terms of good guys, 3 heroes from the Sonic series band together to take down eggman nega- who is, despite just stuffing animals into robots in this?game, actually much more of an intense bad guy than eggman is. Silver the Hedgehog, Sonia the Hedgehog from Sonic Underground, and Scourge the?Hedgehog who is Sonic's evil counterpart, are the available characters in this game.
Depth- 8? This game features 3 unique?playable characters, super difficult special stages,?and long?as well as difficult levels and bosses.? Silver's unique abilities include spindashing and having the?ability to float in the air. Sonia is a heavier character (most likely due to her hair) who lacks some of the traditional sonic abilities and instead plays more like how amy plays in Sonic Advance. Instead of spindashing she takes a big leap.She can also do a tornado spin like?Espio can in Knuckles chaotix. Scourge, who is probably my favorite character?in this game, is also the lightest character and I think he has his set of moves ripped directly from sonic CD. He has the?Super Peelout, which is a move that cause him to rev his feet up as fast as he can and then launch himself.?He has the classic spindash, and even has a move similar to homing dash?but it lacks the homing. And when he has?enough speed and vertical air, he spins around the same way Sonic?does in sonic CD.?
Difficulty- 6 ? This game is by all means much harder than?most other sonic games and by far harder than?any of the genesis?titles. The levels are lengthy and difficult, the bosses are hard, and the special stages are something else. They are very weird; you would have to play them yourself to understand. The controls are virtually untouched, though. This is a good thing. You slide and skid around just like you would in any other Sonic game.
In conclusion, the game is great fun and the variety will keep you happy. It's straightforward, fast, and overall a well-done hack that's definitely worth playing.
Thanks for reading this review by Sephirothxxxxxxxxxxx. It's been fun.

A Good Game hackerman
I found this game when i said i would test the genesis games for Davideo7 so i thought i might as well make a review here goes
Graphics:
The graphics in this game are similar to Sonic The Hedgehog. But the sprites are a bit cleaned up and levels have a lot more customization. So the graphics are a bit better than Sonic The Hedgehog. But there are some weak points in the graphics but to minor to point out so the graphics gets a good 8/10
Sound:
This game has the same sound effects as Sonic The Hedgehog like jumping destroying an enemy etc. But it has new music. But the music in it is a bit slow and not as thrilling. it doesn't have that action packed music like it should have. So i give this sound a 6/10 it has okay music but it should have had a better variety of music and sounds
Addictiveness:
Just like Sonic The Hedgehog this game is really hard to stop playing. It's levels are fun to play and you can find many power-ups to make the level more fun. You can ask anyone this game is really fun and addicting trust me if you start playing for at least 5 min the you'll get so addicted because the levels are so fun so i give the addictiveness a 9/10
Story:
This game was bad when it comes to a storyline. All you do is start of as either Sonia or Silver and you beat all the levels. However the story is that Mobius is being attacked and it's up to Sonia and Silver to help save the day or so i read on Wikipedia. But some say this game is to good to need an intro but it could have had at least some small intro
so i give the story a 5/10
Depth:
This game does have some extras to offer like there might be a bonus level or two or if you get enough rings or a certain amount you could enter a warp to find chaos emeralds so you have a couple goals to accomplish and you can beat the game with two different characters. I only wish it had some more stuff to do in the game but i give the Depth a nice 7/10
Difficulty:
This game feature a lot of levels to complete and you have to try and beat it with 2 characters. But the game has a lot of traps like secret spike and enemies where you don't expect them. You also gotta be careful where you jump because you might run into an enemy. This game is a bit hard because level 1 is the difficulty of level 2 or 3 on sonic the hedgehog so i rate the difficulty 7/10
Overall Rating:
The overall rating i give the game is 8.5/10 it has some flaws that should be worked out like the sound and story but overall it's a great game and i highly recommend you try it if you liked Sonic The Hedgehog
