Ok Taking off  Sega finally released that on November 2006 it was sonic's 15th birthday and anniversary for the main sonic fans that had been around. So Sega possibly thought what better way then to release this classic on the go for the fans. But honestly what this ended up in was a epic fail in porting a game and probably a very sad or unhappy anniversary for all the sonic fans that had played sonic since 1991. Enter the Sonic the hedgehog genesis review

Game play. The game play is just really crippled here. Like here.s an example you know how quickly the screen would go green hill zone act 1. That was more likely an example of how fast sonic was is in the original game but in this port the screen goes about 25 or 50 percent slower. So seeing that is defiantly not a good sign at all unfortunately it is true. Sonic is more slowed down than usual. As usual people know that in the original sonic game he was just a bit slow so the players controlling him would be able to respond rightfully and properly. But in this port I don't know what happened at all. All I know is  the game play is very slow. Its not all bad in the beginning but when you start getting to places. You know where you start smashing stuff. It starts to get frustrating on here it takes about a minute or 2 to finally get done smashing those bricks or whatever they are  were in the first game it would only take a few seconds.now don't get me wrong but Sega has ported sonic over many plat formers including the ipod and what not. So theres no really excuse for them how they managed to mess this up considering the gba is like a combination of a snes and genesis.  plus Sega made the sonic advanced series and he was fast as the first genesis game.  only real change in actual way besides sonic being slower. Is they added anniversary mode  and you only get to do a spin dash in the levels like in sonic the hedgehog 2 . So really besides sonic being slower they really made no difference to the game play at all.

  Graphics  Now in most port overs of a original game . The graphics gets ported nearly perfect. But unfortunately in this port of the original sonic the hedgehog is not the case. The reason why is some reason Sega cropped off  half of the backgrounds. Either because of screen limitations or to give sonic a close up your guess is good as mine.  But besides that theres not much to differ from this and the original sonic. But unfortunately Sega cutting off half of the backgrounds. Makes it very hard to see where certain enemies like the robot bettle. Its hard to see where they fire they can fire at any time any place and theres no certain way in this port to see it while your going further down in some level parts even the ending is screwed up in this port where you know how sonic would return all chaos emeralds. And he would appear in the main front of the screen. The flowers in the background got completely removed. Graphics gets a 6 while not my natural rating its at least decent
                                    
 Sound again in most ports overs of a original game the sound is also nearly perfect. Again unfortunately once more this is not the case for this port of Sonic the hedgehog 1.   While your main jumping sounds are here some of the other sounds got chopped off aka removed. You will notice this when your  at the boss known as eggman/robotink he had 2 sound effects and that's when you start jumping at him and breaking his machinery  so 1 of those sounds have gotten removed. Even when your breaking or crashing through certain objects there is sometimes no sound when doing such things if you think that's bad you got another thing coming. Soundtrack  again don't get me wrong we had seen all Mario and donkey Kong games while having their music compressed.it was nearly not that fair from their original super Nintendo counterparts.so you think that the sonic the hedgehog 1 music would be nearly perfect unfortunately  I would say think again. Most of the music is just really messed up has they have been alerted or tried to be remixed with tiny game boy loops. And when you want to listen to classic music like. The green hill zone or others it would not sound nearly as great as the originals. Sound gets a 3 bad lack of original sounds and the music somehow got really messed up.

Addictiveness. Honestly I would just not really play this port cause there are many other versions aka ports of the original sonic 1 that has been perfect. The main reason is the challenge of the game and enjoying the adventure game and bashing through stuff it was boat loads of fun. But sadly this port has sonic slow so that's why I would not play this. Addictiveness would get a 3 in my case.

Story. This being a port of the original sonic 1 the story is the same so I will explain it. Your sonic the hedgehog  and your supposed to save the world and all forest animals from being turned into robots from eggman.so you go through various levels  and defeat egg man. Storyline gets a 5 natural rating for dupe stories.

Depth again being a port this has all the same stuff sonic 1 offered but with the anniversary/spin dash mode. It offers a lot of levels to go through you can get chaos emeralds. And beat robotink of course  the game is longer do to sonic being slower and the game its self being pretty slow.Depth would get a 10 if this is a game your looking to be pretty long lasting this would be for that person. So its slightly longer than the original being the game itself is slower.

Difficulty 10 bad case of difficulty here. Because of the game being so slow and backgrounds being chopped off aka removed. It makes it hard to avoid some of the glitches that are coming your way. When you are in that star zone where you escape the bomb you wont make it properly escaped you will still end up dieing to do glitches of background removal and slowness of the game. And as I mentioned before the cropped backgrounds makes enemies that shoot projectiles very hard to see. So theres about a lot of chances your gonna get killed or lose rings. Without even knowing it

Overall . This was a failure attempt at making sonic the hedgehog 1 on the go. If your looking to play sonic 1 on vizzed just use the original game through the rgr plug in. Or download an emulator on your phone or psp yes psp cause certain people hack it to get emulators on it. Just avoid this game at all cost. Ratings 5.5. More reviews to come





                              



 

SuperCrash64 : Wow...I never released that Sonic the Hedgehog was ported to the Game Boy Advance. Your review of how bad it is actually makes me want to play the game to see how bad it actually is. LOL. Pretty good review. Just tweak it a little to make it look organized and stuff, because the text looks like you are just rambling when you clearly have structure in your review. Also, why is that one portion have grey text?

Well, you put in a lot of detail, so good job there. However, if I may add a bit of constructive criticism... You should always read through your reviews at least once, before posting them. Proofreading helps make sure that you spelled everything correctly, you used proper grammar, and it flowed coherently. In this review, it skipped around a little bit in a few places (but most was coherent enough), and you used some improper grammar in a few places. Also, the use of "aka" was a bit off.

Please, don't be discouraged by these comments. I'm just trying to help a capable reviewer improve and make for an excellent one. You are on your way.

Eirinn : thanks for your support I'm not discouraged by any of those comments unless only comments I'm open to suggestion/criticism  I would be discouraged only if they are very insulting or rude or criticism taken to far . play4fun  I'm not trying to rant that's seriously how bad the game is don't believe me check out other reviews of this game and you will see it lol. The Grey text part was by accident  I accidently clicked the green color and thought I changed it back but apparently I made it grey. As they say keep on gaming . There's always something gonna be bad heading your way but does not mean you are afraid to face it
