Sonic Megamix is a complete re-modification hack of the original Sonic
the Hedgehog. Instead of being lazy, and only changing the color of the
levels. Team Megamix, made a completely new game, using Sonic the
Hedgehog as a palette.
Gameplay B: Sonic Megamix, is a
completely new game. New abilities, levels, characters, and more are
included. The level design, is a bit to insane for my taste, but going
very fast is no issue. The levels at least make sense, and are quite fun
to play in. Every character, goes at an insane speed, and their own set
of special abilities. This adds to the reply value, as its fun to see
what each of characters can do. The platforming is more in your face,
but the levels have plenty of hidden areas adding a classic exploration
type of feel to the game. My only complaint for this game is the use of
the homing attack. It gives you a big speed boast when used, and it
makes the game feel more like a button masher. It also makes the game
easier. The game is still fun though.
Graphics A-: The graphics,
as expected are beautiful. The new environments look even better then
they did in the originals. Some new graphical updates were added, like a
completely new make over for labyrinth zone. Sonic CD sprites are used
to add an element of coolness to the game. The enemies are recolored,
and look quite good. My only issue with the graphics, is the amount of
slow there is in the game. There are a lot of sprites on screen at once,
but this is Genesis, slow down shouldn't be an issue.
Sound A:
The music is awesome, most of songs in the game are great. They fit with
the game, and they are catchy as ever. Some of the songs even come from
Michal Jacksons Moonwalker. They are quite good, for the most part. Some of the sounds come from Sonic CD, which is a strong fit for this game.
Addictiveness B+: This game is quite addicting, but I don't have a lot to say for this section.
Depth B: Every level is redone, and new. There are new characters, and powerups from the previous Sonic games. The elemental shields from Sonic 3 are a warm welcome. Sonic is given a split peel, and a homing attack. These make a big difference on the game and make it faster.
Difficulty Medium: Pretty balanced game, I don't have much to say though.
Overall Rating A-:
