Sonic the Hedgehog

The Good old days when Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo went head to head to be the king of home video game systems

Both systems had their own collection of video game titles that remain popular with those who love games.

One Game the Sega Genesis had that got people talking was Sonic The Hedgehog.

Perhaps the fastest video game character ever created as speed is Sonic's best skill as you pick up the game to play you'll going to see that Sonic can do a lot of things a normal character wouldn't do.

You can pick up the game on Sega Genesis as well as on the Sega Collection for Playstation 3 so this game is a must have for any video game fan

The game has you collecting rings to help with your lives, also you can collect power ups to help you in the level.

The game features some of the best graphics in any video and today it is still impressive the level designs are just superb and the attention to the 2D animation is impressive as well as good character art work.

The controls are easy to pick up and play so it is a good sign to the player that the game is simple to master but it takes time to get through the levels.

The Game Play remains fun as you try to prove yourself as the best in score.

However the game is not easy to beat as you must be prepare for anything that the game throws at you but if you are willing to go all the way then you're set.

The game is just a classic and remains one of the most popular games ever.

I give Sonic The Hedgehog an 8 out of 10

I have this game for my Sega Genesis. Plug the cassette in and the choir sings "SEGA!" That part was so cool. I love this game. Sonic looked so cute in his old style. Yuji Naka created the adorable and cute and speedy little hedgehog sporting sneakers. I love the Green Hill Zone theme. Sonic really put Sega on the map. His arch nemesis is a scientist who kidnapped animals and robotized them. The Scientist's name is Dr. Eggman. Every time you defeat Dr. Eggman, he gets away. You have got to find all six Chaos Emeralds and put an end to Eggman's conundrums. Sonic is much faster then Speedy Gonzalez and cuter than an Italian plumber.

I will never forget the snowy Xmas of 1992 when I made the upgrade from the trusty old Commodore 64 to the Sega Genesis. I got about 1 game per week for the Genesis and tried just about everything. My first ever game tho was Sonic the Hedgehog. The gameplay was simple and that's the way I liked it.

The graphics were cute. From bright blue sunshine and tropical landscapes to the cruel mechanical world of Doctor Robotnik (now called the Eggman). The music was great (where are the soundtrack CDs???) and I was never happier.

Sure it was totally easy but I always went back for more. This game had such charm is it any wonder why Sonic is still so popular all these years on?

This is obviously the best Sonic title yet. And that's saying something, considering his latest adventures have been nails in his coffin. Which means they sucked. But this game rocks! It introduced the revolution of the 16-bit era. Yet sometimes, it felt challenging. But this game makes up for it with incredible replay. You'll play this for hours to get everything. The only game with Sonic in it that was great was probably Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I can't imagine a better way to relive classic side scrolling action besides Super Mario Bros. So sit back, relax and enjoy the 16-bit era's domination. Sonic lives on forever!

You just knew from the first time you played it that SONIC THE HEDGEHOG would become a timeless classic. Sixteen years later, it's as much fun to run the blue blurball through castles and spaceships as it was back then!

Visually, this Sega Genesis effort is unmatched. It's one of those rare games that you didn't always mind watching your friend play. The gameplay is outstanding and exciting, which is amazing considering all you can do is run and jump. The music is second only to SUPER MARIO BROS. in terms of feel-good repeatability. It's virtually flawless in every respect.

What more can be said? SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is one of the greatest video games ever made. There have been plenty of incarnations of the spiky critter since, but none have matched the original.
