So Sega's just spent like a year porting the original Sonic to Game Boy Advance, a very tricky task indeed! Surely this would ensure it to be a decent conversion. Small screen? No problem! Just cut off the edges and shit!

WHERE AM I GOING?

To celebrate the fact that they're charging $20 for this (because why spend $20 on Sonic Mega Collection on the consoles, or $20 for Genesis Collection on PSP when you could spend $20 on this one Sonic game!), they've added the ability to do Sonic's charged up spin dash. That's certainly a new idea, never seen before, especially not in Sonic Jam! But what else have they added?

Quote:

the most glaring issue with Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis is that Sonic is completely neutered of his ability to run really, really fast because the game suffers from serious slow-down issues.

Slowdown? Sounds good!

Quote:

As if the chuggy framerates weren't bad enough, you'll also be treated to an intolerable amount of pop-in, where platforms and other little environmental doo-dads will suddenly appear out of nowhere. There is nothing more frustrating than jumping onto a platform that is just about to disappear and having no idea where to jump next because the GBA simply can't handle drawing it into the background. Worst of all, it makes no sense why this should happen at all - it's not like the Game Boy Advance can't handle the game. It's shoddy programming, pure and simple, and there is no excuse for it.

I didn't think this was possible in a 2D platformer, but it's certainly a nice innovative addition!

Quote:

Sega crows about the original Sonic the Hedgehog music being included in the game, but the reality is that the tinny, bassless tunes are just a pale shadow of the original bubbly anthems. You can also see this lack of fidelity in the game's graphics, which are just barely okay and lack the quasi-3D punch of the original game.

Aaah rape music, all the kids are crazy about rape music these days.

Very impressive indeed! Here's the full review.

See and hear it in action!

So, great game or greatest game? Clearly this is GREATEST GAME. <3

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You'd think after all these years, Nintendo would have learnt from the crippling lack of Blast Processing in the SNES!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow! Forget greatest game, this has now exceeded all of that. Stuff of legends, SEGA'S BACK!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well he sorta comes back to life every now and then, like Sawnic Rush, but he's quickly killed off again. Hedgehogs must have more lives than cats!

"WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?"

Spoiler:

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Holy shit. ='D These actually make me WANT to buy it just for eternal laughs. Hopefully the game drops to like two bucks quickly.

I was speaking idiomatically.
