Sonic's 15th birthday this game was to celebrate it and what is
disappointment after hearing how bad this game was i decided to play
it. Trust me the Mega Drive/Genesis version were brilliant this one is
just bad the first level of Green Hill Zone seemed fine but then comes
Marble Zone which becomes hard and worse. Then the others get worse and
slows down causing you to get killed it's annoying which i had to
switch off the game yes it's that bad. Oh Labyrinth Zone is just terrible when trying to beat Act 2 near the end just goes slow as hell very frustrating.
The game really suffers from really bad frame rate which makes you die
i got trapped during the block and lava which i could not get out. That
is the main issue to the game and adding this you get another mode
called Anniversary which not that different at all just wish the spin dash added.
The sound is alright some of Sonic classic tracks have been made
different a little as you know it is Game Boy Advance. The graphics are
pretty good which the only decent thing you can say about this game though you will notice the slight colour in some enemies. As
with the Mega Drive/Genesis version you have a wider screen while this
version has cut off some parts cropped i should say this even makes it
more hard to play the game.
As Sonic is Sega's mascot they should not be really making bad Sonic
games it really makes the company look bad I mean if Nintendo make
Mario's game good because he is there top mascot but Nintendo have had
problems with there games. But with classic titles such as this one
they really should not have messed up on one of Sonic's best games. Just look at Donkey Kong Country for the GBA it is as good as the SNES version why Sega never made this version well I'll never know.
This release never did make it to the UK only the US and thank god we
don't need terrible games as this as i was saying this game is
unplayable drives me to mad and it goes slow way to much just so much
problems with this.
If you want Sonic then buy it part of the Sonic Mega Collection on
various consoles or buy the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Collection on PSP
or PS2 because thats the best you will get this Sonic from.
