Good games just live up to the test of time.
So many games are just not playable after a couple of years but the truly great games
will always and forever be a blast to play.
The original Mario, Castlevania, Metroid, Metal Gear Solid, are some examples of this.
And now, that super fast hedgehog has found himself back in his original game, but this
time on a new console, waiting for your download on the PS3.
In case you have been under a rock, here is a quick rundown.
Dr. Robotnik, or as he is also known as Dr. Eggman, is trying to collect all the Chaos
Emeralds and control the island.
He has captured all the forest animals and is turning them into robots.
It is up to Sonic, an extremely fast blue hedgehog to rescue the animals, find the Chaos
Emeralds, and save the forest.
Yeah the story is kinda wack but back in the day, video games were based solely on gameplay
and not story.
A brilliant concept.
And that is where Sonic truly excels.
You will run through multiple levels, each broken down into three separate acts, with
the third act ending in a fight against Robotnik himself.
Sonic can move fast and jump, and must use his skills to navigate through the tricky
designed levels.
Now I’m of the belief that games should be played in their original form on their
original console, and Sonic is no different.
But my beliefs don’t change the the fact that this is a great version of the game,
packed with multiple features and improvements.
For one, and most importantly, the game feels right.
The jumping is responsive, and feels identical to the Genesis version.
The graphics are HD, and look absolutely amazing.
And the music has never sounded better.
But there are also trophies to unlock, which brings more reason to play, with some being
quite hard.
There is also a save feature that saves anywhere, easily allowing people to abuse it and make
the game super easy.
But there is one very big problem with the game, and that is the existence of another
game.
You see, for only a little bit more, you can pick up Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection,
which comes with this game and so many more.
But just looking at this game alone, it carries the greatness of Sonic to the latest console
and is still just as fun to play.
