User Reviews about Sonic the Hedgehog
I like this game only cause I'm a Sonic The Hedgehog fan. This 1's much different from past Sonic games. Has lots of great sound & 3D gfx. Storyline's interesting too. Not sure if I'm used 2 Dr. Robotnik being called Eggman yet or the other notable changes but I'm sure I'll adapt pretty quick 2 all that. Game's still fun but I'm sure there's better Sonic games available, like Sonic Unleashed 4 starters... Still gets 4.5 stars & a positive review. :) -- Cool... :)
Like the title says, it just depends on how much of a sonic fan you are. If you can handle the glitches then you might find this very enjoyable. If you can't (like me), you'll find it a waste of time and probably return it. Another problem is the stages where you automatically run. It's so much easier to run into stuff and you can get hurt from things that you shouldn't be hurt by, like pillars, cars, etc.
Now, on to the pros and cons:
Pros
Good voice acting
Storyline was okay
Realistic graphics
Silver (need I say more?)
Cons
Glitches
Load times
Very hard level design
Unexpected deaths
Control

Why are so many people complaining about minor issues like the camera and loading times? LOADING TIMES AND CAMERAS AREN'T THE ENTIRE GAME, PEOPLE!!! I picked this up at Gamestop yesterday used, so I could return it if I hated it like most of the rest of the world. Did I hate it? NO, OF COURSE NOT!!! This game is AWESOME! It finally goes back to some of its older roots. Multiple playable characters, extras... It's totally sweet.
Graphics: Probably the best we've ever seen for Sonic. Everything is so vivid and realistic. Really, from this point on, they should start making all of their Sonic games for the PS3.
Music:
Mehhh. Most of it sounds like original gameplay music we've all heard before in earlier Sonic games. The title music is freakin awesome though:p
Story:
Okay, I probably can't comment on this much since I've only played through 80% of Sonic's story, and haven't started Silver's or Shadow's. For Sonic's, it's same old same old, just with an annoying princess. Ugh!
Characters:
Again, I've only played through 80% of Sonic, so I don't have much to say here (yet). I'll probably do an update once I've finished the entire thing. So far, Sonic is the same old Sonic, Tails still sounds like an 8 year old girl, and I SO WANT TO PUNCH ELISE IN THE FACE!!! And if you thought Amy's helplesness was bad... Sheesh...
Gameplay:
Okay, I've heard WAY, WAY WAAAY too many people complaining about bad the loading times are. LOADING TIMES ARE NOT THE ENTIRE GAME PEOPLE!!! IT'S TEN SECONDS OF YOUR LIFE!!! MOVE ON!!! Honestly, all it requires is half an ounce of patience to live through the loading times. You don't even need a book. As far as other things go, there's a few teeny tiny flaws. All in all though it's still standard Sonic fare, with a few new moves thrown in, like Sonic and Elise's shield thingy. Sometimes I don't use it... Because I want Elise to drown...
Complaints:
- The sound of Tails' tails DRIVES ME INSANE!!! It sounds like evil chipmunks. EVIL CHIPMUNKS! Creepy much.
- Elise is so darn annoying! I mean come on: a romance between a HEDGEHOG and a HUMAN GIRL. Eeeewwwwww!!! It would've been SO, SO, SO much better if they had made her an animal like the others! Hmmm... I think she kinda would've looked like Tikal... Cool:p
- Everyone moves so frikkin slow! It just feels awkward for a Sonic game. I blame the slowness on EliseX(
- Alright, I'll admit it: the loading times CAN be annoying sometimes. Heck, that's the only reason I bumped off a star. But it's ten seconds of your life!!! There's not a lot you can do in ten seconds, ya know?
Overall, I really reccomend this game to Sonic fans everywhere. You might want to get it used though, just in case. Happy gaming!
-- THE MOST UNDERRATED GAME EVER!!!
