Sonic the Hedgehog Review IGNShare. A set of monumental roadblocks derail the first next generation Sonic offering. By Juan Castro Certain things should stay in the past. Just take a look at The Dukes of Hazard movie. The same thing goes for struggling videogame franchises. Some of them should just stay put and let gamers remember the way things were. Such is the case with Sonic the Hedgehog. Theres nothing wrong with trying to reinvent an old franchise just make sure its as good, if not better, than where it started.

Instead of convincing players that Sonic deserves a second chance, it all but eliminates his chances of a second coming worth remembering. Its not a total disaster it actually has a few good ideas but several factors sabotage any hopes for a successful transition to the next generation. Its a bigger shame than usual because the series holds so much promise. Its fun blasting through loops and crazy environments at high speeds. For further proof, just boot up one of the original 1.

Large collection of Sonic The Hedgehog Games. New and amazing Sonic The Hedgehog online games are added everyday. Developers just need to distill the essence of those pioneering titles and update the look of the package. Sadly, Sonic the Hedgehog fails to do just that. It certainly tries to move the series forward by adding characters and new features, but it neglects the one thing it needs to get absolutely right. And thats to give players an empowering sense of speed and let them exploit it however they see fit. But it doesnt. On the contrary, it teases with snippets of gameplay that demonstrate how a true next generation Sonic game would work, but it rips them away as soon as it shows them. These glimpses of hope punctuate the entire experience, making it a truly frustrating experience. At the same time, its better than having no redeeming features at all. The first of these is the ability to control multiple characters. Thats usually a good idea since variety keeps any experience fresh.

Sadly, Sonic the Hedgehog fails to do just that. It certainly tries to move the series forward by adding characters and new features, but it neglects the. In Sonic, players control a roster of characters from the known Sonic universe. This includes Tails, Shadow and a new guy named Silver. Every character has unique abilities and controls, which helps keep things varied. But thats where things go south. Regardless of how well intentioned the developers were in adding this feature, the result hardly lives up to the effort. Characters behave differently and some even have their own chapters in the storyline, but none of them really stands out. Beyond that, most of their unique powers fail to impress. Take the major player, Sonic. He accelerates slowly and only starts going with the help of speed pads on the floor. Making matters worse, the levels themselves force him to a grinding halt almost constantly. He needs to stop to handle environmental hazards and enemies, and forget about bumping into anything because it yanks him back to zero. Even dedicated players will find themselves trapped by an endless cycle of starting and stopping. It plumb doesnt feel right. Its as if Sonic walked into this game by mistake. The other two characters fare a little better. Shadow can ride vehicles and blast stuff better than Sonic can, while Silver uses telekinesis to move giant blocks and build broken bridges. He can also whisk incoming missiles and laser shots and fire them back to enemies. It sounds fantastic in theory and it works to some degree, but games have done this all before. More importantly, theyve done it all better. Again, theres nothing wrong with implementing new elements into the Sonic universe, its just a shame that none of them actually improve the experience. It would actually be better to strip the new content and concentrate on the 2. D to 3. D transition.
