Sonic The Hedgehog 1


As a PlayStation plus member I received this game for free this month and boy am I glad I did! This game is one of my favorite Sega games of all time and to this day still have it for my Sega mega drive it was awesome in 1991 and its awesome now! One thing that I really liked was the introduction of trophies, now Ive played this before on the PlayStation with sonics ultimate collecting but it only had one trophy for it so I only did one quick play through, with this though they have included 12. Not only did they add 12 but there great each one gets you playing this game differently there's speed ones that have you finding the fastest route, collector ones which have you finding rings and emeralds, and survival trophies that have you slowing down and keeping hold of those Shields and rings its a great idea and one that got me playing 4 playthroughs of this great game great work :).


I'm not sure there isn't anyone who hasn't played this game or seen this game but I'll explain it anyway, this game has you playing the role of sonic a blue hedgehog that goes on a mission to stop the evil Dr Robotnic who has kidnapped all the forest creatures, Shocker I know :) Now the thing about sonic is speed hes a total speed freak and its one thing that sets this game apart from the others. The game is simple there's only one button that's jump and the directional buttons its simple but executed really well.


The level set up is similar to many games of this type and age, there are certain worlds and are split up into 3 levels the 3rd ending in a fight with Dr Robotnic, each world has a different feel and look to it and every level needs a different approach some require speed while others require more precision jumping and accuracy. All in all this game is great its perfect for a pick up and play game and can be picked up by anyone of any age and that's why this game is so successful, its Sonic The Hedgehog 1. 

Total Top Spec Gaming Score 10 / 10
