1 out of 5 stars what a disgrace to sonic   July 27, 2008
sonic genesis is a god awful piece of somthing! if it's not the glitches killing you, it' somthing else. the collision detection is bad, the slow frame rate's worse, and to top it off, the game music is INSANE! the music is so awful to listen to, it makes you want to rip you ear drums out! it makes me cry knowing this is based off the genesis oringinal. this is celebrating the original game's 15th annaversary? wow sega, you must hate sonic. i can't believe you're tring to con people out of their hard earned money for this insult! and what's worse, you're tring to pass this off as the original? WTF?!


1 out of 5 stars Oh How the Mighty Have Fallen   May 11, 2008
I think this game cannot be called a Sonic The Hedgehog game.It's more like a Slowy the Slug-guy game.What the the heck were they thinking when they made this?Sonic had a good history on the portable systems,but this I think has destroyed his reputation.The game itself is..... okay but it was redesigned for the Gameboy and the frame rate was slowed so that moving Sonic is like moving a slug.The music was also changed so that it only has the basic themes of the original.Skip this one and stick to the original.

I cant believe they somehow messed up a port of one of the greatest games ever. really this is terrible the glitches are so bad i cant get past the second level and I,ve had the game for over a year. green hill is fun but its nearly impossible to get past the second. the game doesn't even know whats going on some times. Im serious its bad, Ive gotten killed and crushed by absolutely nothing, thats right i wasn't even standing by anything then all of a sudden sonic just dies. stay away from this at all costs, if you want a fun portable sonic game try sonic advance 3.

When I first bought this game at wal mart I thought I was going to have fun with it. Well as with most GBA ports of 16 bit games this one is a huge dissapointment. First off the game lags so badly (espiecally in the scrap brain zone) that it is almost unplayable. The only way to somewhat make the game run faster is to turn off the music and sound effects and play with total silence. Even with the music and sound turned off the game will lag. You might as well as turn off the music since it sounds so bad. Trying to get all chaos emeralds in this game is almost impossible as you have to save the game BEFORE you turn it off. If you dont the game will lose the position and you have to start all over again. Rather than change the backgrounds or animations to make it run more smoothly they churned it out as quickly as possible to make some quick money. Some may argue if they did that then it wouldnt be the original, but I say its much better to have a game thats playable. I thought this was supposed to be a port of a classic game not some horrible movie based game. Buy Sonic Mega Collection plus and stay away from this piece of garbage
