Manchester United will always get a minimum of 5 minutes additional time at Old Trafford and, most importantly, Sonic will always be one of gaming's true heroes. The Sega icon put a face to the console name and, say it quietly, the zippy hedgehog is actually celebrating his 19th birthday this year. Of course what better way to celebrate it than with a brand new adventure? We'll get that in Sonic 4, due out later this year. In the meantime, Nintendo fans can kick off the party early by playing some of Sonic's finest console ventures."
Carl Williams writes, "It is unclear what was going through the minds of the executives at Sega when they got the designs for Sonic the Hedgehog but it is clear that gamers loved him. Sonic proved that gamers were tired of slow games and they wanted speed- not just in racing games but in action games too. By the time Sega got to the third Sonic game, the whole speed and nothing but speed was getting a little thin with fans. Sega had to change things up a bit and so they did to great fanfare of fans across the world."
Sega's generosity extends a lot by giving up some of their games again and that includes the two popular retro Sonic games (by which I claimed it to be popular because of the gameplay) on which is the Sonic Blast and Sonic Labyrinth. How was that for all of the 3DS gamers?
As for me, I'm fine with the Sonic franchise but there's a point where I feel bored because of the similar scenario of the sonic series, run and jump gameplay.
While the contents are excellent choices for any Sonic aficionado, a lack of content and poor presentation values make this collection of Sonic titles fall short of expectations, even despite being a decent compilation. Sonic Classic Collection on the Nintendo DS can be summed up in two words: wasted potential.
