Sonic The Hedgehog For The PS3 Game Review      

January 19th, 2008

Sonic The Hedgehog is an offering of Sega of America Inc. It is available on Amazon.com for $19.99 With this game Sonic has fallen to new depths by failing to entertain. This game is replete with bad glitches, poor gameplay and terrible controls. The only thing about this game that arouses your attention is Sonic’s name that is associated with great gaming.

The game is composed of three stories. Sonic, Shadow and Silver are the main characters in one story each. The hedgehogs are controlled differently in each story. Each hedgehog has different abilities. Other characters around Sonic make guest appearances in this game.

In the main game you play different roles, however the structure is the same. Load times are long and give the game a ‘broken’ feel. You do not get a good view of the action due to poor camera control.

The lives in this game are limited and when you die you go back to the main menu. Every time you enter a new area you need to save since the game does not save automatically.

I really hated the glitchy graphics of Sonic The Hedgehog. It is outdated. The frame rate is sketchy and Sonic runs slow taking away much of his appeal. Unless you revere Sonic The Hedgehog enough to burn dollars on him, this game is not recommended.
