the best Sonic The Hedgehog game of all

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 was the most popular, but I always liked the original Sonic The Hedgehog game the best of the 4 in the series. It has great graphics, sound, and best of all it's fun and has tons of replay value. I've been playing this game since I first got the system about 7 years ago. At the time, Sonic The Hedgehog was a major, groundbreaking game. I still play it more than just about all of my other Sega Genesis games. Even though I've beat it and got all the emeralds more times than i can remember, it's still fun to go all the way through and beat it again and again. Play it, and you'll see why Sonic has revolutionized the video game world and how this game marked Sonic's starting point.

If you get any games of the Sonic The Hedgehog series, any of them would be great to get, but I would recommend this one the most.

The opening to the greatest game saga ever!

I would have to say that STH was only the beginning the the greatest video game saga Sega ever created. Sure it was only the first game and in the later three game STH2 STH3 and S&K you would discover more but, you'll never know the true feel of this series without starting off at the begining.

The Orignal Sonic The Hedgehog !

A classic. Sega's mascot in his first game. Grab rings, get the chaos emeralds, defeat Dr. Robotnic and keep him from enslaving animals for use in his machines!! I could see some hollywood actors in the blue guy's place, but it wouldn't be much fun without the speed!

time to go to sonic speed

Flashback to 1989. Sega has released the Mega Drive in Japan, and received somewhat dissapointing results. Fearing that the same would happen in the U.S., Sega hired a special team in 1990 to design a character that would carry the Genesis to the top of the gaming world. After 14 months, they reached a solution. Sonic the Hedgehog. A small, blue-spiked hedgehog with red sneakers that could run at the speed of sound. In the U.S., Sonic the Hedgehog was a runaway hit, and Sonic became a gaming icon overnight. A game that had this much success was obviously a great title, right? Exactly. This game (at the time) was everything a gamer could hope for. One with an undoubtedly cool character, awesome graphics, break-neck speed, and enough replay value that would still make you play it years down the road. This was no ordinary game. This was a revolution.

The game itsself is compiled of 6 zones that contained 3 acts each. Each zone, obviously, incresing in difficulty as the game progressed. At the end of the third act in every zone, you must fight against the evil Dr. Robotnik. If you didn't know, Dr. Robotnik is the one who captured all of Sonics' friends and turned them into robots. After you defeat him, he flys off and you then destroy a capsule and save some of your friends from being roboticized.

The real highlight of the game, though, is the special stage. Collect 50 or more rings in an act and jump through the giant gold ring at the end, and you were transported into a 360 degree rotating maze in search for one of the 6 chaos emeralds. The colors in this stage would make a hippie proud, and were unimgainable on the NES or Master system.

Combine these features with an awesome soundtrack and great sound effects, and you've got a game that will turn even the most casual of gamers into a hardcore fanatic. This was an amazing game indeed.

Flash forward to 2002. 11 years after Sonic the Hedgehog was released, the blue-blur is still kicking in his last game, Sonic Adventure 2. This game, however, would not be possible if Sega had not discovered the talents of Yuji Naka and the rest of the to-be Sonic Team back in 1990. Sonic the Hedgehog is still one of the best games in the series, and I'm sure it will stay that way for years to come.

My All Time Favorite Sonic Game!!

This is the FLAGSHIP of Sega games where a story unfolds into an Adventure that spills into a game gear, a Saturn, a Dreamcast and who would have ever guessed Sonic gracing the cover of Nintendo Power? A fun game for Sonic beginners, great control and he even had impatient personality for when you let go of the control for longer than 10 seconds; he taps his foot impatiently waiting for you to move.

A Super Game!

Sonic the Hedgehog is a fast moving game with a super fast character. The game is pretty fun and can get addicting quickly. I liked the way the zones and acts got continually harder. I also thought the music was fitting for each zone. The graphics are great for 1992 Genesis. You speed through loop-de-loops, float over lava, shoot like a pinball and run super fast. There's even a 360-degree rotating maze you go through looking for chaos emeralds. All while dodging the demented scientist Dr. Ivo Robotnik's henchbots!

This game (unlike some other Sonic games), is not quite as prone to making you angry when you lose. (A plus) But also keep in mind this was the first Sonic game so if you have played other Sonic games you may find things missing. (One is Super Sonic) But it's still Sonic, so that means it's probably fast paced with lot's of action and a super cool character with lot's of attitude as the star.

All in all, I would way this is a pretty fun game.

This game ROCKS!

This was the very first video game I ever owned. It's way better than all the other Sonic games. You go through many fun levels. Too bad my mom sold our Sega Genisiss. But still, if you can find it anywhere still, get it!
