Ten times better than Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Sonic is finally back on a handheld and one that doesn't require 6 batteries for about 3 hours of gameplay. If you haven't yet discovered the true king of handhelds, the NGPC, do so with a copy of Sonic now! If you do have this Game boy beater, pick one of these up along with Dark Arms right away. These two games make the whole system worth it.

Simply Stunning

The NeoGeo may not have the vast back catalogue, but on the strength of titles such as this Sonic game you'd be hard pressed to ignore the possibility that the Gameboy finally has competition.

Put simply, Sonic - Pocket Adventures is a look back at the old gameplay of the 16-bits where your goal was to gather points and beat levels and not a lot else.

A must buy.

a cool game

Sonic the Hedgehog is a really neat game for NEOGEO Pocket. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy this game, but once I got it from amazon.com I was hooked to it. I played until the batteries were dead when I left for my famlies yearly vacation to southern California. It is a great game to get when you first buy a Neo Geo Pocket. Did I mention it has 7 levels, each with different acts? Well the levels are pretty fun. I think the graphics were really good, and I really enjoyed playing Sonic alot. I was also, more than pleased with the dual mode for when you play "two player" with someone else.

U wouldn't expect this sort of quality on a handheld

This game is one of the best for the Neo Pocket. If you like Sonic or platform games at all you have got to get this one. Like the Game Gear version for graphix but with tons more ways to play, a link up option, and tons more to it. This game has the longetivity factor in bucket loads. Complete all the courses with more rings to get puzzle pieces which give secrets, try to get the best times for each level, and if your lucky you can bully a mate into getting the game to play the great link up modes (I haven't tried these but from what I hear they are worth waiting for, luckily my girlfriend is getting her copy soon).

Very Familiar

This game is exactly like the sega genesis game but a compact version. It has the same problem as the other fast moving games. It is real hard to see when you get moving fast. But over all I think it is an awesome game. I recommened it to the type that love games like mario for nintendo and sonic the hedgehog for genesis.

Move over Gameboy, the Neo Geo Pocket is here. The NGP is a great system with games like Pocket Tennis, Metal Slug and the SNK fighters. It just got better with the new Sonic game out. Sonic plays just like it's Genesis counterparts. It has geat graphics-sharp and crisp, great gameplay and good sound. Any one who enjoyed Sonic on the Sega consoles will enjoy this.It has the classic one player mode, as well as the ability to replay any of the levels you have completed. It also has a puzzle mode where you collect puzzle pieces during the regular game which can be put together to form a complete puzzle. Finally it has a cool two player mode with the link up to see who can finish a level first. All in all a must have game for any NGP owner and definately a reason to buy the system if you haven't already. Great job Sega and SNK.

Amazing!

Almost everything you could ask for in a sonic game is here! Forget the old boring 1-track game gear(Genesis) sonic days, and say hello to the endless things you can do in this game. There's a time trial option, puzzle building, great multiplayer support and more. The game literally lasts forever, I have had the game since its release and am still playing it regularly. After beating it the coolness lives on in the time trail mode in the utter pursuit of the great PLATINUM time. I recommend purchasing this game no matter what type of games you are into. First person action shooter fans will even like this classic!

THE Reason to Buy Neo Geo Pocket Color

I spent a whole week just deciding whether to get the neo geo pocket color or not. I fianlly bit the bullet and bought it with sonic adventure. I can easily say it's the best money I have ever spent. Sonic the game consists of six zones with 2 acts per zone. Must of the zones are ones that appeared in Sonic 2 for the Sega Genesis. The graphics are amazing. The colors and speed of the game almost match the sonic games of the Genesis. The speed sonic is knowen for is present. I guarantee you will be amazed and baffeled at how they managed to retain sonics speed on a portable system, and with absolutely no slow down what so ever. There is also a pointless but addictive part of the game where you find puzzle pieces and can later build the puzzle. Building the puzzle gives you nothing but it is fun to find the pieces. Also for replay there is a trail room where you can race in any level you have beaten, earning ranks and trying to beat your best time. The only problem with the game is thst it is on the easy side. If you have a neo geo pocket color and don't have this game go get it now! If you don't have the neo geo pocket color go and but it and sonic now!

This is a twist on the classic Sonic 2 for Sega Genesis, but this version falls a bit short compared to that great classic. Still, this is a very good game, and is a very good choice for anyone interested in videogames.
