One of the best games for Neo Geo Pocket Color!

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.

An awesome handheld experience!

This game is so cool! I bought A New Neo Geo Pocket system just so that I could buy this, and I'm glad I did! Sonic Pocket adventure is kinda like Sonic 2( for the sega genesis.)However, this is much more than just a simple re-make of sonic 2! The levels are designed completely different in this game, and The bosses are completely different( In this game you even get to fight Knuckles!, but this time he seems too be much harder than before..) The Music is very good, and is mainly from Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles! The bosses are harder this time than when they were on Sonic 2, and it is easier to die in this game, than in most other sonic games. I really like the fact that when you beat an act or a Zone, it saves your progress, so if you die, you can start again at the level you died at.If you beat an act with at least 50 rings you can go to the special stages and Collect Chaos emeralds.So far I have collected three emeralds. Even though I beat this game In just a couple hours I still think that this game is awesome, really fun, and challenging.( note: I beat it with the Save option.) One awesome feature of this game is the "Mystery Photos"- the puzzles. There are small puzzle pieces hidden throughout the whole game. Some are difficult to find and some aren't. There are several different photos that you can make with the collected puzzle pieces. I have made one so far of Sonic The Hedgehog!Once You complete a photo, it turns into a colored photo! This game also has a time trial mode, which lets you try to beat your high score record(s). Once You complete an act, they rate you depending on your speed, so you can know how fast you really are!

Buy This game!, Trust me! It's awesome! Much better than Sonic advance will ever be...

Sonic ROCKS!

sonic pocket is an awesome game..the only REAL "adventure" sonic game(besides sonic adventure and sonic adventure 2 on dreamcast). my friend owns this game..and i play it all the time, the only bad thing about it, is that it is never available!! (and that this is the cheapest place that has it..so u don't wanna get it anywhere else)

Great game

If you've played the game boy advance version of sonic and then this one, you will notice that they have basically the same levels. Even the same bosses! The levels are designed differently but you can deffinetely see where sonic team got their ideas for sonic advance. Real creative huh. The "Sega" voice at the beginning brings me back to my genesis days filled with my beloved sonic games. The sound is pretty good and they included the famous end of stage music. The bonus stage is where you run through a quasi 3D slide thing and try to collect rings and avoid the obstacles. Since this came out far bafore sonic advance it deserves all of the credit. The graphics are superior as far as the neo geo pocket and gameboy color are concerned. If you still own a neo geo pocket color(geeze too many words in that name) This is one game that you should not not live without. I recently bought a new NGPC ... and just love playing sonic while traveling and during boring classes. Pick this one up before they're all gone. You won't regret it.

A very fun game!

Sonic pocket adventure is an awesome game.Anybody with a Neo Geo pocket should definately buy this game! Its levels are from sonic two( except Oil ocean zone, Hill top zone, and that cool cave zone, have all been excluded.)The level layouts are completely different this time. All though the backgrounds look the same, everything is designed differently and has different music( some of the music is from sonic 3 and sonic&Knuckles.)The bosses in this game are all brand new and are not the sonic 2 bosses. This game has a very cool feature where you search for little yellow puzzle pieces throughout the game, and try to put all the correct pieces together to try and make a complete puzzzle(there are several different puzzles)Although this game is sort of short, it is very fun to play many times( sonic games are always that way) and it is also very fun, looking for puzzle pieces. One of my favorie levels are Sky Chase zone-where you stand on a little airplane that tails(your friend)flies, and then jump on enemies( Iv'e always liked the little round guy that shoots down little spike balls with the spinning rotor on his head.) My other favorite level is The Cosmic Casino zone. I really like the background and good music, and it's very fun to go in the slot machine and get rings that way.

All in all, Sonic pocket adventure is a must have for anybody with a neogeo! Although its not as good as the original sonic 2 for genesis, it is still really good, and brings back many old memories.

This classic game is as great on as it was on Genesis on the Neo Geo Pocket. The graphics are awesome for a portable game system and the game playing is just as responsive as it was on Genesis. Collecting everything in this game makes its replay value better than many portable games. If you have a Neo Geo Pocket you must get this game.

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.
