Advantages: enjoyable

Disadvantages: repetitive

Sonic the hedgehog, was the original game for the megadrive, it had all the graphics of a good game, well at the time it had. It had the appeal of a good game, and it was really cool.

It consisted of several levels, each containing three zones, which were full of enemies and hazards for sonic to run into. At the end of the third zone of each level you got to fight the evil Doctor Robotnik, who used to be sonic's friend known as Professor Kintobor until a terrible accident changed to the side of evil. Known as the dark side in some of today's games and films. (Star Wars)
Since this accident, Doctor Robotnik started capturing the friendly animals, which were sonic's friends. So sonic got mad and decided to set things right. He starts of at the easiest zones and moves onto zones, which are gradually harder. My favourite zone, known as the starlight zone, this zone is the best with the best music and the most entertaining levels and enemies. The boss at this level is a flying spaceship, which drops bombs onto a set of seesaws. The aim is to hit the spaceship with the bombs that he drops.

The game is filled with a variety of music, which after a while can get a bit repetitive, and annoying. During the zones you collect rings, which sonic must have to survive, he can withstand one hit when he has rings, but dies when he is hit when he has no rings. If sonic collects 50 rings, and jumps into the giant ring at the end of the zone, he gets transported to a bonus level were he can collect the famous chaos emeralds. These don't really have a point in the game, but are fun to collect.
Although this game is quite old, and I hardly ever play it now. It still deserves some respect, because it was the origin of some to today's games

Summary: old but good
