When you think of sega, three words normally spring to mind: blue, spikey and hedgehog. You've guessed it: sonic is back. This time it's with the sega dreamcast and in full technicolor. With a new lease of life, new friends and new baddies, sonic has certainly got his work cut out for him--in a breezy, buzzing world that shows the transfer of an old game to a new console needn't be limp. Now we are granted shots of sonic running at high speed, the calming ocean in the background and other graphical niceties. There are times when you have to be precise with the position of sonic, and after bouncing your way through numerous trampolines this it can be annoying. Still, every time our little friend turns and waves everything just seems all right. This game ranks with other titles in the genre. If you're a sonic fan, but never got around to getting this title for your collection then it certainly is a must. If however you are a slightly less devoted sega fan, then perhaps other titles such as rayman 2 that have moved the genre are most appropriate. This said, a sega console without sonic the hedgehog is like a fish without a bicycle. --stuart miles |
