This is actually real, that's what I see from most people: Sonic 1 - Meh Sonic 2 - Great Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Great This actually bothers me, as I consider Sonic 1 Good, not Great as the others surpassed it, but people seem to hate the first game, as it does not have a Spindash and Super Sonic or Tails & Knuckles (all added in the remasters)

I've never heard anyone criticise sonic the hedgehog. Well unless you mean the modern games in general, but that's fair critisicm because they weren't a patch on the mega drive titles. I've never heard anyone criticise the og mega drive games, in fact nothing but universal praise. Which they deserve because they're timeless. Personally I think they're far more impressive for their time than the Mario games, sonic had speed Mario was just a super well made platform game didn't do anything special, wasn't revolutionary in any way. Great all the same. I remember when sonic first came out, coming back to school after Christmas holidays... It was the only thing people were talking about, this new sonic thing I'd never heard of. That was in the uk though mega drive was alot more successful there

I don't think it has to do with a bandwagon mentality. It has to do with an abundance of terrible games. Ever since its awkward transition to 3D, the Sonic franchise has always struggled to really find its identity. There have been a variety of titles with hugely differing atmospheres, stories, and mechanics. And of these, only a very small handful have been successful while the others have ranged from below-average to absolute garbage.

I agree 100%. I went back and played through this game last December and finally beat it with all the emeralds. Very satisfying. As an adult, you quickly realize where you cannot rush through or you will be punished. Now it was a lot easier to get the emeralds and get through the game. On that last stage, with the flipping platforms (6-1?), I try to jump so that when I land, the platforms will have JUST stopped flipping and I can walk on them and jump again when they will flip again. Although, doing so while getting the timing of the flame is NOT easy, it works for me.

Hi. Just started watching you recently and I enjoy your in depth analysis of these games. I will say I disagree with you on the whole unlimited continue thing. While a lot of games that are more trial and error should include them, this is a game that does continues perfectly. Receiving damage is not as permanent as in most games, and you can use the rings to gain both extra lives and continues. The game with its large levels with hidden goodies emphasizes repeat gameplay. First time players will have to restart a few times before beating the game, but still have incentive to keep playing to get the 2nd ending. Some games do limited continues very well. Also, the spike damage is a glitch. For the first rerelease (Sonic Jam on Saturn) as well as most rereleases after they have an option to fix this.
@Lytane7 жыл бұрын
Great review with a lot of fair points on the game though I will say that Labyrinth Zone can suck it until the end of days. I find the first game to be too slow for what was promised, where Green Hill is fast and free most of the levels after that feel slow and focus more about the platforming and you don't get that same sense of freedom again. I also did a review on this game as one of my first videos. It's a little rough but I stand by what I say in it, check it out if you have the time. I too think that the secret ending is pretty crummy for all the work you had to put into the game though but even having 2 different endings to a platformer was pretty uncommon for the time so I'm just glad they did it.

I hear people complain often that the original game isn't good because you can't go fast much. But they're missing the point. Sonic the Hedgehog is an incredibly fun and accessible platformer, and an important game that shook up the platforming genre upon release. You wanna teach anybody who hasn't gotten into the series yet what Sonic is all about, this is still the game to show them. Speedrunning, platforming, physics, water levels, spectacle and speed, good level design (mostly) and a good difficulty progression testing player skill, all get taught to the player in each zone. Sonic the Hedgehog is indeed still a good game, whether your favourite game is Sonic 3 or Sonic Adventure, the deserved respect this game got in 1991 still stands today
@kero2326 жыл бұрын
The game gameplay (I mean speed) is surpassed by the later games, but what I find in this game, and never dies: its identity, as I would call it. There is a very pleasant feeling about the levels, and I particulary say the OST is quite unique, a total J-pop squee, which later games do not precisely have. It has its own charm. so yeah, it's not a game I would replay because of a genuine "oo this was so fun!! I want to try it again!!", but is a game I greatly praise. kind of. Again: its own charms

The problem with your comment is that you are ranking Sonic games higher than the first title. As the beginning of the series Sonic 1 still stands up. Yeah Sonic 2 was Sonic 1 but much better because it incorporated the Spin Dash and Sonic 3 went even further with the insta-shield along with Sonic's abilities with the elemental shields, Sonic 1 still stands up to this day. It's a game where it all began and overtime it still doesn't suck. I also don't get the hate for Labyrinth Zone. Yeah it's not a speed level by any means but there are much worse water levels out there and actually if Sonic had the Spin Dash in Sonic 1, Labyrinth would have been a non-issue. In fact Hydrocity is objectively a harder water level with far more traps and enemies. Imagine using Sonic 1 "Sonic" in Hydrocity, people wouldn't call it one of their favorite levels.
@hypermonkeybird49457 жыл бұрын
Labyrinth is not a "non-issue" with the spindash, as seen in several romhacks and the mobile remaster of the game, which has the spindash. Unlike Hydrocity, the stage is not based around speedy exploration and platforming. Labyrinth is based entirely on waiting. Waiting for bubbles, waiting for spike balls to move, waiting for spikes to go back into the ground. Adding the spindash may make the small breathers take less time but it doesn't fix the main problem which is the entire stage being based on standing still and waiting for things to move. Hydrocity, however is based around Sonic's speed. If you are skilled enough in avoiding enemies and traversing the obstacles such as spikes and air currents(?) that push you upwards, you will never have to wait for an air bubble. The water shield is not needed to make air bubbles obsolete. There are several secrets you can find, and while Labyrinth has the occasional secret, Hydrocity encourages you to make use of the level design and physics to find Special Rings, invincibility boxes, and alternate pathways. You do not need the spindash, insta-shield, or elemental shields to go through Hydrocity with ease. Admittedly, Hydrocity is a bit slower without use of the spindash as you will have to build up some speed to go around the loops, but speed is not hard to get. You can easily get through Hydrocity with just basic movement and rolling. However, neither is the perfect water level. Aquatic Ruins is the best in my opinion, as if you are familiar enough with the level design and skilled enough, you can keep out of the water entirely. I've never personally done it, but I've stayed out of the water for a large portion of the stage.

When I reviewed this game of my secondary channel back in 2015 I may have used some nostalgia goggles to be honest. I did try to be fair with my review but I think you knocked out the park with this one. The one thing I just don't like from this game is the fourth boss. It might as well just be part of the level. It shouldn't be a boss at all. You're not fighting him at all. I also think that issue with the invincibility frames and the spikes was not meant to be in this game and they messed up on there. In later releases of soft the hedgehog such as the one that I commonly played since the 2000s which was on Sonic mayor collection for GameCube they fixed that issue with the spike so clearly that wasn't meant to be in the game.

I subsequently picked up a Master System and MegaDrive (Genesis) but the Sonic experiences on the big screen just didn't feel the same as those great handheld sessions. To this day, I still much prefer the slightly slower, more platformy feel of 8bit Sonic to the 16bit games.

The only thing I dislike about this game is the lack of continues... I don't mind trial and error to an extent, but having to replay the entire game after dying in the last stage just seems unnecessary and creates a feeling of tedious, repetitive gameplay rather than a feeling of real, but fair, challenge. I'm honestly glad that limited continues are largely a thing of the past and honestly, it's my only reason for not completing a lot of these old sonic games. I enjoy, them, but don't have the patience to replay certain levels in their entirety several times just to complete the game once. While some levels are fun to master, overall it gets boring and frustrating, which are two things I never want a game to be. Tight gameplay is certainly present in these old games and it's astounding how well it has held up, but the lack of continues is just something I can't seem to see past.

Overall, I'd say that it's aged better than the original arcade Mario Bros., but not as well as Super Mario Bros.. It is obviously more technically advanced than either in several ways, but in terms of quality I think that's where it falls.

I feel like most of this is fair. And I'm not going to deny the cheapness of some things throughout the game. That's common in a lot of games as it's nearly impossible to be perfect. I just sorta disagree with some of what's being considered "cheap" simply because it's challenging, such as the Special Stage. It makes perfect sense to me to have an exit you must avoid at least in each area or else what's the point?
@implantgames7 жыл бұрын
The exit makes perfect sense. It the lack of control while spinning around that is the problem. Gunstar Heroes probably best exemplifies how to create an awesome challenge without resorting to questionable level design, sloppy enemy placement, or buggered controls to test the player's skill.

Everybody hates Labyrinth but the only bad part is the boss which is way too much of a difficultly spike. Marble Zone is the real culprit. It stinks.

My advice to newcomers to the Sonic series is to just skip Sonic 1 and play either 2 or 3. Both games improve on the original in every way possible.

Really? The Genesis / Mega Drive games are generally regarded as excellent, along with Sonic CD on the Sega CD. The Sonic Advance games on the Gameboy Advance are also well regarded, as is Sonic Rush on the 3DS. Basically, the 2D Sonic games are good, and most (but not all) of the 3D Sonic games are poor.

The first Sonic on the Mega Drive wasn't that good. It always felt more of a "look at our Blast Processing" Tech Demo to me. Bland level design, horrible bonus stages. I always prefered Sonic 1 on the Master System, which felt more like an actual game. Sonic 2, 3 and Knuckles on the MD are awesome though.

Sonic 1 is probably my least favorite of the original trilogy with Sonic 2 being my 2nd favorite and Sonic 3&K being my definite favorite (it's definitely in my top 5 sonic games). That being said, Sonic 1 is still a solid game and is by no means bad.

@yohkom.79887 жыл бұрын
In some retarded circles then. More likely some sad PC Engine, Amiga and SNES fanboys because the Genesis was directly competiting with these systems and kicked all kind of asses while none of these systems were competiting each others. A tough spot for Sega's console and it handled it perfectly. Now if only the Saturn did as good as the Genesis... (it still did much better than the Amiga CD32 or NEC PC-FX).
