This review is from: Sonic R (CD-ROM)

i got this with no idea whith sonic and could not play it due to system requierments but once i got it working it was great! it has huge courses, total control, and the best music on the planet because the music has words! try to get it for saturn because i heard it was beter but the PC is the only one i played because i got it when N64 was popular. the only reason i did not give it 5 is because the controls do not work well on PC but all in all i love this game sssssssssoooooooo much that one day i spent 5 hours playing it!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sonic R (CD-ROM)

You know, when I first picked up this game, when I was about 2 years old, I was a die-hard fan, and to this day, at 13, I still am. I found this game last month, layered in dust, because I was going through "Sonic Withdrawl", and remembered how hard it was when I was 2. I hesitated at first but decided to play it again. I was blown away! With an unlockable course and 6 unlockable characters, I could'nt put it down! I already beat it and unlocked Super Sonic O.O.

This game is a MUST MUST MUST get for your Sonic die-hard fan!!!

The graphics... not exactly "awesome" but it was great for the time!

But either way; this is the ultimate Sonic PC game I've ever played.

And, if you want to give your child a "Sonic Holiday" I stongly suggest you buy Sonic CD, also, BUT Sonic CD is NOT comatible with Windows XP! (Trust me: I've tried)

Hey everybody. The first day that I picked this up and played this on the PC, I was just truley blown away. I look back on it now, and it blows me even MORE. The graphics are completley polished, it's compatible with the new Windows Xp operating system, has most EVERY Sonic character in it, such as Super Sonic and Amy, the two-player split-screen rocks, and you can even play with a friend(s) in a network! HOW COOL IS THAT!
I'm telling you, the first chance you get, BUY THIS GAME!
