This review is from: Sonic Classics: Sonic the Hedgehog / Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine / Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Video Game)

Welp. This is a 3-in-1 Genesis cartridge. So I will combine 3 of my reviews to show how good the Sonic games containted are.

Sonic 1 Review:
Sonic has hit a major speed bump the past half-decade, but before that half-decade, he was on fire! Starting in 1991, the blue blur's first outing was one of his best. As Sonic, you go through 6 zones in high-speed action while tracking down a fat evildoer named Dr. Robotnik! The controls were pretty simple: You use a D-pad and a button to play. The graphics were full of 16-bit awesomism. The sounds and music were top-notch. The main challenge in the game, however, is not the difficulty in the zones as you progress through them, but instead, they are the Special Stages, in which you must finish an act with over 50 rings to access them. Then, in the Special Stages, you must guide yourself carefully to the Chaos Emeralds.

Sonic's first hit was a blast. If you like Sonic games, especially the retro Sonics, give this a shot if you haven't played this one before.

Sonic 2 Review:
If you enjoyed the first Sonic, you'll get a major kick out of its sequel. While we all know we get to play as Sonic, there's a new kid in town, and he helps Sonic in his second outing. Tails is supposed to be Sonic's sidekick. Characters aside, let's talk about the gameplay. The gameplay is identical to Sonic 1's, but with several differences going on in-game.
1. The spin dash move is introduced
2. 7 full zones with 3 1-act ones.
3. Tails
4. Different Special Stages

The special stages are entirely different from the first game. Now you must run through a halfpipe, collecting rings to get Chaos Emeralds. However, this is easier said than done. The sound and music are, once again, excellent. The graphics are also great, as they are an improvement of Sonic 1's.

Overall, the game is awesome and challenging. This is the Sonic game all fans should get.

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine:
DRMBM is actually a puzzle game rather than your average platformer. It's actually based off of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog show and it is probably the only game to be.

The main game is connecting 3 of the same color. It's Puyo Puyo but with an American Sonic theme. There's a VS mode, a Training mode (Which is like playing solo in Tetris), and a Story mode that pits you against Dr. Robotnik's half-baked robots.

The Game Over screen is pretty funny. During the countdown time for you to continue, Dr. Robotnik dances and taunts during the whole countdown. At the near end of it, he laughs evilly.

The puzzling gameplay is pretty addicting, and it is still a fun game to this day.

So there you go. These reviews explain the greatness of the Sonic games in this collection.
