when i was young before Xbox and psone was invented my and my family used to play the Sega genesis all the time. like most people who own a genesis would say that one of the sonic games is their favorite game. for my family sonic spinball is the favorite. the game never gets old and is very challenging. overall i give it a ten out of ten

About the gameplay: I'm not really sure what the point of this game is, but it is still pretty fun for a few minutes here and there. It is similar to a Pinball machine game, except that you are trying to progress through a level(s) by accomplishing tasks that are not made very clear at all. It seems like there is too much luck involved to make it a legit game, sometimes you will spin into the toxic lava stuff and there's nothing you could've done to prevent it. It also seems pretty random whether or not you hit the things that allow you to progress. Replay value is pretty low.
Otherwise: The graphics are pretty terrible, probably at or below par with Sonic 1. The sound is kinda cool but pretty repetitive. The controls are simple like all Genesis games.

Sonic fans, pinball fans, and collectors rejoice; everyone else stay away.

This is one of my favorite games from when I was younger, it does frustrate some people I know though and it can sometimes take a good deal of time to finish and if i remember correctly it does no let you save the game. I got the game shortly after it came out on the genesis, when you play multiplayer you take turns so it may frustrate your kids if you try to play multiplayer with them.

My son was very happy with the performance of this game, glad to be able to find the original game for him.

This game is the best pinball videogame there is, it can not get better than this. I would recommend playing this game instead of the new Sonic games, and it's really fun, even if you can't beat it. I'm not even close to beating it, but I still love it. If you don't have a Genesis, get Sonic Mega Collection Plus for your PS2, it's in there.

This game is very frustrating I used to play it on the original sega genesis and It was not very fun. My brother almost beat this game however if you want to play this game the mega sonic collection plus has this game it's still frustrating.
