The very first Sonic game remains one of Sonic Team's finest moments. It's not my favourite Sonic game, but it's one of them. The game is easy to pic up, fun to play at ALL times, though being quite difficult at times. It does not take all that long to get through the six zones, collecting the emeralds from the special stages on the way. There is still a lot of reply value as the game is, and will always be, a classic.
The graphics, at the game's release were amazing. So smooth and fast. The music is really catchy and fits the game well.
Highlights of the game are the boss stages, accompanied by excellent music. This game has loads of charm, and continually succeeds where many fail.
I can't actually fault this game. My only gripe, and it's a small one, was that the forth zone, the underwater one, is quite a jump in difficulty, and has a very tricky boss.
Do yourself a favour if you don't have this game and get it. It's available on practically all current systems.
