When i found out that Sonic first game is coming out for GBA. I was happy because i want to experince the way my older brother enjoy this game when he was a kid. I read games spot review about this game. they gave it a 2.5 and i was kinda shocked about it. so i buy the game and starded playing it. The first thing that intrest me about this game was it still had that same old school title screen were you heard SEGA. The title menu was the same and there were these 2 diferrent modes in it. Aniversery mode and original mode. I went to Aniversery mode. And i just notice the only difference between the two modes is that you can only spin dash in anniversery. Whats the point of putting two modes in the game if anniversery has spin dash and thats the difference. Who would pick original mode if you can have another ability in anniversery mode. The first level is green hill zone. its easy and its good for a first level. But when i got to Marbel zone and other levels. i was about to break my GBA in half. This game is so hard. its for kids. why make it so hard. Marbel zone has these sifting lands and lavas that shoot up in the air. The lava wasnt hard but when you go underground in marbel zone there are a lot of things from the celling tring to crush you in any way. Eggman wasnt even harder than the level itself. Spring yard zone was anyoing. The springs bounces you back to an enemy or spikes. And you have to have the right timing when you are in the middle of floating blocks or you will get crushed. After that you have laberinth zone which i left of because i am sick of this stupid game! I just dont feel like telling you about this zone. I try to beat it but it was way to hard. i only go up to act 3 in this zone. This is supposed to be for kids! Im 14 years old and i was having trouble with the second level. Dang. And you really want to know what really grinds my gears about this game. Sonic is slower than usual. The game gets slower when he go fast. How can it not keep up with sonics slow speed he is supposed to be fast. The only reason why i keep this game is because my little sister likes it. To bad see cant beat eggman in green hill zone. This wasnt the classic i wasnt looking for. its a rip off. A waste of 20$. I will just play the first sonic game on my computer or wheni will get Wii. If you are a Sonic fan and you have a game boy advance or DS. Buy sonic advance and stay far away from this game. Please.
