Editorial Reviews:

In honor of its beloved mascot's 15th birthday, SEGA brings the game that started it all to GBA Sonic The Hedgehog. The game will feature two new additions to the classic 1991 debut, including Sonic's famous Spin-Dash move and a new save ability.


User Comments about the Sonic Hedgehog Genesis

this is celebrating the original game's 15th annaversary. wow sega, you must hate sonic. sonic genesis is a god awful piece of somthing. if it's not the glitches killing you, it' somthing else.


i can't believe you're tring to con people out of their hard earned money for this insult. and what's worse, you're tring to pass this off as the original. the music is so awful to listen to, it makes you want to rip you ear drums out. the collision detection is bad, the slow frame rate's worse, and to top it off, the game music is INSANE.


it makes me cry knowing this is based off the genesis oringinal. WTF.


I think this game cannot be called a Sonic The Hedgehog game.It's more like a Slowy the Slug-guy game.What the the heck were they thinking when they made this.Sonic had a good history on the portable systems,but this I think has destroyed his reputation.The game itself is. okay but it was redesigned for the Gameboy and the frame rate was slowed so that moving Sonic is like moving a slug.The music was also changed so that it only has the basic themes of the original.Skip this one and stick to the original.



I cant believe they somehow messed up a port of one of the greatest games ever. Im serious its bad, Ive gotten killed and crushed by absolutely nothing, thats right i wasn't even standing by anything then all of a sudden sonic just dies. the game doesn't even know whats going on some times. really this is terrible the glitches are so bad i cant get past the second level and I,ve had the game for over a year. green hill is fun but its nearly impossible to get past the second. stay away from this at all costs, if you want a fun portable sonic game try sonic advance 3.



I thought this was supposed to be a port of a classic game not some horrible movie based game. When I first bought this game at wal mart I thought I was going to have fun with it. Rather than change the backgrounds or animations to make it run more smoothly they churned it out as quickly as possible to make some quick money. Some may argue if they did that then it wouldnt be the original, but I say its much better to have a game thats playable. Well as with most GBA ports of 16 bit games this one is a huge dissapointment. If you dont the game will lose the position and you have to start all over again. First off the game lags so badly (espiecally in the scrap brain zone) that it is almost unplayable.


Trying to get all chaos emeralds in this game is almost impossible as you have to save the game BEFORE you turn it off. Even with the music and sound turned off the game will lag. The only way to somewhat make the game run faster is to turn off the music and sound effects and play with total silence. You might as well as turn off the music since it sounds so bad. Buy Sonic Mega Collection plus and stay away from this piece of garbage


My son Loves the sonic game controller that we plug into the tv so I got him this to play on his ds. I loved sonic as a child but when i tried to play the game it wasnt responding to my commands and frooze alot which made me die all the time. its annoying and almost unplayable.
