The game that made Sega a household name is available for 400 points on Xbox Live Arcade. Sonic the Hedgehog was the title that made Super Nintendo owners jealous. Sure Nintendo fans had their wonderful Super Mario World but Sega threw down the gauntlet when Sonic hit store shelves. Nintendo had Mario and Sega had Sonic. The "Mascot Wars" left countless thousands in its wake.
Recent Sonic games have been absolute shit, with the exception of a few 2D titles like Sonic Rush for the DS. Playing this game now reminds us why people went nuts for the "blue blur". The game shines when Sonic runs fast. That's it. Whenever Sonic slows down and starts doing classic platforming the game and fun come to a screeching halt.
Here is a note to Sonic devs… "Sonic fast = good. Sonic slow = shit"
