SONIC BOOM, SONIC BOOM, SONIC BOOM!!!
Another instant classic released by Sega, itsone of those retro games you cannot put down...similaly designed to its previous two releases (namely Sonic 1 and 2) Sonic still has that cool as a cucumber approach and appearance, with all the awe-inspiring background graphics....only this time there is a tremendous sound track to accompany each stage/act (the first ever Sonic game to host the loveable guitar, bass, keyboard etc mixture) as well as a large variety of acts for each of the seven levels, as you warp back and forth in time.... Again, similarly to Sonic R, I have often found myself listening to the soundtracks of the game on my CD player, even though the majority of them last for about 2-3 minutes, my personal favourites are those for the zones Palmtree Panic, Quartz Quadrant, Stardust Speedway and Metallic Madness....although the theme tune (the longest track, about 5 minutes should we say?) is not really my cup of tea, when compared to those in Sonic R...but hey, you get used to it...but I wouldnt reccomend listening to it everyday!!!!
The way the levels are laid out is quite good too...you start off with relatively easy, sight-seeing kind of bliss, but when you begin to realise there are contraptions and enemies galore, you understand just how serious Dr Robotnik was in trying to take over Mobius in this chapter of Sonics' life....
This is a really good game...although the graphics of Sonic, Amy, Metal Sonic and Robotnik are not as polished as the enemies, you do not really focus on this when playing the game...it is so awe-inspiring...oh and did I tell you about the unlocable you can get??? I still ahvent found those, but, as the manul says, you have to meet ceratin objectives to unlock the tracks, movies, etc. Oh, and of course, there is the Chaos Emerald bonus stage that any Sonic game would be incomplete without!!!! GO GET IT!!!!
