  A classic game. But I have a question; Sonic, did you gain weight?

  By Blueguy93 | Review Date: Sep 27, 2007 | GG

  This is Sonic in a exersize video (he is 206 pounds) "Okay guys, we've got to go up that loop. Push; and push; you're almost there (Sonic pants) Good job. Jump up and down. Higher! Higher! HIGHER! (Panting again)... Read Full Review

  Forgive me if I'm wrong but wasn't Sonic supposed to be quite fast?

  By CitizenOne | Review Date: Jul 23, 2007 | GG

  Sonic Blast in a few words; is the worst Sonic game I've ever played on any console. It simply doesn't live up to the Sonic name. When I first played Sonic Blast, I was surprised to see Sonic sporting a couple new mov... Read Full Review

  Not the worst sonic game ever, but far from good

  By plipplop | Review Date: Jun 21, 2018 | GG

  Sonic blast... far from the worst of the Game Gear library, but not too good either.Cons: Graphics are... interesting... but not what the Sonic series was meant to do.Sonic is extremely slow. So slow, that sometimes he m... Read Full Review

  Not 'a blast' to play

  By Ignition_jammy | Review Date: Jul 13, 2014 | GG

  Sonic Blast was the last Sonic game to be released on the Game Gear. While it was released alongside the similarly titled Sonic 3D Blast, the games are different; much like Sonic 1 and 2 were. There are two playable char... Read Full Review

  It's nothing more than a broken, unplayable mess of a game.

  By guudgidga | Review Date: Feb 06, 2010 | GG

  I can't believe people are giving this a high rating. Maybe because they just played it on mega collection and I will admit that version was improved. But I'll be covering the original game gear version. But I literally ... Read Full Review

  A decent game, but it's too short. It's the middle brother of the 5 main Game Gear titles Sonic's mug is on.

  By Cloud_765 | Review Date: Nov 11, 2009 | GG

  The Game Gear was a relatively good home for Sonic when he wasn't busy busting up Mecha Sonic or blasting through the Emerald Hill Zone. Sonic Blast, not to be confused with Sonic 3D Blast, was one of 5 different vintage... Read Full Review

  Doesn't really live up to its name that much, does it?

  By rexeljet | Review Date: Oct 28, 2009 | GG

  Blast was not a very good sonic title. It's not horrendous but at the same time not very good. It's the first and only 8-bit sonic platformer where you can play as knuckles. However, just because you can take advantag... Read Full Review

  Sonic Blast is, by far, the best sonic game on the game gear.

  By cameronrules36 | Review Date: Feb 24, 2009 | GG

  Sonic Blast is another Game gear game that I have only played within the sonic mega collection for the ps2. It is the most addictive and fun game out of all the game gear games, and it's graphics are pretty good for its ... Read Full Review

  Sonic blast is a decent game for the gamegear, but doesnt quite measure up to other titles.

  By Hiccupski | Review Date: Jun 01, 2007 | GG

  Sonic blast is a decent sonic game, but compared to other sonic legends is doesnt fit. While it was one of the first sonic games to feature knuckles, the semi 3d look doesnt feel right. The graphics are good, but the sou... Read Full Review

  While Sonic Blast is easily the greatest looking Game Gear Sonic game, it's lineancy stops it from being the most fun.

  By Dalton2K5 | Review Date: Feb 23, 2005 | GG

  With this being the first Sonic Blast review, in which I'm not surprised about, with it being a relatively rare Game Gear game, I'll try to write it to my best ability to tell you what this game is like. But, then again... Read Full Review

  Not as good as the other Sonic games on the Game Gear but still good.

  By Bocoe | Review Date: Feb 22, 2005 | GG

  This is Sonic's last game on the Game Gear. Sonic Blast is the first and last game where you can play as Knuckles (unless you want to include Sonic Drift 2). That's right Knuckles is a playable character. If you played S... Read Full Review
