  Sonic Chaos is a great 8-bit Sonic title

  By milesprower2k9 | Review Date: Jun 06, 2012 | SMS

  When people say how much they love classic Sonic games, they're normally referring to the Mega Drive/Genesis titles, what they either forget or don't realise is that while most of the 8 bit library was mediocre for Sonic... Read Full Review

  While Not Exceptionally Long Or Too Challenging, It's Still A Very Good Sonic Game.

  By 4EverGreen | Review Date: Nov 30, 2023 | GG

  Sometimes, trying to nail down the PRECISE amount of how hard and/or how long a game should be, is not always easy as some people might think it is. By normal Game Gear standards, this game probably WOULD be a game of fa... Read Full Review

  By landryneptune1 | Review Date: Jul 12, 2014 | SMS

  Sonic Chaos is way too f*cking easy to replay. One, you can beat the game in 30 minutes, I'm not f*cking kidding, in other words the perfect game you can play before your Sega Game Gear dies because of the f*cking short... Read Full Review

  Back in the days when Sonic could do no wrong, Sega released this little doozy.

  By biggayal1980 | Review Date: Apr 04, 2011 | SMS

  Nearly twenty years ago, I must have been a little more naive, because I never noticed just how flawed this game is. Nonsensical level design, dreadful slowdown, frustrating ring placement, and rather lazy animation make... Read Full Review

  Sonic Chaos Review. 5.5/10 Summer of Retro Gaming 2010

  By DaAlienMan | Review Date: Aug 29, 2010 | GG

  I just recently got the chance to play Sega Game Gear games. And so I automatically picked up the Japan version of this game titled Sonic & Tails. Because I was hoping this would be a great classic..I was wrong. The g... Read Full Review

  This game was packed with cool moves, fast paced action and also a good challenge. Not a lot of replay value here tho.

  This was where The Game Gear sonic series really took shape.

  By rexeljet | Review Date: Nov 12, 2009 | GG

  Sonic Chaos, along with Sonic Spinball, was released during the 1993 holiday season as a stocking filler to make up for the delay of Sonic 3, which they had planned to be out by around this time. While Spinball was lacki... Read Full Review

  A great title in the Sonic library, and worthy of the hedgehog's glory days.

  By ebbderelict | Review Date: Jun 29, 2009 | GG

  Sonic Chaos for the Game Gear is great little adventure with the blue hedgehog, that lives up to the console predecessors. In fact, I found this title even better than the Sonic 2 title for Sega's hand-held system, altho... Read Full Review

  Sonic Chaos introduces playable Tails to the Master System and Game Gear. But it feels odd.

  By blueblur87 | Review Date: Apr 13, 2009 | SMS

  This game is a technical leap over Sonic 2, as it introduces many new mechanics; character selection of Tails or Sonic; they both have spin dash and Sonic can now sprint-dash too, Tails can fly. Due to this alone, you wi... Read Full Review
