I walked into Gamestop and saw that they are having a sale on various games. Sonic the Hedgehog or GBA is one of the games on sale. DO NOT BUY IT!! I dont care how much of a Sonic fan you are, this game is practically unplayable. It could not have been play tested. I'm so mad at myself for not reading the review here first.

First off, I couldn't do the Up, down, left, right world select trick. That bummed me out right off the bat. The the music sounds like a fan emulated Midi file. In other words horrible. Then the gameplay.........woooooo..*sighs* the frame rate is so jerky and mixed up it's crazy. one minute you're going like normal. The next, it's like a invisible wall is blocking you. Then right when you're infront of a lava pit or spike bed, Poof!! He speeds up and you go diving in head first.

Just wanted to warn some you Sonic fans before you go shopping.

Sonic has many games on GBA, you need to specify which game you're talking about.

I didn't buy the Genesis/Megadrive version of Sonic the Hedgehog on the GBA because I already had it for the Gamecube as part of a collection and secondly it never came out in the UK.

I later heard that the game wasn't so great because of the patchy frame rate, sound issues....

Any of the Sonic Advance games however on the GBA are decent and are a much better buy.

The title says, "Sonic the Hedgehog". As in Sonic 1 (Genesis original). It has messed up controlls, F'd up frame rate, poor sound, blah blah that was mentioned.

I bought the game and it is garbage but the sad thing is that my Gamestop doesn't sell it anymore. I have the Sega Genesis Collection/Sonic Mega Collection which are much better.
