This was the first Game Gear game I've ever owned or played. It came packaged with my Game Gear when I bought it back in '92. I traded it in to Nofunland in '94 because it was too hard for me then. But just last week I saw it on eBay for five bucks and thought, "Wow, I remember this game! I couldn't even beat this first boss when I had it! I need closure in my life. I should buy this again; I'll be able to beat the entire game now after all the gaming experience I've gained sense then!" But I was wrong. This game is as rotten as it was back then. Some things never change.<BR><BR>The storyline differs a little bit from the Genesis version. Instead of Robotnik making a doomsday machine to destroy the planet, he has kidnapped Sonic's annoying little friend Tails and holds him for ransom. If you want Tails back, you'll have to collect all six of the Chaos Emeralds and give them to Robuttnik. <BR><BR>Game Play:3<BR>Sonic runs way too fast to control him properly.<BR>And maybe it's just me but I think he jumps lower then he jumps in any other handheld Sonic game. He also slides alot when you try to run in the other direction.<BR><BR>Graphics:8<BR>These are some of the best graphics I've seen for GG. Sonic's spikes are a little more lightish blue then in most of his game.<BR><BR>Music:5<BR>I have never gotten past the second world so I've only heard that song and the first level's one. Of the two I like the first one best; it reminds me of Gambits theme from Spiderman X-Men for SNES.<BR><BR>Difficulty:10<BR>This is the most hardest and aggravating GG game I have ever played. It's WAY too hard. <BR><BR>Originality:4<BR>The whole plot where you have to save somebody like a friend or a princess has been done SO many times before. Couldn't they just have taken time to think of something else?<BR><BR>Overall Rating:3<BR>No wonder I had no problem finding this game on eBay. It stinks!!! I'd say there was about 100 others up there for auction at the same time as mine. Don't pay over $5.00 bucks for it. And for you morons that went to Ames and bought it for $19.99 when they re-released it, you have my pity. <BR>In fact, I'm going to go destroy this game by first submerging it into gasoline and then dropping a lighted match upon it. "Whoa! The Flames are growing higher! Higher! Muuuuhahahahaaa!!! This piece of garbage is no more! Now that that's over, I'm going to go play with He-Man & Skeletor."<BR><BR>
