Without a doubt this game feeds all the desires I've had for a numbered Sonic sequel, though it's not without some tarnish. The bonus stages from Sonic 1 have been given a new twist Sonic 2's Casino Night gets yet another revisit Sonic 3 and Knuckles' Marble Garden and Sandopolis have seemingly been mashed together and Adventure's lock-on attacks help to smooth things out as well.

The nostalgia doesn't let up at all in the gameplay and level designs, invoking almost all of the original titles in one form or another. 16 bit junkies like myself may not necessarily stick with this new-fangled method, but it meshes well with the hectic gameplay and you'll find yourself naturally tilting the iDevice just like a controller when you were younger. However the analogue stick is perfectly reasonable, if a bit sensitive at times, but it's the tilt controls that surprised me the most as it managed to feel not only reasonable but perfectly at home in the Sonic world. right.Īnd this is no mean feat, especially for iDevices without physical inputs - a bane to all platformers trying to recapture the past glory of the 8 and 16 bit era. My reunion with the blazing blue hedgehog was a tentative one - I won't lie, I was scared I'd be burned like I was with Rush 2 - but once I dove in I was at once relieved and surprised to find that things just felt. It has been a long time coming, but Sonic The Hedgehog finally feels like it has come back home.
