Those refreshing introductions don't modernize the character designs (notably Amy Rose) and instead stick to classic Sonic in a way only a studio who loves the IP can really pull off.Īnd then you get to the games in glorious high-def, playing just as well as ever.
The aforementioned cutscenes introducing each game come in that classic Sonic style, recalling the "Sonic" cartoon (most famous for Sonic Sez), as well as "Sonic Underground" from back in the Blue Blurs heyday. I owned many of these on this weird CD collection I got from a Costco back in the very early 2000's and I played the heck out of them. Getting to return to these games was a shot of nostalgia.

Sonic was a game series that a much younger, much less critical me ate up even at one point I enjoyed "Shadow the Hedgehog". Sean Newgent: You're talking to a man who played his fair share of the original Sonic the Hedgehog games back in the day. I also appreciated the lengthy anime-style cut scenes that introduce the games and bridge the levels. It was a joy to play through the games and collect the artwork and videos to populate the museum. While it was nice to have the classic versions available, I am all in on the new, "Anniversary Mode" re-dos that make the games look and play a lot more smoothly. The difficulty ramp-up is tremendous, with the early levels going by like a breeze before your reflexes are taxed to the maximum. The sheer speed and joy that come with the platforming holds up remarkably well. It had been years since I had played any of the classic "Sonic" games, so I came in with fairly fresh eyes.
Phil Villarreal: Growing up as a Nintendo fanboy who took decades to grudgingly come to love the Sonic games, it feels refreshing and vivid to experience these games for the first time on a 4K TV. The old version of the games are pixel-perfect recreations with the old CRT-friendly aspect ratios, while the new versions maintain the spirit of the old look with some modern enhancements. Included in the package are retro and revamped versions of "Sonic the Hedgehog" (1991), "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" (1992), "Sonic CD" (1993) and "Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles" (1994). (KGUN) - Attempting to capitalize on the newfound Sonic the Hedgehog popularity following two blockbuster movies, "Sonic Origins" brings back four of the hero's first adventures.
