Review by Clement Chan -
The first Sonic racing game
appears for the Game Gear and you have to jump up and down with
joy. But, let's look at the ratings and you can decide whether to
buy it or not.
Graphics - 7
I don't know what to say. The graphics should show better on the
Game Gear that it surprises me a little to see the quality
compared to other Sonic Game Gear games. It's colourful and have
good animations and backgrounds but it could be better. The cars
are not really well done and they look like funny machines but,
maybe it's just me.
Music - 9
The music is strange but it's quite nice to listen it as if it
has its own 'adventure', like some kind of background music
without stopping, replay itself every time. The great sound
effects are really good, after the poor graphics.
Gameplay - 9
Considering it a little, it is really fun and you have four
characters to choose from, Sonic (of course), Tails, Dr. Robotnik
and Amy. Each of them has their own abilities and they really
helped out in certain ways. There are several tracks you can race
on and the main point is to reach the goal, as other racing
games. There are also items on the tracks such as rings and
others to get. As usual, you have to win the Chaos Emeralds from
the race.
Replayability - 7
It could be real bore later on, when you win all the races and
master the whole game and if you're good, you can finish the game
in one day!
Overall - 8
It's quite good, since it's just the first Sonic racing game and
also, in the Game Gear. As I say, it could be more challenging
and more fun if possible. Count out the graphics, the sounds and
gameplay are really good and you can consider to buy it if you
want.
