Personally I'm not a fan of the little blue hedgehog, but hye, that's just me. But millions of other gamers can never get enough of his wild antics and side-scrolling fun-n-games.

OXCGN reviewer Ben Cadwallader spends some time getting his first experience of the little blue bugger, and lets us know what he thinks . . Slip over and check out the review, and a heap of screens that go along with it - enjoy.

Let me begin by saying that, before I played this game I had never experienced a Sonic in any form except for Smash Brothers Brawl.

Episode 1 instantly feels like a classic arcade game when it boots up, from the nasty sound track to the typical sounds of menu navigation. I selected the new game option, and immediately I appeared in the game world.

No tutorial, no information, no story. And boy, this game is a struggle to get used to, especially for me who has grown up with the Mario side of side scrollers.

I began to very slowly move across the screen, eventually Sonic began to run and then his legs turned into a motion blur mess and Sonic was flying through the level. So fast I couldn’t even see what the hell was going on.
