The most popular new kid...er...hog on the block this year is Sonic. More than a few gamers have seen it fit to hedge their bets with the Genesis version of this smoking title. Now the SMS gamers are going to get their shot at the whole hog.
The name of the game's the same, ans so is the sotry line. Sonic's a happy go-lucky forest dude with an attitute until an evil scientist, Dr. Robotnick, turns all of Sonic's animal buddies into mechanical monsters. Now Sonic's going to use his super speed (and we really mean super-sonic speed) to whiz through multiple levels of one-player vertically and horizontally scrolling action.
Unfortunately for Sonic the evil doctor has filled Sonic's world with wild and weird obstacles -- from spike-laden chasms to heart-stopping cliffs. The land is also populated by an army of bionic creatures, all eager to pull the plug on Sonic. Unfortunate for Sonic, but totally cool for you! It's the wacky obstacles combined with Sonic's ability to race, roll, and rock like you've never seen a vid-kid do that make this title a finger-busting blast.
The good news for SMS gamers is that Sonic has been translated to perfection for the Master System. Sizzling graphics, super 8-bit speed, sharp gameplay, and siniester foes make Sonic sing... and you will too! Check out the next issue of GamePro for more on what looks to be the SMS game of the year.
