Sega's Sonic on PC

Gosh guys I was so psyched to hear that Sonic was finally available on PC in the Dreamcast Collection. The Dreamcast Collection features Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5 Part 2, Adventures of Sonic and some fishing game I didn't give a shit about. First thing to try was Sonic of course because as you all know, I used to have a Dreamcast and it just drove me insane when it broke and I couldn't play my favorite games anymore ..... *sigh* Anyhow, as I was starting Sonic, I instantly recognized the set-up and realized that it was THE exact game I used to have on Dreamcast and love :-D so hooooray to that!

Sonic and Tails


 Let me just tell you that I now know why Sonic was a game on the console. The keyboard is just crap for such a game reminding me once again how badly I need a gamepad. The keys are simple: direction keys are the arrows and the typical S button for action and everything else. The camera is what bothers me the most because you have to manually adjust it.



I also noticed that they have actually added a few levels and places you can go to, which is really cool AAAAAANDDD they kept the CHAO'S!!! FYI: Chaos are adorable little creatures in Sonics world that can be raised, fed and played. You can morph them with little animals that you gain during the action levels and you can feed them special food to make them stronger. You can also make them compete in races and breed them to get colorful new variations of Chaos. The whole Chao concept im sure, is just a strategy to attract girls to the game, but it sure is working.














The graphics are the same old Sega graphic and you actually have to adjust your resolution so that you will be able to play in full screen modus. Overal the game is a good reminder of where gaming came from and I love the simple game play and it is just an epic adventure that might not be continued on another platform in the future.
