Sega's Classic Sonic The Hedgehog Released For iPhone
May 21, 2009
Sonic the Hedgehog for the iPhone isn't a remake, it's actually a direct port of the original that was released in June 1991. Sonic the Hedgehog features all of the great 2D action you would expect, including all seven classic zones like Green Hill and Labyrinth, and the game also features all of the special stages. You can play in full screen mode or the classic arcade mode as well. Sonic is controlled by the usual on-screen d-pad and a single jump button.
Judging from early user reviews, this iPhone port of Sonic the Hedgehog looks and feels just as it did in the early '90s. The only downside seems to be that the port may have been rushed because the framerate is said to be extremely inconsistent. If you are a fan of the little blue hedgehog, however, don't be afraid to give this one a purchase because there is little doubt that Sega will do their best to optimize the game through updates to smooth out the framerate.
Sonic the Hedgehog is available at the App Store for $5.99.
Do any of you have some fond memories of Sonic the Hedgehog from back in the day that you would like to share with everyone?
