"Not a bad Sonic for the Neo-Geo Pocket!!!"

I didn't feel like wasting my money on a Neo-Geo pocket so I borrowed my friends. All he had for games was a stupid dragon card game and Sonic Pocket Adventure so I was like cool another sonic game. I ran back to my house and played the game the sound and graphics were good I mean they were better than Gameboy Color. The graphics were clear and had good color and very detailed they game was fluent of course. The sound was nothing too special you know more funky sonic music. The story is the same which made me sort of angry I mean it is Sonic the Hedgehog for the Neo-Geo Pocket I thought it would be unique have some new characters or include some from the Dreamcast but they didn't you know just have something cool, but it was nothing which made the game seem lame to me. The gameplay is like any other Sonic game its 2D platform game you a blue hedgehog and you got to save your buddies from Dr. Robotics and collect the chaos emeralds that he takes away. The controls are nice because Sonic is not hard to maneuver around because there is not that many buttons. The replay is bad because the game gets incredibly boring. This is a good game if you have the Neo-Geo Pocket color or if your a sonic fan download the ROM. But other than that it is not too exciting unless you have never played Sonic before. It might be exciting for you because I have played all the sonic games.

Graphics 9 (These graphics are excellent for the Neo Geo they are detailed and fluent with a whole lot of color)

Sound 8 (The sound is all right you cannot expect top notch sound from a portable system)

Story 6 (A normal average sonic story don't expect anything new)

Replay 7 (I borrowed this over a month belive me you will get sick of this game but if you are going on a long trip its not bad to play in the car)

Gameplay 7 (You know how the sonic games are , 2D platforms with simple basic controls you run threw levels and collect rings if you get 100 rings you gain a life ''pretty basic HUH'')

Overall 7 (Its on e of the best games for the Neo-Geo Pocket but if you don't have a Neo-Geo pocket you could always download the emulator or ROM)
