Cheap Kills and High Speed Thrills.

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.
The high-speed hedgehog awaits you . . . .
