  • IGN have a bit of a reputation when it comes to Sonic, but I'm not going to be focussing on that today. Instead, I'm going to look at a Sonic game which IGN themselves have labelled a masterpiece. Is Sonic Pocket Adventure as good as IGN says?

    ....honestly pocket adventure is actually a pretty damn good game, sonic 2 blood be damned.
    Special stages kinda jank, super sonic is locked behind the final boss, but honestly the puzzle pieces and the original layouts in not chemical plant act 2 is actually pretty interesting.
    The dimps pit issue is heavy yes, but this game has some genuinely clever ways to keep you into the upper path, like using loopdeloops to keep the upper area and even the "sky chase" section cuts a lot of the fat, which is welcome because _dear god_ every sky chase I've ever seen is _overblown_

      What??
      It has the basic good and bad ending depending if you can collect all 7 chaos emeralds(the last being in Eggman's boss makes it clever)
      It also has puzzle pieces scattered around in every level that you can find and collect and make 6 different pictures with it. And if you do that(for 3 completed pictures you unlock the sound test) you unlock a special stage rush mode where you have to complete every special stage in one go. Basically that's 100%
      And you can also play time trial and get P on every level which in this game is Platinum. You can also play 2 player mode with friend.
      I think for a Neo Geo Pocket or handheld game in general before the GBA it has plenty of replayability. The graphics are also really nice to look at.
      It's not 10/10 because it's the best Sonic game but because it!s one of the best games on the handheld.
      I will never understand why we have to compare a console game to a handheld one.

      @@SansINess53 and i meant collecting hidden pieces in levels was new for the franchise in 1999. It was later years when they really started using it more frequently like Chao hunt in Sonic Advance 3(but that was needed for the true ending) or the gold keys in Shadow the Hedgehog. I could say the prototype for this feature was the emblem hunt in Sonic Adventure but it was used it differently.

    I remember playing this as a kid in an emulator two decades ago, just before UA-cam became a thing.
    Silly me needed UA-cam to see that it's really just Sonic 2 with some 3&K elements but for me personally, Pocket Adventure was still lots of fun.
    The smooth animations are just gorgeous and the music sounds really good for an 8bit system.

    Buddy, both of these make the exact same amount of sense (except for the part that doesn’t, which is all of it)
    Edit: Now that I think about it, since Sonic is the only playable character in this game, it makes sense that IGN thinks this is peak Sonic 🤣🤣🤣

    This game has great graphics,solid sound,medium length and a lot of replayability thanks to the puzzle pieces and the chaos emeralds in general. Even if you found all puzzle piece and put em together,the challenge still won't end because you will unlock Special Stage rush mode where you have to complete all special stage in one go. Also you can challenge yourself in time trial and get platinum in every level.
    This game is not 10/10 because it's the greatest Sonic game but because it's one of the best games on the handheld.
    Please stop compare console games with handheld and old games with new ones. It's not a fair comparison. If you want to test out how good this game is,play at least 10 more or so Neo Geo Pocket game. I'm sure that IGN dude(Craig) did back in the day.

      At the time, Sonic Pocket Adventure scratched that Genesis-era playstyle itch that was missing in handhelds (not 1:1 physics-wise, but much more serviceable than the Game Gear offerings, which were their own beast). I doubt the walker was around when Neo Geo Pocket was a thing. The E3, before it was taken off the market, was promising, with more third parties showing interest in the platform. The NGPC library could be likened to the Dreamcast. There were more hits than misses, but the platform died before it could hit its stride.
