Sonic The Hedgehog Classic for Negative User Reviews
✓ Decent gameThis game is a really good copy of the original, but there are a few downsides. First of all, cut down on the ads. There are so many. There is one ad that pops up and it has an x at the top, but whenever I click on the x, it takes me to the App Store. So I have to sit through this long ad waiting to get to play the game. Some of these ads are very inappropriate, too. I’m a Christian, and I do NOT want to see blood and half dressed women. Along with the complaint of the ads, there are so many ads that my game freezes up every ten seconds. The freeze also cancels out jumps. I was playing as tails and was fixing to defeat eggman, when the game froze, and I ended up hitting his wrecking ball. And since I had zero rings and lives, I died and got a game over. I was SOOOO mad. Overall it is actually a really good game, it just needs some improvements. P.S., I love the inclusion of tails and knuckles. Don’t get rid of that..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Too many adsThe Original Didn't have ads, why does this?.Version: 3.0.4
✓ You can lose interestI am a Sonic fan and a Dragon Ball Z fan so when I first downloaded this game I was very excited. I was getting ready to go to somewhere (I think) and I was playing Green Hill Zone act 1 or 2 or 3. I played it for some time and, over that time I lost interest. I went to play SonicDash (I think I did) and later I uninstalled your Sonic 1 game. I would recommend that you do more things to keep this game interesting. You could add a Super Sonic and Hyper Sonic transformation and you could make it so that you, well if you don’t add Super Sonic or Hyper Sonic you can make Sonic invincible. When you get the invincibility power up you become Super Sonic. You can make a way to cheat and get all seven Chaos Emeralds without having to work to get one by adding a glitch that tells you how to do it. You can add Red Star Rings. You can add a way to get a Big Red Star Ring and when you jump into it you get a special stage where you can collect Big Emeralds. And when you turn Super Sonic the Rings turn into Red Star Rings that can help you go Hyper Sonic. I am only giving this game 2 stars because I lost interest pretty quickly. This is recommended for those who like to get bored 😐😑😐😑😐 pretty quickly. Other than that the game is pretty good. And also I am thinking about installing it again. Good job 👏🏾!.Version: 3.7.0
✓ This game is still pretty greatI mean it is the first sonic game ever on the Genesis and right now I am playing it on a mobile remastered version on an iPad it seems pretty advanced than the first one on the Genesis back in 1991 and it’s 2020 now seriously I played this a very long time ago and also I may do a review of sonic to because I played that game mostly Aunt when I was younger and seriously it was amazing to me getting super sonic and all the chaos emeralds this game doesn’t have super sonic which kind of disappoints me since I can’t get mods since I’m only eight almost 9 though this game is still pretty amazing sent a lead to amazing sonic games in the future feel like it’s pretty decent and honestly if you want to play a sonic game start off with the first one on the Genesis or the mobile remaster probably the mobile remaster though.Version: 3.7.0
✓ The new update created more problems than it fixedWhen I saw that Sonic 1 was receiving an update, I was excited as I thought that they would fix the glitch where the Game Center achievement “Beat the Clock” would not be distributed. However, after the update, I was shocked to see that it created more problems than fixes. Not only was the Game Center achievement still broken, but the update also added multiple new problems. The file select now shows 7 Chaos Emeralds, yet only 6 can be acquired through normal gameplay. And if the player goes into a Giant ring at the end of Act 1, after the special stage ends or they collect a Chaos Emerald, it takes the player to Act 3 and skips Act 2. Also, a completed file now says “Special Stage 1”, but selecting the file takes you to the “Stage Select” screen. To make matters worse, the Time Trial mode is completely broken. Each zone only contains 2 acts instead of the 3, and different zones will be merged with other zone selections (Ex: Green Hill zone Act 3 in the Marble zone selection). I am very disappointed with this update for Sonic 1, as I was hoping that things would improve much more as time went on. I hope that these issues are resolved as quickly as possible..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Boo adsTo much ads I miss the old saga creators but the saga they just like to bore us with ads.Version: 3.7.8
✓ Horrible gameI have to connect to the Wi-Fi to play the game like I turn off Wi-Fi because I hate all of those freaking ads please turn that feature off or else I will sue you.Version: 3.7.8
✓ SagaHas way too many ADS!!!!.Version: 3.7.4
✓ I paid for the game still can't play offlineDirty move on the developer. I remember paying to play offline so I could play it at the cabin. A year or two later, nope need internet connection to play. It's a good game but how many times are you going to do an update and make people pay yet again? I'm deleting the app. FU.Version: 3.2.5
✓ Do ads are dumbWhy is there ads?.Version: 3.9.2.0
✓ To: SegaLook, I know it’s tough, Sega. I get it. You’re star character runs the scene for a few golden years, then falls on hard times, that’s okay, really. We all love Sonic, and nothing can ever change that, but this, this butchered version of something meant for good, is unacceptable. Christian Whitehead’s port was fine the way it was before. I remember buying the original ports right after they came out, and the feeling of joy when I saw that what I was about to play really felt like a Sonic game. Not because it was a Classic game or because classic Sonic is the only “real” Sonic, but because I could see the care and attention to detail put in to make it real. But this version is a gross disrespect to those ports, and everything they stood for. I logged on one day to find ads over my Sonic, and all of that joy left me. You are a monster, Sega. I’m beginning to wonder if there is any hope for Sonic after all, if Whitehead’s work is such a joke to you..Version: 3.0.9
✓ One change could be made.People here are making some unreasonable suggestions like removing ads(just pay for it lol) and changing fundamentals of the game like making it easier to go super sonic. My suggestion is this: tighten up the controls. This game was not made for touchscreen and to make it work on touchscreen, Sonic should move in a more responsive way. Playing this version is like playing very hard mode. This change would simply make the game the same difficulty as playing with analog. That said, it’s a great game. But the control issue is so severe that it takes the game down two whole stars for me. Sorry. Nonetheless, Sonic is my favorite biracial hero and thanks to the blockheads over at SEGA, he is back in action and ready to give Eggman, that smoky eyed little turnip, a run for his money. Booyah! But really, please fix the controls..Version: 3.8.1.6
✓ Too many adsThere’s ad supported, and then there’s “can I please get back to the game now?” I got through Green Hill Zone and then gave up after the third ad in a row. Don’t bother playing this unless you purchase the ad free version..Version: 3.7.4
✓ So many adsThe ads are unbearable….Version: 3.9.2.0
✓ I like it butCommon sega why would you think adding ads and making pepole have to use wifi is a good idea I love this app but soon I'm not gonna like because I'm at my granny's a lot and I want to play sonic 1 but noooooo it uses wifi and it has stupid ads so I swear I don't want ads and need wifi anymore 😡I'm sorry I'm not trying to be mad but also not trying to be mean but please just bring back n wifi and no ads.Version: 3.0.4
✓ For all the sonic games and other games like thisI’m leaving this review on all the sonic games and other games like this. I’m so sick of every single app(99% of them) and game etc. Having a ridiculous amount of ads that are so in your face and difficult to skip passed. I’m beyond tired of these “free apps” wanting you to pay to remove the ads that are beyond annoying with their consistent ads every 10 seconds you have to watch a 30 second ad that sometimes doesn’t register your click to exit the ad because I’m sure they’re making tons of money advertising other games and get more money off clicks etc. It’s beyond annoying for an adult dealing with this and even more so for a child. It’s crap. If this is what the free version is of your game then it’s terrible 1 star because there isn’t a lower rating. Unless you’re buying these games do not download them. The “free” versions are just absolute crap..Version: 3.8.2.4
✓ Saga sucksPaid for no ads big scam.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Doesn’t work off of wifiI do not want to spend 3.00$ on removing ads just to make it work off wifi.Version: 3.9.2.0
✓ Ads still show after paying for ad free version, game crashes at spring yard zone 3The software is fantastic. It runs better here than it did on the original hardware. Very impressive work, however still showing me ads every time I launch the app after paying for an ad free version is basically theft. The controls aren’t terrible, but not much better either. They decided to emulate an analog stick instead of a digital d pad. Why? No genesis console had an analog stick. This makes certain parts of the game difficult as you really don’t know if you are moving the virtual analog stick to the limit or not. If you try and find out you exceed the touch area for the analog stick and of course sonic just stops, hopefully not at a bad time. Edit: after playing for a bit I can’t get past spring yard zone 3 sonic just dies at the end. Seriously Sega? Software testing too much to ask?.Version: 3.2.5
✓ Needs to be available offline +better controlsI be wanting to play sonic or any sega game on my breaks at work but the problem is I don’t get any service in there and for some reason the game doesn’t work when offline. I’ve even tried buying the game without ads and I still can’t play offline. I cant really play a game I’ve paid for because I don’t get service for a game that doesn’t need internet to be played. You could at least make it to where if someone buys it they can play it offline or something. But then again I don’t just wanna keep buying these games when I can play for free. Also the left stick control doesn’t have much animation to it besides a small light and if I am not directly touching the button it doesn’t work. I wish there was a directional pad that is functional beyond the button a a joystick like button because it’s real frustration to operate it with my huge fingers.Version: 3.2.5
✓ Seriously, SEGA?I got this game when it first came out. Then, it was just emulation. To my surprise, it got an update that completely overhauled the game and made it great. But, when it became free, that was when things started to show signs of weakness. Since I bought the game beforehand, I wanted to restore my purchase. The game was now plagued with ads, so it was kind of annoying when I could not. An update later fixed that, but it was just a sign of things to come. Update 3.1.0 supposedly got rid of bugs, but instead added more. The file for a completed game displays “Special Stage 1”, instead of “Completed”. Also it shows a slot for a seventh Chaos Emerald, even though in the first Sonic you can only obtain six. Somehow, they added back a bug that was previously dealt with. I can’t even get rid of the freaking ads now. SEGA, you can do better than this. In Sonic’s words, ”Come on, step it up!”.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Simply TerribleI would enjoy this game a lot, if I actually got to play the game! There are so many ads it literally crashes my game before I even reach the "Start Game" button. I can hardly complete a stage, because whenever I try I always crash and have to restart my game. It's so bad that if an ad is over 10 seconds long it goes right back to the starting screen. Like seriously SEGA and Christian Whitehead you can do much better than this. I managed to beat the game, but I no longer want to play it ever again yet alone put my hands on this game ever again when all I know I'll be getting is ads all over the place. Also why does anyone need to pay to get no ads, I wouldn't mind the ads if they didn't ruin the game and the overall gameplay experience, but buying no ads in this game seems almost mandatory with the fact that there are ads everywhere. Honestly, if ads are ever used in games it should be done correctly and should never affect the gaming experience, and this is a perfect example of how not to use ads in games..Version: 3.0.7
✓ Too many adsIt’s a really fun game, but there are so many ads! It’s also common to get one DURING gameplay. I would give it a five it weren’t for the ads. :/.Version: 3.9.2.0
✓ Constant ads and no offline playWhat a load of trash and a disgrace to the Sonic franchise. Ads are terribly invasive and the complete lack of offline play is a joke. I tried to play on the plane and was told the game requires an active internet connection. Can I just ask why? Why on earth does an old school platformer require an always on internet connection? Save your time as well as money, install an emulator and play it on your computer..Version: 3.0.4
✓ One big problemThis game is very nostalgic and great to me and others out there, and I’m glad they even ported it on mobile! But the reason why it’s three stars is because if one big problem. A lot of mobile game will have ads pop up every minute but without Wi-Fi you don’t have to worry about the ads getting in the way. Exept this game requires you to connect to a Wi-Fi or else you can’t play the game at all. This is so that you will get hit with ads every second. The fact that you can’t play the game unless your connected to a Wi-Fi for ads is just stupid and annoying. It’s fine for a game to have ads so they will recommend you something cool that you might wanna try but some others don’t care about it, and not everyone wants to get spammed by ads. But other than that this game is awesome and I love it. If they didn’t have that one problem then I would’ve give them a four or even five stars..Version: 3.7.9
✓ UnbeatableI was very excited to play this game for the first time. I bought the premium version and everything. Unfortunately, on my iPhone X at least, I can’t proceed past Spring Yard Zone Act 3, as whenever Sonic hits the animal capsule at the end of the stage, he runs off and immediately dies. You can be in complete control and replicate this. The game itself is fun and beautiful on iOS, but it gets 1 Star for a game-breaking bug that wasn’t even addressed in the latest software update. UPDATE: through the use of ANOTHER bug, I was able to skip the level. Hitting exit in the menu during a special stage will skip the next stage upon reloading and beating the special stage. However, I’ve found that Brain Scrap Zone Act 2 is ALSO broken! The transition does not properly work, scrolling up instead of right, making it ONCE AGAIN impossible to proceed. This is unacceptable after a supposed “bug fix” patch update..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Game centerCan you please make game center work it still doesn’t work in a future update.Version: 3.9.2.0
✓ Too many ads deletedAn add after each screen like really. Deleted the game before it even started. Nice one. I would’ve paid the no ad free if I could actually get to play the game without seeing 100 ads.Version: 3.9.2.0
✓ Bad move with the addsI originally paid for this game and now the developer decided to put adds in and make me pay for it again to remove it. 😡😡😡.Version: 3.0.4
✓ HelpThe game won’t even load for me it just black screen.Version: 3.10.1.2
✓ Boo To Every HaterWhy So Much People Hate This Game? I Never Got A Single Hack Or Glitch. This Game Rocks And Nobody Should Be Hating On This. I Hate Haters..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Won’t openSo I open the game and the Sega logo plays then it shows me the Christian Whitehead thing and then after that my screen is just black… nothing happens and this happens every time I try to launch the game which sucks and is weird cause I used to have this game and it worked fine..Version: 3.10.1.2
✓ Non-Stop AdsI could not even start a first game due to the barrage of non-stop ads. 5 ads in a row before I could even start a game. And you can’t close any of the ads without opening that ad’s download. This app is just a cash grab..Version: 3.7.0
✓ Great game, disappointing “ad-free” purchaseThis is a great, classic game that my boys and I have really enjoyed playing! The gameplay is everything I remember, with easy to use controls on the iPad touchscreen. The only reason for the 3 star review is that I payed to get it “ad-free”, but we still have ads pop up for different sonic games and the sonic movie. The reason I was able to justify spending money on a free app was to make it possible to leave the iPad on restricted access and still allow my kids to play relatively unsupervised. Unfortunately, the ads allow them to get onto safari or the App Store whenever an ad pops up that directs them there. What’s the point in paying for no ads when I’m actually getting limited ads that still direct away from the app itself?.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Springzone 3 and iPhone XU can’t get past springzone stage 3 on an iPhone X. It appears that after u defeat Robotnik and blow up the machine, sonic automatically runs off the screen to the right and dies. It almost seems like the wider screen of the iPhone X is causing the issue, where sonic runs on a part of the screen to the right that has no blocks for him to run on, so he falls and dies. The game resumes from the last save point. As a result, can’t get past this level. Good game, but 1 star until they can fix this. Developer responded this is not a priority to fix at this time. DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE AN IPHONE X!!! UPDATE 6/27: They deployed a fix which broke the ad-free version. So now, even though I paid for the app, I can’t get rid of the ads. Tech support says the problem is noted but can’t do anything until developers are prioritized to fix the issue. So, my review still hasn’t changed. DON’T PAY FOR THIS GAME UNTIL THEY FIX THESE ISSUES!!!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Impossible glitch on iPhone XSThere is a glitch in Spring Yard act 3 that makes it impossible to pass the act. After beating Robotnik and opening the animal capsule, Sonic runs off the right edge of the screen and dies while the animals are jumping out of the capsule. This was not a one time glitch. This happened three times in a row and I got a game over. I also noticed that you can see the edge of the game window during the end of special stage score screen. I believe the edge of the game window does not extend far enough on the iPhone XS screen, allowing Sonic to run past the edge of the game window and fall off the right edge of the level and die, or some similar behavior. A previous review addressed the same issue and the developer response was the dev tram was aware of the problem and working on it. That was 8 months ago and the problem is still present, despite a game patch coming out one month ago. As a software dev myself, I am embarrassed of such unprofessional work. Please patch this glitch so I may update my one-star review. Addendum: on iPhone SE, the game runs super-slow, like at 75% speed. What is with all these bugs?.Version: 3.2.3
✓ Scrap brain zone act 2 glitchAfter completing the level i lose sight of my character and am forced to die? Plz fix.Version: 3.2.5
✓ OkI played this as a kid and could get everything on every level and get all the emeralds and beat the whole game in about an hour… I had it memorized… I thought it would be fun to reminisce. It looks the same to me but it’s just so hard to control. He doesn’t always stop or go as fast as I want him to or as fast as I used to be able to control him with a regular controller.. I think if you were to buy a regular controller for your phone maybe it would be better but I know from muscle memory how to play this game and it’s irritating me that he won’t do what I want him to do and that I keep dying… I never used to die. Oh well. Maybe if I can find a controller that’s not too expensive… I’m not buying a $100 one for this one game I’ll just go buy something that has this game on it instead with 100 other games..Version: 3.10.1.2
✓ The hell?I payed for this app and it's giving me ads. FIX THIS..Version: 3.0.4
✓ Game is great, the port is terribleSonic The Hedgehog is a great game. This port, however, is terrible. You can get all the way to Scrap Brain Act 2 and that’s it, due to a glitch that has been present for a long time, you’re not going anywhere but to an eventual “Game Over” screen. That’s only part of the big issue with this port. The game has been broken many times before, and what happens next? You wait forever for them to come out with an update to fix it. You may email SEGA informing about said glitch, and get the same automatic reply within a week. We finally get an update that I hoped would fix the glitch that makes it impossible to progress to the final boss. Still broken. SEGA, learn from your past mistakes and fix this. The fact it took so long for an update that ultimately didn’t fix the game like it did last time is unacceptable. If you want a classic Sonic game for your device, get Sonic The Hedgehog 2. If you want this game, pick a different platform (excluding the GBA, because, well, you know), this game is everywhere..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Fun if you like adsI’ve loved sonic since I was a kid and was excited to see this for my phone. However, I don’t like to watch ads all day or have to pay to have them removed. I’ve since deleted the game from my phone..Version: 3.7.4
✓ This game has too many adsI am literally annoyed about the amount of ads there are. An ad literally restarted my progress for one of the acts in the game. This feels horrible..Version: 3.7.4
✓ Add s3&k smhGood game but add s3.Version: 3.7.4
✓ SucksBro when I press start game an add comes, when I start the act an add comes, almost every 3 seconds an add comes!!!.Version: 3.7.9
✓ To many ads and rigged!The fourth level is rigged cause you can’t jump high enough at the end and every second a 30 second ad comes up. please try to work on this game.Version: 3.10.1.2
