I played this for the first time today. Isn't it a bit overrated?

Too obvious. 3/10

This is obvious as fuck, pathetic bait. You and any other idiot who parrot this are fucking retards. Stop thinking Sonic is only DURRRRRRRRRR GOTTA GO FAST XDDDD because it's not.

why do sonicfags get so easily triggered

by now you think they would stop being sensitive to people being critical of the franchise

>>375872283
>anyone who disagrees with me is baiting

>>375872569
When did I say Sonic was only "hurr durr gotta go fast," you moron? I said that going fast goes against the level design of the game, they might have well not even made Sonic fast in the first place, considering the fact that his quick turns makes it almost impossible to maneuver through the small platforms he has to jump and walk on.

Didn't even say whether the game was good or bad.

OP is clearly baiting, but he's not completely off the mark. Sonic 1 is kind of a mess, really. Green Hill is great, Spring Yard is great and Starlight is great, but Marble Zone is designed more like a Mario level than a Sonic level. Sonic 1 wasn't about "going fast," but it was about momentum and physics. With a level like Marble Zone where there are no slopes, dips and dives to be found, you're kind of shooting your concept in the foot. Sonic 2 did things a lot better.

This. If OP wants slower pace he should play Sonic CD.

The original Sonics are just ok same with the original Marios. They pass the time.
If only he couldve avoided being butchered into an autistic mess. Why couldnt he just have faded away in the 90's and been remembered fondly?

>>375872774
Not him but moving on platforms has never been a challenge and I don't know where it comes from. You can slow yourself down and control your movement speed even in midair as well as jump at almost any time, so just use it to your advantage. I don't know what you mean by quick turns but if anything that should be helping you stay on them.

Sonic 1 was a great start but Marble Zone, while the platforming was alright, it did have too many stops and too little places where you could actually let your skill get you through faster. The rest of the levels were fine for that, even Labyrinth, though I can't remember Scrap Brain so well. 2 was the refinement of the concept.

>it did have too many stops

Only one really, unless you count breaking the stone blocks as a stop.

Back to your containment shithole.

I blame my wording, but I mean most of the layout of the underground areas with having to push the blocks, jump along the blocks to get past lava, waiting for the spikes to drop and so on really feels like it adds up, and there's not really much you can do to get past them instead of the typical platforming. It stands out in my mind compared to all the other levels and not in a really good way. The part where you get chased by lava is cool though.

This problem was addresses in following releases. I think its generally agreed that 2 3 and SnK did much better jobs at balancing gotta go fast and platforming. Personally my vote for best is split between 2 and 3

>>375871212
Sonic 1 is the worst of the bunch. Play 2 or 3

>>375872692
Aaaaand it's bait
Not surprised

>>375876390
>jump along the blocks to get past lava

Only once in the entire zone, the rest are skippable. I've done Marble Zone so many times the spike dropping/elevating part and jumping at the right moment feels like a dance, some times I even time it with the music.

did you guys like Sonic CDeez nuts?

>>375877774
I suppose I'll take your word for it because of those digits. I don't remember any decent way to get past and the pace always felt like it gets controlled so much more compared to even later levels, and those few parts were enough to make it noticeable plus I never saw many other ways, but it has been a while since I last played.

Most people praise Sonic 2 or 3&K when talking about the originals. I've never understood why people point to Sonic 1 when claiming "Sonic was never good". Most Sonic fans don't think that much of Sonic 1 either.
