Times Online writes: "Sonic, if you didn't know already, is a harum-scarum hedgehog and one of the best known characters in gaming history. As ever, you must control the spiky blue blur as he races through a cleverly designed world, switching between 3-D and 2-D action. Leaping chasms, racing upside down along corkscrew tracks, then sliding through gaps, he pursues the rings that give him greater speed. It is a welcome return to form for Sega's speedy critter after some indifferent outings."
