Title:Sonic The Hedgehog's Game World
PublisherSega
Looking for a fun Storyware title that you and your child can enjoy together while teaching timing, matching and other skills? Then Sonic The Hedgehog's Game World is the title for you.
Sonic the Hedgehog's Game World stars Sega's beloved mascot Sonic and his friends Tail and Amy. You choose a level of play (easy or hard), the number of players (up to two players) and one of the three above characters (Sonic, Tails or Amy) to start the Storyware adventure.
This Storyware doesn't include much in the way of voices, but what it lacks in speech it makes up for in variety. Sonic the Hedgehog's Game World features 12 action packed games and a large art page, making this one of the best titles in the system's US library! Here are a list of the games included in this title.
Car Race - In this game your child presses a button to speed his character to the finish line before Dr. Robotnik can cross it!
Tree Climb - In this game your child presses a button as quickly as possible in order to get your monkey to the top of the tree more times than his opponents.
Ball Roll - Press your button in this Skee-ball clone in order to roll your ball into the points holes and get to the finish line first! Timing is everything in getting the highest points!
Ball Throw - Press your button to throw the basketball into the moving hoops!
Flag - Press the buttons to match Dr. Robotnik and raise the flags quickly and in the right order.
Toy Drop - Press the button and time the drop to grab the toys out of the crane machine! Go for the perfect drop of 5 toys!
Dr. Robotnik Bopper - Use the pen and buttons in this Whack-a-mole clone game which requires you to bop the Dr. Robotniks on the head as they pop out of the holes.
Egg Game - Use the pen to find the egg in which Flicky bird is hidden. This is just like the old shell game.
Card Match - Match pairs of cards in this Memory game.
Start and Stop - Press the Start button with the pen and then time pressing the Stop button to land on the square that will help you defeat Dr. Robotnik.
Robotnik's Maze - This is the final game in the Storyware. Find the Chaos Emeralds hidden in the items on screen before Dr. Robotnik. If you find more than him, you win and the game is over!
After the games pages, your child can visit art pages at the back of the Storyware where he can color in pictures of Sonic and his friends, change the music and add animated characters and action to their art!
Sonic the Hedgehog's Game World is a must have Storyware for the Pico and for any fan of Sonic. It may have little in the way of educational value, but it is a sheer enjoyment and a fun reward and skill building game for the little one. Well, there is one thing that the game does teach...we don't always win or do the best, but we can always keep trying to make great accomplishments.
