IGN Reviews: F-Zero and Sonic the Hedgehog (VC)

F-Zero

This game is all we American gamers ever got of F-Zero on the Super NES, though a 16-bit sequel was in development at one point and ultimately became part of the Japan-only Satellaview broadcast network. It would be great to see that unreleased-in-the-States follow-up, which was called BS F-Zero Grand Prix, finally debut on domestic shores. So show some love, racing fans, and support this release – let Nintendo know there's an audience, and maybe some previously unseen gems will eventually turn up.

Score: 7.5

Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog is a wonderful classic game to have holding down a spot in your Wii's array of channels. The only thing that should hold you back is your own personal history with the title – you may be one of the millions who've already played this game to death over the years, or you may already own it in another form. This Sonic has made encore appearances in Sonic Mega Collection on the GameCube, Sonic Mega Collection Plus on the PS2 and Xbox, Sega Genesis Collection on the PS2 ... the list goes on and on. So check your last-gen library, check your sense of nostalgia, check to make sure you don't still have your old Genesis hooked up to AV port 3, collecting dust behind your entertainment center, and then feel free to jump back in. It's still fun to run in Sonic's shoes, even after 16 years.

Score: 8.0
