I want to take you back to when the major console battle was between the 2 super powers in video gaming (at the time), Nintendo and Sega, the Mircosoft and Sony of the early 90s, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (or SNES for short) and the Sega Genesis/ Mega Drive were fighting for supremacy of home entertainment.
Now, of course everybody has their favourite mascot depending on what console they had, if you had a SNES, you were a fan of everyone's favourite plumber and princess rescuer, Mario and if you were like me and had a Genesis or Mega Drive, you were a fan of the blue blur, the fastest hedgehog on the planet, Sonic.
With the launch of the Wii and countless Super Mario games recently, Mario has taken the title of master mascot of the gaming world, with Xbox's Master Chief a distant second. While Sega's blue hedgehog has had string of sub-standard games out recently (excluding Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing) but all might be forgiven with the announcement of the blue one latest 2-d adventure.
Sonic 4, formerly known as Project Needlemouse set to take gamers back to Sonic's side scrolling, fast paced, spin dashing and Dr Eggman beating days with the addition of his new move the Homing Attack which is exactly what is sounds like. While all the action will be moving from left to right, the interactive characters and environment will be 3-d and from the teaser trailer they released earlier this year it amazing compared to Sonic of old.
I know it isn't much to go on but if it beats Ice Cap Zone 1 and 2 then this game is going to be huge.
By the way, Sonic 2 has the video game soundtrack of all time, followed by Sonic 3 and these 2 songs will prove this.
