Sonic R PC Game 1997 review:
The player takes control of the blue hedgehog Sonic, the two-tailed fox Tails, the last Echidna Knuckles, or the hedgehog lady, Amy Rose, at the beginning of the game.
Sonic and Tails are about to take a holiday when Tails notices an advertisement for a “World Grand Prix”. While not initially interested, Sonic notices that Dr. Robotnik is also participating in the race, which persuades him to change his mind and enter the race. It is revealed that Robotnik has recently learned of the whereabouts of the rare and powerful Chaos Emeralds, with which he aspires to enslave the world, and that he intends to gather them during the World Grand Prix while using a group of robotic henchmen he has built to best Sonic. Knuckles and Amy overhear of Robotnik’s plan and decide to compete. Together, the four must balance both winning races and obtaining the Chaos Emeralds to keep them out of Robotnik’s reach.
Pros of Sonic R:
- After beating all zones and finding all seven Chaos Emeralds with Sonic, an alternate final act is unlocked.
- A character will also lose a life if they fall into a gap, get crushed, or exceed an act’s 10-minute limit.
- In the tradition of Sonic games, gameplay consists of moving quickly through levels. Levels in the game are divided into seven “zones”, each consisting of two acts of normal gameplay and then a boss battle, where the player fights Doctor Eggman in order to stop Eggman from taking over the world.
- Special stages are on a 3D plane, where the character tries to obtain a set number of rings before time runs out in order to collect a Chaos Emerald.
