Welp, I'm back with another review. And don't worry, I think I've improved with this sort of stuff
Graphics/Art: 6
Sonic ERaZor, being based off Sonic 1 has little art changed. Other than a nice new logo, some text and text boxes, there isn't too much else changed from normal Sonic 1. The score is a little bumped up because the palettes used are really well done, plus the Sonic 1 graphics make sense in the storyline.
Music: 8
Being a person well into the music department, I am impressed by the tracks and song choices used in this hack. The songs are very well ported, for example: Labyrinth Place, Credits and Tutorial Place. My only nitpick is that a few of the same instruments are used in many songs, especially the distorted guitars, and they can get a little bit tedious although I may not be one to talk, looking back at my SoundCloud history...
Storyline: 7
There is definitely a bit of work put into the story, with Sonic being chased by a stingy-er Buzzbomber and later falling into a warp ring going to a parallel dimension where "animals celebrate by jumping off cliffs"! Sonic obviously needs to get out of this alternate universe so he goes through the 7 places full of challenges and explosions!
Depth: 7
There is a lot of unique content not done in any other Sonic 1 hack here to fool around with. There are also many chapters (1 for each place) to play through. With the addition of Uberhub Place, you can also play whatever zone you want after you complete the game giving ERaZor some replay value.
Difficulty: 7
Compared to previous versions, the difficulty (while still harder than average) is definitely toned down. An example of this is definitely the removal of the lives system and the Hard-Part Skipper. There are still significantly hard challenges in this including the whole of Labyrinth Place, Scar Agony Place (Part 2 of Scar Night), and both Un
Addictiveness: 3
I'm most likely not going to be playing this one over and over again. It's an hour session game and while it's fun on occasion, it's not all the time. The difficulty also plays an important role in the addictiveness rating
Overall: 8.7
Sonic ERaZor is a great game to challenge yourself and see how good you really are at Sonic. There are a lot of hard challenges in this game, so if you are no good or are just starting at Sonic, this probably isn't for you just yet.
Thanks for reading, and take care!
