Pana der Hejhog (Sonic 1 hack) Review
------------------------------------------------
-------======Pana Der Hejhog Review=======------
------------------------------------------------
Pana Der Hajhog is a hack of Sonic 1 that was made
by MarkeyJester and Cisico, It is possibly the
single best made Sonic 1 mod in existence when
striving for quality is key.
-----===Graphics===-----
The Graphics I have to give a Solid 10
Why? Because, the movement of Pana (the protagonist)
is SO FLUID he has twice as many sprites as Sonic
does and it makes the game seem so much more polished
now. I would spend a few minutes just making Pana walk
slowly back and forth to see how smooth and fluid it
really is.
And also there are other graphical improvements.
such as when you enter the snowy area of the game, you
can see pana breathing in and out and making puffs of
air from the cold, and the SEGA and title screen.
The enviorments are very interesting. The first
area (the island) Is very similar to Isolated Island
in Knuckles Chaotix. And the second one is identical
to the first except it has a blue (icy) pallet instead
of the normal summer like pallet.
-----===Sound===-----
The Music in the game is fairly good. The music
for the first area is a remix of "Door into Summer"
from Knuckles Chaotix, but the snowy area is a new
song completely. It very much fits the enviorment
and sets the scene.
-----===Gameplay===-----
This Game is very short. Only about 5-10 minutes
playtime at most. The game consists of two areas,
"Mystic Island Zone" and "Mystic Island Zone covered
in ice". The areas have enemies from Green Hill zone
only. The playing style is exactly like the original
Sonic 1 this mod is focused more on polishing up the
original elements then adding new ones, and it came
out beautifully.
-----===Story===-----
There is very little story. Pana is falling from
the sky and lands on the island, after traveling on
the island a distance, Dr. Robotnick is(for some unknown
reason) on the island and freezes it over. Pana must
free the island and stop Dr. Robitnick.
-----===Difficulty===-----
There isn't much diffuculty in the game, it only
consists of one zone, and the baddies are from Green Hill
Zone. The only "Difficult" part of the game is the
boulders that you must run on to travel over the ice lake
that damages you when you touch it. So the difficulty
get's a low rating.
-----===Overall===-----
Overall I have to give the game a 9.4 for it's awesome
Graphics and Polish, even though the game is somewhat short,
it pack so much greatness into this little area that is more
then makes up for it. and because It's only about 10 minutes,
you have almost no excuse to not sit down and play this
wonderful master piece of a game.
