Sonic, the mascot of Sega, is returning in a new version of the highly popular Sonic games series this winter. The Sonic game takes a shot at the basic elements which brought the fun factor through the speed and signature moves of Sonic. The preview demo of the game has given us an insight into what is the scope of this Sonic game and how much we would enjoy while playing this Sonic game.

The basic plot of the Sonic game revolves around collection of chaos emeralds, something which is omnipresent in Sonic games universe. They are required to resurrect the shattered Earth, which is the work of Dr Eggman and his new aide in the form of a device.

The game offers everything that a veteran Sonic games player would like, large pathways to shoot along and wide areas for carrying out his moves like rail running, enemy bopping and super jumps. The game has better moves for Sonic, and you are recommended some moves by key alert in the game. A ring energy meter , which is filled by collecting rings available in the level. When the meter is charged, you can trigger a super speed boost which is essential in some parts of the Sonic game.

Now comes the engine and game physics. The game runs on the Hedgehog engine which has been threaded by Sega to handle Sonic the Hedgehog games and their moves. Its major task is to regulate speed, and camera angles while delivering signature moves. The camera movement was also something to talk about, with all the glitches of previous games being solved. Playing Sonic games would be better now with these movements, because now the camera can shift between third person and 2D view, as per the scene demand. The level design has been done characteristic of old Sonic games, striking a balance between close spaces and huge areas. Those who have played the Sonic game have told us that the presence of closed space is essential for some moves, and the sidelined pathways in huge arenas can be helpful in certain fights. Its like the use of the environment should be done intelligently to execute a nice Sonic game strategy.

The game is not only limited to jumping, running and bopping through enemies. This time, it has a lot more to it, with combination moves and coupled battles. The Sonic Hedgehog game would fairly focus on the Blue guy, but Tails and Knuckles, his trusted side kicks, wont be ignored either. With the above features, there is no doubt that the entire world is waiting for the release of this Sonic game. You might also be able to play Sonic games online , but that depends on the console support. Currently, we have seen the Xbox 360 version, and by the end of the year, we would be having it for Wii, Playstation2 and Playstation3. The developers say that each version would be significantly different from the other console, and Playstation2 and Wii would have some additional capabilities added to the game.
