    Man, that takes me back. Sonic was such a great game. Don't know if I'll pick it up for iPhone though. But Sega ever releases Sonic 2 for the iPhone, I'm DEFINITELY all over that.

    Can you believe this game will be 18 years old in a little over a month?

    I still remember the cartoon series starring Jaleel White, aka Steve Urkel!

    Such a classic game =] This looks much better than the version released for the click-wheel iPod.

    I can only hope SEGA fixes framerate problems in future updates, apart from that i love that they released Sonic on the iPhone. :)

    I will love it if Sonic 2 is ever released, not to mention sonic and knuckles!

    Also I think that it is "possible" to make sonic adventures on the iphone, i wouldnt be suprised.

    I agree with Phil on that, although the Sonic Adventures might be a bit more than the device could handle. I would be cautious about that one.

    Anyway, I can't see Sega releasing any more Sonic games in the near future. They always seem to port only the original.

    If dreamcast ran it, iphone can, spec-wise.

    Iphone has about double dreamcasts specs, correct me if im wrong.

    They should have done tilt controls and/or touch the edge of the screen for movement.

    Again: SONIC 1?! What the heck Sega?! Of all the sonics to port you port the crapiest one! You Should have made an exclusive sonic for the iPhone darn it!

    Lazy and stupid.

    Woah, lol it should be illegal to diss the original sonics

    Are you serious Kryptic? The execution on this game is terrible! This game is a slap in our faces man. All it is, is an emulator and a sonic ROM - and a crappy emulator and ROM at that. I don't understand how a company can create what was once considered to be the flagship iPhone game (super monkey ball) from the ground up and then create such a substandard PORT of everyone's least favorite Sonic! They should have built an exclusive iPhone Sonic from the ground up. And the controls are not optimal if you ask me. That's what I'm sayin'.
