Sonic World (Fan Game)

Sonic World is currently one of the greatest fan-made games on the internet. It features the original characters and original gameplay. It has stunning graphics and assistive elements throughout the game. Players can use both single player mode as well as team mode, allowing for a more diverse game experience. The gameplay is very well organized and easy to understand. Each of the characters still retains their special abilities and power-ups. For those who are familiar with the franchise, this is very satisfying.

Although this game is fan-made, it is very well done and is not too far from the original game or plot line. That being said, if you have not followed the franchise up until this point, it would be best to catch up on the storyline behind Sonic, as this game does not highlight it in the same way the traditional games do. Because Sonic World was not created by Sega, there are some differences that are in this version than the traditional games.

Sonic World runs on Windows XP and players should check to make sure their computer is compatible before trying to download this game. For a game of this scope, the download size is decent, measuring in at 265.41MB. The current version is the 5th release of this game, which has been cleaned up and streamlined more than a lot of other fan-made games on the internet. The game is currently only offered in English, but this does not impede on the functionality of the game if players do not speak English as a first language. Sonic World was created by Bluecore.
