    I have been a huge Sonic The Hedgehog fan since day one. From the good old days of the Sega Genesis and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, to the systematic anal rape of Sonic in the ass and the sad thing is, we are all used to Sonic being a used up icon. He for all intended purposes was dead and buried already in most gamer's minds, they could not continue playing Sonic knowing he was wasting away, emaciated by Sonic Team, the very team that made Sonic legendary now destroying everything that was ever or ever has been good about the Sonic franchise. Sonic was on life support friends, hanging as a franchise on the brink of death. he was used up after Sonic Heroes, the last really good Sonic game before the Holocaust and the Dark Years and and cold bitter nights of Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog for the Xbox 360 a game so utterly abysmal, so horrifyingly horrendously underdeveloped and glitch ridden that Sonic was dug his own grave by his own Sonic Team. Recovery to the once legendary status as worldwide Sega Genesis icon seemed utterly implausible, impractical and impossible.

    But good Sonic games still exist my friends, and Sonic Dash for Android

    This Sonic game is what Sega should have done 10 years ago simply put. The control?Flawless. Tap Up and Sonic Jumps, Tap Down Sonic Spin Dash Attacks, Tap to preform special actions and interact with objects around Sonic.

    The final and most important new edition to the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise is the Dash Meter, For the first time in a Sonic game, collecting rings is more than just a means to an end to keep Sonic from death. Every Ring you collect gets Sonic a boost of power. Collect 100 rings for an extra life. And if you get 200 rings and collect all the Chaos Emeralds?

    A very nice twist on the Sonic formula, with the endless runner style. Simple, intuitive, how far can YOU run with the world's fastest thing alive? All I can say is that this game could really cut down red-ring prices and needs, or at least make red rings more abundant.

    Simply put a fun and addictive phone game best suited for Sonic fans. Its like Temple run with sonic. Which is definitely awesome. All in all a good game.

    Let's see.

    Graphics: 9/10 Very beatiful graphics for a mobile game, although sometimes the light blue lines in the characters are notable. Sto... ehm, wat? Oh yeah, ain't having a story so, lets talk about Microtransactions! 7/10 Yeah, lets talk about the worst thing in the entire goddamn game. The microtransactions. Altough getting Red Rings is easier than what it was before,    Let's see.

    Red Rings is easier than what it was before, i think before it was so user-hostile it made the game really bad. Despite this, i do think its at least now not as exploited as other games in the market can be.

    Gameplay 10/10

    The best thing in the game. Contains very fluid and responsive controls, has fast levels and is a lot of fun overall. If only the rest of the game was like this...

    OVERALL: Buy it if you don't mind microtransactions. Otherwise, don't even bother.

    Simplemente me Fascina este juego, pero no por eso no voy a ser Objetivo. A decir verdad me parece un excelente F2P (un Endless Runner para ser mas precisos),sus gráficas son buenas, la nitidez de sus imágenes esta muy bien cuidada y detallada, su música es buena y como plus puedes jugar con varios personas de la franquicia, ademas de que al día de hoy puedes conseguir varios objetos queSimplemente me Fascina este juego, pero no por eso no voy a ser Objetivo.

Tal vez el aspecto mas "débil" seria la jugabilidad ya que a pesar de ser buena casi no varia de personaje en personaje y si no fuera por los cambiantes escenarios creo que el juego se volvería monótono bastante rápido. En conclusión estamos ante un genial F2P desarrollado por un estudio que aspiro con ansias ver que mas pueden darnos en el futuro y espero también poder probar pronto la versión para Android.… Expand

    Will have even the most cynical of Sonic bashers gurning with nostalgia. [June 2013, p.85]

    With more zones and less weighty in-app-purchases by way of an update, Dash could be one of the more enticing endless runners on the market. As it stands, you might find yourself picking this up, and running right past it after a fleeting sense of enjoyment.
