    Sonic Jump takes a long-dormant genre and breathes new life into it. We can't recommend it enough.

    Sonic Jump does a good job in terms of gameplay and structure, with two different game modes and nice tilt / touch controls.

    It controls well, with Sonic reacting smoothly to the tilt controls.

    Despite reducing Sonic to only jumping, Sonic Jump does almost a better job at feeling like the hedgehog in its hey-day than other iOS releases; if only it didn't bring along the same baggage of similar vertical jumpers too.

    I am truly surprised, and actually really glad that Sega has made Sonic Jump a proper standalone game well worth it for both fans, and non-fans of Sonic the Hedgehog.

    If you're a fan of both Sonic games and jumping style games I'd recommend this one, but otherwise, save your pennies for something original.

    I admit to being sceptical about a jumping game featuring Sonic, but aside from the odd annoying level in the story mode and a feeling that Sonic really shouldn't be travelling upwards, something I don't think I'll ever get used to, Sonic Jump is an enjoyable little gem that took me by surprise.

    It isn't the most original entry in the Sonic canon, but Sonic Jump is a great little mobile game all the same.

    If you passed on Sonic Jump thinking it's a simple Doodle Jump clone, you owe it to yourself to give the game another look. Its emphasis on In-App Purchases and somewhat bland design are disappointing, but they don't detract from the pure jumping fun.
