Sonic Fan Remix

If you own a half decent PC and you’re a fan of the little blue hedgehog, you might be interested in trying this… Sonic Fan Remix is an entirely fan-made project that brings Sonic into glorious HD. The SFR team have recreated some classic levels from the franchise as well as adding their own twists to the classic 2D platformer. Seeing how the official Sonic 4 release got a fairly tepid response from the gaming community, this beautiful independent game might be just what Sonic needed.

Feedback from the initial free demo that was released this week is complimentary, but be warned, this first general release build is processor intensive. Looking at some of these screenshots, you can see why that might be the case.

I’d get hold of a copy sharpish if I were you. Only time will tell if this unlicensed game will survive the scything talons of SEGAs intellectual property lawyers. If it doesn’t, it may not be around for too long. If it does, it would be nice to see this out for the consoles although it would be in direct competition to SEGAS own Sonic 4 series. I’ll add this to my download list right now and prepare my eye-goo for imminent HD-multicolour meltage. More to come!
