REVIEW
Good guide, but not complete Okay, this quide does a very good job of summarizing the story and detailing the gameplay, which is great. However, the bottom line is that it does not cover the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, just the Wii and the Playstation 2 versions. The PS3/360 versions have an extra level, Empire City, that the Wii/PS2 versions don't. Also, I believe that extra characters are involved in the storyline and have special mini-games that do not seem to be present in the Wii/PS2 versions.
Despite this annoying, and surprising considering the quality of Primagames' guides, error the guide gets everything about these two versions downpat. If you have a Wii/PS2 and plan to get Sonic Unleashed, it will be very helpful. If you are going to go for the PS3/360 versions, like I am, skip it and wait for either 1) Primagames to come out with a guide to these versions or 2) Someone to put an FAQ on GameFAQs or [...].
Detailed walkthrough that is a step-by-step guide to collecting all rings, Chao Eggs, and items. Character analysis features POW Moves, leveling data, character building, and combat tips. Every mission and side mission disclosed with complete journal entries. Comprehensive data section covering all equipment, consumables, enemies, POW Moves, and Chao. Complete area maps that show all items, Chao Eggs, and Movement icons.

REVIEW
Somewhere between AoStH and SatAM Before I begin, this account I'm using is my Mom's because my other account won't let me make reviews until I buy something (it didn't have a problem with it before...). You can check out my other reviews on Teen Titans GO! 1 and 2 and Ape Escape and Ape Escape on the loose under Steve/Saber. Now, on to the review.
I recently came across this about a month ago while surfing the net and being the huge Sonic fan I am I thought I should give it a shot. The comic book contains Sonic the Hedgehog issue numbers 1 through 4, with quite a few storys with filler comics and fun little things between, such as a Robotnick Birthday card ("On this special occasion, I am going to place you in my Robo-Machine, turning you into a mindless robot... And by the way... Happy Birthday!" *Cue him standing over a cake with a huge bite in it*).
The storys are,
Meet me at the corner of hedgehog and vine, parts 1 and 2, where Robotnick unleashes deadly robotick plants all over Knothole.
You bet my life, parts 1 and 2, Sonic checks out Robotnick's Casino Night Zone, as a homage to Sonic 2 and later a homage to Sonic Spinball! Or an episode from SatAM...
Triple Trouble, parts 1 and 2, not to be confused with the game, Sonic has to deal with three "dangerous" robots who fans of AoStH shall recognize quite easily...
Vertigo a'go go! Ever wonder how the special zone in Sonic 2 works? Me neither, but here we get to see an idea from the comic writers and meet 2 new characters that would easily fit into AoStH.
The bomb bugs me, parts 1 and 2, Sonic, Sally, and Boomer (before he's re-named Roter) find out about a new threat from Robotnick who has made a bomb that will "Kill" them all. But a serious twist, as well as some loony toon-ish gags, makes for a fun ending.
Rabbot deployment, parts 1 and 2, during an investagation on the attack of the southern area of Mobius, Sonic and Ro-uh, Boomer come across a rabbit who's in some real trouble. After saving her, a new threat from Robotnick leaves Sonic in need of help from their new team member. Say hello, to Bunnie Rabbot!
Lizard of odd, parts 1 and 2, Robonick creates his own Godzilla like creation while Sonic experiences what its like to go "Super" for the first time.
Tails' little tale, for the last story of the book, we finally get to see what Tails is made of when he goes to take on Robotnick and his army of Swatbots, though he might need just a little help...
Now before you buy, let me tell you that this is not thedaker Sonic you would expect from SatAM, or the later Sonic the Hedghog issues. The characters are straight from SatAM, with the exception of a pink and black Sally while the feeling is all around goofy like AoStH (and the addition of the S.S.S.S.S.S., or the Super Special Sonic Search and Smash Squad), even the Swatbots show goofy humor here and there. So, if I had to say... These storys would please the AoStH fans more while the SatAM fans might not care for it as much. Wait for the more darker storys to come out (hope there are more than just two volumes).
I'm more of a SatAM fan myself, but I do enjoy the slapstick humor in these storys, just wish it took itself just a tad more seriously.
Sonic the Hedgehog Archives #2 features more classic laughs and action. Each story is meticulously restored and printed on high-grade paper-so you can feel like you're zipping right alongside the cobalt crusader as he saves Knothole Village! So what are you waiting for? Put on your favorite pair of sneakers, grab a chilidog, start reading these thrilling collections and let the excitement begin!

REVIEW
great product, shipping not so great This book is an excellent collection of the original comics all in a smaller sort of slim graphic novel. If you want to have a nice collection of these in good condition, take notice of the shipping these come in. It looks like they were tossed in a roomy box with 3 other books of this collection with 2 of those "bags of air" used for shipping. One of them ended up underneath the cardboard box's flap! and it had a bent corner after i unwedged it from its hiding place. I was not happy about it, but I didn't think returning the single book would improve the shipping treatment. By the way, I had used Super Saver Shipping, which seemed super sloppy for these collector's items. This "Sonic The Hedgehog Archives Volume 3" has a matte finish and does not have the 15th anniversary logo in the upper left.
Relive classic Sonic stories with this collection of issues #25-28 of Sonic's ongoing comic book series. Each story is meticulously restored and printed on high-grade paper - so you can feel like you're zipping right alongside the cobalt champion as he saves Knothole Village!

REVIEW
Sonic Comics takes the Story farther than any other. I hope they don't stop 'cuase I want to read it all! I'm very happy that they've gone back and are reprinting all the old issues that can no longer be found. This is Vol. 7 and in this one is the first appearance of Amy Rose. The story continues to unfold.
The Sonic Archives series has emerged as one of Archie's best-selling trade paperbacks, as fans both new and old can relive the glory days of Sonic the Hedgehog in these high-quality, digitally-restored graphic novels, complete with all the classic Sonic stories from the 1990's! Now with Sonic Archives Volume 8, Sonic lovers can add to their collections issues #29-32, stories which are almost impossible to come across now. Stories include: "The Return of Uncle Chuck" - When an experiment of Robotnik's goes horribly awry, the venomous villain finds himself trapped in the "Void," a parallel dimension, while his scheming nephew Snively attempts to wipe Knothole off the map, and with it, the rest of Mobius! Fortunately for our heroes, the experiment also gave Sonic's Uncle Chuck his free will back, and with his help, the Freedom Fighters have a fighting chance of stopping Snively and...could it be...rescuing Robotnik?!
REVIEW
A Nice Reprint As a older reader of the comic, I decided to buy this book so more of my comics would not disappear or are destroyed in someway should I decide to reread a few of the older issues. (I keep them in a water tight container in a corner of the attic, 2 issues have disappeared over the years.)
I would recommend to get the Archives series to those who rather be able to read the stories in this volume, instead of waiting and looking for the actual issues themselves (issues 29 - 32). The colors aren't quite the same as in the original issues, and the last few pages are used for charector bios.
In 1993, Sonic the Hedgehog sped his way from video games to comic books. One decade later, "The Blue Blur" can lay claim to having the most successful comic book career of all video game heroes! Now, readers can enjoy his earliest comic book adventures with this special edition that reprints the first appearances of Tails, Princess Sally, Antoine, Rotor, Uncle Chuck, and Muttski. Fans can also marvel in awe and wonder at Sonic's magic rings, the freedom emeralds, and King Acorn's magic crown; while booing and hissing at the villainous Robotnik, his evil Swat-Bots, and his myriad dastardly devices!
REVIEW
Sonic WAS great. I agree with the previous reviewer.I'm only 14 and i grew up with sonic. My first ever video-game was sonic 2 and he made blue my favorite color. The old sonic comics and games, I'm refering to the old days of 2-d not the new anime version of him, were great. Now they shoved humans in the story and extremely unproportioate heads onto the characters. I love the old sonic. And the hardcore fans love him too. Why Sega...WHY? But enought about that, this comic is great. If you want a good dose of what to expect from the old sonic comics, this is a must buy. In fact it's a must buy, period.
Following the smashing success of the Sonic Archives series, Archie continues the proud tradition of reprints with Sonic Select! These fully restored and re-mastered graphic novels feature the best stories taken from the original Sonic Super Specials! Volume 2 brings back the stories from such classics as "Mecha Madness," "Super Sonic vs. Hyper Knuckles," "Knuckles' Chaotix," and "Sonic Live"! As these stories are extremely difficult to come by, fans from today and yesterday can add to their collection of Sonic comics, or begin an all new one.
