Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia

I have been a Sonic fan for as long as I can remember and this book took me on a way past cool journey of the History of Sonic. This is a very exciting book. I absolutely love it!

To sum it up, the Sonic Encyclo-speed-ia is your basic informational book on the history, facts, trivia, & lore of the Sonic The Hedgehog mythos. The book doesn’t dwell too deep into the lore of the franchise but there is enough information to satisfy any fan of the blue hedgehog. Presentation wise it gets an A. Not very common but my only gripe with the book is the amount of blurry/pixelated scans of some pieces of artwork. Some might find them to be rather shoddy but those are few and far between. Overall it is a must have for any Sonic fan

Despite the title, the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia is not very encyclopedic. If you want details on all the Sonic games, it's great, but if you're looking for in-depth sections covering character histories, worlds, and lore in the Sonic games or other media, you'll have to look elsewhere. Additionally, there are odd layout/content choices (for example: each game has a section for enemies, usually followed by a second section for enemies just for listing the levels they appear in; why isn't that a single section?), and the screenshots are often small and hard to see. The author also occasionally chooses to indulge in inside jokes instead of providing info.

Sonic the Hedgehog is one of my favorite video game icons of all time. When I learned that he was getting his encyclopedia detailing all of the games he’s been in as well as every single character from the franchise, I knew I had to buy it. This book looks gorgeous and I know every Sonic fan should pick it up while supplies last.

I’m grew up with sonic ever since I was a child. Reading this encyclopedia definitely brings back old memories for me playing Sonic games on the old Sega Genesis. The book provides detailed information for almost every sonic game that existed, even the obscure games. I highly recommend that newcomers and sonic fans should pick this one up.

For an actual history of the franchise and its development I would point you to the PixN’Love’s History of Sonic the Hedgehog but for a comprehensive visual list of every sonic game, its characters, enemies and bosses, this book has you covered. Pretty dry reading unless your a fan of the series, but it truly is an encyclopedia of the games.

Outside of some understandable goof ups, and even rather glaring ones. I liked it a lot, it's so awesome having all this info in my hands.

I didn't realize how big this book was. I purchased it as a gift and the recipient has been enjoying it. An actual, useful, real encyclopedia of all things Sonic. A must for fans of the blue hedgehog.

Perfect birthday present for my son who absolutely loves Sonic and all the games (as well as myself!) The book details all the games from the first Sonic right through to latest Sonic Mania and has particular detail about each (stages, about, enemies). Presented in a good quality hardback cover, it is easy to recommend.

Unfortunately this book covers the bare minimum in terms of sonic facts. This book is a not a sonic bible as previously advertised, its more like a lite wiki. It doesnt go deep into the lore of sonic or his world. majority of the facts covered have already been documented on the internet via youtube videos and online wikis. you wont find anything here to surprise you.

It's very good

This book is really good as it details all the games, I even noticed it has a section dedicated to the game collections including Sonic Mega Collection Plus (my first ever Sonic game).

Love this book. Fantastic to learn about the history of the Sonic The HedgehogFranchise and learn what I didn’t know beforehand. Definitely recommend this to every Sonic fan! 10/10
