Sonic Generations

After the disappointing sonic games on this gens consoles, it's nice to see a game that stays true to the original sonic games. The 2D sections of this game are almost exactly the same as the original sections. The 3D parts are also great! Each stage is a recreation of a stage on a previous sonic games, whether it's sonic heroes or sonic unleashed, they all play great.The boss enemies are epic too. You'll be surprised at how many characters from the sonic series are in this game! Alsong with the main story, there are lots of challenges and an online mode.Playing this game almost makes me want to play sonic unleashed... almost. Saga couldn't have done a better job on bringing the series back to life, and I hope that the future sonic games will be like this one.

Considering the time this game came out, It was refreshing to see Sonic go back to his roots to fix the troubled history of the franchise. The story isn't too complicated but it didn't need to be since this was a game celebrating the franchise's anniversary after all, and it didn't disappoint.

The early 2010s were an interesting time for SEGA since they were looking back in hindsight of some of the blunders of the previouse decade like Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic 06, SEGA took into account of fan's complaints and created Sonic Unleashed with the cutting edge Hedgehog Engine which broke the limits of what Sonic games could be. Following the awesome and imaginative Sonic Colours for the Wii, Generations is the second game that uses the hedgehog engine and improves on the gameplay even more.

With reimagined stages from past games, Sonic runs faster than ever before with stages so crisp and colourful, It's a joy to play every time. The return of classic sonic was also a great idea as every stage has a modern and classic mode to please all fans.

I loved this game and thought it was the perfect way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic character. With the Sonic movie coming out now listening to the fan's voices about what they really want to see from the character, Sonic's future is looking bright. Maybe SEGA will make a 3rd game using the Hedgehog Engine, come on SEGA, I know you read these reviews

Sonic Generations is a fantastic celebration of Sonic's history, blending classic and modern gameplay styles into a polished, enjoyable experience. Each level is carefully crafted, reimagining iconic stages from the series in stunning high-definition graphics that bring Sonic's world to life. Playing as both classic Sonic, with his traditional side-scrolling action, and modern Sonic, with his high-speed 3D mechanics, adds a great variety and ensures there's something for every fan to enjoy.

The visuals are vibrant and detailed, and the soundtrack is a highlight, featuring both remixes of classic Sonic tunes and new compositions that perfectly fit each level. The gameplay is smooth and responsive, capturing the speed and thrill of the Sonic experience while offering plenty of alternate paths and hidden secrets for players to discover.

However, the story is fairly minimal, missing some opportunities to deepen the unique dynamic between classic and modern Sonic. The character interactions are limited, with dialogue that could have added more personality or humor to the game. Additionally, the final boss is really dissapointing and nowhere near the level of quality of the other boss fight in the game, that are actually some of the best in the franchise.

Despite these minor flaws, Sonic Generations remains a joy to play. It's a must-play tribute to the franchise that excels in level design, visuals, and gameplay, making it one of the most memorable Sonic games for fans both new and old.

Sonic Generations is a breath of fresh air. Not only the best Sonic game in my opinion but also the best video game in history. With the game being hard that's a good thing. It's a challenge and challenge equals good depending on how the challenge is done. If the challenge is in the game that's good, if the challenge is in the controls that's bad. But thankfully Sonic Generations challenge is in the game. True it can be hard trying to figure out where to go but that makes it more challenging and better, giving you more room to explore. And the story is great with the appearance of multiple time holes, giving us a classic and epic time travel game. Even the boss battles are great. Metal Sonic, Shadow the Hedgehog, Silver the Hedgehog, Awesome. But the fact of there are only being three boss battles I do hate. Anyway, Sonic Generations gives great gameplay, great graphics, great story, and great challenge. In quote of what the back cover says: Old meets New and worlds collide. Also a Blast to the Past. But what the hey, give this game a try and see what you have been missing. Thanks for reading!

Sonic Generations is an enjoyable game that has a nice way for the gamers to remember the franchise. The story does seem pretty short for a Sonic game that leads the game to just play one act per character of the two and move on to the next. But it's still a pretty fun game with solid graphics, skilled gameplay that pays homage to the games with both classic and modern Sonic, and a nice amount of charm from previous Sonic games. This is the game I believe Sonic fans will have a good time with. Not just because it recaps the other games, but they also will be playing a Sonic game both the old and the new way. I don't believe that this is the best Sonic game. But for what it is, it did a good job in celebrating the gaming franchise's history.
