To be completely honest, this was my first Sonic game. I bought it because it looked pretty good, and i wanted another game for my 3DS. After playing it, i found it to be much more fun than i had expected. I expected the plot of the game to not really have one, just a bunch of old Sonic levels redone. Though the plot was hard to follow at the beginning, though it made good and entertaining sense later in the game. The actual gameplay was fun, though some of the time, i just found myself holding down the right direction. After the dull moments passed, the game was full of enemies, pit-fall traps, and challenges that required quick refelxes, which is what made the game really fun. All the boss battles were fun and quick paced, especially the final two. By around the end of the game, both modern and classic sonic seemed to be nearly identical; after classic acquired boost and homing attack, the two seemed too similar. Overall, though, the game in its entirety was a fun and exhilerating game.

This game is awesome.It has a ton of features I can't even describe in 5 paragraphs!First I would like to tell u that don't be fooled by the bad reviews.In fact, this Sonic game is so great it's better than ANY Sonic game on ANY system.First feature is that since this is Sonic's birthday, you get to share how much you've been his fan, your favorite sonic game of all time, and your favorite character from the Sonic series.The levels are really fun, either with classic Sonic or modern Sonic.If you want an extreme 3d level display this is what you want.It shows the best 3d for the 3ds.Besides the display, the gameplay is great.You get to do homing attacks, boosts, the good al spin dash or spin roll, and jumping on enimies the old way.The 3ds exclusive features feature multiplayer mode, whether online of multi-game cards, or use the streetpass feature to unlock new missions.Overall, it's Sonic's best birthday celebration in 3d!!!!!!

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

It's a very fast game that takes a lot of time to master in order for you to experience the best parts of every level. You're going to want to practice a lot so you can compete against another online and see who is the fastest, obviously the person that can access the extra rails and secrets of a level. You can probably beat the game right away but a greater part of the game is up there higher or in secret areas you might want to explore for unbelievable eye candy. The first level is gorgeous and truly shows off the best of the 3DS, perhaps better than Nintendo can themselves. If you owned a Sega Gamegear like myself, you're going to appreciate a little more the advancement of the 3DS. If you owned a Sega Dreamcast too, you're going to love the seaside level that poses quite a challenge! I give it a 9/10 for gameplay because I wished the main game was a little longer, but the graphics are so intense that it explains where all the time went into TRUST ME! The mushroom level reminded me of Everquest 2 computer graphics.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

I got Sonic Generations for the 3DS for Xmas. I played the first level, and I honestly didn't like it. I was bored of playing Mario Kart for hours so I decided to play this a little more and I fell in love. The levels were fun and difficult, with many enemies to defeat. The bosses were all very creative and challenging at first, but once you learn their secrets, it gets a little easier. The sound was amazing, along with the graphics. I had one problem. The game was shorter than expected. It consisted of around 10 or so levels. They were all very fun, but I wish there was more. If you play for 2-3 days for a couple hours, you could beat it. I 100% recommend this game!

This game is perfect for: kid gamers

I don't give games a 1 very often, but I felt like I had to for this game. Why? Because the price that is being asked is ridiculous. WHEN YOU CONSIDER that this game is poorly made. I really had very little fun mainly because of the bland, uninspired level design. The floaty jumps also make this Sonic game very frustrating in many parts as mentioned in the other person's review. This game has recieved mixed review scores from critics, most of them never praise anything in the game. There is hardly anything in the levels that you will have very little reason to even want to go back and play the after main game. Which barely lasts about 7 short hours. The extra "missions" merely serve as cheap padding for an already anorexic game.

I sincerely think this game deserves about a 6. But the score needs to be averaged out on here.There are a wealth of problems that keep this game from deserving a great score. I enjoyed Sonic's DS outings much more than this.

Sonic's The Name, Here's His Game

Posted on:8/20/11

Merrick

Well, Sonic has been very busy lately. He enjoyed the return of classic sonic gameplay in Sonic 4, sped through yet another Grand Prix of Eggman's in Sonic Free Riders, and booked a trip to Eggman's Outer Space Theme to trash Eggman's plans! Doesn't look like Sega's going to give the blue blur a break anytime soon, either. He has a new game around the corner, Sonic Generations, to celebrate his 20th birthday!

Somehow, Modern Sonic gets sucked back into the past, and meets the old school, classic Sonic there! They must team up to take down an unknown enemy who brought Modern Sonic there. To do this, players must play through remixed versions of old, and some new, stages.

Each stage may carry the same graphic theme and music, but the Sonic you play them in changes the experience drastically. Classic Sonic plays like the old school Sonic games, mainly 1 and 2. In place of speed that the latest Sonic games have been using is platforming. Modern Sonic is the exact opposite. The talkative, cocky Modern version of Sonic relies on speed to get his way through each level, complete with a boost bar, ground-pounds, homing attacks, and a number of other moves Sonic has learned over the years. These segments are similar to the gameplay in Sonic Colors for the DS.

Some other interesting things is how the music will be approached. While playing Classic Sonic on Green Hill Zone will play a enhanced version of the old theme from the original, Modern Sonic's music on the same stage will be essentially a remixed version. But it's also cool how it's the opposite when you play in more modern Sonic stages. Classic Sonic's stage theme will be a simpler, tune of the modern song, while Modern will retain the same song used from the game.

The stages these hedgehogs run through are a joy to look at, too. Since the world of Sonic is so colorful and well made, it should look fantastic in 3D. So far, I've seen zones Green Hill, Casino Night, Launch Base, and Mushroom Hill in action, and they all look fantastic in motion!

So far, the game's graphics, levels choice, and gameplay are looking great! I hope Sega keeps up the great work in the days leading up to it's holiday release! In the meantime, you should all get practicing on Colors! You don't wanna be stuck on the first level of Generations!

This game is perfect for: casual gamers

This game is too short. In general it does not give a challenge, but once you beat it you still have missions to complete, which makes the game replayable.I like the numerous references to past Sonic games, and I'm actually surprised that Sega put characters like Silver the hedgehog in the game, you would probably expect him to be in a Sonic game for the PS3 or something like that, but with that said, moving on. The physics in the game are nearly perfect, not like Sonic the hedgehog 4 where you need no momentum or speed to go around loops, this game does not have that. The spin dash is very powerful and gets you around fast. Honestly, as an anniversary game, this stuff in the game is more than needed, but in a good way. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who is a Sonic fan. References to basically every Sonic game, what more can you ask for.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers

Alot of people disregarded this version simply because it was a handheld. But also remember most of SEGA's highest rated games are handhelds : The Rush series and Sonic Advance series. But this game is great considering this is SEGA'S FIRST TIME experimenting with the 3ds. The 3d enhances the already fun gameplay. The best parts of the game are the graphics and well crafted soundtrack!! The gameplay is the best of Sonic's handhelds that I've played. They got classic Sonic's physics down to the tee!! It's exactly like Hedgehog 2 except a little slower. But the game is very bright and vibrant. And even though Modern Sonic is not in 3d he uses springs to pop in the background and to the front of the screen which kinda makes up for not having 3d. It actually plays with your depth perception quite well. One thing that turned me off as a life long Sonic fan is that fact that Shadow out runs Sonic in this game, considering the fact that the rival bosses are races like in Sonic rivals it's pretty easy to see. It dosen't matter how long your boosting, Shadow will boost attack you and pass you. Never the less Shadow is a fun challenge so I love testing the speed! The game is so good that my biggest complaint is that it's too short!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up SEGA!!!!!
