Still the Best Modern Sonic Entry

(Originally Posted December 28th, 2018 on Steam) 7 years later... When I first played this in 2011 on the PS3 I was obsessed with it. So much so that it was one of the games I platinumed (100%) out of… Read more

A lapsed Sonic fan pulled back in

(Played as part of Sonic X Shadow Generations on Steam Deck, with both Japanese text and voice, aka “Sonic Generations White Space” rather than 3DS’ very own “Sonic Generations Blue Adventure” 5 hours… Read more

wish to play it

i haven't played it, but I've seen how it's been played on many different youtube videos. it may not have perfect gameplay compared to Super Mario galaxy, but it has a better story plot. The game's no… Read more

Solid, if somewhat generic title that relies a bit too heavily on nostalgia.

ART STYLE: For 2010, these graphics are average, with some strangely jagged textures. I am a particularly huge opponent of the god-awful washed out “white space” style they employ on the hub world. I… Read more

A different take on the blue blur.

Originally written 4-10-12 Sonic is thrown a surprise birthday party by Tails. They're having a good time until some monster appears ripping apart time and space, which leads to present Sonic and Tail… Read more

3 Time Periods, 2 Blue Blurs, 1 Goal.

Originally written 11-20-11 Sonic is thrown a surprise birthday party by his friends. The group are having a good time until some monster appears and kidnaps everyone except for Sonic. The blue blur t… Read more

3 Time Periods, 2 Blue Blurs, 1 Goal.

Sonic is thrown a surprise birthday party by his friends. The group are having a good time until some monster appears and kidnaps everyone except for Sonic. The blue blur takes off after this creature… Read more

Sonic Generations

The fall of “Sonic the Hedgehog” has been a severe one. Sonic was responsible for pushing the Genesis to greater sales than the SNES in the US, but is now shoved into Nintendo mini-game collections wh… Read more

Generational Gap.

Surprisingly charming and just straight-up fun to play, Sonic Generations was certainly a good palate cleanser in a world full of guns and gore. I can't say the game is perfect - Sonic games usually f… Read more

Mixes both new and old into one great Sonic experience

Pros: -Good visuals -Great soundtrack -2-D and 3-D Sonics are both great to play -Lot's of challenges and extras -Stages are dynamic and fun Cons: -A bit short -Last boss is confusing Modern day Sonic… Read more

You don't need to be a Sonic fan to appreciate this game

I am not a huge fan of the Sonic series. Of course, I played the first 3 games on Mega Drive (or Genesis) but never finished any of them. The games got pretty dull for me when they became less about t… Read more

It's The Best Sonic's Been in a Long While, But Does that Matter?

Sonic Generations is the best Sonic game to come out in a decade, maybe even in two decades. That statement may not mean all that much since Sonic’s brand has been known to be disappointing after Soni… Read more

Sonic Finally Gets His Groove Back...

Sonic The Hedgehog has been through some tough times this console generation. First there was the disappointing and abysmal 2006 "reboot." Then there was Sonic Unleashed, where half of the game was go… Read more

A good Sonic game! Who'd have thunk it?

I haven't really played a Sonic game since 2006's Sonic the Hedgehog. Why? Because I played 2006's Sonic the Hedgehog. It was god awful. And word of mouth hasn't been too polite to most of the games f… Read more

Is the Sonic cycle finally over?

If you’ve been playing Sonic games for the past 10 years I’m sure this is one of the top questions on your mind when you hear that the next sonic is around the corner. It’s been 20 years now since son… Read more

A solid show and one of the better Sonic games of late

Sonic fans are some of the most abused fans out there. Time and time again there are lofty promises about some new Sonic game. The fans, like the fools they are, get their hopes up that maybe this tim… Read more

Returning to Form

Sonic the Hedgehog. One of gaming's most enduring icons, but not for lack of trying. The past ten years have not been kind to the blue blur. The Dreamcast was canned, attempts to branch out in terms o… Read more

Sonic Generations Review

Sonic the Hedgehog as a character could not seem to get the universal acclaim it once had, with each iteration into the era of 3D bringing in more complaints ranging from control issues, gimmicky game… Read more

A Step in the Right Direction

In 1991 Sega’s speedy blue mascot made his debut on the Sega Genesis. He became popular almost immediately spawning numerous sequels and spin-offs. In 2001 Sonic made his transition in 3D as most plat… Read more

Finally a Half Decent Sonic Game

Sonic, now there is a franchise that has had ups and downs in the last decade. Sega has tried to do there best to make sure Sonic can do as good as the Genesis/Mega Drive days but repeatedly has faile… Read more

To be this good takes Generations

Few franchises in the entertainment industry have seen as many ups and downs as Sonic the Hedgehog. And yet, some how, for some reason, the little blue guy has endured 20 years of astronomical highs a… Read more

A cash in with little value to those who aren't long time fans.

Introduction Let me begin this review by saying I am a very big fan of the Sonic series. I have played just about every game in the main series from Sonic the Hedgehog all the way to this. I enjoyed t… Read more

Older, but not Wiser.

The game asks me if I’m ready. I’m not sure if I am. The first time I entered the Chemical Plant Zone, I was a child, playing on a cousin’s Genesis. I was blown away. It was weird, there was unexplain… Read more

A fully charged spin dash in the right direction.

Sonic Generations is a good game and a deserving entry for the franchise, that much simply must be stated right away considering the history of the franchise. Whether you love them or hate them, the f… Read more

Filled with fanservice, yet flawed, Generations sets a high note

To say that Sonic has seen better days is as overstated as it is obvious. While 2010's Sonic Colors showed that Sonic in three dimensions wasn't an entirely lost cause, the title's odd Wii exclusivity… Read more

Is it time to put Sonic down?

To say sonic has had a interesting history as a video game would be an understatement. And at 20, there will be many thinking is it time to let the little blue hedgehog have a nice long endless sleep.… Read more
