   Ahh, Sonic Generations. I finally decided to buy it for my PS3 earlier this year, and i didnt regret it. Beautiful graphics as always, tightAhh, Sonic Generations. I finally decided to buy it for my PS3 earlier this year, and i didnt regret it. Beautiful graphics as always, tight controls, and fun gameplay. Enjoy the retro style of Classic Sonic's levels as you are brought back to the early 90's with the young Blue Blur, then travel into the present day with Modern Sonic as you burst through stunning 3D environments, included the greatest and most memorable stages in the series's past for both Sonics, and even the end bosses remastered to give the experience variety, such as the infamous Silver fight from 2006 being completely recreated. The voice acting is decent. It'll be somewhat hard to get used to the new actors though, especially if you're like me and enjoyed the 4kids actors. But other than that, you'll find lots of fun, well-polished gameplay, and even replay value when you go back to play the wide selection of missions. Give the game a try, youll love it! Also available for XBOX 360, 3DS, and PC (if you have STEAM)… Expand

   Since Sonic Adventure 2 / Battle came great games, but not beyond SA2 / B for me, Sonic 2006 reached almost, if not the technical problemsSince Sonic Adventure 2 / Battle came great games, but not beyond SA2 / B for me, Sonic 2006 reached almost, if not the technical problems that the game has paid for the rush of Sony and Microsoft to launch the game it would have been best of all, Sonic Adventure 2 but still had that title for me, but now Generations could feel a game worthy of saying "the best Sonic game EVER," he left parts of the platform and very modern with multiple routes path, and keeping the lightning speed worthy of the Hedgehog, and even brought us the old Sonic from my childhood, a perfect blend, the gameplay with both Sonic's are excellent, everyone in the concept of his time in the best style platform / action we have phases of memorable games, the music totally nostalgic and a perfect remix, the phases are epically designed with two types of gameplay, very good graphics, excellent controls, it is no exaggeration on my part, who played and really like Sonic in two styles will know what I'm saying, SEGA and Sonic Team are to be congratulated again, a game that is already marked the history of our hedgehog cobalt, the best game EVER Sonic the Hedgehog!… Expand

   Sonic Generations is the best Sonic Game since Sonic 2!
   I admit i was kind of slipping from being a sonic fan after Sonic 06 but this gameSonic Generations is the best Sonic Game since Sonic 2!
   I admit i was kind of slipping from being a sonic fan after Sonic 06 but this game brought me back and its probably one of my favourite games of all time.
   
   The Story is something i can really appreciate as a Sonic fan since they are finally making jokes about themselves and it is hilarious, every line of dialogue is sure to make you atleast giggle!
   
   The Gameplay is everything we ever wanted from a perfect Sonic Game and thats Incredible speed,Momentum based Platforming and any other awesome additions certainly help the game stay fresh and new.
   
   and finally the Graphics are Breathtaking, you have to see them to believe them. (Especially if you got a 3D TV)
   
   In Conclusion Sonic Generations is one of the best games all year and it is definitely worth every penny of its purchase price! (oh and Rival Battles are EPIC)… Expand

   This might just be the best Sonic ever made. It blends old school and new school gameplay in a very nice balance. The original Genesis gamesThis might just be the best Sonic ever made. It blends old school and new school gameplay in a very nice balance. The original Genesis games were amazing, and this is the first time Sega has produced a Sonic game that can keep up with the greats. This is how sonic should have been transitioned into 3D in the first place. I'm truly impressed, and recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the first couple games from the Genesis days.… Expand

   If you do not mind, I would like to begin with a retrospective.
   Many of you may already know this but in recent years there have not been veryIf you do not mind, I would like to begin with a retrospective.
   Many of you may already know this but in recent years there have not been very good, with the worst one being Sonic the Hedgehog (06) and Unleashed which had day stages as one of it's only redeeming quality. Now I'll be honest, Unleashed overall wasn't a bad game at all, the werehog wasn't bad, it just didn't feel like Sonic. Now more recently Sonic Team has been on a pretty good streak with the releases of Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations (and hopefully they can keep up this quality). Now, onto the review.
   Story:
   I have to say, this is one of the best Sonic stories I've seen in ages, mainly because it's barely there and what little there is isn't meant to be taken too seriously. I appreciate that this game wasn't afraid to make fun of itself in some ways, and some of the dialogue lines actually got me to laugh. The most basic summary of the plot is, there's a time paradox, run fast to fix it. Naturally this game takes you through levels of previous games as well (for those of you who may not know) hence the title "Generations" and unfortunately takes levels from even the worst of the Sonic games, i.e. Sonic the Hedgehog (06).
   Gameplay:
   Gameplay, much like Sonic Unleashed, is divided into two parts, classic and modern Sonic, each of which plays the way you would expect. I would also like to note that this type of dual world gameplay works exceedingly better than the whole Werehog thing. Classic Sonic plays the way you old school Sonic plans expect it to, no homing attack and spin dashing a lot and sticking to the side scrolling roots, it is to be admired how the engine really captures the feel of the originals. As for Modern Sonic, He plays much like he did in Unleashed in the day stages, high speed action with occasional side scrolling bits, which unfortunately can break flow a bit and since you are typically going to be running way faster than classic, it is easy to not see where you're going during the side scrolling bits. Fortunately they did slow down the speed a little bit since Unleashed, this was never a problem for me, but some may not like it being slowed down (though it's not a drastic speed change). Now, when you navigate your way between levels, it is quite straightforward, all the levels are closely packed and you travel to them by running from a side scroller perspective. Another nice feature of the game is the ability to change the music for the levels, this may not sound like much, but it adds a bit of entertainment to find music that may or may not suite the level better than the default soundtrack. The game has plenty of features to keep you busy long after you've beaten the game.
   Presentation:
   Texture isn't that great, but given the speed of the game it is easily forgivable and it looks pretty gorgeous at times. The recreations of the classic stages are by far the most impressive part of the game (in my opinion) and a lot of work had clearly gone into them, dreamcast era levels look better but not nearly as much work was done to enhance visuals. The more modern games have a minor issue, such as there being a level from StH(06) but fortunately level design is far more intuitive than it's original version. I am pleased to say that the level they took from Unleashed wasn't a complete copy paste of the original, only a little. The overall presentation is good and framerate holds well.
   Verdict:
   I honestly don't like giving scores for my reviews, but I do recommend it though, this is probably the best Sonic game I've played since the classics and adventures. If you're a Sonic game, go do yourself a favor and buy it, you won't regret it… Expand
