☺ Brilliant side scrolling platforming.
☺ Nostalgia filled.
☺ Looks, runs and plays smooth.
☺ Great soundtrack.

☹ 3D platforming could be better.
☺ Bosses are a bit of a let down.

Recommended for everyone who enjoys solid Platforming games but especially fan's of Sonic's past games.

(Note: This game was played with a controller).

Sonic Generations is a wonderful game that celebrates Sonic's long gaming history while managing to provide something fresh and enjoyable. It's a real nostalgia filled treat as you travel to iconic zones from previous games in completely new levels that reimagine the classics with crisp visuals, an amazing soundtrack and faithful gameplay.

There's a little something for all of Sonic's fans here, whether you started with the classics or are a newcomer to the series. The game features the blisteringly fast paced (but never uncontrollably so) sidescrolling platforming the series is known for, refined 3D levels that certainly feel better than previous games attempts, a multitude of ways to reach the goal that can keep replayabilty high, a new soundtrack that echo's the themes of previous games and a great deal of content to keep you busy for hours.

As always, Dr Eggman (or Dr Robotnik to some) is up to his old tricks and in his attempts to stop Sonic once and for all, has brought chaos to the timelines bringing old and new together. You'll play as both the cute classic Sonic and the more lean modern Sonic in their attempts to stop him and restore the correct timeline. As well as the 9 main acts (18 levels) there are around 90 'challenges' that shake things up a bit, such as collecting a specific number of rings before you reach the goal or even calling on the aid of some familiar faces to help you out.

While the sidescrolling platforming is among the best the series has to offer, the 3D platforming, while not bad, isn't quite up to the same quality. This is in part due to controls that can sometimes cause frustration and the overall lack of platforming as you simply slide from side to side as you hurtle forwards. Also of slight disappointment are some of the boss battles, most notably the final boss, which feel a bit out of place and are certainly not as fun as the old classics.

Sonic Generations is quite the anniversary present that I'm sure will not only delight old fans but will likely create some new ones as well! While the game has a couple of missteps, it never falls flat on its face and remains an enjoyable experience from start to end - well recommended!

This game is awesome. 10/10

It does, however, have some bad technical issues and as such requires a very fast computer to run. Despite that however, there are only a few bugs and this is definitely the best 3d sonic game thus far, barring the sonic stages from SADX/maybe SA2. Even if you can't run this, I beg you to pick up a copy on the 360, however I wouldn't recommend it otherwise as this game has a large and awesome modding community that greatly expands the game's length with level mods.

Oh, and the Unleashed Project should have a permanent home on your hard drive.

Sonic generations is the best sonic game ever made cause of having 2 sonic with the modern and the good old classic sonic. The graphics itself blew my mind of how outstanding it is and how fun is to race to the end of the stage. But when playing as the modern sonic the music of all the stages have a nice remix and for the classic sonic it was nice to bring back the old classic sonic theme for the 2 stages like green hill and chemical plant stages. The classic sonic acts have a nice sidescrolling action to it but for the modern has a nice fast pace why trying to get to the end. Over all Sonic generations is a great game that brought the best sound track,bosses,and the good old stages from the past sonic games

I LOVE SONIC GENERATIONS

Sonic Generations is very fun, very fast-paced, and has plenty of variety in its gameplay. The music is pulled from games throughout the series' history, so it's great. The visuals are vibrant and detailed- they take a lot of power to render, though, so you'll likely experience frame rate issues on a less powerful PC. Each level is quick and fun, and there's extra challenge modes to keep you at it for a while longer. So will mods, because there's quite a few good ones.

Not everything's great. First and foremost is that this is a port, and a bad one. Many options can only be changed outside the game. The controls are clunky and awkward. Reconfigure them as much as you please, there's no way to make them work perfectly on a keyboard. Doesn't help that all the button prompts show 360 controller buttons instead of keys. I'd definitely play with a controller if I were you.

And if you came for story, leave now. This is a very uninspired plot, really just an excuse to bring back classic levels. The "humor" is dumb. And the voice acting is a mixed bag.

But get the game anyway. It's fun.
