Nov 6, 2011This game is THE greatest Sonic game of all time. It's fast paced and varied. There are tons of collectibles, and the possibilities for speed-runs and the secrets makes the game worth longer than simply beating the final boss. It's highly recommended

Nov 4, 2011Best Sonic game to grace the PC since well... ever. Graphics are crisp and clear which makes the console counterparts look a tad shoddy in comparison!
Hopefully this is the start of sega focussing more on future sonic games for the pc platform
If you're a sonic fan and have a pc, get this game. You wont regret it. -

Nov 7, 2011Biggest surprise of the year for PC players I believe. Such an exceptional port by an unknown developer that it was outsourced to. Now let's see if Volition can match it with the PC port of Saints Row 3.

Nov 8, 2011Well, after finally buying this for cheap on GMG, i can only say:
Holy **** this game is amazing. Great graphics and optimization, port isn't half-assed at all. It's an obvious 360 port, but it doesn't really matter because the core game is right there, and will soon be enhanceable due to mods. Get this version. -

Nov 5, 2011This game is awsome! Best sonic game to date. The Pc controls are a little hard to use but if you've got an xbox 360 controller the game is ready for it. There's a total of 45 level/activities to complete so the game has plenty of content to keep you busy. Also, Amazon.com version is $25 and it automatically ports into steam so its an easy way to save 5 bucks. 9/10.

Mar 7, 2012After a long time is this the first Sonic game i really enjoyed playing. It is fast with a adorable graphic style. Several little hidden things (like rings / ways) and a lot of mini challenges adds a nice long playtime. Short: buy and love it - like me

Nostalgia, talent and a beautiful finish complete this title, a must buy for any fan of the blue hedgehog.
I will give a perfect 10!! -
Nov 10, 2011Sonic Generations is possibly the best Sonic game ever. Yes, even better than the Genesis titles. I might be Sonic Sinning by saying that, but Iâ

Jan 9, 2012Great game and all kinda short but at least the challenges make it a little longer. i wish there was a way for a more adventure like option I always loved the exploration in the sonic adventure games we need a gameplay like that.
-
Jan 28, 2013Best 3D sonic game hands down. It is next to Sonic 3 and Knuckles as my favorite Sonic game. PC version has 60 fps, which for a game all about speed, makes for a smooth and visually appearing experience. Even a year and a half after launch, I find myself playing this game just as much as when I got it. Easily a 10/10 for me.

Dec 25, 2012Oh this game, this game. If you are a sonic fan and you play it since the first game you will simply love this game... you will see your entire childhood pass in front of you in this great anniversary party for Sonic. If you are not a Sonic fan, you can remove 1 or 2 points (it remains a very good game though). A bit buggy sometimes.

Dec 30, 2011Sonic Cycle has been broken. Aside from the bonus of nostalgia, this game looks and plays very nicely, with a good chunk of challenges to keep you occupied once you've cleared the main story.

Jul 21, 2012This is a great sonic title.
For those who played Sonic already on the Mega Drive (because the old sonic i included with modern graphics and 3d-effects) and for kids between us. -
Jun 23, 2012This game is a fantastic mix between classic Sonic and Sonic Adventure 2 (my personal favourite). The game is vivid, the dynamics are fast, and most importantly it's fun with high replay value. A great game for any gamer!

Aug 29, 2018Sonic Generations is the first Sonic 3D game I have completed. Got it very cheap for 6 dollars on the Steam Summer Sale, so don't spend money on Sonic Forces and play this beauty. It has all elements of the old 2D games and the 3D ones. Controls are perfect.
9.5/10 -

Oct 1, 2020This is the best Sonic game, hands down. The graphics are beautiful, the story is good and the gameplay is simply awesome. If you want a great 4 hour game and you like Sonic, this is a must play
-
Nov 24, 2011Simply wonderful. After a long time Sega finally hit on the formula and created a Sonic game as good as in its golden age. The controls work very well. The story is simple but functional. Nostalgia and fun are guaranteed.
-
Nov 3, 2011Impressed! The PC version is fantastic. A lot of options and great performance even on my laptop. Oh and the game is fantastic also, really the best of classic and modern together in one game.
-
Nov 5, 2011Brilliant! Fantastic ! This game is what every single fan of Sonic Waiting for Years. Finally Sega have doing a great game. If you like Sonic, you have to play this game.

Jan 19, 2013Great graphics. Good voice acting. Great models. Great use of unique Classic and Modern Gameplay where Classic shines out it's charm and funs missions that you want get bored of until the Red Rings show up. The only cirticms is a stupid story and a terrible, TERRIBLE Last boss.
-
May 9, 2012It's a good game. I wish Sega could have had a broader spectrum by adding more levels rather than just putting all of those side quests. The same goes for the music track. It would have been neat if Shadow, Silver, Knuckles and Tails could have also transformed into their super form in this game.

Nov 28, 2011Overall, Sonic Generations is a great package. The PC port suffers from odd bits of slowdown in one or two spots, and currently lacks the pre-order bonus content, but otherwise is a solid port to PC. The initial game is a bit on the short side, but the challenge levels provide ample content that feels just as fun as the core content of the game.

Nov 8, 2017The best 3D Sonic available.
Running at 60 fps in 1080p it looks great. The music is also excellent, taking original and remixes of tracks from previous games. While Classic Sonic stages aren't as good as Mania, and the story isn't much in itself, the 3D stages play so well - even better than Colours or Unleashed. And the side missions are pretty fun too, as are the skill upgrades. -

Oct 17, 2013Great game, fantastic mix of classic sonic games and new 3D series, wonderful stages full of color and details, wild and frantic pace that makes you be always focused and use your reflexes as no other platform game does ¡love it!.

Mar 20, 2014This game is just so awesome and really good if you wanna run again on some maps from the first game till Sonic Colors in 2D or 3D. The graphics of the game is just so amazing and the storyline was kinda cool and the gameplay is just so EPIC. I would DEFINITELY recommend this game to any Sonic fans. Even if you're not a Sonic fan, you should REALLY try this game out.

Aug 22, 2014The most enjoyable Sonic Game that I ever played!
For newbies, there you can play all best Sonic Games.
The Story was "nice". I miss the "whoaaooo" in the Story. But the Gameplay was funny and the Controlling is some getting used to. I recommend to play it with an Controller!
Sonic goes a right way! -

Feb 26, 2014The best SONIC THE HEDGEHOG game of all times, surpassing even the complete version of SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3. This game pays tribute to Sonic in everyway and reminds us why we love him in everyway. This is one of those games that has to be carried over to the next generations of console games, especially Nintendo consoles (Sonic does much better with Nintendo than the other guys).

Apr 18, 2015This game is really well done, I love the Classic and Modern levels.
The PC version has to be the best, because of all the mods people are making!
I just wish that Sonic wasn't the only playable character. -
Jun 28, 2015Nostalgia at its finest! This is probably on my top favorite sonic game list. It is so inventive when it comes to its lush environments and graphics are just awesome. I hope this spark of magic returns one day/
-
Aug 15, 2015This is one of my favorite PC games. It's a blast, filled with great music, awesome graphics, and a large tribute to Sonic and his days throughout the past 24 years. I seriously recommend it to any Sonic fan, whether they be Classic, Adventure, or Modern. However, if you have an old PC or a bad laptop, don't expect to play this game without some graphical downgrades and/or lag.
-
Sep 28, 2016a return to the roots of the franchise,while at the same providing something new, Sonic Generations will appeal to both the classic sonic fans and modern sonic fans alike, with fast paced gameplay and a nice fan service-centric plot

Nov 14, 2015A good game, MUST BUY.
Pros: Go fast
Classic Sonic stages are impressive
Graphics
MODS!
Cons: Short story
Some levels have painful difficulty spikes
Challenges
Although again it is good game, buy it. -
Aug 22, 2015This is the best sonic I've played. Everything is perfect in this game, the graphics, the game play, the soundtrack etc. The only problem with it was the forgettable story and how you couldn't play as other characters like Tails and Knuckles. Besides that it's still amazing.
-
Nov 26, 2015I give this game a 9/10.Nice level design,music from other sonic games,play as 2 sonic,returning bosses and rivals,very good 3d graphics,lots of mods,modern sonic is really fast.This game is so good in the PC version.

Feb 10, 2019With gorgeous graphics that hold up to this day, amazing music and gameplay that is incredibly fun and satisfying, Sonic Generations is one of my favourite platformers to date. The PC version is easily the best version of the game with 1080p 60 fps and tons of mods that keep the game fresh.

Jul 5, 2018Este juego me maravillo, ya que recorres todos los niveles que paso Sonic 2D y 3D, aunque debo destacar que es muy corto en mi opinión, en 5 horas me lo llegue a terminar.

Feb 4, 2018One of the best Sonic Game and the best Modern Sonic Game. If you are a Big Fan of Sonic, or if you never played Sonic, it will be an amazing experience.

PC Master (Greece)Mar 1, 2012Overall, Sonic Generations is a well-designed, welcome exception to the massive circulation of violent games in the market, a 'game' that represents perfectly the pure meaning of the word. [February 2012]

PC Gamer UKJan 29, 2012If you know what it expects of you, there's a thrill to some of Generations' showier moments. If not, prepare to hit a series of brick walls at high speed. [Feb 2012, p.93]

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 19, 2012Nicely connected 2D past with 3D future Sonic is a remarkable return of the once popular console hero. The hedgehog is in very good shape regardless of his 2D or 3D dimension. [Christmas 2011]
