    First off, it should be known that Sonic Generations' pros do outweigh its cons. What's lovable are its breathtaking visual makeovers to its classic levels, fun controls, and extensive bonus features, including the new 30-second challenge which fits the Sonic games' essence perfectly. If I were to list one major con though, it would be the story: dialogue and plot together. Each time youFirst off, it should be known that Sonic Generations' pros do outweigh its cons.

If I were to list one major con though, it would be the story: dialogue and plot together. Each time you complete a level, I recommend doing so as Classic Sonic, so that the reactions of his friends at least have a hint of humor in them.

    But hey, when the story mode's done, you are left with a grand library of Sonic history that should definitely stand as a landmark in the franchise.    … Expand

    For the most part Sonic Generations succeeds at making a fun game! Classic Sonic controls extremely well, and Modern Sonic levels felt extremely fresh to play, especially Sega Genesis based levels. All in all. Sonic Generations is a fun game that celebrated the 20th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog and continues to be a solid game!

    Absolutely great game. Best way to celebrate the series' 20th anniversary, with solid modern and classic gameplay, and amazing soundtrack with a lots of lovely remixes.

    This is really a fantastic game. The asset of speed is definitely present and boy is it exhilarating! The story and game play are both great and although I never grew up with this game, it showed me the full extent of what the sonic team can do. The platforming parts can be slightly annoying on some parts, but the fantastic graphics make up for that big time.

    This game is the perfect blend of satisfaction and nostalgia for all those OG sonic players, and brings new light to players just getting into the sonic saga. Definitely get this game :D    … Expand

    This is the best boost game it nails gameplay.
    Level design is amazing boost is good classic sonic feels good to control. but the story is a mixed bag. I found my self laughing at the jokes beacuse it's so bad its good. honestly anybody who likes the boost formula is obligated to play
    this game.

    I have only a few things to say here! Best Boost game, hands down, my most liked story by Pontac and Graff, fun speed and platforming from both Classic and Modern Sonic, seriously, what else do I have to say? 9/10, I didn't ask about your opinion, goodbye

    Judging by Sonic Generations, Sega is willing and able to learn from its mistakes. The developers did not take advantage of the success of the first games of the Sega MegaDrive era, but tried to summarize all the best that happened to Sonic in 20 years of his life. They ended up doing. But also no problem.

    Um presente para os fãs da velha guarda.
    Um capricho, um show visual e nostálgico, tudo feito com tanto carinho e cuidado, e sua otimização está maravilhosa.

    bro i think the game is a little bit overrated, its not a lot to do, the challanges after you make a theme, its nice but there is missing a big part in games like that, and because of that i like frontiers there is missing a big open world to do more in these games, only 4 hours long games? na

    El mejor juego de Sonic actualmente. Tiene unos gráficos que actualmente sorprenden y incluso rivalizan con juegos recientes.

Tiene unos gráficos que actualmente sorprenden y incluso rivalizan con juegos recientes. En pc, puedes disfrutar de la tasa de fotogramas tan suave que tiene, además de tener una buena optimización. Tiene un gameplay muy satisfactorio, en este juego han aprovechado la formula moderna para recrear niveles antiguos y poder disfrutar del boost en ellos. Tienes zonas de todo tipo basadas en juegos antiguos de Sonic para sorprenderte mas de alguna vez y ver que alguna de ellas te suena de algo (aunque en la actualidad es un poco cansado que repitan tanto las mismas zonas realmente). Las únicas pegas que puedo darle es el Boss de Shadow, ya que lo desaprovecharon de una manera inmensa al hacer ese Boss muy fácil, podría haber sido la revancha épica que parte del fandom esperaba, pero ha sido realmente muy fácil. La otra pega es el Boss final: No te hace completamente nada, la primera vez que lo juegas no sabes como hacerle daño o acercarte a el y aun así no pierdes. Por otra parte lo molesto es la típica frase de "es un disparo rastreador", donde comienza a cansar y debes silenciar las voces del juego. Teniendo esas cosas negativas, no importa al fin y al cabo. Repito que me parece el mejor juego de Sonic hecho por el momento: tiene mucha re jugabilidad, tanto en el juego original o con mods, donde puedes poner otros mapas y personajes. Es un juego brillante, donde la historia no es mala al fin y al cabo, es entretenida. Todo el layout de los mapas me parecen correctos, sin ninguna parte aburrida o mal construida: Los mapas te dejan disfrutar de la adrenalina del boost a toda velocidad. Simplemente de mis juegos favoritos.… Expand

    Boost era at it's best, both Sonics control extremely well and the level design is some of the best in the whole series

    Unfortunately game's kinda short, would have benefited from a level pack DLC or two

    One of the best 3D Sonic games ever

    Sonic Generations is really the perfect mix of old and new. The game really is almost perfect, but only almost. So let's get to the con side first.

    Sonic Generations is really the perfect mix of old and new. The game really is almost perfect, but only almost. So let's get to the con side first.

    Cons:

    - The game is relatively short, maximum 2 1/2 hours if you are fast. But the first run can take 6 hours +.
    - The story is unfortunately very boring. For the most part, the main protagonists just stand around in the white nothingness and hardly interact with each other.
    - Unfortunately, you notice that the game was very rushed to the end.
    - The physics of Classic Sonic is sometimes a bit strange.
    - The final Super Sonic boss fight is SOO unspectacular, so compared to all the others, really garbage.

    So, let's get to the positive side.

    Pros:

    - The soundtrack is as always top class.
    - The graphics leave nothing to be desired, they are really great. You can tell that the engine of Sonic Unleashed has been adopted 1:1. Also that this game has 120 FPS support is really nice, especially for such a fast game.
    - The levels are really well designed. It was certainly not an easy task to transform original 2D stages into 3D and vice versa, and I really think that the Sonic team did a great job.
    - The gameplay is also mega, with Sonic taking on the gameplay that evolved from entering the Boost era and Classic Sonic feeling FAST like it did in the old Mega Drive titles back in the day.

    All in all, Sonic Generations is a really well done game, I highly recommend it to everyone.    … Expand

    Sonic Generations truly is a „Best of 20 years Sonic the Hedgehog“. With 18 levels and 90 challenges in both 2d and 3d, this game gives enough content, thats replayable enough to justify the 20 bucks pricetag. You will find it on sale regularly, so please give it a shot

    Not a perfect game, but one of the best in the series. I had a lot of fun with her. I recommend it to every Sonic fan, as well as to beginner players who are just getting acquainted with the series!

    Overall, 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]

    If 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]

    Nicely 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]
