    Sonic Mania es lo que debería ser Sonic en todos sus juegos.

    El Sonic Team intenta romperse la cabeza con cada juego de Sonic, pensando en algo que revolucione la saga y que merezca la pena. A veces sale bien y por desgracia, la mayoría de veces no terminan de funcionar. Llevan desde Sonic Adventure 2 más o menos intentando cambiar por completo la fórmula.

    Total, Sonic Mania da una bofetada al cambio y se mantiene en lo clásico, pero lo hace de manera excelente. Lo he sentido como un remake de los originales con algún nivel nuevo. El movimiento tan fluido, el diseño de niveles que consigue niveles tan grandes y divertidos de jugar, la variedad de mecánicas del juego, el soundtrack tan inmersivo, los gráficos tan bonitos... Podría estar horas diciendo lo bueno que es Sonic Mania.

    Aunque si que hay cosas mejorables. Las vidas son escasas. Si bien no es un juego súper difícil, no hay prácticamente cajas de vidas, aunque si que sienta súper bien encontrarse con una. También que al pasar por un Game Over en el segundo acto tienes que repetir el primero. Son cosas que molestan a la hora de jugar, pero son detallitos frente a todo lo bueno que tiene Sonic Mania.

    Si te gusta Sonic y no lo has jugado, juégalo ya. Es un vuelta a los orígenes espectacular.    … Expand

    Sonic mania- это отличная переработка класических игр про соника.
    Начнём с плюсов: разнообразные уровни(всего их четырнадцать, пять из них оригинальные, остальны взяты из других игр про соника), отличные боссы с которыми мы сражаемся после первого и второго акта, отличающиеся враги на разных уровнях, на некоторых уровней есть свои особенности(взятые из класических и advance)

    Beautiful retro look. It is real pity however the game doesn't support fast back/forward and difficulty is rather high.

    Sonic Mania Plus Is One Of The Greatest Sonic Games Ever Made, And It Wasn't Even Sonic Team Who Made it. Sonic Mania Starts Off Right Where Sonic 3 & Knuckles Left Off At Angel Island.

They Get Teleported To Green Hill Zone From Sonic The Hedgehog 1 (1991) They Robots They Saw Get Transformed In To The Heavy Metals And The Game Begins. So Sonic Mania Is FULL Of References Longtime Fans And Newcomers Will Love. You Can Play As Sonic,Tails And Knuckles. Knuckles Has His Own Unique Stages. There Are New And Old Stages. Like The Return Of The Flying Battery Zone From Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (1994) And New Stages Like Press Garden Zone which Is A Printing Press And Act 2 Is A Beautiful Garden. There Is The Return Of The Blue Spheres Game, But There Is A Original Special Stage That Is Kinda Like A Race Track Chasing A UFO. Another Addition Is The & Knuckes Mode. which Replaces Tails With Knuckles And Is A Refremce To a Meme. Controls Are Immaculate They Are Perfection. But The Drop Dash OOOO BABY YEAH ITS SO GOOD!!!!!!! You Jump And The Hold A In The Air to Have A Mini Spindash. And The Elemental Shields Return From Sonic 3 & Knuckles. And That Make It So Good. Tails's Controls Are Like The Ones From Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Knuckles Is Also The Same From Sonic 3 & Knuckles . The Boss Fights Are Good. There Are Mini Animated Cutscenes Also which Are So Cute And Cool. The Game Would Be Good As Is But If You Buy The DLC ITS EVEN BETTER. New Playable Characters. Mighty From Knuckles Chaotix, And Ray From Sega Sonic The Hedgehog, And A New Mode With Special Stages. Overall Sonic Mania Plus Is A And Mods Make It EVEN BETTER!! OH MY GOD!! 9/10 The Only Bad Thing About Is The I Wish There Was More And More Original Stages.… Expand

    Doesn't work at all. First it says there is no sound and I need to install something from 2010 that I supposedly don't have, then it says it can't save and asks if I want to continue anyway, and if I say yes it says signout detected and goes back to the menu screen.

    This game got a lot of praise for going back to the old sonic games. I was never a massive fan of the old sonic games so this game was not a huge deal for me. I love the music and levels though.

    It's a good game and all but I was really hoping they'd bring in Jim Carrey for the mo-cap. if they do that for Sonic Mania 2 It'll be a goty guaranteed.

    A retuen to form of the blue blur the guy who did the sonic CD port and his team did a great job on this but this game does lack a lot of original stages especially since Sonic 4 ep 1 and 2, Lost world, Generations and Forces gave us Green Hill/ Green Hill ascetics a lot making it be a 9 and not a 10 in my book but still check it out.

    100% purely excellent ! Now I know the PC version had a problem with its DRM but I discovered the game on PS4, only to get much, much later the PC version as well. I loved the classic 2D Sonic games, and this is just perfect. Perfectly perfect. All the love has been poured into this masterpiece. So if you like 2D Sonic games, go get it immediately !

    It's a solid game with few outdated design choices, it's one of the best sonic games it had tight controls and brilliant level design and great boss battles with good soundtrack, the fast based platforming gameplay is great as ever, however I'm not fan of this outdated save system it makes the game kinda frustrating at times, despite that I really enjoyed myself it's very good.

    This is the best classic sonic game. It's simple like the genesis games, it has great music, and the drop dash is so satisfying to use. This game pretty much reminds you what made sonic popular in the first place. So if your a nostalgia nerd like me, a sonic fan, or just a gamer, then this is a must play.

    hablando terminos de juegos de sonic es un 10, hablando de juegos normales es un mhe.
    No esta mal, pero no soy fan de los niveles que te obligan a reiniciar por un camino sin salida o los niveles con agua.

    Developers took their favorite episodes from the first five Sonics, took them apart and made a remix with some special additions: several new elements came from Sonic games that were never released, others – from cut content, and some were made from scratch. So they ended up with a game that’s bursting with secrets and gameplay mechanics. [Issue#223, p.61]

    Sonic Mania boasts a level of polish, care, and attention to detail the franchise hasn’t seen since Sonic and Knuckles. The developers clearly love Sonic and Mania glows as a result. And while it still comes tethered to Denuvo DRM, the game at least is not affected by this.

    A breakneck platformer that uses classic Sonic as a foundation for something fresh and exciting.
