    Play with mods, you won't regret it.
    The game isn't bad like Unleashed so there's that as well to consider.

    Incredible, it is an excellent game for those who want to know the franchise. Although it is easy and very short, lasting less than 3 hours, it is very good, it could be better, having more levels, more challenges, being more long-lived and having a third Sonic being the one from the Adventure era, "pre-boost" in this case, and also a much better story and setting.

    Both Modern/Classic Sonic were great designed. And I liked how they kept Classic Sonic mute all the time it fits him so well.

    The side missions that you finish to collect all the 3 keys are pretty fun. I only played 2 side missions, they were fun specially Blaze's one that you have to use her to calm the fire that blocks your way I had fun with that.

    The controls are acceptable and the button places are perfect for good usage.

    --------------

    Sadly, The movement annoyed me so much. Modern Sonic is too fast and he needs to collect icons in the mission but he won't slow down and the icons are tiny that you need at least 4 seconds to get them right.

    Even Classic Sonic has the same issue. He is a slow braker. Even with 'Power Brake' skill he always slips a foot before a complete stop.

    The stage building/design is somewhat bad. They are so long that it may take 4-6 minutes to finish. The enemies distribution, they are everywhere and their shots always hit Sonic.

    I didn't finish the final boss. The controls were hard to use. Modern Sonic is too fast. And Classic Sonic is too slow and hard to move.

    Summation: I tried my best to like this game. I really did. And I played a lot just to prove that I am wrong and this game is good, but unfortunately I failed to.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Story: Pretty much non-existent: Classic Sonic is running through Green Hill, he sees a monster, Sonic and his friends are celebrating Sonic's birthday, the same monster shows up and eats Sonic's friends, he goes to White World, start playing the game.
    Graphics: Fantastic. The Boost games always looked great, but now, they're in 3D (Unleashed wasn't in 3D for some reason, and Colors was on the Wii and HD wasn't a thing on the Wii).
    Music: I LOVE the remix, and sometimes, I just feel like listening to the Music Player.
    Gameplay: This is where Sonic Generations fall flat: Classic Sonic. I don't really like his playstyle. The Boost, though, is great. However, there were a couple of times where I was boosting for the level design and I just rammed into a wall.

    Overall, Sonic Generations is a great game.    … Expand

    Sonic Generations is just a really good game, and I'll go into detail about everything.

    The sound is amazing (like every other Sonic game). My favorite track would probably have to be either Modern Speed Highway or Modern Seaside Hill.
    The art is also amazing, with bright visuals, and things not straying too far from the Sonic the Hedgehog world.
    The level design isn't all too good, I feel there are a lot of 2D sections.
    Now, the main thing that makes all the greatest is the Boost formula. I like the Boost formula far more than any other play-style Sonic has ever had due to its main specialty on speed. Unfortunately, it does have 2D sections (as I've said), and it tries to put in 3D platforming elements that don't work for a speed-centric play-style.
    Now, you may think the flaws I have already stated are what give the game a ranking of 9, but no. That title belongs to Classic Sonic. Now, for a game like this, it makes sense for him to be here, but I just don't like how he's fully 2D, as well as a little crutch for the developers if the Boost fails. Even more, he just takes more playtime away from Sonic. Now, yes, Classic not being in the game would make the game a lot shorter, seeing as levels only take 2+ minutes, but they should then just make more levels! They don't need to make a bunch of ideas, they have like... 50 at their disposal.
    All in all, this is a great game and I cannot wait for a Sonic Generations 2 for Sonic's 30th Anniversary.    … Expand

    You ever purchase a greatest hits compilation from a band or artist?

A collection of some of the best songs written by an artist, not only as a way to bring back memories to long-time fans, but to also show people who have never heard of them a brief glimpse into their history and to give them an idea of what they are capable of. Now imagine that Greatest Hits release, but with remixed and remastered audio, and sometimes even re-recorded vocals, to help give it a refreshing, modernized sound. Changes like this don’t always work, but when put in the right hands and with enough passion and care put into, it can be something really special. Sonic Generations is like that remastered collection.

    Sonic Generations is broken up into two gameplay styles. We have Classic Sonic with the familiar 2D Genesis gameplay, and Modern Sonic with the established boost formula from Unleashed and Colors. You’ll be going through various stages presented throughout Sonic’s history, from Green Hill to Speed Highway to Planet Wisp. Classic Sonic is not 1-to-1 like the original Genesis titles, his weight and physics do feel off a bit, but he still works perfectly fine and you can used to his new physics pretty easily. Modern Sonic in this game is the best he’s ever been in this style. The control has received enough tweaks to make it more manageable compared to Unleashed and Colors. The level designs on both end are great, filled with different pathways and shortcuts to help you get the best time. This is most impressive with Modern Sonic as his levels are some of the most open-ended 3D levels in the series. The boss fights, while easy in some cases, are incredibly memorable and even major improvements from their original counterparts. The game looks fantastic and there are tons of great remixes of classic songs.

    For as short as the main story is, the game offers you plenty of additional content. Each area of the game contains side missions. While you’ll need to complete at least three per area to progress, everything else is just there to provide you with some variety. Some range from simple races, to more creative missions involving other Sonic characters like scavenger hunts or being aided by them to complete a level. Not all of the side missions are winners, though, as a few of them can be quite frustrating to beat, but given that they can be skipped it’s not a big deal. Completing side missions can also offer concept artwork or even music tracks that you can play in the stages themselves which is always a nice bonus. Same goes for the returning Star Rings from Sonic Colors which do the same thing. You can also purchase additional skills from Omochao’s item shop to give you an extra edge. Honestly, the real replay value comes from the fact that these levels are so fun to play through, the most fun I’ve had in a 3D Sonic game in a long time.

    This collection isn’t quite perfect though. It’s missing a few key components like fan-favorite songs and it kind of feels like they didn’t have the time to go far enough with certain details, either that or they only cared to do the bare minimum. The story for this game is easily the biggest missed opportunity. It had so much potential for character interactions, in-jokes and commentary on the series as a whole, but it is absolutely thread-bare in this game. I know that story isn’t what you would normally play a Sonic game for, but the extra effort would have been appreciated. The game could also have really benefited from additional levels as downloadable content. That’s not really too big of a deal though as the level selection is solid as is.

    This game is just a gigantic love letter to fans of the franchise, especially those that have been sticking with it since its inception. It’s not a perfect relationship, but when they get it right they absolutely nail it. This was the first game I ever pre-ordered, because I had that much confidence in the product and I was willing to pay Sega in advance for it. Still totally worth it.    … Expand

    Some 3d levels were perfect. I had fun grinding rails and outrunning big enemies in closed streets. But most levels had unfinished areas to fall into, causing you to die because of unresponsive controls. Jumping is clearly laggy. Many times I had my joystick pointed one way but Sonic boosted the opposite way.

    On the surface, and after a few hours it seems like a good game, but the bad points and unfinished nature of the game outwheigh anything positive. It is perfectly clear to me Sonic Team has not made a good game in 20 years. I can't recommend this Sonic game to anyone.

    It's not perfect (read: M-speed is a flaw in the Hedgehog Engine, and it's f*cking hilarious), but it's a fun experience and I suggest you pick it up.    … Expand

    Sonic generations is the first modern sonic game i have ever played and ooooh boy is it a good time to play this one.

    STORY: The story is very basic and very light hearted, but in a sonic game that's all we need to keep me entertained. I mean we don't want to go back to...you know...06. The plot goes like this: Sonic and friends are having a the birthday party (sonic's one), when    Sonic generations is the first modern sonic game i have ever played and ooooh boy is it a good time to play this one.

    STORY: The story is very basic and very light hearted, but in a sonic game that's all we need to keep me entertained. I mean we don't want to go back to...you know...06. The plot goes like this: Sonic and friends are having a the birthday party (sonic's one), when suddenly a gigantic-black-demonic looking-time traveling monster appears out of nowhere and crashes the party by kidnapping of his friends and leaving sonic unconscious. When he wakes up sonic founds himself in a spacious nostalgic white place where he eventually finds tails and his past classic (sonic 1-2-3 and cd) incarnation, as well as tails classic (sonic 2-3) encarnation. Their goal is to get all the chaos emeralds to defeat the gigantic-black-demonic looking-time traveling-monster.

    PRESENTATION: The game graphicly is pretty nice, the models, the textures and the lightning effects all still look very nice to this day and the colors, the voice acting and the incredible music make this presentation very solid...however there are some problems. First of all i'm playing the PS3 version so i don't know if any of this problems are also in the XBOX360 version (probably not), ok the game does have some framerate issues from time to time and some textures do seem a bit more bland than others, but that doesn't detract from the rest of the presentation.

    GAMEPLAY: Sonic generations combines 2 gameplay styles. Modern sonic (where you control sonic in a 3D space the majority of the time) and classic sonic (where you see sonic in a 2D space). Both gameplay styles work really well and they are incredibly fun to play. Classic sonic is the most basic of the since your moveset is a bit more limited, we can jump, roll, spindash and...that's pretty much it. Modern sonic is a bit more complex, but not by much, we can jump, boost to get loads of speed, homing attack and do the quickstep to go left or right really fast. Both gameplay modes have some really clever and fun level design and both of them are really fun.

    Sonic generations also has some challenges and boss fights to do and while i don't want to spoil why they are there, i will say this:...............**** the final boss.

    Sonic generations also brings some power ups that you can buy in a shop and trophies that you can unlock by putting the correct password + an online mode with a time trial mode and some really interesting and competitive stuff.

    In conclusion with good presentation, great gameplay, level design, music, modes and funny story, sonic generations is an example on how to do a great 3D sonic game and it deserves an 8/10.    … Expand

    It was fun but it was way too short. This game is probably a classic Sonic fanboys wet dream, because Classic Sonic is in the game. I think the Modern Sonic levels are more fun. The game only has 9 Modern Sonic levels, and 9 Classic Sonic levels. It's good, but I would rather have a Sonic 06 for the PS4 and Xbox One that fixes everything about Sonic 06.

    I was very satisfied with this game. Amazing music and nice fluid controls that have been somewhat lacking in the series as of late. The ONLY reason I won't rate this a 10 is the lack of DLC.

    O cenário do jogo quando olhado de perto horrível, porem quando você corre na velocidade do som, e vê como o cenário, as cores e a velocidade do Sonic se completam, esse se torna um dos jogos mais lindos que você vai ver, a recriação das fazes magnifica, impressionante como fazes simples se tornam em fazes gigantes e complexas
    Outro fator que um mérito incrível do jogo sua trilha sonora. simplesmente perfeita, durante algumas fazes, o ritmo da musica vai mudar dependendo da velocidade que o Sonic estiver, e a transição muito bem feita, e os Remixes são magníficos, a musica dos créditos fara você querer jogar o ultimo boss (que um dos pontos fracos do jogo) somente para ouvi-la!
    Porem nem tudo perfeito, Sonic Generations tem 18 fazes principais contando cada Sonic, e 7 chefes, o que faz com que você possa acabar com o jogo em 4 horas, porem o jogo tem uma sobrevida grande com os desbloqueáveis (Red Rings espalhados pelas fazes), e você tentara tirar Rank S (o que estupidamente fácil, comparado com Sonic Unleashed) em todas as fazes e chefes, e também existem 90 missões extras, e que são tão divertidas quanto as fazes comuns, algumas são tão boas que parecem ser projetos cancelados das fazes originais, mas seria preferível mais fazes diferentes do que missões bônus.
    Outro problema a dificuldade do jogo, se você aprendeu a dominar o Sonic, o jogo fica muito fácil, como o desafio de tirar Rank S praticamente não existe, o maior desafio quebrar o próprio record (dica: sempre pegue os caminhos mais altos, geralmente lá que você ira encontrar os melhores percursos e as Red Rings)
    E o Pior agravante o fato do jogo não ter um Multiplayer local, e as funções online são apenas para comparar tempos, se seus amigos não tiverem S.G. você vai ter que competir com os asiáticos, que geralmente terminam a faze com 40 segundos ou muito mais de diferença
    para quem não fan de Sonic, a nota para esse jogo poderia ser algo como 7, porem para um fan que cresceu jogando no seu Mega Drive (ou Dreamcast) o jogo não precisa ser rotulado com uma nota, pois a nostalgia e a esperança de ver que Sonic ainda pode voltar (ou pelo menos melhorar) a ser o que era, valem o jogo    … Expand

Graphics are beautiful, soundtrack is GODLIKE, and overall the game is just fun. Now there are a few flaws for example... Planet Wisp is an amazingly frustrating level. I spent 15 minutes JUST to get through it. And the rival battle against Metal Sonic seems to be extremely frustrating as well, as Sonic controls super sloppy, an it just doesn't feel like you're playing Sonic, it feels you're playing Mario on ice. Now boss and rival fights with Modern Sonic, they are super amazing. They have TONS OF SPEED, and that's what Sonic is about! That alone makes the boss fights awesome. Also levels in this game are from previous games, and the music is a remix of the older ones, which i love. There are challenge gates around for you, which you need to complete in order to actually fight the boss, so I'm guessing it was there to increase the game length. But they do have special unlocks like music and artwork. Speaking of that... You can unlock music from older games and use it in stages, man do i love listening to Palm Tree Panic xD This game is super fun, and is good for people who don't know about Sonic, as there is also character biographies you can unlock.

This game is Sonic Team's love letter to the fans.

    Both modern and classic Sonic control great, but I enjoyed the modern Sonic levels more. There's a real sense of speed, especially in the 3D sections. I feel they finally got the modern 3D game-play right in this game. Classic Sonic plays pretty much exactly like the Mega Drive quartet, and is still just as easy to pick up and play.

    It's not quite perfect. The main game is a bit short (it'll take Sonic veterans a day at most), and the final boss really lets the game down as it's quite buggy and lags. There are a lot of challenges though which gradually get more difficult and adds hours on to the game. Re-playing levels is also pretty fun. The story itself is quite simple, but it's nice to see the other characters make an appearance for a change. A lot of them haven't been seen for a while. There are also moments where the game pokes fun at itself. There are only 9 levels in total with six boss battles but there are a sheer number of other levels referenced with in the levels, which I thought was a really nice touch. One particular example that springs to mind is when playing Seside Hill as Classic Sonic, there are underwater sections that lift moments from Sonic 1's Labarynth Zone and Sonic 3's Hydrocity Zone. There are so many spectacular moments packed in to the nine levels and it's fun to guess what Sonic game they are from.

    Bottom line, this is a great game and a must buy if you've ever been a fan of the blue blur.    … Expand

    Sonic Generations is the second overhyped Sonic game in a row. There is also an entirely different game for the 3DS which I will get to later. This game on the 360, PS3, and PC is not too good.

The story is alright I guess. Sonic is celebrating his birthday and the other characters get kidnapped and Sonic travels through time to rescue them. Other than that, this game is mediocre at its best. If you want as good Sonic game, travel back to the last generation when Sonic was still relevant.… Expand

The game comes jam-packed with challenges levels courses and achievements to keep people blasting through its stages forever, as well as online play (not live unfortunately) and a massive soundtrack of pumping tunes which you can actually switch! Thats right! If you like a song you can play it whenever you want in the background of a level. The game has incredible graphics, unbeatable level design, a setting to turn OFF Omochao! Blast through this world at supersonic speed as you rush, jump, home and spin your way to the infamous time eater, an HD monster who was kidnapped famous Sonic landmarks for you to find and save, or access the trophy room by running into the east red room in the white space and holding down select. In this mode you can view trophies of famous sonic history. The game is the ultimate in fast, and contains incredible rivals and bosses such as perfect Chaos and the amazing silver.

    In conclusion, this is certainly the most incredible PS3 game in my collection, and I have played both LBP and LBP2! Insert the disc and feel the rush!    … Expand

    Classic Sonic has a 100% retro feel with beautifully updated HD graphics. Sonic has always had lots of alternate paths in the levels, but there was little motivation to find them all. The five hidden red rings are well placed and force you to discover all of the alternate routes. Modern Sonic I assumed I'd play once and lose interest, but he switches between 2D and 3D navigation and is equally as enjoyable as Classic. With the exception of some of the fast moving downward hills, (which really should have been 100% controlled with L&R triggers), he controls well.

    Getting 100% completion was fun and never felt unnecessary. The music (which has been pulled and re-worked from prior games) is as catchy as ever, but the track re-starting on every death really drives home the repetition. And please... in the future... omit music vocals. I no longer wanted to roll around at the speed of sound, with places to go to follow my rainbow after a couple of deaths.    … Expand

That doesn't quite cut it. Every stage is absolutely exceptional! They all feel very different from each other and each has it's own little unique hooks to dig into you. I've played all the stages in the game over and over and over. They never get old! The challenge gates, whilst seeming like tacky time fillers at first glance, actually turn out to be a great addition for those who want to get really deep into game. Usually, I'm not the guy who plays every nook and cranny of this type of game, but I just couldn't help myself with Sonic Generations. Getting all the red coins, achieving S rank on all stages and bosses, beating all the challenge gates... I was well and truly addicted. Basically speaking; I have nothing but love for this game!… Expand

    This game was great bit of nostalgia, but inevitably it was short. It had only included major console titles, none of the handheld ones. The best two levels were taken as almost direct ports from the two dreamcast titles. Great game for everyone, but try to get it for cheap. Sonic fans might have loved this, but we were really looking for Sonic Adventure 3.

The story is kinda lackluster and it's lacking the entertaining dialogue that was found in Sonic Colours but overall i'd describe it as a step in the right direction for Sega. The game is still haunted by a few bugs and glitches that can frustrate at times but overall the game plays a lot smoother than previous entries, Sonic Team seem to be finding a better balance between speed and platforming sections comparing to previous titles such as Colours which was a lot of platforming and not much speed and Unleashed (day missions) which were pretty much all speed and not much platforming. I find it fun for a quick burst of gaming such as trying to beat my previous time on ranking attack before I have to leave for work in 20 minutes for example so it has pretty good replay value. The soundtrack sounds fantastic and a large amount of tracks can be unlocked in the main story such as Hydrocity Zone. They serve not only as a simple music hall of fame but you can also change the music of the levels in story mode to any track that you have unlocked via the side missions. Sega are playing it safe with this game but since it was made to celebrate 20 years of Sonic you can forgive them for that. Overall though the game plays better than previous modern Sonic games. If Sega can build upon this for their next title then the blue hedgehog might return to his former glory.    … Expand

    Sonic Generations is an enjoyable experience if paying in small bursts, bringing back some of the nostalgic feel that made the original such a success. 9 levels split between 2D/3D, I was more or less only interested in the appeal of 2D.

As your screaming down the loop aiming for that speed ramp, before you know it your cascading downwards, towards your death like a vertigo loving blur.

However the former is no problem, the controls are very responsive (maybe people blaming the game for their mistakes?) and the latter is, in my opinion, the best portion of the game. The graphics look lovely with memorable scenery from past sonic games and the soundtrack is top notch. The remixes of older songs are all composed spectacularly and the game also gives you the option to unlock old songs (his world, I am... etc.). The boss fights are brilliant throwbacks to the greatest bosses in sonic history, and Sonic generations only improves these boss fights! The classic gameplay is highly reminiscent of the good old days of the old sonic games and the modern gameplay is an exhilarating rush to get through the zone in time while trying to find all of the hidden red rings. The games only shortcoming is the length of the main story, which is nullified by all of the 90 challenges available to play which are surprisingly fun.
    To be professional I would of given this game a 9.5 but the scoring system doesn't allow that. This is a really well made game, if you are a sonic fan it is a MUST BUY    … Expand

    Perhaps one of the best things we can say about Sonic Generations is that it feels complete, and that it looks absolutely stunning. 20 years offers a lot of time to draw inspiration from, and Team Sonic's determination to show off everything that Sonic has accomplished is to be applauded. As an homage it's without peer. As a game in its own right it's flawed, but it'll leave you with more smiles than frowns. [Dec 2011, p70]

    Sonic Generations marks the 20th birthday of Segas beloved mascot, and it also shows us why he deserves to be celebrated. Even though the 3D platforming part of the game carries with it most of the problems from other later installments in the franchise, the 2D levels stand up as one of the best Sonic experiences in many years. It's a two sided experience, but definitely worth a closer look.
