    most of the levels in this game are really fun and offer multiply path ways making the game very replayable. the game also has incredible graphics and music. the only things i don't like about this game are the shallow plot and the annoying final level.

    Sonic Generations is the best Sonic Game since Sonic 2!
    I admit i was kind of slipping from being a sonic fan after Sonic 06 but this game brought me back and its probably one of my favourite games of all time.

    The Story is something i can really appreciate as a Sonic fan since they are finally making jokes about themselves and it is hilarious, every line of dialogue is sure to make you atleast giggle!

    The Gameplay is everything we ever wanted from a perfect Sonic Game and thats Incredible speed,Momentum based Platforming and any other awesome additions certainly help the game stay fresh and new.

    and finally the Graphics are Breathtaking, you have to see them to believe them. (Especially if you got a 3D TV)

    In Conclusion Sonic Generations is one of the best games all year and it is definitely worth every penny of its purchase price! (oh and Rival Battles are EPIC)    … Expand

In my opinion, Sonic Generations is the very best Sonic game to date and probably my favorite platform game of all time. The reason for this is that the action stages are designed perfectly... No... 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

    Played it at my buddy's place today. We are both huge sonic fans and we have been very disappointed by the recent titles, save for maybe sonic colors, which was a step in the right direction. This is a wonderful game that any loyal sonic fan should pick up sometime. 10/10

As cliche as it seems, I was borderline rabid in my fandom until about 2004, when the game-play began to lose my interest. It was not until Sonic Colors that I regained my support for the blue blur; I saw the birth of a new formula in game-play that was innovative and more than a step in the right direction with a great balance of speed and platforming. Enter Sonic Generations: the rebirth of my adamant love for the series. From the demo onward, I saw a video game that had (and at this point has) the potential to become one of the best platformers in this era of gaming. Upon playing this game, I found that my optimistic notions were wonderfully well-founded for a multitude of reasons.

    Of all of my reasons for appreciating Sega's effort in making this game, the execution of both Sonics' play styles takes the forefront. Classic Sonic truly played in a way that accurately, and enhances to a degree, per the Genesis iterations (1,2,3&K). When I say that it enhanced his game-play, I am referring to the upgraded spin dash (which is far from overpowered -- see Planet Wisp for details), which adds a whole new level of complexity to the timing required for speedy completion of the game's many platforming elements. Also, he pays more than enough homage to the Genesis era via the intricacies of his physics. When playing in Chemical Plant Zone, I tried to replicate one of the key speed-run tactics -- jumping at the very end of its curved slopes. Performing this action in Sonic 2 allowed the player to run faster upon completing the jump. To my surprise, I managed to pull the act off exactly in the manner that I had done in Sonic 2. His noteworthy zones are Crisis City, Planet Wisp, and City Escape.

    Moving on to modern Sonic, the game-play was just as phenomenal, if not slightly better. The platforming elements are absolutely marvelous in his levels, and the utilization of his abilities is at its zenith thus far in the latter iterations of the series. Specifically, the boost is implemented incredibly well. While many reviewers have stated that it adds to the game's supposed clunky moments, they seem to have failed to grasp that moderation is a key component to mastering the boost. It may be very tempting to "boost to win," but that mind-set will come to a halt upon reaching Sky Sanctuary. Along with his other abilities, it works hand in hand to create a repertoire that a player must fully master to succeed.

    On the topic of storyline, it is far less deep than previous modern releases', but the game is better for that factor. It is short, sweet, and a great tribute to the highs and lows of his twenty years. The only issue I have with this game is actually the boss battles. I will not spoil their contents, but they do leave me hoping for further boss content via dlc.

    I highly reccommend this game to anyone wishing to experience the platforming genre at its finest, or to anyone wishing to experience one of its finer examples.    … Expand

Don't get me wrong Sonic Colors and Sonic 4 are great games, but Generations exceed even those games. I had a new perspective for modern sonic in classic levels and classic sonic in modern levels. City Escape was a very interesting perspective for classic Sonic (just one example). The music was stunning! The background (which Sega was famous for with Genesis) was very beautiful and put me in awe. It was so captivating that I sometimes crashed or got hurt because I should be playing lol.

    Story 9/10: Story is as good as it needs to be. I loved the mysterious dark creature! It was a new twist never done before by sonic and made it connect the old and the new Sonics. It didn't need complex stories. People hated that in the other sonic games. The story in my opinion was enough. It did its job, which is kept me motivated to play the next level to find out more about the story, and the result. Graphics 9.5/10: For a Sonic Game this is the best graphics I have ever seen. If I were to look at it subjectively it would be a perfect 10, but objectively it isn't the best visuals in gaming history.

    Sound 10/10: Although the jump sound is from Sonic CD and not from genesis for classic sonic; I can forgive the game. I don't complain about small bugs like that because I don't bash a game for a small detail like that. The sounds were great and nostalgic for classic, and for modern the sounds were pretty good too.

    Music 11/10: I loved the very nostalgic music they have, plus their remixed counter parts. I loved the rock song "Escape from the City" and I loved its techno/trance/Daft Punky version of it. It actually sounds like they combined some essences form the 2p Sonic 3 Cave level with it as well. It had a new yet nostalgic and pleasantness to it.

    Game play (Classic) 9.9/10: The game has excellent controls but the reason I took 0.1 out is because the jump seems to be a lot less than it should be for a 2D sonic game. Otherwise, it was complete perfect in every sense of awesomeness that is Retro Sonic. Game play (modern) 9/10: It seems to be an improved version of Sonic Colors, which seems to be an improved version of Sonic Unleash's Day Time levels. It's great, but it still has bugs to fix and it needs to improve the physics just a little more. I though Sonic Adventure had the best gravity and control. If it had those Sonic Adventure movement controls but with the modern day game play button controls it would be perfect.

    Overall Score: 10/10 Awesomeness at its best. I just hope that the sonic fans don't mess up its ratings like they did Sonic 4. Sonic 4 was a great game that should have been a 9/10 NOT A FREAKING 7/10!    … Expand

    This has to be one of the greatest Sonic games! Years after years ever since Heroes Sonic has felt downhill, then came Sonic Colors and other good Sonic games, they were good signs. SEGA has now confirmed Sonic is back with this game, not just saying "Classic Sonic11!11!1" or whatever, but both Sonics are great! The only problem is that the game is a bit short.

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.
