    The best Sonic game in the series!
    Sonic Colors is an amazing experience with well implemented wisps and amazing level design, the graphics are candy to the eyes and the story and voice acting is good and the music is amazing.
    10/10
    No bugs and glitches at all, if anyone says there's bugs and glitches than he's lying to make Sonic looks bad, DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For someone who never really got a chance to try Sonic Colors back when I owned a wii, I finally got to play Sonic Colors Ultimate on a modern console. Here's my review:
    Pros:
    - For a story that began the writing of the "meta era" this is so much better than the games we get later on.
    - The graphics in my opinion look very good. It makes Sonic Colors feel more beautiful than the original (from gameplay footage I've seen from the wii)
    - The new homing attack system feels so satisfying. It shows you some skill of how to time your attacks perfectly against enemies which I find very fresh.
    - The wisps were a great addition to Sonic. Even tho I think they have been over used too much later on the series, this was a pretty neat addition.
    - The new Rival Rush is my favorite, it gets pretty challenging especially in Sweet Mountain which got me sweating for awhile.
    - The cosmetics are very cool. I hope they continue to do this for now on. It adds plenty of replayability to the game.

    Cons-
    - As much as I like the story, the dialogue in this game is not even funny. A character stays on the joke too and them explains about the joke which I don't find it amusing. It should have taken some notes from Sonic Unleashed.
    - The bugs in this game are everywhere. Hopefully these glitches will be patched later on.
    - This game relies on the 2D sections a bit too much which makes it boring.
    - The brightness in this game is just too damn bright that I might watch the sun rather than this game.

    Therefore, Sonic Colors Ultimate is an okay game.    … Expand

    Sonic Colors: Ultimate brings together all the elements expected of a great game from SEGA's biggest mascot, with high-speed levels, good incentives for speedrunners, several collectibles to collect, a cast of very charismatic characters and an inspired soundtrack. If you're a Sonic fan and didn't know this game, it's a highly recommended purchase.

    Sonic Colors is probably one of the best 3d sonic games. The original game is very fun to play, and this is very fun too. The game has a very good selection of places, like: the bright starlight carnival and the amazing planet wisp. The story is very simple, but that's good. I really enjoyed the game, but I had few problems with bugs. But apart from that, the game is very good and fun to play.

    The game enhances the original in a lot of ways! I only wished they had remastered the cutscenes as well. I played through the game on the PlayStation 4, and I personally did not encounter a single glitch. Maybe I just got a lucky copy? All I know is that I had an overall excellent experience with the game! I definitely recommend getting it on the PS4!

The only negative thing I encountered are VERY LONG loading screens for levels and menus. Fortunately, they slightly fixed them with some patches    For being a remaster, Colours Ultimate is a weird one but I did manage to have a blast playing it!

    The customizations are very nice! You can change the boost aura, shoes, and gloves and make ur own Sonic! I made mine look like himself in the movie and it's cool!
    In conclusion, Sonic Colours Ultimate is... well, it's Sonic Colours! If the base game is still a good game, the remaster is instantly good.
    But is it better than the original? No.
    Is it worse? No.
    It's AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL.
    It did some things right and some not so much.

    I would recommend it to every Sonic fan who wants to try Colours but can't afford a Wii.
    Nostalgic fans should stick to the original, but the remaster is good enough, IMO.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Due to never owning a Wii I never had the chance to play *Sonic Colours* when it was originally released so when this re-release was announced I was pretty excited. Now, after 20+ hours with the game I can confirm it is certainly one of Sonic's best 3D outings.

    The game provides really solid, enjoyable and entertaining *Sonic* platforming action. It feels a lot closer to the classis *Sonic* games in that unlike *Unleashed* or *Forces* the game doesn't depend on you speed booting through the whole thing but rather sections of speed are rewards for doing well. There were no instances of flying off the screen in crazy directions and bottomless pits were at a minimum. Controls felt responsive and lacked the slipperiness of some 3D *Sonic* games.

    I had played *Sonic Colours* and *Lost World* on the DS and found that *Lost World* in particular forced you to use Wisp powers to the point where it felt is was just a Wisp-athon rather than actually playing as Sonic. Here I did not feel that was the case at all, and all levels can be completed without even using the Wisps at all. The great thing is that the majority of the Wisp powers are fun to use and don't overstay their welcome.

    The game looks absolutely amazing, not just because of the new coat of paint, but also due to the design of the levels themselves and the individual enemies. Egg Pawns wear little costumes to match the theme of a level (seeing them decked out in chefs hats in Sweet Mountain always made me chuckle) and there is heaps going on in the background. It really does make *Sonic Forces* all-the-same white Egg Pawn and somewhat bland levels look even worse. Some levels, such as Starlight Carnival, literally made me stop and just admire at how much was going on. It's brilliant!

    As with many games that unlock items/ powers as you play, *Colours* really opens up once the game is completed and you have access to all Wisps throughout all the levels. There are paths you can't get to without using the Wisps and of course various collectables for which Wisp powers are required to collect. After I'd completed the main game I went back through to collect all the Red Rings and this I really enjoyed. I love fast, quick platforming that this kind of thing presents you with and while it's not quite as polished as, say, *Rayman Legends*, it's still a lot of fun.

    While the main gameplay you'll be spending 90% of your time doing is good fun, unfortunately the boss fights are a very mixed bag. The chase-based fights, especially the final boss, are fun, but the more traditional 2D boss fights are just boring and rather easy. It's a shame as everything else around them is great.

    As for the content the *Ultimate* release adds, it is again something of a mixed bag. The Jade Wisp, which was not in the original game and gives you the Jade Ghost ability, is kind of cool but only really needed for collecting Red Rings and Tails icons. The collectables Park Tokens are only used to unlock customisation items to change Sonic's appearance. These are all purely cosmetic and don't change the gameplay or Sonic's abilities at all, but are fun to play around with if you like that kind of thing.

    Speaking of the Tails Icons, the switch from having lives to having Tails save you if you fall off the screen really didn't make much difference. Yes, you don't have to start back at the beginning of a level if you die, but I fail to see that as a bad thing. Kind of funny when you think of all the carry on some fans had when Sega initially wanted to remove 100 Rings = 1up in *Lost World*.

    Sadly, having Super Sonic in the game really doesn't add anything. In fact, it makes it *less* fun to play through the levels as you can't use any of the Wisp powers. He feels more like a handicap here. To add to this the Sonic Simulator minigame, which you need to complete to unlock the Chaos Emeralds and thus Super Sonic, are all very dull and boring.

    *Sonic Colours: Ultimate* is easily the best 3D *Sonic* release since *Generations*. However, there probably isn't much here to recommend to those who have already played the game and don't feel the need to revisit. But if you *do* want to be able to experience Eggman's Interstellar Amusement Park outside of the Wii, or like me you were not able to play *Colours* originally due to it's Nintendo exclusivity, *Sonic Colours: Ultimate* is well worth your time!    … Expand

The most important thing about a game is gameplay and in all honesty, this game plays just like the original so gameplay is good. Although the game released with glitches, SEGA and Blind Squirrel have been patching them and so far have patched most of the big problems that some people had. Overall This game is good.

    A disappointing, lazy remaster of a very good platformer. The developers took the path of least resistance by stretching textures and trying to conceal their blurriness with aggressive lighting, which made things worse. The only advantages I see here are the quality of the original game and the fact that the Ultimate edition brought it to new platforms. [12/2021, p.59]

    As a remake, Sonic Colors: Ultimate does not pay much attention to many of the details, there is not much difference from the original except for a better graphics. However, based on the excellent quality of the original game, Sonic Colors: Ultimate is still a work that allows players to fully appreciate the charm of the Sonic series.

    Overall, Sonic Colors Ultimate is a must-buy for anyone who loved the original release – or who missed it and always wanted to try it out. On the PS4 and PS5, it plays wonderfully and our time netted zero issues either visually or with crashes. Some have reported issues on the Switch version and it seems like it would be best to wait for that one to get fixed-up before buying. However, if you’re playing on PlayStation and Xbox hardware, you’re in great shape to enjoy one of Sonic’s finest adventures ever and his best 3D outing in history.
