    Sonic Colors feels like a step right back into the same crap this series has drowned in for the past decade. If I had to pick a color for this game, it would be brown, for very obvious reasons.

The game uses the camera smartly, and transitions from 2D mode to 3D are actually VERY creative (like in one part, sonic will do a 270 degree turn around a fountain to shift from 2D to 3D), which if you remember Sonic Heroes, yeah, you won't have those issues here. The Wisps are used well, they don't seem underused or overused to me. Why? Because Sonic is supposed to be a fast blue blur for most of the action, not using some weird gimmick 75% of the time.

Horrible story, horrible characterization of main characters, 85% of game is 2D. Stages look un-natural because most of the game is just floating platforms. Game is probably around a 5, but just for the simple fact that it has a higher score than Sonic Generations and the masterpiece that is Sonic Unleashed, I’m giving it a 0. Still better than Forces tho. Forces gets a -10.… Full Review »
