    It's really hard for me to choose between 9 and 10 for Sonic Colors. It's my favorite Sonic game, the level design is great, the soundtrack is great, the length and difficulty make it a great first game for those who haven't played Sonic before and it was a critical success in a time where Sonic was batting low. The control throws me off, though. It can be stiff sometimes.

    Very underrated in the sonic series. A great blend of 2D and 3D game-play, but it is a little excessive on 2D, which can seem boring or repetitive at times. However it does have good level design, ranging from platforming puzzles to straights where you can go speeding ahead. Not a game i'd play everyday but fun once in a while. the sound track, however, is great. not too many standoutVery underrated in the sonic series.

Asteroid coaster (act 3), sweet mountain (act 2) and aquarium park (act 1) to name a few. overall the game is very underrated in my opinion, the game's not perfect by any means, but definitely far from mediocre.

    At first glance, this seems like a great Sonic game. Unique level themes, polish, and a story that isn't half bad, this game would've been much higher than a 5/10, but the level design ruins it. The first 3 acts or so of each level is usually OKAY, but all the other acts have absolutely horrible level design. Most of this game is slow, 2.5D platforming.

It is NOT "Unleashed but without the werehog." The little amount of 3D sections are usually pretty bland too, as you'll be running in a straight line most of the time or in automated sections. Many 2D sections have you waiting for platforms and going extremely slow, not something I want in a Sonic the Hedgehog game. I feel like this game was very overrated at the time due to fans being desperate for a good game after Unleashed having the werehog, '06, etc. The best thing about this game is the polish in terms of graphics and level themes, and the music of course. 5/10, I would try it out, but you'll most likely be asking, "when's the next 3D section?" every level you play.… Expand

    really bland and generic
    the wisps are so bad they add nothing to the game besides the drill wisp (maybe)
    like rocket just shoots you straight up and nothing more. after this game they kept apearing. sega please make it stop. there are 6 acts in a world and there just padding the main acts are ok altho this game is 90% 2d the 2d sections are nothing unique or somthing but the 3d    really bland and generic

    the 3d sections are bland empty halways. somthimes you need to drift or like 5 seconds in a empte area and thats the only 3d section in that level like whyyy...
    i will be very upset if this game wil get the rumoured remaster
    like this game doesn't desever it in my opninion like what about sonic unleashed or adventure or generations. heck maybe remake 06 remove all the glitches and polish it idk that would be way more intresting than this garbage    … Expand

    Colors is truly are colorful game. With different mechanics of power ups to use. Having the boost formula and together with it's unique gameplay. But what's Abit down grading it's the lack of 3d sections. But overall it's a solid game with funny storyline.

    I gotta admit that Colours was needed in 2010 but looking back at it just shows that theres horrible writing,75 percent 2D, Wisps are meh and are basically just Discount Sonic Abilities,6 Acts even though 3 should be enough and the main theme is cringy ngl

    2 Jahre vor diesem Spiel erschien Sonic Unleashed. Ein Spiel, welches im Grunde die Selbe Formel benutzt: die Boost Formel. Jedoch ist in Sonic Colors eins anders. Es fehlt der Werehog... und auch sehr viel anderes. Dieses Spiel leidet unter schlechtem Level Design, fehlenden Features, nervigen Wisps, grauenhafter Story und sehr vielem filler content.

Es fehlt der Werehog... und auch sehr viel anderes. Dieses Spiel leidet unter schlechtem Level Design, fehlenden Features, nervigen Wisps, grauenhafter Story und sehr vielem filler content. Und trotz diesem filler content ist das Spiel immer noch 2-3 Stunden lang, was echt traurig ist. Es hätte so viel mehr sein können, aber vergleicht man die Level in dem Spiel mit den Sonic Leveln aus Unleashed und berücksichtigt dann noch, dass Unleashed noch DAZU einen Werehog, eine fantastische Story und viel mehr hatte, dann fällt einem auf, dass Colors echt nicht mehr als okay ist. Es spielt und steuert sich gut und man kann es an einem Abend easy mal durchspielen. Die 100% machen tatsächlich auch ziemlich viel Spaß. Mehr positives kann ich leider nicht sagen.… Expand

    Hate this game. The only reason I'm giving it a 5 is because it has the same play style as Day Time Sonic Unleashed

    I have nothing to say other than the fact that the soundtrack is insane!! Is the reason why I love this game along with its amazing levels and arts. It has been part of my childhood since I have played this on the Wii years ago, and yes it isn't the best sonic game. But it has such an EPIC soundtrack! "Reach for the Stars" for example, is one of my favorite sonic soundtracks ever! ThankI have nothing to say other than the fact that the soundtrack is insane!!

    If you have enjoyed previous Sonic games but were hesitant to pick this one up because of the most recent Sonic outings, worry no more. Sonic Colors is worth the price of admission.

    Fast side-scrolling Sonic successfully combines the "classic" platformer with 3D action. Colorful environments and nice level design make new Sonic really catchy. [Issue#199]

    Sonic Colors is hands-down the best Sonic title to be released in nearly a decade, and definitely one of the best titles to hit the Wii in the past year.
