    Really great, gets kinda repetitive after awhile, but still good. Love all the references and call backs to old sonic games and the classic sonic mechanic is cool!

    I didn't like this one.

    The humor for the most part is just the characters constantly saying "CUTE" and of course the Help Wanted reference was such a REMEMBER THIS SQUIDWARD moment. All you have to do is focus more on the animals. Make it entertaining and bam! A good episode.

    Coisa linda de jogo, simplesmente uma carta de amor a todos os fãs, a unica coisa ruim é não ter tido mais personagens jogaveis e mais fases, de resto, está divino, merecia um relançamento

    Грати стало краще адже гру оптимізували під Xbox Series, а це 60 к/сек. та збільшена роздільна здатність гри!
    Чудова гра про Соніка!
    Переосмислення рівнів з попередніх частин ігор про синього їжака в новій графіці під класичний 2D стиль та сучасний буст стиль!

    Generations is one of the greatest sonic games of all time,if not the greatest,it isn't too hard or buggy,it is very short and lacks of story but it is a nice trip down the memory lane for the OG sonic fans

    An amazing game that is held back by a nothing story. An incredible tribute to Sonic's past history without it leaning towards Nostalgia Pandering that the series has back-slided on for the past few years.

    Great sonic overall, i did hate the history and a lot of characters that didn't need to be there, the classic Sega Genesis sonic is also played on 4:3 for no apparent reason, the final boss is just boring, but all the rest of the game is incredible, just a great sonic with both of the styles built on the franchise in well done stages.

    It's crazy how much Colors fans will hate this game and Sonic Unleashed on Twitter and even pretend Forces is much worse just to make their mediocre game look better, but we Generations and Unleashed fans will not allow this revisionist history to prevail

    You literally can't go wrong with this game, it's sooooooooo goood. The level design is perfect, though I do wish the levels were longer. There are a few levels that can be difficult at times, like Crisis city act 1, but the majority of the levels are easy, but it doesn't matter because it's so fun.

The bosses and rival bosses in this game are the best in the series (well, not anymore bc Frontiers has taken the trophy of best bosses) This game also confirms that Sonic 2006 did happen, it's just, it happened in an alternate timeline. The only critique I can really give is this game should have been longer. There should have been a level from sonic cd (like palm tree panic_), sonic rush, sonic and the secret rings and sonic and the black knight. I also think they should have given us a classic zone from the first half of sonic 3, like Hydrocity or icecap zone. Classic Sonic was awesome. Modern Sonic is awesome. There isn't a single bad level in this game at all. It's a shame that, for the next decade after, the series was gonna plummet severely. But hay, that doesn't matter anymore because Sonic frontiers brought sonic back to life. This is really a love letter to the franchise.… Expand

    Este es uno de los mejores juegos de toda la franquicia del erizo azul, es el juego de la formula boost mas pulido y a pesar de que la historia sea inexistente, el gameplay es demasiado entretenido y los desafíos le dan buena rejugabilidad e hicieron una buena elección para los niveles de este juego, aunque es una lastima que este juego sea muy corto

    A good, short and sweet Sonic game that improves everything from colors and unleashed (except for story and identity). The level design is fast and fluid for both sonics (mostly for modern), the music is some of the best remixes in the series and seeing my favorite stages in HD brings a tear to my eye.

The downsides of this adventure is that this game is short, the story is not good, and Planet Wisp. I just wish that there were more levels added to the game so this could've been the best this game could've been. Also the story is worst than sonic colors in my opinion and I hate planet Wisp in this game. Also this game is very easy. But other than that, if you like the boost of unleashed and colors, and want a shot of nostalgia in a polished package, then Generations is for you.… Expand

    After many disappointing games, Sonic Generations was a comeback for the series that celebrated how far the series has truly gone. Very few platform game series survive for 2 decades.

    Now that’s a Sonic game! Fast, fun, maybe not great at around the end and a little easy, but overall an insanely fun game that cuts the bs of a game like Unleashed.

    Sorry, but the boost formula will never capture the same spirit as the Adventure games for me. I definitely see the appeal and it's fun in its own way, but it doesn't evoke the same feelings.

    Sonic Generations lets you play as two different Sonics, one from the present and one from the past. The first levels are fantastic, but the level design soon gets dull. The time trials and the music is good though.

    It's somewhat short and the boss battles are truly awful, but otherwise Sonic Generations is a solid platformer. Revisiting old levels is nostalgic and having two Sonics to control is a nice touch. [Dec 2011]
