Welcome back to Sonic Month 2 ladies and gentlemen. Today we'll be looking at the game I believe pulled Sonic completely out of the "dark age". From the moment you hear the opening song and see that opening cinematic, you know you're in for a treat. A little bit of history on my part is that this is the game that brought me back into the Sonic franchise after my "Sonic hiatus" from around '06-'10. I remember seeing this on the cover of an issue of Nintendo Power and needless to say, it was an instant buy after getting my Christmas money and man did I love this game. Now, let me actually review the game. This is my review of Sonic Colors.

Graphics
     The graphics are simply amazing! I could barely bring myself to believe this wasn't in HD the whole time I was playing it. I think it really shows off what the Wii is truly capable of. I've noticed that Sega has a knack for being able to stretch the limits of the console and make it look gorgeous. Heck, I'd say this game looks about as good as Sonic Unleashed on the 360. The animations in both cutscene and gameplay are really smooth and cool to look at. The backgrounds are better than ever and the enemies are very distinguishable. This game is just extremely cool to look at and I can't get enough of this.

Sound
     The music...oh the music...it's just...AWESOME! There's not a single track that I find bad. Pretty much everything from the game's theme called Reach for the Stars, to the final boss theme and the credits are simply amazing. While I found Speak With Your Heart, the first credits theme, to be annoying at first, the song grew on me and has kind of stuck. I still don't like auto tune, but considering they were going with a techno feel for the vocal tracks, I'll let it slide. I honestly can't decide on a favorite stage theme. I love all the stage themes and I constantly get them stuck in my head. Overall, a great soundtrack that I think deserves a listen.

Addictiveness
     I find myself going back to this game every once in a while just to mess around a little bit. I think the level designs are pretty good and I'm still trying to find all the red rings. There are quite a few secrets in the game and I think you should play the game yourself to find out what they are. I think Generations pulls me back a lot more often, I do find myself replaying this game for fun every once in a while.

Story
     The story has some of the best writing in any Sonic game to this point. Dr. Eggman has decided to build an amusement park using random planets he has connected to his main base. He claims that the park is meant to say that he is no longer committing evil against Earth. Sonic, being quite suspicious of Eggman, decides to check out the park and stop whatever plan Eggman has. It's a bit of a simple plot, but I think this works extremely well. There's quite a bit of comedy thrown in and I do find quite a bit of it to be pretty funny. While some of the jokes are cringe-worthy, they can be funny and I appreciate this game going for a much lighter and simpler tone than the previous 3D games.

Depth
     This game has a bit to offer including 6 Acts per Zone, a Game Land which on occasion recreates Sonic 1 levels in the Sonic Colors gameplay style, which I find pretty neat. There are 5 red rings scattered across each act, making 180 red rings total, gathering all of them will grant you...you know what? Just play the game yourself, it's too good to spoil here. While it has less to offer than Unleashed, I still think it comes pretty close and has the right amount of depth.

Gameplay/Controls
     Sonic's Unleashed abilities are back, however some are far more useful here than in Unleashed. The homing attack is still present and you can slide under certain obstacles. Sonic is also sporting a double jump. It's not much, but it is enough to help with certain platforming sections when used correctly. The new powers however stem mostly from the Wisps, which again, I'd like you to play the game and experiment with them yourself because they are extremely fun to use. You can use the Wisps to make some levels a joke and also to find secrets and hidden goodies. I also think that this is some of Sonic's best controls in 3D Sonic history.

Overall, I find Sonic Colors to be an experience that every Sonic fan should play at least once. It's fun and certainly brings Sonic back from the darkness. With great music, graphics, and controls, I give Sonic Colors a 9 out of 10. Join me next time for our grand finale with Sonic Generations. Until then, Peace Out!
