So, I bought the game at midnight today, and I returned him to play it.

I just thought I'd review a few more modern games, and I will only review games I beat.

Graphics - 8

The graphics aren't amazing, especially by PS3 standards, in fact, one could say minus one or two instances, it looks like a PS2 game. However, one cannot judge the game's appearance as poor, as it effectively shows us the cross between Modern and Retro Sonic games. It was done so well, I decided to rate it high.

Sound - 10

I may be a little biased, but I absolutely LOVE the soundtrack they got for this game. From top to bottom it looks amazing. You can download the OST here. There's more music than is shown on list though, as several remixes and classic songs from other games adorn the list. Also, the sound effects are perfect for Sonic.

Addictiveness - 7

This one can vary. The first 6 hours I played, I was trying to do every mission and take my time, but I got bored after a while. At times it's very addicting and you won't want to stop. However, there are times you will probably just ask when the game is over. It's generally got a good balance though.

Depth - 9

There's actually quite a lot to do. On top of the story, and side missions, you also have a nice online scoreboard for every track in the game. It's more fun to try and beat your own scores than to beat the story mode. There's also a Sega Genesis Controller you can buy from the store in game, (for 7777 SEGA points, which you should have by the first boss easily) which allows you to play the unedited version of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Story - 8

This one is purely based on Nostalgia and not on the actual story. Let me explain. The game takes you to various eras of Sonic History. One level from each game, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic 06, Sonic Unleashed, and Sonic Colors. The revisiting was nostalgic, being the Sonic fan I am. If you are not a Sonic Fan, this will not make as much sense to you, and you will probably see the story as lacking. In truth, the story is the game. Few cutscenes are needed to express what's happening.

Difficulty - 3

The game from start to finish was rather easy. Unless I missed something that makes the game harder, it is a far cry from classic games which I feel were harder. In any case, this game was fun, even if it was easy. Only one part gave me any trouble, and that's because I overcomplicated it and did the part late with no sleep.

Overall - 8

The game is solid. It's perfect for Sonic fans, but everyone else will want to stay away till the price goes down. For a 20th anniversary game, I say this hits the mark. 20 years later, and Sonic is still just as cool as ever.

"So, I bought the game at midnight today, and I returned him to play it."

Is that supposed to say that you returned home, or am I missing something? I guess it doesn't have much to do with your review, but it confused me.

And did you forget to link the soundtrack?

soxfan849 :

nonono.

I resubmitted this. I just copy pasted my old review, so the new VGR starts to fill up. Plus this was the only way to get the scores to show on the page. tRIUNE gave me the ok.

I did this review back around the time it came out. Midnight release.

And I still have the link

You got Sonic Generations?! Jelly :0

I've been meaning to play this game for a while. I played it for an hour (Demo)

But got bored of playing one level over and over XD

I assumed the rest of the game was just as good judging by your review.

The only thing I don't like is the new voice actor "Roger Craig".

I'd rather have "Jason Griffith" back.

I really like this game despite that I had a hard time with some of the levels. It's really a great game for Sonic fans to enjoy.

legacyme3 : "...and I returned him to play it." I bet you meant home lol. I love Generations, can't wait to replay it!

Sonic Generations is one of those games that is a nice refresher of what Sonic use to be. Its ability to switch from Classic Sonic to Regular Sonic or whatever the current Gen Sonic is called is pretty nice. Good game.

I got sonic generations on my 3ds. I thought with the technology of the 3ds it'll look a little similar to the xbox and ps3 versions. Instead it was just side scroll.

Excellent review.  Sonic generations was a good game.  I was impressed with the games quality.  It is a great way to reintroduce the old gaming style integrated with the new gaming style.

Sonic is a great game to play (even though I only play it once). The game is so fun to play, and I like the controls, and the graphics look amazing to.Excellent review on a very great game.

Amazing review from you, leggy.

All I want to have is a WII release so I can finally play it on the wii rather than playing it on a freaking Xbox 360. I don't have a 3DS, nor a PS3, but my brothers have Xbox 360s, but I WANT A WII RELEASE, SEGA! Sega will regret not releasing this on the Wii, I want to play this on my wii. It had been a year and still no wii release. Sega just turned from awesome sauce to horrible crap because of not releasing it on the wii. What the he'll was with Sega not releasing the game on wii!?

Anyways, I did love the game regardless of not playing it due to not having a release on the Wii.

This an amazing review from you. i didn't think you had it in you. lol jk
I beat this game when i was a little boy, but i forgot to do a review on it when i started vizzed.

legacyme3 : I am a really huge fan on all the Sonic games. I remember playing it as a kid. I play any and almost every Sonic game whenever I get the chance. And now on my opinion of your review. So well put together. I think you should do more reviews. I know you're not a Global moderator but you are very good at expressing the game and what you liked about it. I really wish I could make reviews like this. I guess practice makes perfect. Thank you for making this review. I really enjoyed reading it.
