5.0 out of 5 stars Stands out from the console versions! December 20, 2011
Platform for Display:Nintendo 3DS
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Is it better than the console versions? No.
Is it shorter? Yes. (By 2 zones)
Do these questions matter? Nope.

You know why we were all hyped for this game? Because it is a flashback of nearly the blue blur's whole history, with familiar environments that cast all new levels! To top it all off, you finally get to play as Sonic's original design again, as well as compete with other players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

This version stands out from the Xbox/PS3 game due to its different worlds (With the exception of Green Hill Zone) and said online play. Players get to romp through the greatness that is Green Hill (Sonic 1), Casino Night (Sonic 2), Mushroom Hill (Sonic and Knuckles), Emerald Coast (Sonic Adventure), Radical Highway (Adventure 2), Water Palace (Sonic Rush), and Tropical Resort (Sonic Colors).

Classic Sonic plays nearly exactly like in the original Sega Genesis games! While the Genesis-era levels for him are duplicates of the originals (Without the miniboss for Mushroom Hill, though), the rest of the levels (Dreamcast-era and so on) are all-new, yet they fit with the classic platform-orientated gameplay amazingly! Eventually, Classic Sonic gets the Homing Attack, which locks onto enemies for Sonic to hit. People may not like this addition, since people recognized it from the Adventure games, which were way after the Genesis games (Although it was first in Sonic 3D Blast as you could use it when receiving the Golden Shield). The console versions of Sonic Generations also had this attack (As an optional feature), but players could enable or disable it. Personally, I think it adds to the gameplay nicely, but in case if you just don't want to use it, I suggest you just try not to press B twice in a row.

Modern Sonic, on the other hand, is more focused on speed. Like in the Sonic Rush series and Sonic Colors for DS, Modern Sonic is equipped with a Boost bar to go extremely fast, as well as the Homing Attack. While it's still somewhat platform-orientated, Modern Sonic is best defined by his much faster pace, as well as certain in-your-face surprises (Whoa! A giant totem pole is falling towards Sonic!).

Also exclusive to the 3DS version is the Special Stage. Special Stages are for rewarding a Chaos Emerald after completing obstacles where you must collect orbs to be able to Boost to dash to collect the emerald. The gameplay here is like that of Sonic 2's or Sonic 3D Blast's Special Stages.

Remember when Sonic had to race Metal Sonic? Or when he was chased by that killer whale? How about when he was venturing through the neon Casino Night Zone? You can relive those moments in this game, and they fit perfectly with the new level layouts!

The graphics are hugely lush and very colorful and detailed. Heck, since you don't need a 3D TV to see it in 3D (obviously), you can just go and gaze at the visuals at their finest with ease and awe. The music is from the respective Sonic games that the worlds represent, but the soundtrack is still pretty robust and catchy.

Online play is a very nice addition. You can race another player worldwide through any level that you have beaten in the main game. Like racing games such as Mario Kart Wii, there are points rewarded to you as the other player loses those amount of points. The result is well done and adds to the replay value greatly.

Speaking of replay value, like the console versions, this game has a whopping 100 missions. However, you'd need to unlock said missions, but once you do, be thankful that there's even more to the game than it shows to begin with. The game is actually very short. You can beat the game within perhaps a couple hours. But even if you did beat the game with its minimal requirements, there is absolutely no doubting that you had enjoyed the thrillride throughout, from beginning to end. While it wasn't better than the console versions, it certainly was close. Besides, whether you have the console version or not, this game is still a must-buy.
Happy Birthday, Sonic...

(Note: You should buy the game from a store. Copies online are overpriced as of this writing, and are as expensive as Wii games)

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy Birthday, Sonic! September 21, 2012

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Don't call it a comeback! He's been here for years! I've been a true Sonic fan, and this is the best Sonic game right now. Taking everything from the past, including game mechanics and mixing them with a formula that worked in Sonic Rush turns this game into one of the best right now. Classic Sonic plays like a normal Sonic game. Modern Sonic plays like a Sonic Rush game. Very enjoyable. I've found barely any flaws with this game. I love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool game! A must have for Sonic fans who own a 3DS! January 25, 2012
Platform for Display:Nintendo 3DS
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
With all the games coming out for the 3DS, this game is at the top of the list, along with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Mario Kart 7, and Super Street Fighter 4 3D. The story is quite short, but I found it fun to go back and work on my ranks. Now I have all S ranks, and over 300,000 supporter points on my profile card! This game is great to have when you're bored and you want to play something very fun! At first, I heard people dissing the game saying it's not as good as the console version, well I say it is! Although the modern sonic is not full 3d, the sidescrolling is very fun. The 3d gameplay isn't as fun, in my opinion. I grew up on sidescrolling 2d sonic, and that's what I've always preferred.

Not as bad as the 3 1/2 star rating suggest
to be honest, I never really liked that game that much, I gave up on that stupid biohazard boss. I gave it away and bought Mario Tennis Open and Kid Icarus Uprising. should I buy it again?

I lol @ the price scalpers. The same thing is happening with a few DS titles, such as Kirby Mass attack. It's stupid, since they're literally surrendering sales to Gamestop. I don't think there's anyone stupid enough to pay the price the price scalpers are demanding.

It's basically the same... Read more
