Double the Sonic Means Double the Adventure

Sonic Generations is the ultimate celebration of 20 years in Sonic gaming, delivering the definitive gaming experience for Sonic fans new and experienced. In Sonic Generations Sonic's birthday and universe is thrown into chaos when a mysterious new power reveals itself, creating 'time holes' which take Sonic and his friends back in time. While there, Sonic runs into some very familiar characters from his past including a younger, classic version of himself. Together these two Sonics must defeat their enemies, save their friends, and find out who is behind this diabolical deed. The game features levels inspired by all three console based eras of Sonic gameplay: classic Sega Genesis, Dreamcast and the modern game consoles of today. All of these are presented in crystal-clear HD, and are playable on 3D TVs. As you travel through Sonic's history elements such as attacks, available power-ups and other features remain consistent with franchise gameplay history as well, with the main difference being that players have the ability to choose which version of Sonic they would like to play as.

Sonic is back baby.

By Donald Degen on November 1, 2011

Platform for Display: Xbox 360

This game is such an accomplishment, such an amazing pinnacle of achievement, and such a beautiful mesh of gaming new and old-fused together underneath the bright red shoes and fleet feet of the world's most famous hedgehog. This game has finally done sonic justice, and has all the intense action and fun of sonic adventure 1 and 2, with the addition of that classic platforming brilliance of the sonic 1,2,3, and knuckles era. The level design and adaptation are incredible, bosses are true to form, as well as the feel and overall atmosphere of the game. The levels are INSANELY fast paced...and feel actually well, FUN! I have been a diehard sonic fan for years, and have become discouraged with alot of Sega's decisions...however this game takes the cake; and rights all previous wrongs. All the glitches have been fixed, and the game flows so continually and fluidly-(without the stupid side characters or annoying mini missions). There are other challenges which allow you to purchase upgrades from the shop-including the complete original sonic 1 game from the Sega Genesis console.
On top of this..there is so SO much more...the bosses, the music, OOOH GOD THE MUSIC
I have never felt this much nostalgia from just one game...and if you are either a sonic fan or ever enjoyed a sonic game...then you HAVE to pick up generations today.
Sonic is back and, although he may have skidded, slipped, or slid a bit here and there, he is running harder and faster than ever before...20 years later and never better.

It's the new best Sonic game!

By Ryan Sil. (Gamer & freelance PC/Android indie dev) on November 25, 2011

Platform for Display: Xbox 360

It seems like that due to Sonic Colors, Sega's finally taken 3D Sonic games to the right direction. It's further proven with the release of Sonic Generations, a game that takes nearly all of Sonic's history and compacts it into one game, with new levels in those familiar environments! Naturally, we Sonic fans were all hyped. And what's even better is that the final product was no letdown.

Sonic Generations starts you off in the classic Green Hill Zone, re-imagined with entirely new level design, semi-remixed versions of the catchy level music, and brilliant graphical details! Once you start playing, it feels just like the Genesis Sonic games all over again, with the addition of X letting you automatically Spin-Dash (Although the original "Down+A" combination is still there), and...B to crouch ("Down" still present too).

In case you didn't get enough of the game's from-the-start brilliance, there's also the Dreamcast-era Modern Sonic, who, like in Sonic Colors, is complete with Boosting, Homing Attack, etc. He gets his own versions of the background music as well. Since Sega's finally doing it right for 3D Sonic games, playing as Modern Sonic is just fun as it is playing as his old pot-bellied counterpart.

Remember when there were scenes like that giant truck chasing Sonic down a road in Sonic Adventure 2? Sonic racing Metal Sonic? Shadow?Read more ›

Two hogs are better than one

By Nick Dangerous on December 4, 2011

Platform for Display: Xbox 360

Following on from last years platforming masterclass Sonic colours, Sonic Team returns to celebrate 20 years of the blue blur with Sonic Generations. Here Modern Sonic (the long quilled, homing attacking, boosting trickster from Sonic Adventure onwards) teams up with his former self Classic Sonic (the short, tubby, Spin Attacking, Spin Dashing hog of the 16-Bit era) via a time travelling plot involving an outer space beastie know as the Time Eater. As a 20 year celebration each of SG's nine stages have been selected from nine previous games in the series spanning three eras- Classic, Dreamcast & Modern. All redesigned with entirely new layouts. Acts 1 are played with C Sonic as strictly side scrolling 2D levels (albeit stunningly rendered using the hedgehog engine) and Acts 2 are played with M Sonic were you will mostly be running into the screen at ridiculous speeds. A game for every Sonic fan then, genius. The nine stages are unlocked three at a time once you have cleared all acts of the current era as both Sonics in addition to a few of each stages' own Challenge Acts (more about them later).

Classic Sonic Overview

This is what all the old fans have been waiting for. Ever since the release of last years craptastic Sonic 4 Sega fans worldwide have been clamouring for a return of the original hog from the early 90's. C Sonic can run, jump, roll, Spin Attack, Spin Dash and that's it. In the original games Yuji Naka's expert coding created an unrealistic pinball feel to Sonic's physics were he could build momentum bouncing from one enemy to another. For SG C Sonic uses the Havok engine to create a more realistic feeling of momentum and as such the player can no longer build momentum chaining enemy attacks.Read more ›
