Awesome as always

Dimps has done a really great job with the handheld Sonic games every time around, while the console games are each a hit-and-miss after Sonic Heroes (Until the Wii version of this game, that is). However, until now, Dimps' Sonics never shared the same name with a console game. But is the game as terrific as the Wii version?

When starting a new game, it shockingly shows a CGI cutscene from the Wii game. Yep. This is going to be good (But if only more CGI cutscenes were shown...). As for the game itself, it builds on Sonic Rush's fantastic gameplay (You can see my review for that if you want) and 2.5D graphical style, while adding in its own setting and storyline, as well as Wisps (For power-ups) and a Homing Attack.

The level design is extremely fun and has a fair amount of platforming elements thrown in together with fast speed! Plus, while Sonic Rush had pits for you to die in here and there, Sonic Colors doesn't have as much, giving you more time to gaze at the running hedgehog in awe. Things get even more exciting when collecting a Wisp. There's one that lets you Boost more, but others have different powers, such as drilling into the ground, using flames to hop in mid-air and beyond, etc.

Unlike the Wii version, though, in which there were 6 acts and a Boss in each world, Sonic Colors for DS has 2 and a Boss, making the game rather short. Fortunately, there are Missions in the game, and they are surprisingly hosted by other Sonic characters (Knuckles, Blaze, Charmy, Espio, and heck; even Silver and Omega!), which add some replay value. Actually, one thing that would keep you playing is the online play. Yup. Sonic Colors has you race against other people worldwide! Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone online most likely due to Sonic Generations being released. Hopefully, you'll have better luck than I did.

But overall, this is still a fantastic game. Definitely a must-have for DS. Even if you already own the Wii game, it's totally worth it.

Another great Sonic game by DIMPS

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 12, 2011

If you love the classic Sonic games, Sonic Rush games, or Sonic Advance games, you'll definitely want to pick this one up. The gameplay is, other than the new "Wisp" abilities added, almost identical to the Rush games, which is a good thing. Music is great, level design is great, graphics are impressive (for DS), character control is very good, and the new voice actors did a good job (though it's really only Sonic that has a few speaking lines here and there). The only thing I really found wrong with this game was the length: it's about 5 or 6 hours long, not counting the time it would take to go back and get all "A" ranks on the levels and missions, and find the hidden red rings. The core game, however, can be beaten very quickly.

Bottom line: if you like Sonic, good platforming games, or just want a good DS title to play before the 3DS launch, this is for you.

Sonic Colors for Wii is probably the best 3D Sonic, but this portable equivalent is a highly lesser version. Paling compared to Dimps' earlier original 2D Sonic efforts, this experience feels like Colors light, with only two stages per world that barely show off the capabilities of each Wisp before jumping into an annoying boss fight. The Rush titles (especially Rush Adventure) are better options when it comes to a side-scrolling Sonic game on DS.

I like how quick the delivery was very satisfied with the product I got in the mail. Definitely a solid but short sonic experience on the ds.

Typical sonic game; 2 dimensional linear course with loops and monsters along the way. The game itself is pretty great albeit short with only a few levels it can be completed in no time, however there is very high replay value (as with all sonic games). The writing in this game is by no means good and not even solid the characters say dopey things and sonic is just as overconfident as always, but hey we dont buy sonic games for their dialogue do we? Where it lacks in story it makes up for in gameplay which is the whole point of this game. The kids will love this one so as long as you can get it for 20 or less I would pick it up you wont regret it.

Cons: Looooong levels, missions are very hard to complete, difficulty level rises from extremely easy to very hard within two worlds so this makes the game very hard to complete.

Pros: clear graphics, cool theme with the whole idea that Sonic gets special powers from aliens called wisps, catchy music.

I would recommend this game to someone who is an expert at video games. Apparently, I am not that good yet and therefore this game was VERY frustrating for me. In fact, I have already sent this game back for a return to get my money back. The idea is great, but if only this game were a little easier. I was also very surprised by the great graphics. I recommend the getting a 3ds and the game Sonic Lost World for it. Now that's a game worth paying for......

If your a big Sonic Fan like me, this game won't disappoint

If your a big Sonic Fan like me, this game won't disappoint. But Sonic Rush and Rush Adventure are better. If you have a Wii get the Wii version of Colors since it's better but if you don't have one or want to play on the go, this version is enjoyable. On a 10-star rating system, I would give it 7.2/10. I am giving an extra ".2" points for the special stages which are exclusive to the DS version, they have an original music track which is incredible. I would give the Wii version an 8/10 as it has more original content. They reused a lot of content to make "new" levels for the DS version.
