Sonic Generations
Posted: 04 Nov 2011, 22:10
It's the 20th anniversary of this blue mascot from the 90s. Nearly a decade a great games followed by more than a decade of the worst possible games for this beloved hedgehog. And over the coarse of the last 2 years that mistake has nearly been remedied.
Sonic generations is in all rights a console title but if you watched steam you would notice it is avalible at the asking price of $30. If you are patient unlike me you will find that the release is next week friday off the shelf.
The game is a mixture of classic and modern Sonic gameplay blended into one. Your act 1 is played as chubby sonic while your act 2 is played as attitude sonic. Act 1 being side scrolling and act 2 being side scroll, view from behind and other camera angles. You have a blank hub world that gets coloured in as you complete the levels and to progress beyond certain points you need to do challange sections. Luckly these doesn't require that much of your time but can be seen as doubling the stages you need to get to the next fresh section.
I haven't had any performance issues (given my pc specs) and controls for the first time in years feels solid.
Overall if your a Sonic fan of the new generation its for you. If your a Sonic fan from the past I advise you to check it out. This is the best Sonic game in a decade and needs to be played.
