Probably the best Sonic game ever made, and the perfect celebration of everything Hedgehog for any type of fan. Happy Birthday, Sonic!

The excellent game Sonic has deserved for years, that although doesn't evolve the gameplay formula, adaptates it better than ever to the 3D, although with some flaws. A game that will make fans smile.

The speed is intense, the color and detail is really great, the level designs throughout are impressive, and the control is about as good as we've seen from Sonic.

It's the same recipe as in its predecessors: speed, Sonic and style. Although the handling is not exactly great, there's lot to find in Sonic Generations. Variety, challenges and a nice skill system do Sonic justice.

This is a great way to celebrate the twentieth birthday of a videogame icon. 2D Sonic still stands for a superb platforming experience, while 3D Sonic shows us yet again why this series has gone downhill.

A reminder of both what you adore and abhor in a series that's had its simple joys diluted by flash-in-the-plan iterations and ideas.

All of that good stuff is throttled towards you at a rapid pace, leaving you electrically satisfied in all directions. My only problem with this game is how violent it is.

Sonic Generations is the best Sonic Game since Sonic 2!
I admit i was kind of slipping from being a sonic fan after Sonic 06 but this gameSonic Generations is the best Sonic Game since Sonic 2!
I admit i was kind of slipping from being a sonic fan after Sonic 06 but this game brought me back and its probably one of my favourite games of all time.

The Story is something i can really appreciate as a Sonic fan since they are finally making jokes about themselves and it is hilarious, every line of dialogue is sure to make you atleast giggle!

The Gameplay is everything we ever wanted from a perfect Sonic Game and thats Incredible speed,Momentum based Platforming and any other awesome additions certainly help the game stay fresh and new.

and finally the Graphics are Breathtaking, you have to see them to believe them. (Especially if you got a 3D TV)

In Conclusion Sonic Generations is one of the best games all year and it is definitely worth every penny of its purchase price! (oh and Rival Battles are EPIC)… Expand

Sonic Generations um jogo direcionado principalmente para os fans de Sonic, os que tiveram seus melhores dias da vida jogando tanto com oSonic Generations um jogo direcionado principalmente para os fans de Sonic, os que tiveram seus melhores dias da vida jogando tanto com o baixinho e gordinho quanto com o alto e esbelto. e esse o ponto mais alto do jogo, a distribuição de Fases entre os dois personagens igual (tirando os chefes, que estão em maior numero para o Sonic moderno) e jogar com ambos os Sonic muito divertido e fácil de lidar.
O cenário do jogo quando olhado de perto horrível, porem quando você corre na velocidade do som, e vê como o cenário, as cores e a velocidade do Sonic se completam, esse se torna um dos jogos mais lindos que você vai ver, a recriação das fazes magnifica, impressionante como fazes simples se tornam em fazes gigantes e complexas
Outro fator que um mérito incrível do jogo sua trilha sonora. simplesmente perfeita, durante algumas fazes, o ritmo da musica vai mudar dependendo da velocidade que o Sonic estiver, e a transição muito bem feita, e os Remixes são magníficos, a musica dos créditos fara você querer jogar o ultimo boss (que um dos pontos fracos do jogo) somente para ouvi-la!
Porem nem tudo perfeito, Sonic Generations tem 18 fazes principais contando cada Sonic, e 7 chefes, o que faz com que você possa acabar com o jogo em 4 horas, porem o jogo tem uma sobrevida grande com os desbloqueáveis (Red Rings espalhados pelas fazes), e você tentara tirar Rank S (o que estupidamente fácil, comparado com Sonic Unleashed) em todas as fazes e chefes, e também existem 90 missões extras, e que são tão divertidas quanto as fazes comuns, algumas são tão boas que parecem ser projetos cancelados das fazes originais, mas seria preferível mais fazes diferentes do que missões bônus.
Outro problema a dificuldade do jogo, se você aprendeu a dominar o Sonic, o jogo fica muito fácil, como o desafio de tirar Rank S praticamente não existe, o maior desafio quebrar o próprio record (dica: sempre pegue os caminhos mais altos, geralmente lá que você ira encontrar os melhores percursos e as Red Rings)
E o Pior agravante o fato do jogo não ter um Multiplayer local, e as funções online são apenas para comparar tempos, se seus amigos não tiverem S.G. você vai ter que competir com os asiáticos, que geralmente terminam a faze com 40 segundos ou muito mais de diferença
para quem não fan de Sonic, a nota para esse jogo poderia ser algo como 7, porem para um fan que cresceu jogando no seu Mega Drive (ou Dreamcast) o jogo não precisa ser rotulado com uma nota, pois a nostalgia e a esperança de ver que Sonic ainda pode voltar (ou pelo menos melhorar) a ser o que era, valem o jogo… Expand
