"Sonic Lost World is a great platform game. SEGA did a great job creating a brilliant level design and mashing up the best elements from Colors and Generations. This is a solid Wii U exclusive which, along with Rayman Legends, can easily sell the Nintendo console to platformers lovers." ... Read full review

"Even though the hedgehog’s deceleration is a resounding success, that precision in gameplay is hindered by a temperamental homing attack and subsequent cheap deaths. That aside, though, Sonic Lost World is unquestionably a return to form and a reason to care again – thankfully without the rose-tinted specs." ... Read full review

"It's more clear than ever that Sega doesn't know where to go with Sonic. The game tries to do a lot of things and end up failing at most of them. Those of you who want a great platformer for the Wii U should just pick up Rayman Legends or wait for Super Mario 3D World." ... Read full review

Unlike the Critics like the biased IGN and unreliable Gamespot, I actually know how to play a Sonic game. And let me tell you, I knew how toUnlike the Critics like the biased IGN and unreliable Gamespot, I actually know how to play a Sonic game. And let me tell you, I knew how to play this Masterpiece. Many people think it's a copy off of Mario Galaxy, although the truth is Mario Galaxy is kinda a copy off of the space levels in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure 2's levels are related to Yoshi's Island space-like levels, and Yoshi's Island's space levels are a copy off of many parts of Sonic 3 and Knuckles's Carnival Night Zone and Death Egg Zone, and Sonic X-treme (Which a lot of people seem to be in denial of, thinking it was a fish-eye view game only, but the truth is it was a combination of both gravity-based gameplay and the fish-eye view, yeah I've done my research.) But I digress. And while I admit Mario Galaxy was a magnificent game, it was not completely original, because Sega thought of the idea first, and while many fans of Mario Galaxy can deny it all they want, it's not going to change the facts, but again, I emphasize, Mario Galaxy was a god-like game, a great step away from the money-grabbing, repetitive, sexist, though sometimes creative, games Mario is usually in.

So the claims that Sonic Lost World is a rip-off of Mario Galaxy is distorted. I honestly like to think Sonic Lost World is just Sonic X-treme being finished off because of the similarities that one of the original ideas for the storyline Sonic X-treme was going to have was implemented in Sonic Lost World, The six Zeti being the original 'six chaos monsters' that were going to be under forced to do Eggman's biding after he stole and released them from the Master Emerald, (Half of that idea was put to use on Chaos in Sonic Adventure.) Although while I admit Sonic Lost World is nearly original, I do admit I've found out a few of the developers of the game where inspired by parts of Mario Galaxy, but that's parts, not all of it. Many creators have been inspired by others ideas, but have managed to make it original. Just like my father always says, "Good people are great creators, great people are inspired by the ideas of others, with so many ideas in the world, arguably nothing is truly original."… Expand

Un 8 es muy alto, un 7 muy bajo, pero no puedo, así que me inclino por el 8 para describir este juego, que no es el mejor juego de Sonic, no tiene la mejor jugabilidad y no tiene la mejor historia, pero que usa los multiples atributos que tiene la Wii U, tiene un sistema de niveles nuevo para la serie que resulta un tanto divertido y multiples caminos para finalizarlos y que en si tiene el potencial de ser un buen plataformas, así este trillado por la crítica y la decepción de jugadores tradicionales de Sonic pero nunca deja de ser un juego subvalorado.… Expand

Meh and mixed game. Having a run button is weird and annoying. Wall running and having the spindash back is cool though. The level design isMeh and mixed game. Having a run button is weird and annoying. Wall running and having the spindash back is cool though. The level design is pretty bland or taken from past Sonic games though. To be honest I just got bored of this game. It's a lot more platform based like a Mario game which is why it's on the Wii U. Having the wisps back I'm mixed about, I think they should've just stayed unique to Sonic Colors but now we have them in Sonic Forces too. The story is pretty bad too. The Seven Deadly Six aren't deadly at all and just seem like a joke. The boss fights are hella easy too. The story with the energy being taken from the world and stuff isn't a bad concept but the antagonists are just really bad. Anyways, this game REALLY depends on the player's preference. You either like it or don't like it. I personally don't like it but I don't think it's a horrible game either.… Expand
