"Sonic Generations is a consequential game. It could be a lot of things, an affirmation of the hope the Sonic fanbase holds on its shoulders, a love-letter or blessing come too late or truly the final nail in Sonic’s coffin. Sonic’s revival is one that has been awaited and expected and denied over and over again and to a lot of gamers, this could be the final word on whether there’s any life left in the blue hedgehog. It’s been 20 years and after two decades, is this game the long awaited apology? Or is it the dying sputters of a mammal long since dead? Check out the HOTs and NOTs of Sonic Generations." - JPS
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a remaster of Sonic Generations released in 2011. The real question is, does the remaster live up to the hype of the original?
Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?
Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.
Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.
Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.
I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.
Mania was 5 hours roughly
However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short
The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones
Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.
Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2
Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭
Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.
The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.
Never thought I would see another Sonic game get such great reviews again. Welcome back bud.
I completely love this game. So far none of that silly town stuff to get to the next stage. You start and play, very well done!
So many different paths for shortcuts and time savers. The only thing I'm not digging is the use of items and super sonic for better times on tracks but oh well it still is a great game!
Great game, picked it up at Frys for $40! Sonic is finally back and feels like a real Sonic game again!
