I had been disappointed over the years with Sonic, especially when it switched from 2D to 3D. I recently finished the newest Sonic game, "Sonic Generations" and I was impressed with it.
The Plot
The game is about Past 2D Sonic and Current 3D Sonic getting warped into a place of nothingness. From there, they must save their (annoying) friends and bring life back to the world. Both Sonics stages play wonderful which makes the plot of the game work perfectly.
The Game Play
I played this game with my five year old son. We both were able to play without any problems. The game was easy enough for him but also giving a veteran player some challenges. The game was challenging without being impossible.
Replay Value and Trophy/Achievements
The game has plenty of rewards to get which gives the game decent replay value. Some of the rewards were challenging, like beating the first map under a minute. Though they are challenging, they are doable with enough patience and practice.
The game offers an online feature, but it is nothing much. All they offer are speed runs, which shows that some people are either crazy good or cheating.
Overall
The game is a family friendly game that is wonderfully done. It is great for all ages and a good generation game which brings nostalgia.

It features one of my favorite games in the franchise as a stage (Sonic '06 - Crisis City) and has more music tracks than Mario can crank out in one game, bringing music from any (possibly every) Sonic game over the past 20 years!
If you are a true Sonic fan, then get this game and watch the legacy that IS the blue blur's race by!

Retro Sonic Meets New Sonic!

The Good Retro: Good back to the basic feel of Sonic that Sega/Nintendo has ruined for a good while. great levels a real nostalgic feel for anyone born 1980+ or who played Sonic on the Sega and Genesis, the original levels from Sonic and Sonic 2 each down to the slightest detail of the original making me feel as if I was younger. doesn't disappoint in the slightest however anyone who hasn't really enjoyed the original Sonic wouldn't really enjoy this part of the game. 20/10 for bringing back the original and still making him the best!
The Good Newer Sonic: Brings a few good levels from the newer Sonic games my favorite and still prob one of the best is Sonic Adventure 2 battle level's I have found that each and every level is epic and action packed and a fun experience even made levels from games I didn't even like more fun! not much I can say when the newer Sonic has a bit of hit and miss games but don't let that understate the levels are FUN!!! 10/10 on the scale for redeeming this new generation
Gameplay: The game play is original for Sega/Nintendo which is a first!!! you can play as Retro-Sonic and Sonic on levels like "Green Hill" also great ones from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle I enjoyed Retro Sonic on this one, has great repeatability which is a first for me! 10/10 Gameplay.
Story: Great for Retro-Sonic while redeeming for Sonic's past games like Sonic and the BlackKnight. 10/10
Controls: This was something I had an issue with while great! I felt as if it was too touch-and-go? I don't think it will be easy for everyone as I felt my reaction was faster than the game could react to.
Over all: Great gameplay, Great story, Controls touch-and-go, Back to the basic's with Retro-Sonic and Sonic all the levels while short are fun and fun to re-do, not many bosses, and bosses are simple, but lack in numbers, over all I liked it, just wished each level had a boss b

for 20 years, Sonic the Hedgehog has been keeping Gamers happy with his cool personatily and sense of speed. While things did not start well on the PS3 and Xbox 360, with the release of that bad Sonic game (Sonic the Hedgehog A.K.A the 2006 disaster) which almost destroyed the famed hedgehog's reputation. Two years after that, another Sonic game called Sonic Unleashed came out, while it was a whole lot better than the 2006 disaster, some of the critics still said bad things about the game, most likely the werehog brawling stages.
To celebrate and honor Sonic's 20th anniversary, Sega decieded to make a new Sonic game,with recreating levels from his past adventures and remaking the Sonic from the 90's as a second playable charcater, which these results came out perfect. The game starts out with Sonic's friends putting together a party for his 20th anniversary, while they enjoyed it, a dark creature named the Time Eater sends all of his friends to different places from his past adventures, and both Sonics have to go through those levels and recuse present Sonic's friends. The game features stages from the hedgehog's past adventures, including Green Hill Zone from the genesis original, City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and a few others. The stages look and feel like they were in their original games. They are each seprated into two acts, with act 1 featuring the old Sonic, and act 2 featuring today's Sonic. Old Sonic's gameplay feels very similar to the Genesis games except it is in 3D graphics. Today Sonic's gameplay is carried from Sonic Unleashed, which I really like this type of gameplay.
Sonic Generations is a very fun blast to the past, the game is better than Unleashed. If you are a hardcore Sonic fan or a newcomer to the series then get this game.
