Am I the only person who thought Colors and Generations were practically 9/10?
Or are the 6/10 and 7/10 a scores based on comparing them to past Sonic games exclusively.
I should elaborate, I prefer using the full 10 point scale and just so you know where I stand, here's how I'd rate the series;
Sonic the Hedgehog: 10/10
Sonic the Hedgehog 2: 11/10
Sonic the Hedgehog CD: 6/10
Sonic the Hedgehog 3: 9/10
Sonic & Knuckles: 10/10
Sonic Adventure: 9/10
Sonic Adventure 2: 7/10
Sonic Heroes: 5/10
Sonic Unleashed: 5/10
Sonic Colours: 6/10
Sonic Generations: 8/10
I think Sonic Generations was a good game, but it fell well short of entering greatness levels. There is however, certainly enough there for most platformer fans to get a large dosage of enjoyment from.
Yup. classics destroy mario for sure. Gotta say I agree with all your picks in generations. Thanks for reminding me how awesome rooftop run classic is.
To me its largely due to the level design, sure the Mario games are not bad, but at the end of the day
this looks more interesting to me than
this.
And yes, there is a lot of good things in Sonic Generations and I'd recommend you try it out again. Sonic Team did try to fix modern Sonic so that those who prefer platforming could enjoy it, wither this be something as him bouncing off walls or just introducing steps where you had to jump (Both simple ideas that somehow was overlooked) it worked. It's a shame that they did not continue their upwards trajectory but whatever, it's not like I lose anything from them under performing.
Hmm... well excuses for sonicteam are really starting to run out imo. Maybe the team working on the other game(generations team) could do a better job... yeah I did it again
It will be interesting to see what they have in store but I'll reserve my judgement until then which I've done with every Sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2. Nothing wrong with taking a break, surprised more people don't to be honest.
