two questions sharky
-what did you think of the final boss (or the bosses in general)
-do you think it's a higher quality/more satisfying game than colors?
I think if I had to review generations, I'd lean more towards a high six or a low seven out of ten. It just isn't polished enough to deserve higher. So much squandered opportunity. But I am enjoying it a lot right now.
The final boss was pretty crap, the second worst part of the game in fact. Only second to the mission with Vector where you have to knock notes back at him... That was
really crap.
But neither were enough to bring my enjoyment of the overall game down.
The controls are certainly tighter on Generations which counts for a lot, the script jokes were much better in generations and of course all the throw backs, the sound track and everything else that gets the nostalgia flowing worked in Generations favour so Generations probably takes the crown.
(In the modern parts there is also a lot more free roaming, Sonic Adventure style segments in Generations which really added to the fun.)
That said, I loved Sonic Colours for what it was- a Sonic platformer trying to do something different and for once doing it really, really well. The Wisp powers were great fun.
I don't think there was much missed oppertunitly at all I think they went above and beyond what I expected with fan service from the music, to elemental sheilds, I love the missions where you have to free the animals from the capsules or play keep up with the goal post... Fantastic throw backs.
Even some of the coop mini games were good, loved the Espio one where you had to swing like a ninja.
I found the positives with the game out weighed the negitives by a huge margin.
