Sonic Generations Guide 

The gameplay is a mix of 2D and 3D platforming, 2D being the Old Sonic and 3D being the Modern Sonic both Gameplay styles are great but i think the 2D is still the best, the 2D (Old Sonic) Acts are Fast the Platforming is great and is just like it was when the first Sonic the Hedgehog game released 20 years ago but faster.There are plenty of modern twists and some clever devices in the game, most notably the presence of two versions of Sonic – one classic and one 3D. The 3D Sonic is slightly taller and has different abilities – most notably a homing attack that lets you jump then smash into objects that you face, including enemies as well as Sonic's trademark bounce-pads.

Every stage of the game can be played in full side-scrolling mode by switching to retro Sonic, and even 3D Sonic stages, while mostly taking an into-the-screen viewpoint, include side-scrolling sections.Sonic Generations' story cleverly explains the presence of two incarnations of Sonic: at a birthday picnic, a time-travelling monster appears, kidnapping Sonic's friends. To get them back, he must complete each stage, as both versions of himself.The game's worlds are separated by boss-battles, and to unlock those, you must collect keys acquired by completing some very clever challenges, most of which involve the extended cast of characters such as Knuckles, Tails, Amy and Vector, who have co-starred with Sonic over the years.Sega has concentrated on recreating the original games' sense of bewildering speed, but perhaps the game's most impressive aspect is the way in which the 3D, into-the-screen sequences have at last been rendered fun to play, thanks mainly to the homing attack, but also to Sonic's speed boost (topped up, naturally, by collecting rings).

All the old sonic conventions are present and correct – the loop-the-loops, springs that send you miles up into the air and ping you around like a pinball, sequences of precise platforming, spike traps that take you unawares and alternative routes accessible through nailing jumps at just the right moment. Sonic's skateboard makes the odd appearance, and special rainbow-coloured jumps let him perform mid-air tricks. He has acquired some new abilities, too, such as a power-up that turns him into a pink ball of spikes which can roll up walls and across ceilings, and reshape platforms by moving cogs along wires.The boss battles, which involve Sonic pursuing then attacking giant robots bearing the unmistakable stamp of Dr Eggman, are pretty decent. And even though the main game is pretty meaty, there are loads of extra challenges, which display an inventiveness that takes Sonic well out of his comfort zone.

The story its starts out as its Sonics Birthday and then other stuff happens and Old Sonic meets Modern Sonic and then they both go and save there Friends and bring colour back to the world overall its good for a Sonic game but no Sonic game has really been about story as its all about the fast gameplay.His levels focus on blazing speed, an unstoppable force destroying every enemy in his path. Every stage of the game can be played in full side-scrolling mode by switching to retro Sonic, and even 3D Sonic stages, while mostly taking an into-the-screen viewpoint, include side-scrolling sections. Part super hero, part professional skateboarder, Sonic lives up to his name by physically pushing the sound barrier with his speed. This Sonic game is a lot easier than other Sonic games getting an S Rank on a Level is quite Easy, you can collect the Red Rings, Complete the Challenges and getting up higher on the leaderboards overall there is quite a bit of Replay Value as your most likely want to play the Acts again and Collect everything. The game's worlds are separated by boss-battles, and to unlock those, you must collect keys acquired by completing some very clever challenges, most of which involve the extended cast of characters such as Knuckles, Tails, Amy and Vector, who have co-starred with Sonic over the years.

The boss battles, which involve Sonic pursuing then attacking giant robots bearing the unmistakable stamp of Dr Eggman, are pretty decent. And even though the main game is pretty meaty, there are loads of extra challenges, which display an inventiveness that takes Sonic well out of his comfort zone.Some of those resemble boss battles, as they, too, adhere to the chase-then-attack blueprint. Others see you doing things like catching musical notes thrown by Vector the croc or using Knuckles' ability to dig for rings. The caveat with using iconic levels from Sonic's past is that the new levels need to match the quality, and unfortunately for the large part they don't. The levels do a fair job of capturing that classic Sonic feel, with alternate paths for you to find, many of which require lightning fast reflexes and a keen eye. And each level is sprinkled with exhilarating twists, loops, and occasional killer whale. But at the same time there are numerous moments where the level feels less like a playground and more like a Double Dare obstacle course.

The main stages and the challenge levels (excepting the doppleganger races and a deceptively tough chao-hunting race with Cream the Bunny), are well balanced for playability and challenge. If you're going for speed, there are many spots where you must hit a jump sequence perfectly and then follow it with, say, a perfectly timed series of button presses. But Sonic has always been this way. The physics may be floaty but they're consistent; don't nitpick those. Instead nitpick the placement of the objectives which, to be fair to critics, are on many occasions so far away they turn what looks like an ordinary jump into a very technical one.The game's worlds are separated by boss-battles, and to unlock those, you must collect keys acquired by completing some very clever challenges, most of which involve the extended cast of characters such as Knuckles, Tails, Amy and Vector, who have co-starred with Sonic over the years.Sega has concentrated on recreating the original games' sense of bewildering speed, but perhaps the game's most impressive aspect is the way in which the 3D, into-the-screen sequences have at last been rendered fun to play, thanks mainly to the homing attack, but also to Sonic's speed boost (topped up, naturally, by collecting rings).All the old sonic conventions are present and correct – the loop-the-loops, springs that send you miles up into the air and ping you around like a pinball, sequences of precise platforming, spike traps that take you unawares and alternative routes accessible through nailing jumps at just the right moment.
