I blew past the environment, never feeling like I had that split second opportunity to make a decision. The game looks really sharp and crisp, and looks to be full of bright colors, just what I’d expect out of a Sonic game.īut I thought the demo moved too fast. The backgrounds had well-defined depth, which looked good as I ran by, so good it halfway distracted me. The demo for the game only allowed me to play as old Sonic, so the game played like the 2D Sonic games, side-scrolling platforming, and fast.
I played the PlayStation 3 demo and thought the game looked and sounded great, but didn’t jive on the gameplay, although I never really have loved the 2D Sonic games.
The game is being developed by Sonic Team (Dimps is developing the 3DS version) and will be published by Sega on November 22, 2011. It brings together the three eras of level design (classic, Dreamcast, and modern) and the two Sonics of the series: the old Sonic with 2D gameplay and the new Sonic with 3D gameplay. Sonic Generations is the next game set for release in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Could this be the ultimate Sonic the Hedgehog game in terms of fan service?
