It is not long before the modern Sonic Sonic and the 1991 meet and to save the world. Well, the story of Sonic has always been a bit far fetched, but it's a good excuse for a game of fun.

A total of nine different zones you can play in two different ways. Each zone consists of two stages and it can in the old and the new style of play, or the classical 2D and modern 3D perspective. This gives a total of eighteen different stages. All zones are from the previous parts of Sonic 1 to Sonic Colours. Each zone consists in part of the history of Sonic: Sonic the classic from the nineties, the generation Dreamcast and Sonic in recent years. The first stage - Greenhill - will be with players of Sonic already very familiar. Although the 2D and 3D versions of each zone you will place roughly in the same situation, they both offer a completely different experience.


The goal remains as always the same: as soon as possible to the endpoint in an internship and preferably with as many gold rings. You should also avoid various enemies or use as an object to get ahead. All old and new elements for the speed to keep coming back. In the classic style you'll encounter more platform elements in 3D and will go mainly to speed. Sometimes even a little too fast and also because of other problems, the classic Sonic in our fun to play. By achieving red stars and find the fastest route to a training challenges you to play several times.

Once back from an internship puts you in the hub world. This is more or less an internship outside of all other courses and other courses from here you can access, view artwork and skills (upgrades) apply. The hub is at the beginning almost entirely white, but as you complete internships and friends save the world a lot more colorful. Besides going through the story you have a small ten challenges to complete. If you want to play the game completely, this is where you'll spend most of their time.

As indicated earlier, the classic Sonic the paint better than the modern Sonic. The problems in the previous 3D Sonic applicable portions of his back. The camera sometimes has trouble keeping track of the lightning fast hedgehog. The steering is quick and platform games of gigantic importance. Generations at Sonic with a combination of these two crucial. The classic Sonic's unique controller perfectly finished but unfortunately today's 3D Sonic less. Example, there are many jumps you make just wrong, so you disappear into the abyss.

Graphically everything looks neat and internships are well put together. The classic Sonic looks better than ever. In the modern Sonic Unfortunately some ugly textures to find if you stand still. But if you stand still for a Sonic game now? The area looks really beautiful for a Sonic title. The big letdown in graphics performance, the cutscenes which are easily put down. It's like a very cheap animation is watching. Animations are wooden and the rest seems a few years behind.


The soundtrack of Sonic Generations consists of old songs that have been mixed. Sonic fans will recognize many tracks and newcomers can enjoy include pop, techno, rock and drum 'n bass. Not only play these songs just off a stage while playing, the gameplay has actually affected the soundtrack. Example, if you submerged or high speed, will distort the music. The playlist will play the game as the only increase, and the music just fatter.
