SO FAST, IT GOES INTO THE PAST!
By NeuroSplicer TOP 100 REVIEWER on 2 Dec. 2011
Platform for Display: PCEdition: Standard Edition
During the Console Wars of the 90's Sonic was SEGA's answer to NINTEDO's Mario: it was the blue hedgehog that sped through its acrobatic levels to showcase Sega Mega Drive's processing speed. Judging by the fact that there are no more SEGA consoles, the outcome of that war is pretty obvious. However, just like the losers of WWII, one should never turn its back to Sonic.
It is fast. And it has spines.

HAS IT REALLY BEEN 20 YEARS!
This game borrows heavily from most Sonic games of the past. You will be reminded of favorite levels of old Sonic games, meet old friends again, relive old adventures and fight old bosses. And all this with just the right measure of nostalgia, a game redesigned to keep fresh and interesting without falling into the trap of simply recreating the old levels.
This Sonic game will appeal to old and young players alike.

CHOOSE YOUR DIMENSIONS
The game is a platformer, with an equal mix of rings to collect, enemies to survive and puzzles to solve in a flash. This is where it gets interesting: you can choose to play each level as either a classic 2D side-scroller or a modern pseudo-3D Third-person action racer. Both are fun so this will bring you back to replay the game again and again. But you better come equipped.

SONIC IS TOO FAST FOR A KEYBOARD
I tried playing the game using the keyboard and although it can be done it is not how one enjoys the game. I am a purist PC gamer so I refuse to use a controller to play a PC game. Whenever a publisher releases a game for the PC, it better be PC-optimized.Read more ›

Laptop NVidia cards not detected - need to apply workaround to get it to run
By A.M. on 3 Jan. 2013
Platform for Display: PCEdition: Standard Edition
If you are running this game on a laptop with an NVidia graphics card, the NVidia cards aren't detected, and the configuration utility defaults to integrated Intel graphics which runs extremely slowly. To get game to work, see the Steam support forums on how to manually edit the config file so graphics card is detected and game then runs OK.

I dont think Amazon allows URL's so I'll copy what worked for me:

"...---- -OR USE THIS METHOD:- ----

TESTED WITH A GeForce GT 555M chip.

1) Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, go to "Manage 3D Settings" then "Program Settings". Add the sonicgenerations.exe executable and set the preferred graphics processor to be the NVIDIA one.

2) Open "Control Panel" and look for the "Device Manager". Open it and expand the "Display Adapters" item. Make a note of the exact name given to your NVIDIA adapter (including the use of capitalisation.

3) Use the Sonic Generations configuration tool to configure the game to your liking and save.

4) Go to the Sonic Generations directory (in most cases "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sonic generations") and open GraphicsConfig.cfg in notepad or your preferred text editing software.

5) You should notice that the second line will be the name of your Intel adapter. Replace this with the name of your NVIDIA adapter exactly as it appeared in Device Manager.

6) You should see a line that says something like "MONITOR\LGD0292\{4d36e96e-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\ 0000" (this will vary depending on your exact setup, just look for line of this format), it should be the second to last line. Delete the contents of this line completely so you are left with a blank line.Read more ›

Awesome game, loved modern sonic gameplay!
By Tallman422 on 19 Mar. 2012
Platform for Display: PCEdition: Standard Edition
My very first console was a Dreamcast, and to this day I still enjoy playing Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. Modern sonic gameplay is fast paced, looks great and is brilliant fun. I can't help but feel that the 2d gameplay lets the game down though, for 2d gameplay it's the best I've ever played don't get me wrong, but why does Sonic even have this kind of 2d gameplay anymore, I thought we moved on from that?
You zip through the stage as modern sonic, blasting through everything and having a great time, then as soon as a 2d section arrives, you find yourself stopped, waiting for a physics defying hovering platform to rise high enough for you to jump to the next physics defying platform... then you get back into 3d gameplay and off you rocket! I can understand the appeal of 2d sonic games, but I really wish they would separate the 2 types of games and not try to merge them, as it ruins it for both the fans of 3d and 2d, because each far prefer their own favourite :P

That mini rant at 2d aside, the game is brilliant if a little short (only 9 main levels with bosses after each 3), the graphics are incredible and it's lovely see old levels from the past all re-imagined and HD, Speed Highway and City Escape are my personal favourites of course, Rooftop Run is also great fun :)

If you're a sonic fan I highly recommend this game, it's a great tribute to Sonics history, and I very much look forward to Sonics next game!

The Blue Blur and the nostalgia's there
By A. Trott on 17 Dec. 2011
Platform for Display: PCEdition: Standard Edition
Let's get this out of the way first. Sonic has been somewhat on the decline as of late, the last possible good Sonic game was Sonic Heros in 2004. In 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and it was a car crash, no it was an oil refinery spill of a game. Subsequently the games that followed were to a degree very poor and not memorable at all With Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Black Knight out i really felt the series was dieing and aged just like my childhood was playing the classic sonic games. Finally Sonic Colours was released in 2010 and the system seemed to be still a bit edgy but was in long last a sonic game i enjoyed.

Now they released Sonic Generations, a forced marriage of classic sonic and the new-age sonic to celebrate 20 years of Sonic goodness. At first my mind though how, and will it work?. In short, yes it worked, it's one of the best sonic games since Sonic CD and the classics. It spans over a large library of his past games picking some of the best levels in his history and the most popular. 9 zones in total with all 2 acts, so that's 18 levels all together + 7 boss fights that's 25 levels in total. This is not taking into consideration all the replay value the side-missions give you, if you want to do them of course.

Gameplay:
Okay, so the player takes control of two sonic's per act of each level. The first act is always taken by Classic sonic and the second act is always taken by new-age sonic. You basically do classic sonic stuff such as collect rings, defeat enemies and battle bosses (albeit sadly not at the end of every level) but you do face of again a number of great bosses in the form of gate that require you to collect all the keys. To get these keys you must do side-missions.Read more ›
