I haven't played a Sonic game since Sonic 2 but THAT is one hell of a CE, makes it really tempting for me, I always had soft spot for the little guy. If only the price wasn't so high, amazon has it listed at €99,99.

I really liked the demo. Things went by so fast though! The background was wizzing past me and I almost lost track of Sonic

It's got all the bosses you want too

That's why it's so good!!!!

People have been complaining for years that newer Sonic games aren't as fast as Sonic 2 was in the industrial zone, not only is classic sonic mode just as fast as that, modern sonic is FASTERRRRR omg it's so much fun going so fast, and really exciting, I want this game so baddddd

I bought Sonic Generations! It's more of a surprise gift for my nephew, but as he is too young for a 360 it means I'll hold onto it and he can play it anytime he's down, which is usually once a week. He'll freak out when I show him

Of course, I've been playing it and it's pretty cool! Early days yet but I hear the campaign is pretty short anyway so I'm not gonna rush through it. I got 3 achievements for clearing the first stage as 2D Sonic (Clear Act 1, Clear Act 1 without getting hit, get S Rank) so that was good!

And just when you figure it might never happen, SEGA have announced that Sonic 4 : Episode 2 will be out this year:

Quote

Making the announcement, Sega said it has been listening "closely" to fan feedback following the launch of Episode 1. Episode 2 has "all-new" character animations and a "completely reworked" physics engine.

It expands the Sonic 4 storyline with new areas and new challenges.

"After twenty years in action, it's clear that Sonic hasn't slowed down one bit," said Sega of America executive Haruki Satomi.

"The first entry in the Sonic 4 saga was a major success. We've listened to the fans and been hard at work making sure we recapture that same spirit of fun in Episode 2. We hope the fans will enjoy it."

Sonic to me has been going downhill after Sonic Adventure. Granted his handheld releases were decent. I'm glad I played Sonic Generations. That was an awesome game and I hope they take what they did for this game and use it for future titles.

As expected, my nephew was pretty excited that his coolest uncle bought him Sonic Generations so he could play it when he visits (doesn't have a 360/PS3 you see). He's played it for 4 hrs today and is at the same spot I am

It's a cool game too! Personally I prefer modern Sonic's levels compared to the others cause they go by at such a high speed. Finding all the unlockables are cool and there seems to be a lot of challenges that are diverse in interesting ways that change up the gameplay some. Also nice to have those stages and unlockable music tracks that really kick that nostalgia. Super impressed by it.

First screenshots and details for Sonic 4 : Episode 2

I feel like I have to say this, because I've been having frustrations with it lately in cleaning up some achievements, but even if I wasn't going for that, I still feel comfortable in saying that the final boss in Sonic Generations could possibly be the worst boss fight I've ever played. It's so unbelievably frustrating for you to gain all that distance to the bad guy but then get knocked back quite a way for you to have to regain that distance. Plus you're on a timer because the number of rings you have count down all the while. Plus the controls are just terrible, you never ever feel like you're in control. On top of it all the music's terrible and you play it hearing nothing but this all the while.

I think they're saying it's a homing shot? Can't be sure.

Some actual Sonic 4 : Episode 2 gameplay here. Been waiting long enough!

I haven't got there myself, but that boss sounds a lot like the final boss from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, boulders, missles chasing you, rings counting down, and it actually gets even harder when you're Hyper Sonic.

So even if it's annoying, it sounds true to the series

Ayako-Luna · « **Reply #78 on:** April 23, 2012, 05:00:55 PM »

I had my problems with the final boss in Sonic Generations too D: It was just argh....
