Sonic takes a hard look on his past…and comes out all the better for it Everyone has their own theories on how Sega's most beloved mascot has become something of an ageing pet in the past 20 years. Some would pin it on the horridly clumpy Sonic Adventure 2 .

Fast and fun gameplay; Loads of challenges to complete; Near perfect reflection on Sonic's career

TEEEEEEDIOUS boss fights; Would've loved more levels to blast through

" Sonic Generations " for 3DS is the perfect celebration of Sonic. It looks beautiful, and while it retains many of Sonic franchise's problems it also includes all the best the series has offered in its twenty years.

Sonic Generations may be the best home console Sonic video game of all time. It pays homage to the past, and it includes the present all at the same time. You have probably seen our extensive coverage of this game on the website.

Great game and highly reccomended for any fan of Sonic! Don't let the last couple of years worth of sonic games fool you into thinking this will be bad! Very nostalgic for people that played Sonic back in the day :p. Only about 5 hours long though.

On 3DS, Sonic Generations is a more half-hearted anniversary affair which somehow misses the point of the whole exercise.

After a decade of Sega messing with our lovable blue pin cushion, they have finally seen the error of their ways and graced us with what we have been waiting for for a long time. Combining the classic action of the genesis era with the speed of sonic unleashed comes a game that has me coming back...

While many Sonic games have gained a notoriety for being disappointing over the past decade, several truly great Sonic titles have appeared exclusively on Nintendo systems, particularly on handhelds.

I have a lot of respect for Sega. They have absolutely no shame in displaying every one of Sonic's missteps, regardless of how poorly received they may have been. Sonic Generations is no exception, featuring loads of fanfare for lovers of every major title in the franchise.

Chemical Plant Zone is still awesome

"That looks like a homing shot! Careful; Sonic! That looks like a homing shot! Careful; Sonic! That looks like a homing shot! Careful; Sonic!

Last year SEGA gave us Sonic the Hedgehog in his original form with Sonic 4: Episode 1 . Instead of taking this game further, Sonic Team are celebrating 20 years of the spiky blue hedgehog with Sonic Generations .

Sonic the Hedgehog. Everyone knows him and his games. People hold him up as the mascot for Sega, and truth be told, there have been a ton of games featuring the fast footed character. Interesting fact...

+ Fantastic presentation; + Wonderful remixed music; + Fast; fun game play; + Tons of collectables; + Lots of replayability; + Just a blast to play

Few boss fights; Some levels can become confusing; A short game overall
