Although exposed to Sonic before, never like this! An amazing game to play, and a great story as well. Enjoy!

Past 3D Sonic games have ranged from absolutely dismal to infrequently entertaining, but 'Lost World' represents something outrageously new for the Sonic Team over at Sega. They are finally making a real step in the direction of that original vision: translating Sonic's platforming and speed into...

A notable addition to the Sonic catalogue, but be prepared to turn the air blue from time to time.

Lush; alluring visuals; 2D stages remain the highlight; Impressive audio work

Frequently frustrating flaws; Power-ups are a waste of time; Slower Sonic takes some adjusting to

Sonic Lost World is a game that shows just how important the fluidity of controls are to any experience. First I'll start with the positives. Right off the bat you can tell that the game is absolutely gorgeous.

It's been a rather turbulent time for Sonic the Hedgehog over the last two decades. Leaping into the platforming scene in 1991, the SEGA mascot was primed to ignite the living-room with liquid smooth gameplay that coupled together speed and obstacle precision in a truly harmonious way.

Ah, Sonic. You were such a important impact in my childhood. Growing up with Sega consoles, I always looked forward to one of your new games. But now, how you have fallen from the platforming throne of the 16-bit era, once battling for the top mascot, you're now selling your image for insurance...

+ Visually Fantastic; great platformer for the Wii U; + You JUST play as Sonic; and none of his terrible friends; + Plenty of secret and unlockables

- Cheap Deaths Aplenty; - Wisp abilities are tacked on and unnecessary; - Boss fights are too easy and forgettable; - No Crush 40 or even Jun Senoue

Sonic Lost World isn't a bad game, but it's simply not the game Sega is capable of producing. Sonic games are generally built on two pillars: speed and attitude. While Lost World carries both of these, to varying success, when faced with the looming, and unfortunate, similarities to Nintendo's own...

+ Bright & colourful visuals; + Inspired level design; + 2D sections are fun; + Attempts a few new ideas

- New control scheme feels sloppy; - Cheap deaths aplenty; - Item sharing isn't all that useful

There's no hiding, no denying it – Sonic Lost World draws inspiration from Super Mario Galaxy. It looks like it, feels like it for most of the game and the levels all draw upon the planetoids theme we loved from the Galaxy titles. So how does Sonic slot into the equation? He's not Mario.

Lost World is the latest title in the Sonic series released on both Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. In this edition Dr. Eggman is at it again, harnessing the power of menacing creatures known as The Deadly Six but this time the creatures rise up against their master and for the first time Sonic and Dr.

I loved the idea of having my Wii u I thought it was great but not with this game the problem is that u can not play this game on the game pad with out having the TV on for playing purposes which with having small kids in the house was a benefit for me to give them there TV time and me my game time...
