You open a game magazine, go to the page where the Sonic Lost World is, read the whole thing and look at the score. 2/10, 3/10. You close the magazine and sit on the couch. You feel depressed.

My grandson loved this game, he found it entertaining He enjoyed it very much. He is a sonic fan and has many games and he really rated this one at 9 out of ten

Overall sonic lost world is a pretty good game one of the best sonic titles we have had for a while I would personnally recommend getting it for sure

Bought for granddaughter which she loves! Appropriate for her as she is 6 years old Granddaughter says, "Sonic the hedgehog is fast with his kaos emeralds.

This game is so much fun, there are many possible things to do (run on walls, for example), the graphics are amazing, the music is beautiful. In some levels, there are multiple paths that you can choose so you can replay the same levels and they can be totally different.

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

The spikey, blue haired, red boot-wearing hedgehog is back and he's tearing up the speed limit in this Nintendo-exclusive title, Sonic Lost World. Fans of the series can breathe a long sigh of relief because this game has everything you'd want out of a Sonic title and so much more.

Excellent graphics running at 60fps; 1080p; Gorgeous; creative level design; Polished presentation with a wonderful musical score and engaging cut scenes; Captures classic Sonic-style gameplay in a new and innovative way

Trial-and-error gameplay requires multiple playthroughs of levels; Poor boss fight designs; Extremely challenging gameplay may be too difficult for casual gamers

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

It's strange that the highest rating Sonic game in the last 10 years is one where Sonic doesn't even use his legs to go fast. What I'm trying to say is, since Sonic Adventure released onto the Dreamcast back in 1998, there really hasn't been a Sonic title that has been universally praised.

This is the best Sonic game EVER! The control is perfect, the story line is great and it looks AMAZING!!! Best Game for the Wii U and NEEDS TO BE BOUGHT!!
