I love platformers; they're probably my very favourite sort of games. I grew up playing Mario, Adventure Island and just about every other game that involved jumping in and on things. I, rather naturally, have an old love for Sonic the Hedgehog.

My nephew loved the game. He had no problem playing the game independently.

Fans have been waiting ten years for Sonic to shine again.

2D exploration fun; fantastic look to the design

Uninteresting enemies; 3D control not perfect; still some QTEs

I vividly remember finally nabbing that final star in Mario Galaxy 2 . It had taken weeks of planning the perfect route, and timing each and every button press to guide Mario across that agonising collection of spinning platforms and deathly gravity traps.

2D sections are nostalgic fun

Wildly derivative of Mario Galaxy; Painfully difficult levels as part of the main story arc; Way too much "dude bro" in the cutscenes; Often inaccurate handling makes it all the more tricky

Oh Sonic, how you effortlessly crush our dreams as though they were but hapless robots of Dr Robotnik's creation. Those trailers looked so good . An obvious and welcome dollop of Mario Galaxy mixed in with instantly recognisable Sonic-flavoured herbs and spices.

Pretty similar to all the other sonic games that Ive played in the past although I found it a bit more difficult. perhaps Im just out of practise. But good game and exactly what I was looking for

With Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations , it's safe to say that over the past few years the Blue Blur has been doing pretty good for himself. Now he seeks to make a new hit with his latest game, Sonic Lost World.

Fun and innovative gameplay; parkour system and run button add to the experience; beautiful graphics; smooth frame rate; great level design; orchestrated soundtrack

Some bosses are way too easy; others are unfairly difficult

Sonic was one of my childhood pals. We spent a lot of time together on the SEGA Genesis-we both did a lot of growing up. And while I got my act together, the thrill-seeking hedgehog got too caught up in the "fast" life and began to spin out of control.

It's nice to see Sonic again; The game is pretty enough on the surface

Where do I begin; The game is pretty enough on the surface; Horrible characters; dialogue; and story; Gameplay is random; unclear; and sometimes a frustrating mess

Sonic Lost World on the Nintendo 3DS is close to the Wii U home console version. The Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Lost World is scaled down quite a bit though. What is impressive to me is how good it looks on this little portable device.

In the eternal battle of Mario versus Sonic, consider Sonic Lost World a notch in the Italian plumber's win column. The game is a blatant rip-off of the Super Mario Galaxy series, unsuccessfully transporting the high-speed antics of Sega's famous blue hedgehog, who's been pretty down on his luck...
