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.

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

Sonic Lost World is bad even by Sonic standards.

Decent Graphics and Soundtrack

Terrible Controls; Frustrating Gameplay

This game has received widely terrible reviews from critics everywhere. I bought the game because I tend to enjoy even Sonic's most wretched moments. Generations and Colors was like a breathe of fresh air when I played them, and they both received generally positive reviews.

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

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.

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

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.
