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

Scroll down to the bottom for a video review. Sonic's been on a roll as of late. Both Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations succeeded where past 3D efforts failed by returning the focus to platforming.

Great level design; Lots of content; Smooth 60 FPS framerate

Certain Color Powers utilize the Wii U GamePad in silly ways; Jump controls are a bit floaty

Sonic Lost World [...] represents the future of the series which is now looking fantastically bright. Sonic has had a rather turbulent time over the past ten years. Ever since the original Sega Megadrive games it seems as if Sonic Team has never quite been able to recapture the essence of what made...

Well-balanced gameplay mechanics; Stunningly good art direction; An amazing aural experience; Brilliant humour

Some utterly cringe-worthy dialogue; The Deadly Six could have been deadlier

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 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.

Sega are enjoying a partnership with Nintendo that older fans like myself never saw coming. These two rivals were always supposed to butt heads and eternally try to outdo each other. Strangely though, this newfound cooperation isn't such a bad alternative.

There's a saying that goes: "Always aim for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." And so it is for Sonic Lost World, which clearly sets out to be Super Mario Galaxy 3: Hedgehog Edition.

Gorgeous; authentically stylised Sonic visuals; The run button finally fixes 3D hog control; It may as well be called Sonic X-Treme

The story and cutscenes are abysmal; Not always as intuitive as it should be; ‘Lives' system doesn't fit the game

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.

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

S higeru Miyamoto's career and that of his most famous creation, Super Mario, have remained entwined for 30 years. Every Mario game is checked and tweaked by Nintendo's prize designer, whose fingerprints and aromatic genius can be sensed in even the most throwaway spin-off.
