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.

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.

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

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.

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.
