Sonic Colors - Nintendo Wii

Both of my sons loves this game a lot. They loves playing it together as a team as well as taking turns. They switch off and seeing who wins more. My husband also plays with them too to see if he can win too. Its a very fun game

This is the best 3-D Sonic game. Lets just start there. Sonic Team finally dropped the gimmicks, the useless characters, and the over-the-top storylines and brought Sonic back to his roots while still utilizing the current-gen look and feel. A lot of what works here seems to have been inspired by Mario Galaxy, but that doesnt really bother me since the original Sonic for the Genesis was also a reaction to Mario. In this game, Sonic Team managed to find a camera system that works very well (whyd it take so long?), the controls are fine most of the time, and this is some of the best music - minus the opening theme song - that Jun Senoue has composed. For the first time in ages I enjoyed playing a Sonic game. The use of Wisps is very well done. While there are some levels where you need to use them to complete the stage, in others the Wisps are optional, and its great to be able to return to levels with new Wisp powers and find new areas. The added bonus of collecting red coins to open levels in the virtual Sonic stages is a very nice touch (although its best to play these levels by yourself, 2 player is kind of annoying). I hope that SEGA has enough success with this game that we get a sequel, and in that sequel I hope that some niggling bugs can get worked out. First, this game is short. There is great opportunity for replayability by finding all the red coins, but your first runthrough should be no more than 7 or 8 hours. Secondly, there is quite a bit of inconsistency in quality between levels. Some are very long, have a great pace and lots of hidden areas, but then youll hit two or three in a row that are ridiculously short, have little gimmicks in them that seemed designed to do nother more than kill you over and over, and are just not much fun. I dont want to spoil anything, but Ill just say that the final couple of levels and boss fights are remarkably irritating. It very much feels like Sonic Team either lost some of their inspiration towards the end, or just ran out of time. But after such a long stretch of terrible Sonic games, its hard for me to stay mad at Sonic Colors less endearing quirks for too long. This is a huge step in the right direction, and I only hope that future versions of this series expand on what has been developed here.

Would be five stars if it had more levels. Has great graphics and cool power ups.

My son truly enjoys the game

Nice game. It plays well and everything,

This is a really solid modern sonic game it features fun and inventive level design, killer music and really bright beautiful colors (pun definitely intended?). My only real gripe with sonic colors is that like MOST of modern Sonic outings it can at times feel more like an on rails theme-park ride and less like a 3d platformer that wants to challenge the player for more than 3 seconds. That said, I did enjoy my time with Sonic Colors and it has found a nice place in my collection. If you are a fan of titles such as Sonic Adventure or Sonic Generations then I would say this one is definitely worth a pick-up just dont expect anything ground breaking.

This game is basically a combination of Sonic & The Secret Rings and any standard 2-D Sonic game. Its actually pretty cool, but is just missing the element that made Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 awesome. The game more or less plays straight-forward (like running in the opposite direction of the camera) or sideways like 2-D games and switches periodically. It could be my TV again, but I have trouble seeing what is what on the screen. The graphics are unbelievably beautiful! The colors just come alive and are just amazing to look at! Everything in the game is just so well animated and detailed as far as cartoons go. I find it pretty funny that Sonics eyes are very... umm... reflecting like mirrors. Creepy. Nah, its cool. The game isnt super-shiny, but isnt dull either. The way the game works is you start off with a movie (probably the E3 movie), see the classic SEGA logo, but modernized, and then see a really cool title that just says PRESS START (New Game + Continue). You get a map screen with 7 or 8 worlds (much like in Super Mario 3 or New Super Mario Bros.) and within each world, you have at least 5 stages and a boss level. You race through the levels and just like in the classic games, get the high score and best times. You also get ranks, but I havent found out if they do anything like in Sonic Adventure series. Clear a world, the next one opens up. Its a pretty straight forward game. I think the music is a little out of place. Its like some orchestrations and I guess rock. I switched the language to Japanese because it still uses the original voice actors from the first games. I didnt like the English voice acting. You can have English and Japanese spoken and English, German, Japanese, French, Italian, and Spanish (which is pretty rare for games these days). The bottom-line, Sonic Colors is a great return to the classic Sonic series and has simple, fun gameplay to offer. This game is geared towards fans of the classic series and new Sonic fans. Compatible controls (which is very important for me) is basically anything that plugs into a Wii. That is Gamecube controller, Classic Controller, Wii-mote (SW), Wii-chuck, and 3rd party (non-gun) controllers.

the game works great and my kid loves it nice game its doing good hes happy i am too yes sir

I got this just in time for my kids birthday. Really fun game and had no issues with the product.

Not as great as some of the other straightforward sonic games. These can get pretty confusing to start with for 6 year olds. But he still likes it so its good.
