Sonic Colors - Nintendo Wii

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.

if you have played sonic unleashed on the 360 sonic is all about speed.well this is a written review on sonic colors.well i ordered the game to see if it was worth my time a it was i have never been so gaga about a sonic game in my life.(well i am also gaga about generations)I have never never experienced power ups and 2D sections. this is a splendid game and i recommend this. i have to get to the cons though con #1 is that thre are points in the damn game that are to tedious and are not fun.Con #2 you feel like your going back and forth. VERDICT : 9.0

stuck it in it popped up works fine no issues

my grandson liked it but it he said he finished it or something to that nature

This was a gift for our grandson for Christmas, and we becamae the best Grands EVER!!! He has wanted this game since it came out, and this was a great price. Delivery was fast and as promised and lots of fun on Christmas morning!

I had intended to buy this on release day. But after 3 family deaths, a near divorce and financial trouble, my dream seemed unlikely. But I bought this to play as a laugh. I lost my original reason. When it arrived, I got off the phone with a help hotline. I got the Wii prepped, started the game and felt a sort of happiness from playing video games. As I played through two levels, I felt happy to be back to normal, like I was revived from a dormant state So far, Tropical Resort is what I cleared so far. I found out that there are 2 ways to play (Wiimote and Nunchuk, and horizontal Wiimote) I admit that a mere video game cannot erase tragedy, but distractions do alleviate temporary feelings

It’s such a good game.I highly recommend any sonic fan to this game.

It was sold as new says new on package but not wrapped in paper and wont play.

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.

my dad got me sonic colors: is the best game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like it because there are 6 levels, 7 bosses , and a 2 player sonic simulater. my favorite part is terminal velocity because there is only 2 levels and a final boss which you use super color sonic on.
