Sonic Generations - PS3 Game (Retro Fam)

Hours upon hours of family fun. My boys, 8 and 4, absolutely love it - the 8 year old because it challenges him to remember things, and my 4 year old because he can crash into characters and fly in the clouds!

Good

This was a fun game that came with a ton of nostalgia. Alot of familiar stages have been reimagined and look amazing. The game mechanics are fun and never boring. Story is sweet and simple.

Although, if you're trying to get everything it'll probably take a bit more time.

This game has a bit of a catch, though: you play through levels from the other Sonic games as both classic and modern renditions of both Sonic and the gameplay they represent.In total, the game has 9 stages, each from Sonic 1-3, Adventure 1 and 2, Heroes, the 2006 "Sonic The Hedgehog" (called Sonic 2006 by some), Unleashed, and Colors in that order. Each stage has two "acts", the first of which is done in a classic style and the latter of which is done in a 3D style akin to his recent games.For example, the first stage is Green Hill Zone from the original Sonic game on the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive. You play it with the same old Sonic you used to play it as, side-scrolling 2D action and all. However, in Act 2 of the stage, you play as "modern Sonic" who races through the stage in 3 dimensions, just like in his more recent adventures. If you've played
