Thankyou for the killer Casino Night, Radical Highway, and Big Arm remixes <3

Now, please go away.

Worse than the HD version (obviously). Having both Classic and Modern Sonic be 2D really does detract from the experience, and almost makes you wonder why they made the game at all. They try to do this thing where you unlock new moves throughout the game, but why keep Modern Sonic from getting the stomp until the game's nearly over already? And, come on, why are we giving Classic Sonic the homing attack? The best thing about the game is shared in common with the HD version: visiting all these old locations from past Sonic games, and there really is charm in that. But playing throught the game... eh. Just another mediocre Sonic game.

It's ok. It's just Sonic Generations but modern Sonic plays more like in the Rush games I guess.

The level design is not nearly as good tho, and classic Sonic can use the homing attack for whatever reason. So the distinction between these two is barely present in this version of the game.

It's fine. If you can't play the actual Sonic Generations, it's not a terrible alternative.


fairly good fun. my favourite thing to do is just seeing how fast i can beat the bigarms boss

I'd say that this is a harmless little version of Sonic Generations. Short, but sweet, in spite of some small missed opportunities, especially when it comes to putting more stages from Sonic's handheld history, instead of mainly doing other stages from games that were already represented in the console version.

Also, the fact that it's a full 2D game, when they could've put Modern Sonic in a 3D setting, now that we're on the 3DS and not the DS, is also disappointing.

There's plenty of replay value here, not only with the missions to unlock extra stuff, but also getting an S Rank here is harder than in the console version, so you have more of a challenge.

But yeah, in spite of some disappointing aspects, it's a solid game.

This game does not deserve the big arm remix

Has its fun moments but quite the disappointment when compared to the console experience I was hoping to get here as a kid. When the entire gimmick of Modern Sonic is being in 3D, it's very saddening to see both playstyles be in 2D. It is cool that they used different stages in this version though.

Pretty mid and has a lot of missed potential considering the fact that they could have used stages from the handheld games in the series, there are more problems with this game but I honestly don't really care about this version of the game even if it was the first version I played.

O game não é bom, mas também não é ruim. Joguei no 3ds e meu único problema, é a quantia de buracos desde a primeira fase. Posso esta falando bobagem, mas senti falta de literalmente poder CORRER, e isso considero um grande problema, ja que se trata de Sonic.

While being a fun game and by no means bad this version always felt like a massive missed opportunity by sega to celebrate the handheld games of sonic’s past while we only wind up with a rush and colors ds level. By no means is it bad and its nice to see some levels that werent in the original like mushroom hill or emerald coast but that just doesnt save it from feeling like a missed opportunity.

To say that I was disappointed is an understatement.

underrated, good companion title to the console version. finished it this year but forgot when exactly

Meh... just meh. Should've focused more on Sonic's portable history... and played more like Sonic Rush for the modern stages.

No matter which version: Time Eater can eat a bunch of dicks.
I still enjoyed it, it's basically Sonic Rush 4 (yep. Colors was the 3rd). Also literally rushed on development and content. Once you beat the main story, there is no point to return at this beside enjoying whatever levels you appreciated.

It's not the same game as the original, but it keeps the core fun gameplay.

A decent version of Sonic Generations. Modern Sonic basically plays like a Rush game and it does come with it's own unique bosses, so there is merit to at least try out this version.

The cut and dry version of the anniversary game, not much too it, I can feel the budget and time constraints but its also by Dimps so that's probably why it feels like that. very easy aside from highly questionable level design and just ungodly cheap deaths due to it. I was always curious of this version due to the exclusive levels but 10 years later I now realize i wasn't missing much due to the levels all feeling the same with minimal uniqueness, now PC mods probably do it 10x better anyway.

Cool plot but it isn't that fun for me...

Sonic generations lo jugué cuando recién salió en pc y me había gustado mucho, ahora para la maratón de Sonic que estoy haciendo me decante por la versión de 3ds por probar algo distinto y sinceramente superó mis espectativas.

La historia aunque sea una imbecilidad, yo igual haría lo que fuera por recuperar mi completo (hotdog), fuera de bromas siento que está bien tirado el tema de que ambos mundos de Sonic se junten y como los personajes interactúan entre si, Sonic chikito pese a no hablar tiene bastante carisma, y me gustan las 2 versiones de robotnik.

Jugablemente si se puede decir que es inferior ya que ambos Sonic tienen jugabilidad 2D, con algunos cambios como el homing attack de Sonic moderno y el spindash del Sonic antiguo, aparte de algunos gimmicks de otros juegos de Sonic como por ejemplo de Sonic colors.

Una de las cosas principales que me jode es que en parte hay "quick time events" que al ser un juego de velocidad tienen menos de 1 segundo de reacción, y si fallas te mueres, con lo cual hay niveles que tuve que repetir un par de veces.

Otra cosa a destacar es que la selección de niveles que escogieron esta bastante buena, la única pega es que quitaron city escape, sin embargo los niveles se sienten todos únicos y esto lo hace muy disfrutable.

Ahora en cuanto a los graficos, siento que para la 3ds gráficamente cumple, si que es cierto que en FPS no corre de la mejor manera posible, sin embargo, no es un problema porque se puede jugar bastante bien.

Ahora en cuanto a la música el juego es espectacular, los remixes de los distintos temas dependiendo de los personajes son demasiado buenos y te hacen sentir que estás jugando un Sonic clásico, o uno moderno dependiendo.

En conclusión Sonic generations en 3ds es una buena opción tanto si jugaste el original como si no, y es totalmente válido jugar ambos por las diferencias entre los niveles.

Functionally, the game is playable, but it lacks charm and substance. The game also looks really cheap and budget in some parts. For a PSP game like it was supposed to be, it might've been impressive, but for a release on the 3DS, it's underwhelming and boring. The level design is repetitive with cheap deaths, the classic sonic stages from the Genesis Era are 1 by 1 remakes of their original versions which feels extremely lazy. The physics for both characters are fine but aren't put to good use with the bland level design. All in all, a really mediocre game that should be left behind.

i have always wanted this game as a kid after i watched a friend play it on his ps3 so when i got a 3ds with sonic generations for my birthday i was stoked. i was then greeted with massive disappointment. the cutseans were lazy moving png's. the boost levels were only in 2d like classic sonic, and the levels were lamer. but it was the only game i had on the 3ds so i played the shit out of it. but once i got more games i threw it under my bed. i replayed it recently and yeah its still terrible. don't bother with this port.

this is like mario galaxy 2 but if they pretended they had a bunch of left over ideas

Eh, it's inoffensive enough.
I mean I'm sure a lotta folks were offended that they gave classic Sonic a homing attack, but as someone who doesn't care much for the Sonic bible, I don't mind too much to the point of screaming a swear.


i mean its not horrible, it just isnt very interesting and had alot of missed potential for a 3ds version

Classic sonic before he became evil but on the 3ds

Literally couldn’t beat it because it kept softlocking on speed highway act 2 😭
