I kind of understand why this is considered one of the more “well received” 3D Sonic games. People’s expectations of a Wii exclusive Sonic game coming off the heels of Sonic Unleashed (in which people always say the love the day time levels, in which this game is styled after) and Sonic 06 (dont really need to explain this one) were probably pretty low. So when it turned out to be pretty competent, people were probably blown away that Sonic had a fun 3D game. Add in the nice cutscenes, saturday morning cartoon story and looking pretty good for a Wii game, and it established its legacy on the good side of Sonic history. I do not like this game. I barely had any fun playing this, I was mainly just frustrated. This is only the second game that I have played with the boost formula, the other being Forces. Overall, I feel like I had more fun with that game, despite recognizing that Colors is better. I just dont get the boost gameplay, maybe my reflexes arent fast enough? But I never have time to react to things coming my way and just never feel like I can go fast as a result. Forces was so easy that it played itself, so thats probably why I enjoyed it more, because at least I could be winning and laughing at how funny the game is. This game, I feel like a toddler playing my first game. It took me 53 MINUTES to complete the final boss, this gameplay just doesnt click for me. And I dont really have this issue with 2D sonic games, I complete those just fine. Even Sonic Adventure, during the Sonic and Tails stages I am completely fine. On top of all that, I dont have an issue with the sillier story, it can actually be pretty funny at times. But the world designs and overall art style is just so, boring. The music is super forgettable, which is shocking for a Sonic game. The audio work is REALLY bad, like Sonic wont make a noise randomly from time to time when in the middle of gameplay. It’s not the worst thing ever, but I really did have a overall more memorable and more fun time when playing Forces compared to this.
