Sonic Colors Ultimate Gamingbolt Review But Its Honest

Sonic has had a VERY rocky transition to 3D. I’m not saying anything new here, EVERYONE knows this! despite sonic 3D blast and sonic adventure getting good reviews, and the franchise has been struggling SO MUCH with transitioning its blistering 2D gameplay into 3D but since im a classic purist, im gonna talk about how only the 2D games are you know, good.

Sonic’s transition in the 3D space have been so spectacular, and delivered among the WORST GAMES EVER MADE SO CONSISTENTLY (when has a sonic game EVER been one of the worst games ever made, but continue), that people forget how AWESOME the 2D sonic games because the 3D ones suck, omg, all of them are on autopilot and have dumb friends and bottomless pits, OMG I CANT BEAT THE FIRST LEVEL, wait, were still on air?

QUICK CUT THE CAMERA!

That has never happened with a 3D Sonic game despite Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic 06, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colours, Sonic Generations and Sonic Lost World Existing, but some have come closer to achieving greatness than others. None have come closer than Sonic Colors did, when this "unassuming" title launched exclusively on the Wii over a decade ago. So it makes sense that, in celebration of Sega’s mascot’s 30th anniversary, this one Sonic game comes the closest to distilling the essence of Sonic at the peak of his powers, and realizing them in a 3D game would be the one that they turn to (so are we gonna forget sonic 06 having like 20 powers to use for sonic?). And so, we get Sonic Colors Ultimate.

Ten years later, it still mostly holds up – that’s what happens when the core game design was actually good because it knocked off mario! ALL HAIL MARIO BEST FRANCHISE EVUH!, rather than relying on "gee whiz gimmickry" that won’t stand the test of time, those little kids these days playin sonic 06, BACK IN MY DAY WE PLAYED MULTIPLAYER IN SONIC 2, AND WE LIKED IT!. While Sonic Colors ALWAYS had issues because its a sonic game and we are bigots who hate every old franchise going 3D except for mario and zelda, and those issues are exacerbated with the passage of time so they stick out in Ultimate more (actually no, ultimate has a few more glitches than the original, even if i think the ultimate version is better), it’s still a fundamentally good time and an engaging game, but im gonna hide the fact that im bashing on the game again and again to make the franchise look bad :).
