4Ks' Blog - Sonic Colors

[RSS Bot]

As a select few might know, I'm a Sonic the Hedgehog fan. I buy every Sonic game I can get, and play them all to death. I've played both Sonic Adventure games to completion, got all the ending is Shadow the Hedgehog, aced Sonic CD, and won every Sonic game on Genesis except 3D Blast and Sonic 2. So it is with baited breath that I await Sonic Colors, the newest Sonic game on the Wii.

From what I can see of the screenshots, Colors looks very much like a more polished Sonic Unleashed. It has the same mix of sidescrolling and forward moving gameplay, what looks like the same character sprite from Sonic, and a similar (but more colourful) graphical style. However, while Unleashed had only the hard-but-boring werehog to differentiate itself from other games in the series, Colors has a gimmick that could actually be interesting.
