This review kind of falls in line with what I think of the 3DS version. I had to babysit today, so didn't get a chance to write final impressions. Tomorrow, though. I agree--I really like what they did with Classic Sonic's playstyle in the 3DS version. It feels like a faithful representation. The level designs post-Sonic 3&K, though? Ugh. Forget them.
Like I said before, I thought the 3DS version was kind of in the middle. It wasn't very bad, but it wasn't very good either. It's just... there.

You can read more at the link. It's quite detailed and points out many flaws, but many good attributes as well. I'd advise waiting a little bit for bomba pricing.

Oh god that spin dash XD
Worst part was the random guy shouting 'Easy with the rape'. Made no sense at all.

Dont miss this later today! I hear sonic is leading the parade!
Have been playing Generations for 3DS all morning, Classic Feels tight and he can roll so its better then HD classic. Modern levels seem almost too fast and take time to master but it brings back memories of Sonic Rush! I say pick this up on 3DS if you have the money to get it.
Its a great title! I picked this up with Mario 3D Land and getting Kart in 2 weeks!

Oh man, Splash Hill Zone music in the background while the balloon is onscreen. Sega be trollin'.

Huh? What channel is this? (I'm Canadian, so we celebrated our Thanksgiving last month!) Edit: nvm found it. I've never seen the parade live before! It's so extravagant. Babar~
Ah, I probably missed it. It'll be YouTubed eventually.

Wonder how much Sega paid to have Sonic be the first balloon in the parade.

I hope it didn't hurt anyone this time.
This parade is so interesting. I've never been home to watch one before due to school or other things. It seems like such a huge deal in the States...

It's a tradition in New York to have a parade every Thanksgiving. There's always some game company having a balloon or a float of some sort.
Pretty surprised Sega did one for Sonic.
EDIT: Here's video.

i think it starts in 30 mins.... anyone know of a live stream?
Already underway, man. You and I both missed Sonic starting it off.

It might be on tape delay for each time zone as I saw a "starts at 9pm everywhere" ad this morning. So those of you in the pacific timeline might be able to catch it from the beginning, though I'm not certain of any of this.

To be fair there was a sonic balloon back in 1993 as well.
As soon as I heard that playing I knew someone on GAF was going to comment on it XD
Apparently it's the version from the Sonic/Mario London Olympics game, if the comments from the video Foffy posted are accurate. Single best of those comments:

Thanks a lot! The balloon looks nice. I was thinking that this parade looks way more extravagant than our Santa Claus parades (which are usually a weekend before American Thanksgiving). LOL at Splash Hill music.
Yeah, Sonic had a balloon in 1993. He knocked down a lamppost which injured a police officer and a child, apparently.
No. The final boss battle is all kinds of unpolished. If you feel like you got stuck, restart.
Also, switch the music to something better.
Haha, I already did. "Open Your Heart" FTW ^_^
Also, I beat it again, but apparently I took some damage. How am I supposed to know whether or not I took damage or not? There really is not clear indication. Maybe when I got close and when the boss clasped his hands together?
EDIT: Is boosting through objects considering "taking a hit"? I notice that when I do, Sonic seemingly gets knocked back a bit even though he boosted through it. Maybe I should just avoid objects all together.
Nope Splash Hill was live in the parade.
Well...at least he hit the checkpoint. But in all seriousness, how did the balloon knock over the lampost? Shouldnt it have ripped apart like that dino float (We're back)?

I think damage registers when the boss hits you with his hands and fist, when the homing attack hits you, and when you get hit by parts of the levels (like the buildings and debris--though it seems like damage registering happens at random when it comes to the debris)? It's best to stay away from everything, even if you think you should boost into something. :/
It's poorly constructed. Honestly the one in the 3DS version is soooo much better.
:lol... It was probably really windy that day.
Oh my god... I remember renting that movie so many times when I was little.

It's a good little tune. The best thing about Sonic 4.

Open Your Heart is better than Live and Learn I don't know why so many people always go crazy over L&L overall this game was very satisfying what would have made it better was probably a better story and maybe a hub world that was good. More meatier would have been Sonic's friends go through his boards with slighly different changes.
It's cut from the same cloth as Seaside Hill and Sea Gate. All decent tracks, if not especially inspired or inspiring. Splash Hill just uses really awful instruments.

Honestly, it's fine compositionally. But the instrumentation needs some changes. Too much odd synth.
Now that I think about it, Lost Labyrinth act 2 and Mad Gear act 1 werent bad either. The music anyway.
I loled when I saw SEGA was still struggling to make people see Sonic's beautiful smile even in 1993.
Double mouth FTW.

So he can half smile on each side LOL
Gotta float fast
So I was on my 3rd attack (before he throws the fireball) and the game fucking flipped around (and put the pink core was BEHIND Sonic) and I got smashed. In fact, I was already latched on to the pink core and Sonic detached and that's when the game flipped around.
Good times with this POS boss -_-
But at least I'm getting the hang of it.
EDIT: I DID IT!!!
Finally @_@ About 80 lives and no more money (lol), I finally got the achievement.
That thing tried to smash me TWICE when I was going for the core. But I was ready for that bullshit ^_^. And stupidly, I only just realized that that buzzing sound meant that I was about to get smashed. I originally thought that it meant that I was close to latching on to the core. Then it occurred to me that the the "you're on the core" notification SFX differed from the other buzzing sound. DERP

Wish I would have realized that. I was too busy hearing "HOMING SHOT" and yelling at the friends to shut up. Guess that will come in handy when I go for the "no damage" thing.

Oh shitty friends. Why you gotta talk so much. Although Eggman isn't much better for the Dragoon Boss fight, surprised no one has really mentioned him.
"HOW ABOUT A CHANGE OF PACE!?"
"HOW ABOUT A CHANGE OF PACE!?"
"HOW ABOUT A CHANGE OF PACE!?"

PREPARE TO BE SKEWERED.
Honestly though, I guess I'm just used to Eggman spazzing out like that. It's been that way since "GET A LOAD OF THIS" from Sonic Adventure. Not to mention his voice isn't as annoying as some of Sonic's friends (dammit Cream).
Oh man! Finally bought the game last night on Steam and started the download today.
Knowing I get more Eggman shouting out the same damn quote pumps me up in the dumbest way possible. I love that shit.

Is Sonic Generations better on 360 or ps3? Which controller feels better for the game? I should note that I played Sonic 4 on 360 and had no problems.
PC > 360 > PS3
Agreed. Sonic 4's instruments are so bad, not to mention I can't unhear cats in half of the songs. :/
I have to credit the friends a little bit though: they warned me when I was about to get smashed ("Watch out Sonic", or something like that) and it was at the same time that honking/buzzing sound was happening. After I realized that, I completely tuned them out and just waited for the honking/buzzing sound.

Haha, I love it in a dumb kind of way too. Which upsets me that Generations didn't bother to include "TAKE THIS" or "ITS NO USE" for Silver, or even "This is the ultim-CHAOSS CONTROLLLLL" for Shadow's boss fight. Oh well.
...
"No way!! I can't believe this!!"
Man, I thought Eggman said HOW ABOUT A CHANGE OF FATE. That sounded kind of... badass. Oh well.
By the way, my relatives were here for Thanksgiving. One of them who is not even 10 yet wanted to play Sonic. So he played Unleashed for the PS3, he liked it until the werehog section, so he ragequit it and wanted to play another Sonic game. So he picked Sonic Generations. He ended up liking Classic Sonic more. (He still likes Modern Sonic though!) We both took turns playing, he played Classic, I played Modern. Had a fun time. He also thinks Sonic with a sword/gun/werehog/etc is stupid.
