Sonic Generations is the game we deserve, but not the one we need right now. So they'll review him poorly because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A blue blur.JonCha said:

So wait, since the game uses Steamworks, does that mean a copy from someplace like Amazon DD (currently has it for $25) will activate on Steam? I'm still not sure if all Steamworks titles do that or if it's on a by-title basis.

wait... is there no Sonic 3 Ice Cap remake and its awesome music? I thought it was widely considered to be the best stage in any Sonic ever. Its my favourite anyway 
I bought this on D2D and the keys haven't been distributed yet. According to Steam, we get the European midnight release, which is 9 PM EST. Will D2D still wait until midnight since it's US based, or will we get our keys exactly at release? I'd like to play at the same time as everyone else.

I love how some sites are still listing that Sonic Generations is coming to the Wii.
I think most people would pick Lava Reef or Flying Battery.SkylineRKR said:wait... is there no Sonic 3 Ice Cap remake and its awesome music? I thought it was widely considered to be the best stage in any Sonic ever. Its my favourite anyway
Ice Cap is rather lackluster apart from the music and lack of ice world tropes in classic Sonic.
Edge 5/10 = Regular 7/10.
Anyway, if you're in the US, Amazon.com has both versions of the game for $37.50. Best Buy has it for $40 - $10 coupon in their @gamer magazine (costs $5 for one issue or $15 for a year subscription). Target's got Buy 2 Get 1 Free.
Today seems to be a good day to buy.

I don't like the modern Sonic gameplay in comparison to Sonic Adventure's Sonic kind of gameplay.

thank God we can change the music of the stages
City Escape, Crisis City, Rooftop Run and Perfect Chaos are awful

Did they somehow fuck it up in this game, or do you hate the original track?gutter_trash said:

it is atrocious, probably one of the worst sounding track from UnleashedThe_Technomancer said:

I'm sorry, I just can't make this statement gel with reality. My mind rejects it.
Still not out. It's an under the radar release of a somewhat under the radar game, and no one who could've made a preview happen cared enough.Skilletor said:
Surely you're not calling this track awful?

Lava Reef was just the music to me, the level itself wasn't among my top faves or I would've remembered more about it. As far as S3 + K goes, my faves are Ice Cap, Battery and Sky Sanctuary. Marble garden and Sandopolis my least liked. But on the whole, the whole lot of S3+K is nothing short of brilliant.

I don't really think it's a good "stage" outside of the music and the snowboarding at the beginning. Nice atmosphere and music, but not necesarily a good level in terms of design. However, given that a lot of the level designs in Generations deviate from the original design, Sonic Team could design Ice Cap better.SkylineRKR said:wait... is there no Sonic 3 Ice Cap remake and its awesome music?

I'd go with Lava Reef, Flying Battery, Hidden Palace + Sky Sanctuary or Death Egg from Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
I disagree. In fact, I think some of those themes were the best ones in the game.gutter_trash said:
Both remixes of Crisis City were fantastic and I absolutely loved what they did with Rooftop Run. And I like what Cash Cash did with Escape from the City a lot.

So if I buy it from green man gaming http://www.greenmangaming.co.uk/games/adventure/sonic-generations/, do they give me the unlock key for steam right now to use it?
Does that mean that i also get the steam preorder bonus gives (sonic 3 and knuckles), becuase I wanted that also?

they all seem to have some element of touching up, others more than some.Green Scar said:

Kotaku: Should you buy Sonic Generations?
Answer: Yes.
Answer: Yes.
Yeah, that's the general feeling they gave me too.Sciz said:
I wonder if that's the reason why Carnival Night, Ice Cap and Launch Base aren't unlockables in this game, then, since those themes were all replaced in the PC version.

Well that's just horse shit right there. The older levels had far more paths and hidden areas than the newer ones do.

5/10 = 5/5 Classic Sonic + 0/5 Modern Sonic
So I unlocked Sonic Boom and you know the first thing I did with that, fight Metal Sonic again using Sonic Boom as the track, shit was amazing.
Beat the game and there's a lot to love and hate about it, very polarizing.

City Escape and Open Your Heart are huge guilty pleasures for me.AbsoluteZero said:
While I secretly despise you for your opinion on Rooftop Run and Crisis City, I will concede that Ice Cap would have been an amazing level in Generations for the reason you just stated.gutter_trash said:
Classic in Sonic 3 Ice Cap, Modern in Adventure Ice Cap. Or switch em up for shits and giggles.
Speaking of, is playing Modern in Classic's stage/Classic in Modern's stage at all possible? Could it be DLC? Should it be DLC?
Answer: No. Reason: FreeLC
I think you did it wrong.ReBurn said:
$60 + $40-50 = free $60?

The game could have easily used more levels and variety, too much cities and forests.
