Sonic X Shadow Generations | Review Thread

I bought this because it was around 25 bucks, and I feel like I got suckered.
I mean, I grew up with the Blue Blur, and as a Genesis kid, there's no franchise I'd love to see succeed more than Sonic.
they've killed any possibility of Mania 2, so it might as well be dead to the world.
Advice to all old-school 2D Sonic fans for the future, no matter how many of us like some of the newer 3D games and rate some of them highly, don't bother purchasing and playing them.

I know this might sound harsh and gatekeep-y, but 2D fans have stated over and over...and over, that you guys simply do not like the 3D games

Don't waste money. Don't even be tempted.

Let the 3D fans enjoy their 3D, and then the 2D fans can enjoy their 2D content. Let the split be the split.

Now from saying that Dacvak Dacvak , I will recommend some good, positively-rated 2D Sonic-likes for you:

Love Freedom Planet 1 & 2. I'll definite give the others a try.

And you're totally right. I really hate the 3D Sonic games.

This game is a perfect example of beloved IP selling a dogshit game. Somehow it feels even worse than the original Sonic Generations on X360.

I really want to hear from the defenders who endorse the horrible camera and jank-ass movement of this piece of shit game. I'm mad I spent any amount of money on this.

Maybe back in 2011 I was a bit more lenient. I mean, I grew up with the Blue Blur, and as a Genesis kid, there's no franchise I'd love to see succeed more than Sonic. But this game just feels so shit. I have so many thoughts about how easily this experience could have been improved, but I don't even want to waste my time typing them out.

This game sucks. This studio sucks. It makes me feel like this entire franchise sucks, but I know that's not true. But unfortunately, they've killed any possibility of Mania 2, so it might as well be dead to the world.

Let me be a lesson. I hope no one else spends any money on this shit-ass game.
2D sections suck but 3D are good. Unfortunately you're just in the minority and it's okay to not like something.
