Sonic Generations

[dsheinem]

I basically started and finished this game in one day...not because it is unreasonably short (it took ~6-7 hours), but because it is awesome.

The final boss fight is the only lame part of the game, and the rest of it is magnificent!

Also, is it weird that I beat a Sega game on a Windows platform that was running in bootcamp on a Macbook...with a DualShock3 controller?

Up until the part you're at, that is. Go back in and you'll unlock Super Sonic. He's more lackluster than you can possibly imagine.

I agree. I pretty much played it every chance I got until it was beat. But yeah the last boss is a pushover. Oh well. Other than that, amazing game. (How come it's not on yr games beaten list yet?)

I generally post 2 or 3 games at a time, instead of posting every time I beat something.

Now that you guys mention the games beaten thread, I kind of want to hurry up and finish this now so I can squeeze one last game into the games beaten thread before the new year. This would be a great way to finish the year with such a great game

Course it'd be a great game to start with for the 2012 games beaten thread too. I probably would have finished this already if I didn't get sidetracked by Rayman Origins

It makes me smile to see naysayers everywhere are playing this game and falling in love with it.

Go Sonic go!

what's really F'd up is that I enjoyed it so much that I almost want to go back and play the horrible games I missed just to try them. I guess I'm now even more curious to see all the missteps and maybe see any brief glimpses of the future awesome. I feel like Sonic 2006 and Unleashed go for like $6 used don't they?

'06 goes for $10 and over. I think Unleashed is cheap though.

i hope sonic team gets the picture and makes the full sonic 4 using the sonic generations engine, that shall be a recipie for win. i hope thats why its taking so long to make the full game...

So I just tried a few rounds in the demo to get a better feel for the game and this is what I think:

The Green Hill remix music is fucking amazing

I'd rather play on PC but I'm sure my computer won't run it, the PS3 version looks a bit blurry

I don't mind the jumping as much as I mind Sonic's movement. He doesn't feel quite as nimble, rather, it feels like there's weird acceleration in his movement. Like he moves a bit slower then suddenly accelerates quicker.

I still don't like the newer Sonic levels.

Yeah... I want it now...

I basically did this when I had a MBP. You may also be interested in the fact that Mac OS supports the DS3 as a bluetooth gamepad out of box, and combined with Controller Mate it's by far the best controller for Mac.
