Each mission you beat gives you a reward to add to your collection area. They range from beating a level without taking any damage or collecting a number of rings in a short amount of time to beating a boss with only one ring. No my friends, mission mode and online are the real meat of the game. If that’s all there was, it would be a huge letdown. You also get graded on rival races, special stages and boss fights.īut like I said before, the main game is not the best part. Not getting hit once and not losing any rings, but since I didn’t quite take the fastest path, I could only muster an A. I once did a run through Modern Green Hill. Thankfully, S ranks are much harder to get here than in the console versions and come across as actually deserved. The only real reason to go back and play the levels from the main game is to improve your score and try to get S ranks. Even quicker than the console versions and almost as fast as Sonic 4. With only 7 worlds, the main game can be beaten in under two hours. Despite what Iizuka said about “Sonic’s portable history”, only Water Palace from Sonic Rush and Tropical Resport from Sonic Colors DS represent any portable Sonic titles. Each world gets two acts and a special stage, and each era gets a rival to race and a boss from said era. Classic, Dreamcast (the weakest of the three) and modern. The worlds are spread out between 3 eras. These range from Green Hill Zone to Tropical Resort. The main game only features seven worlds from Sonic’s past. Sonic Generations 3DS is in a unique position where the main game is not the best part.

Does it boost up to the glory days of the Advance and Rush series or does it trip over its own two feet? Grab a chili dog and read on. Now, we have Dimps first foray onto the 3DS with Sonic Generations. Then, we have Sonic 4 which had decent level design, but odd physics which turned some people away. This started with Colors DS which IMO, came up a little short of capturing what made Rush and Rush Adventure fun. For every great Sonic console game, there’s a mediocre Dimps adaption on the portable systems. However, in recent years, it seems like there’s been a new Sonic Cycle. Sonic Rush is one of my favorite Sonic games and I loved the Advance series sans number three. I used to be a huge fan of Dimps in the past.
