New information and videos from Sonic Colours

[Juanmatron]

According to reports, the UK edition of NGamer magazine has put out their review of Sonic Colours on Wii in their new issue released to store shelves today and it’s good news, because the magazine has given the game a score of 86%. NGamer has many positive things to say about the game, praising the single player, the Wisps and the replay value given when returning to stages to find hidden routes with later unlocked Wisps.

“The Similarity to the Mario Galaxy Games is it’s abundance of ideas. This is Sonic Team in an uncharacteristically creative and generous mood. It’s one that suits them well. The addition of the power-altering wisps is what does it.”

- “These aren’t powerups, they’re toys – single-use shots of pure fun that have the happy side effect of opening up new pathways in already pleasingly labyrinthine stages.”

- “The lists of powers goes on and on, and backtracking to find new areas in which to use them is a big part of the fun.”

NGamer weren’t too keen on the multiplayer section of the game though, claiming it can feel like a tug of war at times.

“As a multiplayer game Sonic Colours is less than perfect (the speedy action often results in a game of tug of war using the screen as a rope).”

The review reveals a new feature in the game’s multiplayer mode, the ability to play as your Mii.

- The ability to swap Sonic for your Miis means there’s still throwaway fun to be had.” (in multiplayer)

They finish the review up with a high note in their summary.

Summary – “Colours Rockets Sonic closer to the stratospheric heights of past glories and hints at a great future. Welcome back old friend, it’s been to long.”

And new videos too:

I always thought that Sega would have to get a well known 3rd party dev to bring the series back to its glory days but shit me Sonic Team have done it themselves!

Interesting...It looks like its just a modified Sonic Unleashed engine and all day time levels...

 

[shakirmoledina]

its KISS with perfect graphics

This is the Sonic game I have been waiting for. I swear Sonic Unleashed is the worst game they have released.

This is the Sonic game I have been waiting for. I swear the nighttime levels of Sonic Unleashed is the worst game they have released.

I don't get SEGA.
I've heard lots of bad things (and seen bad videos) of Sonic 4.
Yet Sonic Colours looks absolutely awesome.

I can't wait for it to come out. It looks amazing. I want to see some footage of the DS version though.

Having a feeling of skepticism towards all 3D Sonic games, I entered this topic thinking "Wow, another on of these? Time for some disappointment".

After watching the gameplay, I feel that this game really seems like a Sonic game. It's got the speed, the platforming, and even brings a new feature into the mix without ruining the whole game. I like the look of this game, and really REALLY want to try it out.

Sonic was back for awhile for me, I LOVED Sonic and the Secret Rings. I hate all them haters I meet, that always go "I NEVER played it, but the game SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! I know cuz I heard someone on gamefaqs say it once." and I keep meeting people that say that when the gameplay in Sonic and the Secret Rings RULES, oh well.

 

[basher11]

im guessing the DS one is just as good?
(i haven't checked it yet)

 

[SPH73]

I actually have very high hopes for this game.

 

[KingVamp]

Secret Ring and Black Knights are not that bad. They certainly need major improvements, but they are enjoyable.

Sonic Unleashed is what really pissed me off. Day stages are good, but night stages are what really kills it. It is slow, hard to control, repetitive, and freaking long.

This game just keeps looking better, and better. I can't wait!
