  • Sonic Generations Demo 2: My thoughts

    So another demo of Sonic Generations was released yesterday for XBox 360. The PS3 version is slated to release on the 25th. The file is about 600 some MB but downloaded fairly quickly.

    Upon entering the start menu you are treated with being able to play Green Hill Zone which is presumed to be the first level in Sonic Generations as both Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic. The Classic Sonic iteration plays very similar to the demo released earlier but smoother and little to no frame rate stutters. The physics are what you'd expect and multiple paths galore. Modern Sonic plays extremely similar to Sonic Unleashed daytime. Defeating enemies and getting rings fills your boost meter which you can use to tear through sections and additional enemies. Ground stomping was also kept along with sliding under crevices. You can also rest assured the dreaded quick time events that plagued Sonic Unleashed will not be making an appearance.

    All in all, this title is looking solid and I cannot wait for November 1st.
