Im currently playing throughSonic X Shadow Generationsand having a great time.

2D Sonic plays better; 3D Sonic has cooler environments.

3D Sonic can do homing attacks and ground pounds; 2D Sonic cant.

3D Sonic can turn into an orange spaceship; 2D Sonic can turn into a pink circular saw.

Okay, that last one is just for one pretty weird level.

For most series that have run long enough, theres a before and an after.

Developers sometimes pay homage to their earlier work, like Naughty Dog including aCrash Bandicootlevel inUncharted 4.

In Sonic Generations, each level has two stages.

The environmental theme remains the same, but Sonic interacts with it in very different ways.

Mario could easily lead a game like this (or several).

He has a richer catalog to mine than Sonic, too.

and Cappy at the same time and turn into a T-Rex with a water jetpack!

Come on Nintendo, let’s get a gumbo going.

The console wars live on at the box office.
