Buy Sonic Mania Some of the Sonic franchise's 3-D games have fared well. Sonic Adventures 1 and 2 have loyal followings among Dreamcast and GameCube players. Sonic Colors was considered by Wii owners to be a very good game, and Sonic Generations was regarded well enough by fans that it has become...

When Sonic Mania starts, you get a title screen just like in the old games and the ability to start a single-player game or play against a friend. This multiplayer part mirrors that of the old games, as the screen is split in two, and so you compete to get through the courses first, setting up other...

A touching, and highly playable, labour of love by fans that understand Sonic The Hedgehog better than Sega ever has in the last 20+ years.

Gorgeous pixel artwork and excellent level design in terms of both new and remastered zones; Tons of options, great remixed music, and amazing value for money

The remastered stages are all very good; but it's a pity they outnumber the brand new ones

Still, even when stumbles a bit, it's only on little speedbumps in the road. For every issue I had, it didn't take long before I was enjoying myself again, eagerly anticipating what sort of wacky wonders the game would throw at me next.

Overall, Sonic Mania is the perfect callback to the series that Sonic needed. Fans of the series will remember their old gaming days, while newcomers will see what made Sonic such a great series years ago.

Sonic Mania is a brilliant return to form for the series' long-time away from traditional 2D games. Even if a few less remixed stages and more new zones would have been a nice change of pace, Sonic Mania's joyful level of ingenuity even in reimagining familiar sights is a testament to some of the...

Sonic Mania is a wonderful celebration of what's made Sonic so great in the past while also striving to push it forward. This isn't to say it's perfect – it has some of the problems of the previous games as well – but it's such a perfect encapsulation of old Sonic games, it's impressive.

If you like saints row, you have to get this game. The characters and humor are the best parts of the game. Gameplay gets repetitive but it's fun to play regardless. Definitely worth the 20 bucks.

If you like the humour in saints row 4, you will probably like this. Don't pay full price for it though. It is a fun diversion at best as the game has no real depth. Whereas saints row 4 became more fun due to how powerful you became, the attempt to add challenge here just makes it a game that is...
