Veterans and purists will no doubt miss the option to play a more “hardcore” variant closer to the original experience, but these changes will certainly give the game a wider appeal for today’s audience. You’re now given unlimited lives and Tails sometimes acts like a “shield” who saves you from certain doom when you fall.
SONIC COLORS PRO UPGRADE
It’s visually very impressive and appealing as well, thanks to an HD boost for the graphics and levels that are designed in such a way that they’re fun to visually explore for little secrets and tricks.Ĭompared to the Wii version, Sonic Colours didn’t just get an audiovisual upgrade but also received a few gameplay tweaks, mainly to make the game more accessible and forgiving. Instead, expect to alternate between classic 2D levels and 3D sections – as the two seamlessly mesh together in the game’s levels. Thanks to the Wisps, Sonic can drill, or blast through the air, and what’s nice is that all these abilities feel like extensions of Sonic’s natural knack for traversal rather than elements that mess with the core formula of a good Sonic game. Of course this isn’t a big narrative-driven experience, but the setup does allow for the introduction of the Wisps – whose colors give Sonic temporary special abilities. The core premise is the same though, and features Eggman’s latest plot – a plan to lure a colorful alien race into a trap with an intergalactic theme park in space.
To a degree that’s not surprising either, as the original Nintendo version was also well-received at the time, and it has aged well thanks to a few audiovisual and gameplay updates. Obviously this hurt our expectations as well, but luckily our skepticism quickly made way for enjoyment, as this is one of the best Sonic games in years.
We actually didn’t start playtesting until the game’s wide release, and at that point we had seen people’s negative feedback on the Switch version, which suffered from serious technical issues at launch. We tested Sonic Colour: Ultimate on a PlayStation 4 Pro. Now, to help mark the hedgehog’s 30th anniversary, a new and enhanced version of Sonic Colours is out – a game that originally launched in 2010 for the Wii. As far as gaming mascots go, Sonic is one of the most iconic ones out there, and since Sega stopped making consoles he’s branched out to nearly every platform out there.
