text: I've been playing Sonic Heroes. I want to sue Sega for their false advertising in Sonic Generations, this game is fucking atrocious.
  Sonic Heroes is so thoroughly mediocre that it remains as the one mainline Sonic game I have not been able to finish. This is counting 2k6.
  I think he means that because the Sonic Heroes level in Generations is good, it implies that Sonic Heroes itself is good.
  I wasn't a huge fan of the Heroes level in Generations. Way, waaaaaay too many opportunities to hurl yourself into a watery grave. I honestly wouldn't have minded a few invisible walls there.
  I still haven't finished Episode 2, but lemme just say this - the Metal Sonic race was fucking impossible. Until I thought to roll up with Tails and boom, first attempt, done. D:
  I am still curious if it's doable without doing the combination move - a few times I got out the final gate first and he just accelerated past me for the win.
  I've seen a run where it was way, waaaaaay too many opportunities to run across the top of the water and own the level:
  In the mail from Ireland on its way to me. Sonic Triple Trouble and Sonic Drift 2 for the Sega Master System.
  
  And the bugs in Online Mode that make it crash on entering, cause it to drop back to the title screen, fail to save scores that you spent hours trying to achieve, randomly erase scores that were previously saved, etc. Also the bug where the final boss is an unplayable mess, but that one affected consoles too...
  Edit: I S-ranked that stupid Rouge mission, by the way. It's much less likely to crash if you avoid doing homing attacks and boosting, and kill as few of the robots as possible.
  The fact that it can run at 60fps. At least for the 2D sections, the console version at 30fps compared to the PC version at 60fps is night and day.
  I've had the decent PC for a couple years now, but Generations is the first time I've ever really noticed the difference between 30 and 60 fps. It just runs a whole lot better on PC than it does on either console.
  That said, it does have a few negatives to it! The Online mode is thoroughly borked, I can't get it working nowadays at all. And for some reason, the internal copy of Sonic 1 was removed. So the overall package is weaker on PC, but the core gameplay plays better.
  It's really a shame, because the online mode is what keeps me coming back. I haven't run into any major crashing bugs myself, but it's still pretty finicky.
  I don't know why they included Sonic 1 in the console version anyway. It's available on 360, PS3 and PC as a digital download, so you can buy it if you want it, and with the PC version of Generations constantly going on sale for <=$15, you'll still come out ahead.
  Anyway, hello thread! I was pleasantly surprised at how fun Sonic Generations was (thank you Steam Sale)! Are there other Sonic games as fun as this one?
  Modern? I think the consensus is probably not, but Sonic Colors is fun if you've got a Wii and the daytime bits of Unleashed are good as long as you don't mind the werehog and other unnecessary crap.
  Oh, there's lots of mixed feelings about Sonic 4 too, so try a demo first. Some people are fine with the physics, some people are driven crazy by them.
  Sonic Unleashed is half the Modern style, but much faster & (imo) harder to play well. The other half is super dull. Get it on 360 or PS3, not Wii!
  Sonic Colours is fantastic, though Wii Exclusive. It's much slower than Generations, but involves a lot of cool powerup gimmicks and some great level design.
