Generations
You know what they say, sometimes, you have to go back to your past. It’s the past that’s kept Sonic in the hearts of many for so long, even as his recent adventures haven’t been the best they could be. In 2011, SEGA released Sonic Generations to show how far their mascot had come, and as a celebration of 20 years of going fast.
Generations, when all is said and done, is probably the best recent game in the series. Controls may not always work, and the framerate can chug, but overall it’s a fun title. But there’s something just really jarring about watching the two Sonics in cutscenes and promos. Instead of one of those “before/after” pics, it’s like seeing the Bizarro version of the character. Fat, Classic Sonic looks weird standing and conversing with the noodle-limbed Modern version. Not a deal breaker, but still off-putting.
