Playing as his Modern version essentially puts the game in Sonic Rush mode: Sonic gains a boost bar and homing attack, with the balance weighted more on all-out speed than building momentum. Picking up Classic Sonic and racing through Green Hill Zone is as appealing now as it was 20 years ago: with just a spin attack, jump and spin dash, this is recognisably the Sonic of old. There's no sense of movement or progression with these scenes they feel more like placeholders than part of a polished product.īut let's not overplay the importance of cut scenes in a Sonic game - many will be glad they received less attention than usual. What's most disappointing is how the story is told: whereas the HD versions get fully rendered cut scenes, 3DS owners are left with talking character portraits, text boxes and the occasional portrait box that shakes or moves.

One unfortunate side effect is that the two timelines collide, bringing Classic and Modern Sonic, Tails and Eggman together. The story behind Sonic Generations is standard fare: Dr Eggman has discovered a new monster - the 'Time Eater' - and wants to use it to destroy the world.
