Technically my third entry of the whole franchise, Sonic Generations is a pleasant throwback to both 2D and 3D generations of Sonic the Hedgehog. The 3DS version however features more 2D levels even from the 3D stages than the console version, and I can confirm this because I witnessed the console version elsewhere.
Nonetheless, I could still see notable differences between both kinds of levels, although they were barely different in regards to available moves and tactics. Because I am not common with the 3D generation yet, I felt more at home with the classic 2D levels such as Green Hill and Casino Zone, and I was satisfied with the boss fights as well as the length.
Although it's a short experience, it's designed in such a way that it encourages you to get higher scores on each challenge, plus there are also special missions, a versus mode and a few other extra's to tackle on.
Sonic Generations is both a pleasant entry and a reminder for myself to discover at the very least the other Sonic titles worth playing, like Sonic 3, CD and Adventure. I also beat the console version a few days later, and that one's much better than the 3DS version regarding graphics, frame rate and entertainment. I would have to give that version an 8.0 instead!
