This game is an amazing value for $20! I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. It’s the classic 2D gameplay with modern visuals. There’s a ton of bosses, and many are challenging. It’s a relatively short game, but it offers solid replay value.

Sonic Superstars is an exhilarating return of classic Sonic gameplay. Enjoy the choice of 4 characters plus local co-op. New emerald powers are mostly fun, but thankfully optional for those who want a traditional experience. Fairly easy game until the last boss(es). Good for those with friends who come over or siblings.

Mediocre at best. Awful music, terrible boss fights, wonky controls... graphics are alright and some of the levels are kind of fun, but overall disappointing.

Sonic Superstars captures the classic side-scrolling feel while adding fresh visuals and new abilities. It’s colorful, fast, and a good mix of nostalgia and modern gameplay. A solid pick for fans of the old-school Sonic games.

Maybe it’s just me, but I did have a difficult time getting past one boss in particular. Thankfully, there’s no life counter, so I was able to keep playing from the same point without getting a game over. It’s a nice touch to be able to play through the game with multiple characters, so there is replay value. If you’re a Sonic fan (young or old), then it’s worth your time.

The hype lives up so much!! It is so fun and amazing to play. I enjoyed playing as Sonic, Amy, Tails, and Knuckles so much and how unique they are. Sega outdid themselves with this! With how good Sonic Frontiers and Sonic Superstars, Sonic is in a great place.

The game has a beautiful art style and fun levels. The mini games/bonus levels are great. I like how the chaos emeralds can actually be used during gameplay rather than just being a simple completionist collectable.

Fun Modern Sonic, Frustrating Multiplayer Camera

A lot of great things mixed with some odd and frustrating functions. Playing with friends is chaotic since the camera constantly changes who the main player is, causes other players to “revive” offscreen and wait to drop back in. Tons to collect in each level and loads of bonus stages

Super fun game if you're a fan of 2D Sonic. My son loves playing in co-op mode. I feel that 2 players is the sweet spot as three and four players can get a bit chaotic. Good level of challenge without being overly frustrating.

The game was quite enjoyable. There were some cons to it(like a mixed soundtrack and the unnecessary long cutscenes for bosses), but I enjoyed the way the physics of the game worked along with the abilities of the Chaos Emeralds. Don’t know if it’s worth the 65 dollar( with taxes) price, but it is quite an enjoyable game.

It's a fun game for young and older kids. Mine are 5&7 and they love it. Difficulty isn't too hard for them compared to some other Sonic games.
