    Pre-ordered this when it was announced, and it arrived a day early and in perfect condition! As for the game itself, for $50 it was a LOT better than I had expected! Sonic Generations has been upgraded a LOT for modern consoles and the new Shadow Generations game was surprisingly fun to play, despite having its frustrating moments.

    Been quite a while since I enjoyed a Sonic game this much. Shadow's capaign is a fun challenge with a lot of fun in-game collectables. The only thing bringing it down is the mostly same story and gameplay of the original Sonic Generations, but I don't it too much.

    Sonic X Shadow Generation Reviews

    Sonic X Shadow Generation is an incredible game, the switch between Sonic and Shadow gameplay is very different and makes them feel like its own separate game. The Shadow story is also very dark compared to Sonic with some beautiful looking levels escalates the gameplay experience to new heights.

    Really fun game that's a mix of nostalgic and new. This is a remaster of the original Sonic Generations with a new campaign added as well. The new additions are very polished and the older remastered portions are just as good as you remember. My only complaint is with the shipping. The item arrived in an envelope and the top half of the case was crushed and in pieces. I had to exchange it for another copy at my local Best Buy.

    A fun anniversary celebration

    Sonic Generations: I'd been wanting to play the original Generations for a while and see how this 13 year old anniversary title held up. I was usually more comfortable playing the modern Sonic levels but both were fun and had their own charm. There are plenty of branching paths that reward skilled gameplay and there's plenty of replay value. The only real downside was the story being fairly thin, which I knew going in. Otherwise, a fun time. Shadow Generations: I was excited to see what new ideas were explored in Shadow generations after a 13 year gap from the original and it did not disappoint. From the hub world being an explorable 3D space with plenty of collectibles and fun challenges, to the new levels taking advantage of the innovations and experimentation of other titles. As much as I enjoyed the OG title, I think I'll return to Shadow generations even more often. The story this go around was very heartfelt and gave Shadow some nice personal closure. Here's hoping future installments are just as fun. Would happily recommend

    I have played sonic generations in the past and have completed it on multiple platforms. It is still a great game to replay, especially with the better frame rate and other slight improvements. The shadow portion of the game takes this game to a different level. Its phenomenal! If you remember playing SA2 (Battle), the moment you start his campaign, it will definitely bring you back and show you how much this improved! Level redesign and its challenges are intriguing. This is definitely for any fans of Sonic/Shadow. You will absolutely love it.

    Shattering any and all expectations, Shadow Generations skates itself near flawlessly into the Hall of Sonic Greats. With fast-paced gameplay, multiple routes and challenges for secrets and goodies, along with a emotionally charged storyline both honors and celebrates Shadow's character and the rich history of the Sonic franchise as whole, this title is worthy of a pick up and multiple playthroughs by old and new Sonic fans alike!

    2 excellent games in one excellent package. Remastered version of Sonic Generations plays just as good as it did back then, if you liked it then you’ll probably like it now. It has some unnecessary dialogue changes but nothing game ruining. The Shadow Generations portion definitely the main star of the show, with a new story and fun mechanics that aren’t in original generations. Both games are pretty short but run great and packed with a lot of fun. Definitely recommend if you need your Sonic fix.
