This game is what made so many of the problems with the franchise as well as the fanbase. Things like toxic positivity and over obsessed on hating any 2000's related sonic game. Seriously, I even see it in this comment section. You can't say why you don't like colors without people feeling mortified and offended. And these same people love to belittle anyone who likes games like Heroes, 06, Unleashed or the story book games. They also hate it when people show ANY criticism on any of the 2010's games that we're apparently supposed to love and worship like a religion. I already didn't like colors back when it first came out, now I can't stand it. It's truly the most Overrated Sonic game of All time. I bet I just offended a lot of Sonic fans, but I literally don't care.
I was at EB games once and my options were unleashed, black knight, secret rings, and colors, I ended up choosing colors along with new super mario bros wii. I regret ever passing over black knight or unleashed for colors, but NSMBW was fun
Thank you! I've never understood why people praise Colours so much, like everyone is allowed their opinion, but I cannot fathom why people put this up there with Unleashed, Generations, and the Adventure games. I even enjoyed 06 more because at least 06 is so janky it kinda circles back around to being at least somewhat fun, Colours is just bad and I honestly thought I was the only person who thought that, nice to know I'm not crazy, lol.
".........people put this up there with Unleashed" I remember people HATING Sonic Unleashed for years after it came out. I guess one of the eternal challengers game developers will always have is that how people feel about a game on release, how they feel about a game a couple years later, and how they feel about it a decade or more later aren't going to be the same. Judging audience reaction can be near impossible in that context.
I wouldnt put colors THAT low, my least favorite mainline sonic game is still forces because i can hardly think of even 3 things i like about that game
@@lordx7013 potential doesnt count if said potential wasn’t met, and the music is subjective, i personally found most of it annoying due to the synth they kept using in so many songs
@@jayceallen6530depends, there has been a couple of times when said potential was met, such as infinite giving Sonic an ass Whooping About music, don't deny that at least Infinite's theme was the peak music in forces
@@RLGlitchGaming one part of me wants to say that your opinion is invalid (because colors is my favorite sonic game gameplay wise), but the other wants me to respect your opinion.
Playing for the first time in dolhpin, i was having a lot of fun with the first two worlds, despite the horrendous control, to quitting in the third world because of the atrocius level design.
Sonic '06 is better than Sonic Colors. Sonic '06 is fun, it doesn't have jokes every 5 seconds that make me want to die, and it has a really cool story.
Other than the story, I don't agree with this video at all. In fact this video just feels like a rant that just bashes the people who made the game instead of an actual review with real criticism. Meh.
Welp there goes my childhood. But, I can see why people hate this game. At this point the game has been RIPPED TO SHREDS. It's just sad seeing my childhood game going out this way.
Sonic Frontiers: [watches Tails and Amy die, still cracks a smile] Everything dies, Knuckles ol’ pal. Let’s go show Baldy McNosehair what we’re made of! Werehog Frontiers: [watches Tails and Amy die, breaks down in grief and anger] No!! Tails!!! Amy!!!! They’re all gone!!!!! How can we stop him now? He might go after the planet itself next!! Knuckles!!! We have no time to waste!!!! We’ve got to escape!!!!! Now!!!!!!
Its a shame of tge direction what sonics gone into sonic was only good in 1991 to 2009 after that nah he was better when he was shonen and had serious stories
Oh sure! We're going to ignore the HORRIBLE controls and level design those games had, and it's basically the main reason everyone hates the dark era games. Can we just stop painting the Dark Era as good when it clearly isn't?
I actually love colors and in my opinion i think most of the generations fans are biased against it because they complain "oh sonic colors is so short" and so is generations or they say "oh sonic colors has soooooo much 2D sections" so does generations i just feel like some of u sonic fans like defend the game that u know has some of the same flaws as the game that u hate or dont like and its really kinda annoying like it makes me feel like some of yall just want to hold a singular button (the boost button) to win i mean at least colors level design doesnt feel rushed and just going straight forward when generations 3d sections in the modern levels is just holding the same button same with unleashed day time stages like just so biased man
@@Soniciscool91 When people say Sonic Colors is short, they're talking about the levels themselves, and how little anything of interest actually happens throughout them. Comparing the straightforward 3D sections of Sonic Colors to Sonic Unleashed let alone Sonic Generations, is like comparing apples to 5 grams of uranium. You're aren't avoiding Geysers, pillars, ice sickles. You aren't sliding under walls, making tight turns, having actual platforming. I haven't even brought up Seaside Palace. The 2D sections are even worse when it comes to Sonic Colors, a lack of flow is a common issue, parts where you have to just straight up wait. There's even less nuance when it comes to having multiple paths in Sonic Colors. Sonic Colors has a fundamentally different design philosophy
It's a nice thing that some peoples finally understood that Unleashed was Always a good game and not Colors, it reminds me some of Pokémon, fans loves Gen4 and screams that they're the best games but Gen4 games are just mediocre, and Gen5 is mostly hated by a lot of peoples for now reason but in the reality they're the best pokémon games, it's the same thing here with Sonic Unleashed and Colors and ironically, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Colors Ultimate are mostly hated because they're bad remasters/remake but in Fact the og games weren't good at all, This video is pretty much straight to the point but actually it's a nice thing, they're point that I already figured out myself and some of yours that I never finds out but with i agree on
I'd say platinum was really good but the Gen 5 games were easily better, diamond and pearl themselves were straight up trash for a number of reasons. Also don't like that Gen 4 made pretty much actual pokegods similar to the old playground rumors. But i guess they would have reached that point sooner or later anyway. Anyway i just bought colors and think it is terrible, not really a sonic fan but had a few of the games over the years. I saw they announced generations remake, another one of the games people call the best. I really liked the spark the electric jester games and seeing that sonic was the inspiration i thought the newer games are more like it. So far played adventure 2 way back in the day which i liked but thought heroes was trash and skipped everything afterwards until mania which i also liked. Frontiers is another one i just despise, loaded it up so many times but just get bored to death after 10 minutes and turn it off , never even made it past the first island. Not sure if i should try out generations at this point.
@@brotbrotsen1100 the kind of dude that I personally don't like, who just stop playing video game series only because of one game, that's what I like to call a simple minded
@@GodyN64 I litterally said that i tried multiple of them and liked the minority. Not my fault that sonic team doesn't manage to make a good game in the last decade. Even if it would be "just one game" they aren't entitled to my trust and I'm not a fanboy so why would i waste money for a product that doesn't meet my standards.
This game is by far one of my least favorite Sonic games. The levels are abhorrent, they barely get themselves off the ground because most of them don't attempt to expand on a concept or do anything of value. Most of these levels include the player doing a myriad of boring things like running in a straight line for long periods of time, 2D sections with absolutely no depth, long quickstep sections where you dodge the same lasers without even being able to knock robots into them to blow them up early, drifting sections where you aren't at any risk of danger, sections of spectacle where you don't do anything whatsoever, elevators, waiting for lasers to move out the way, just deadass holding right and doing nothing else because you got the Nega Wisp, and playing as hover. The story is even worse. I know Sonic isn't known for his stories but, if you're going to have a story (which I think you should, especially in a series with a fandom who really cares about it since its an important part of Sonic's identity. Its what makes him stand out) it should damn well be a good one. With all the problem's previous stories have, they're at very least entertaining. I deeply love the plots of most if not all previous Sonic games, but this game is the black sheep, nay, the dead corpse in the living room. I don't need to tell you all the many, many problems with the story of the game, as that message is no longer a dead horse, but one thats been destroyed at an atomic level. Games like a 4/10, I hate it, and all I want is to hate it more. Also, the red star rings suck and I hate them >:[
The levels aren't that bad tbh, and they do get off the ground and expand on concepts usually in act 2 really and they do add stuff of value, new platforming stuff, maybe new underwater gameplay, etc. Not really most of them don't include that, the 2D sections have depth too and good platforming and parts where you can speed on through too. The quickstep sections aren't that long and are fun honestly. You are in risk of danger of still falling and dying though. Those rare sections of spectacle are where most of the running in a straight line stuff comes from and that is not most of the game at all. Waiting for obstacles to move is fine in a platformer. Nah with Nega Wisp you have to move around and destroy stuff not just go right you also have to be careful as it can be hard to control, and hover has you hover around too not just going right. Nah the story is not that bad. It can be a simple story too though. This one was entertaining in it's own way too tbh. Nah this one isn't so bad, and it's story isn't even bad like prior games. It's story really isn't that bad or has that many problems. It really isn't that bad though. How do they suck? You get Red Rings through exploration and replaying stages, it adds replayability.
@@mrgreenmario64 I mean, think about it. 06 actually seemed much more ambitious. It had epic camera angles during gameplay, amazing graphics, models and cutscenes (kinda, I'm not counting crap lip syncing), the best final boss in the series, and the characters and story are great, plus the voice acting is still to be topped in the series, the characters are super expressive, the level design is awesome, most the mechanics are spot on, plus there's awesome writing and line delivery and whatever flaws and jokes/humor there are, you actually laugh at (Eggman's ejection chair getting hit by a piece of metal, the floating box glitch, etc.). Meanwhile, everything about Colors just seems...safe, unambitious, and lazy as fuck. The level design and platforming is so generic, the story, characters and writing seem like they were going to be added to a preschool book then a Sonic game, the aesthetics and setpeices are just so bland and uncreative, the backgrounds are FUCKING JPEGS, the character expression is literally just them waving their arms around and using their eyelids, the jokes make you want to kill yourself, the mechanics are so lazy and could have been parts of Sonic's already established moveset, and the flaws just make you say, "JESUS, THIS IS ABSOLUTE SHIT!!!" Anyways, I'm done with my little rant.
Graphics? The graphics in 06 look lifeless. Even Twilight Princess, a came that came around the same time as Sonic 06, has aged so much better stylistically.
I totally agree with you on this video, Sonic colours is a trash game that started the whole meta era nonsense. I rather play 06 than that Crap Colours. Worst game in the series in my opinion.
@@Legoreaper2007 So your take on 06 is going to change my mind about the game. Nothing is going to change the fact that Sonic Colours is trash. You can take your respect and shove it where the sun don't shine.....
Ain't gonna respect som- Wow it's not like we can't have our own opinion sorry some of us actually likes Sonic 06 Also 06 isn't the worst game in existence Snake 3 anyone?
This this this this THIS! Colors ruined everything about Sonic. Asteroid Coaster act 1 is decent and the final boss actually tests your knowledge of the mechanics, but that is it. That's all this game has going for it. The writing is atrocious and ruined Sonic, Tails, and Eggman so much that it's not repairable in future releases, retconing their character arcs and/or personalities and turning them into walking jokes. Critics complained about Sonic's friends not being likeable in all the Sonic 06 reviews, well congrats critics, they're all now not even a shell of their former self, they're much worse. I've never been a fan of the boost gameplay, so I won't talk about the controls, but the level design is freakin dumb. People can complain about Sonic Adventure 2's hallway's all they want, but at least I was progressing fast through them and at least most of them are short and didn't have stop and go level design. And let's not forget Sonic Colors awful automated sections in levels. Moving forward while quickstepping side to side on a straight line for 3 minutes is not thrilling gameplay. I hate how wisps have become a staple of this franchise. I hate how Sonic yells, CUBE! and ROCKET! and LASER!, just shut up! It's annoying. A swear, this whole game treats it's players like they're brain dead and it's so insulting. The only reason this game was successful at release was because it was the exact opposite of early 2000's Sonic which is a huge slap in the face to those fans. Sonic Adventure 2, a vastly better game, used to be universally praised by the fanbase until around the time Colors was announced and now Adventure 2 is regarded as trash even though their was more thought and care put into it than most everything that came after it. Not saying Adventure 2 is some masterpiece of a game, but when the alternative direction became Colors onward, nope, the Sonic franchise is dead. Really, I'd like to see them just reboot this whole franchise. Keep all the same characters, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Big, Team Chaotix, Silver, Eggman, etc. and make a new canon with competent writers who understand Sonic's universe. New character arcs, new stories. Maybe give them slight redesigns that aren't cringy like Boom Sonic characters (even though I like the flipping the egg idea for Eggman). You can still have stuff like Rings and Chaos Emeralds. They don't necessarily need to go back to Sonic's roots, but I'd like to see gameplay that flows better. Gotta say, I kind of like the ideas that the Sonic Storm fan game brought to the table. The point being you're constantly on the move. I'm just so disappointed in Sonic Team. Hard to believe Takashi Iizuka who made Adventure 2 also had major involvement with Colors. They're like polar opposites.
I agree with this video completely. Also great work on going into much great detail on this video than what I can't do, including the Number 5 segment. Also I hate to promote myself but is it ok if I link my Top 5 Reasons why Sonic colors sucks video here? I don't want to do that without your permission cuz it feels rude.
Ok, fine. Almost every Sonic game from that point on would copy Colors. But you can't blame colors for that. Blame Sonic Team and Sega for even allowing those things to return. Colors is just a good game that unfortunately gets a lot of hate for the direction it turned out to be.
I think people need to realize the time sonic colors was released in.The criticism sonic 06 and unleashed resulted sonic team to play it safe and listen to the fans opinions.Also some points people make about this game is overblown and exaggerated.this game isn't perfect,but ignoring all the highlights and nitpicking is just unfair.(people are ignoring problems of Unleashed)Also most of the 2d sections are fast of you make them fast.(in the main ACTS).the filler levels are what slows the pace of the game down.Play the main acts and i hope you can see the game in a much different light than before.
Luckily, there exist 2 mods that get rid of the filler stages and improve the pace of the game(Restore the original Acts) - Sonic Colors DX - Sonic Colors: True Colors(I found about this one in a comment in a video I can't remember.)
@@JoseGregorioValeroVillarroel better than the meta-era for sure but I think the writter of adventure 2 and black knight would be perfect as the main writter
I find that the Sonic games have just gone downhill after Unleashed. The music is still good and all, but the games themselves, the voice acting and such... Eh.
2000% agree!!!! Sonic went from cool to trying to be cool. The jokes he tries to make is cringe, the voice just doesn't fit and the game budget has gone downhill after Sonic unleashed. RIP Sonic. At least Mania was alright.
@@Itz_Kwame unleashed was hella polished for a 2008 game, there still isnt really a sonic game that has exceeded that polish, i think that the original commenter makes a point
They literally made Sonic like a Mario and illumination series 2010 till now 2023 ever since. Also I can't believe Roger's been Sonic's voice actor for a decade?! Like Ryan and Jason where way better right for Sonic, and neither had a decade run of being his correct voice....
I actually liked the QTEs in Sonic Unleashed. Sure they were harsh at times, but were rewarding when you completed them and sometimes punish you for not getting them right. I found it insulting in Sonic Colors where you just 'A' over and over.
objectively? Not at all, it's a broken mess with a bad story and horrible level design and is horrible rushed. Colors has good gameplay and a decent silly story.
While I do enjoy Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, I agree that the writing for both make no sense and don’t get the Characters we loved. For me, I think Sonic Generations is better given the fact that Sonic Colors mostly recycles the same levels from previous acts out of laziness. It should have had at least 2 acts and a boss fight like the DS port which had better writing. Generations only had two acts, and on the 3DS version had Special Stages. My favorite Sonic game is Adventure 2 since that game got me into Sonic, and in 100% honesty, that was the best representation for Sonic for me since everyone’s well written here which is hard to pull off since there are no comic reliefs.
I've played them both for the first time this last week. I think Forces is a terrible game but it has the benefit of being short and very easy, so it's over in just one or two sessions. I found the controls in Forces to be worse but the level design of Colors to be horrendous. Both games are terrible, but if I had to suffer another play through of either game it would probably be Forces.
Man, I can't express how annoying this topic is now! Nor I can't express how annoyed I am by just seeing how fucking unfairly hated Colors is nowadays! No, Colors didn't ruin the franchise, Sonic Team did by learning the wrong things about Colors. Just because Colors isn't like the other boost games(barring Forces) does NOT make it bad. But I do agree, the story is a HUGE step down from Unleashed and SATBK, but let's not act like the 2000s stories were good or as good as you're making them look like. The Sonic Adventure duology is filled with contrived nonsense, Heroes is incredibly surface level to the point of hilarity, 06 is flat out broken, and Secret Rings has loads of uninteresting filler the distracts from the overall plot. The only truly great stories in the 2000s Era are Unleashed and Black Knight. And as someone who really likes those games, I won't deny that they have flaws *that Colors does not.* Just because is not what you like, doesn't make Colors a bad game.
I just need to write this because just reading these comments makes me unbelievably annoyed at how much unfair hate Colors gets. No, Colors did not ruin Sonic, Sonic Team did by learning the wrong things about Colors. I replayed Colors recently and it remains a top 3 Sonic game, and this is coming from someone who has Unleashed as his #1 favourite piece of media ever created. Just because Colors isnt as speedy as Unleashed doesnt make it bad, hell, Sonic 1 is still a really good game and some levels are way slower than others, but so what? What matters is that the levels are well designed, and Colors absolutely delivers there. "But the story-" news flash, this is a series of platformers, AKA, games where gameplay comes first and foremost. I wont deny that Colors' story is a step down compared to Unleashed and Black Knight but lets not act like the 2000s stories where good. SA1 and 2 are filled with contrived nonsense, Heroes is incredibly surface level to the point of hilarity, 06 is flat out Broken, and Secret Rings has loads of uninteresting filler that distracts from the overall plot. The only truly great stories (not Sonic stories just stories) in the series are Unleashed and Black Knight. And besides, those games, while I really like, have flaws that Colors just doesnt have. Just because its not what you like, doesnt make Colors a bad game
4 words COLORS DIDN’T RUIN THE FRANCHISE. I hate this narrative that colors is the worse thing to have happened to the franchise just because it’s not like unleashed. Sure it’s not the best but it isn’t a dumpster fire like you make it out to be. At the time sonic needed this the previous story heady games were failing so sega only saw one option go back to basics, sonic fighting against eggman, no other playable characters, Eldridge god boss fight, no deep narrative. Just a simple game. It did save the franchise at the time you don’t have to like it, but you don’t have to spread lies about the game.
The problem isn't that Colors is a bad game (because it's not), but that many of the problems that plagued later Sonic games (Lost Worlds, Forces, etc) started with Colors.
Yeah, at the time, colours was seen as the best sonic game since heroes. Unleashed received a ton of negative backlash and rightly so. Both games, in my opinion, are average. I guess time has changed opinion. But at the time, colours was seen as a return to form. Then, followed by generations. Sonic was back, again.
That's the point, slowpoke. You have to use quickstep to get to the left fast. If you can't handle the speed of Sonic games, you probably shouldn't play them.
Sonic colors sucks so much I beat it in a day an forgot about it but Sonic unleashed to me is the last great sonic game, that game didn’t fail only a few people hated the werehog but I loved the hell out of the werehog, unleashed had everything, great story, great gameplay and amazing final ending everything sonic fans want
Slippery controls that are arguably worse than Heroes, tedious medal hunting AND over reliance of a mechanic that is the antithesis of what a Sonic game should be is what Sonic fans want? No. Just no.
7:21 There are set pieces that you do interact with like grinding on licorice, platforming on construction sites, climbing up a giant ship, and jumping across japanese buildings.
But, comparing the setpieces to other games, they are just absolute crap! Take a look at Sonic 06, which probably had the best setpieces in the series. You grinded on vines, grabbed onto vines and timed your release from said vine to go higher, jumping from lighthouses and rocks to other rocks and lighthouses in Wave Ocean, running through and on burning or exploding buildings and grinding on twisted rails in Crisis City, running though temples in Dusty Desert, smashing through stained glass in ruined castles in Kingdom Valley, etc. Those are so much cooler then grinding on licorice, jumping across buildings, platforming on construction sites, or even climbing up a giant ship.
@@theall-usechannel8916 Ahh yes jumping across buildings. LAME. Jumping from rocks though. Now that's cool. Good thing you bounce asteroids in Colors. And personally I like platforming across planets more than in a temple. And I think Black Holes are more exciting than fires or tornadoes. Not to mention dodging giant missles, avoiding being crushed, climbing a tower of food before grinding back down, fighting a giant ferris wheel, Running away from a chaser then having it explode, and riding rollercoasters.
@@bigfanofsb653 Jumping from buildings is lame because: 1. The buildings ur talking about aren't that high. You could probably jump from one of those and survive 2. It's been repeated SO MANY TIMES in games by now it's cliché. Black holes are epic? nah. 1. You already know the result: you're gonna die. End of story. 2. Us, on earth, do not have to worry about black holes. Meanwhile, fires, explosions, burning buildings and others are real threats that could injure someone on earth, and you don't know if you'll die or survive by running away. The missiles are made of candy. I would want to throw myself into one of those. Avoiding being crushed is not only easy in Colors, but in video games it's so cliché. I could always ride a rollercoaster. Jumping from rocky pillars is interesting because we can already jump from buildings, it's called parkour. Jumping from rocky pillars on the beach is new. Jumping from planets is no use because there's a superior game to Sonic Colors. It's called Super Mario Galaxy and it's sequel. I could literally climb a tower of food if MrBeast decided to do a challenge of that. Running away from a chaser and having it explode was already done in Unleashed. Fighting a giant ferris wheel is boring in comparison to fighting a literal god of time. Bouncing from asteroids is the only thing that is somewhat cool on there, but it's not in the player's control, there's no danger, it's just a bunch of springs. All-Use-Channel out.
@The All-Use Channel Why is almost being crush boring because it's a cliche but a stock dessert level having a temple and a stock jungle have swingable vines are cool. Also jumping from rocks isn't new because IT WAS IN SONIC ADVENTURE IN 1998. Half of these setpieces are stock or from adventure. Also most of the time you don't die if you don't press the jump button so please just shut up with saying "it's more deadly". You may of had a point with the fire having more stakes if you didn't have to go out of your way to hit the fire. Also the missles have a metal shell. Also why are you comparing a 1st boss to a final boss. I guess metal dog sounds too lame compared to Cha... I mean Solaris. Because 06 is much more original with Emerald Coast Dessert Level Ice Cap Westopolis but red Volcano Level That train scene for old movies Jungle Level And Metal Base Level. Good thing your out because you're making me lose brain cell.
@@bigfanofsb653 I mean, you have to pay attention with ur jumps. And the levels are very original. Play the damn game. Or don't and keep whining and bitching and defending Colors in every way possible. I'm not even saying it's ALL bad. Some of the wisps, asteroid coaster, and the final boss are super fun. Ceberus is also cooler then a giant, derpy ferris wheel. And yes, I get the effects and stuff was reused. It's an anniversary game. And no, Crisis city isn't "wEsToPoLiS bUt rEd, it's a burning apocalypse with literal DEMONS, exploding buildings, lava, broken down cars, and not a single person in sight. And running away from a tornado is so fun. Dusty desert isn't a stock desert, it has a cool pyramid. White Acropolis is a cool hidden Eggman base. Aquatic base is an amazing advanced underwater base. Radical Train is a fun and original train level, where the stakes are high. You're running to save Elise from an EXPLODING TRAIN. Flame Core is the base of Satan, and it's tense and challenging. Tropical Forest and it's assets are cool and original.
I don't mind the wisps I know is like mario but thay at least tried something im pretty sure sonic rangers going to be know my wisps and again I want you to at least say something great.

I mean sonic colors can't be that bad i would not say sonic colors is the modern sonic game but what about sonic lost world and what about sonic forces sonic colors At least have better control and better story than sonic forces but I don't think sonic forces is the worst sonic game i would love to see at least say something great about this game.
It's funny to read that "can't be that bad", I used to talk about Sonic with my best friend who isn't a Sonic fan, I really dislike Colors, I think it's the worst 3D Sonic I've ever played, he went "it can't be that bad", until one day he decided to play it and came out hating the game much more than I did
@@traviscunningham7062Ok, what? Comparing an exploration-based Adventure game with a literal *PLATFORMER?* No. Just no. Sorry, but you can't compare two games that are from completly different categories.
Personally I think Colors is at least better than 1 and CD, and definitely most of the 2010 games, but despite how much I agree, a few things should be clarified and some points feel over exaggerated
This game is what made so many of the problems with the franchise as well as the fanbase.
Things like toxic positivity and over obsessed on hating any 2000's related sonic game. Seriously, I even see it in this comment section.
You can't say why you don't like colors without people feeling mortified and offended.
And these same people love to belittle anyone who likes games like Heroes, 06, Unleashed or the story book games.
They also hate it when people show ANY criticism on any of the 2010's games that we're apparently supposed to love and worship like a religion. I already didn't like colors back when it first came out, now I can't stand it.
It's truly the most Overrated Sonic game of All time. I bet I just offended a lot of Sonic fans, but I literally don't care.
The story in generations is just as flat if not more flat than this game.
More. Way more.
At least the characters aren't shoving unfunny jokes at us every 20 seconds.(Until they randomly decide to do so at the end of the game)

Sonic Fans switching up opinions faster than Sonic himself
Switching up? It was ALWAYS bad. lol
@@RLGlitchGaming I'm talking about other fans
I actually love colors and in my opinion i think most of the generations fans are biased against it because they complain "oh sonic colors is so short" and so is generations or they say "oh sonic colors has soooooo much 2D sections" so does generations i just feel like some of u sonic fans like defend the game that u know has some of the same flaws as the game that u hate or dont like and its really kinda annoying like it makes me feel like some of yall just want to hold a singular button (the boost button) to win i mean at least colors level design doesnt feel rushed and just going straight forward when generations 3d sections in the modern levels is just holding the same button same with unleashed day time stages like just so biased man
@@Soniciscool91 When people say Sonic Colors is short, they're talking about the levels themselves, and how little anything of interest actually happens throughout them. Comparing the straightforward 3D sections of Sonic Colors to Sonic Unleashed let alone Sonic Generations, is like comparing apples to 5 grams of uranium. You're aren't avoiding Geysers, pillars, ice sickles. You aren't sliding under walls, making tight turns, having actual platforming. I haven't even brought up Seaside Palace. The 2D sections are even worse when it comes to Sonic Colors, a lack of flow is a common issue, parts where you have to just straight up wait. There's even less nuance when it comes to having multiple paths in Sonic Colors. Sonic Colors has a fundamentally different design philosophy
I get more enjoyment from lying down in my bed than i do playing Sonic Colors
It's a nice thing that some peoples finally understood that Unleashed was Always a good game and not Colors, it reminds me some of Pokémon, fans loves Gen4 and screams that they're the best games but Gen4 games are just mediocre, and Gen5 is mostly hated by a lot of peoples for now reason but in the reality they're the best pokémon games, it's the same thing here with Sonic Unleashed and Colors and ironically, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Colors Ultimate are mostly hated because they're bad remasters/remake but in Fact the og games weren't good at all, This video is pretty much straight to the point but actually it's a nice thing, they're point that I already figured out myself and some of yours that I never finds out but with i agree on
I'd say platinum was really good but the Gen 5 games were easily better, diamond and pearl themselves were straight up trash for a number of reasons. Also don't like that Gen 4 made pretty much actual pokegods similar to the old playground rumors. But i guess they would have reached that point sooner or later anyway.
Anyway i just bought colors and think it is terrible, not really a sonic fan but had a few of the games over the years. I saw they announced generations remake, another one of the games people call the best. I really liked the spark the electric jester games and seeing that sonic was the inspiration i thought the newer games are more like it.
So far played adventure 2 way back in the day which i liked but thought heroes was trash and skipped everything afterwards until mania which i also liked. Frontiers is another one i just despise, loaded it up so many times but just get bored to death after 10 minutes and turn it off , never even made it past the first island. Not sure if i should try out generations at this point.

This game is by far one of my least favorite Sonic games. The levels are abhorrent, they barely get themselves off the ground because most of them don't attempt to expand on a concept or do anything of value. Most of these levels include the player doing a myriad of boring things like running in a straight line for long periods of time, 2D sections with absolutely no depth, long quickstep sections where you dodge the same lasers without even being able to knock robots into them to blow them up early, drifting sections where you aren't at any risk of danger, sections of spectacle where you don't do anything whatsoever, elevators, waiting for lasers to move out the way, just deadass holding right and doing nothing else because you got the Nega Wisp, and playing as hover. The story is even worse. I know Sonic isn't known for his stories but, if you're going to have a story (which I think you should, especially in a series with a fandom who really cares about it since its an important part of Sonic's identity. Its what makes him stand out) it should damn well be a good one. With all the problem's previous stories have, they're at very least entertaining. I deeply love the plots of most if not all previous Sonic games, but this game is the black sheep, nay, the dead corpse in the living room. I don't need to tell you all the many, many problems with the story of the game, as that message is no longer a dead horse, but one thats been destroyed at an atomic level.
Games like a 4/10, I hate it, and all I want is to hate it more.
Also, the red star rings suck and I hate them >:[
The levels aren't that bad tbh, and they do get off the ground and expand on concepts usually in act 2 really and they do add stuff of value, new platforming stuff, maybe new underwater gameplay, etc. Not really most of them don't include that, the 2D sections have depth too and good platforming and parts where you can speed on through too. The quickstep sections aren't that long and are fun honestly. You are in risk of danger of still falling and dying though. Those rare sections of spectacle are where most of the running in a straight line stuff comes from and that is not most of the game at all. Waiting for obstacles to move is fine in a platformer. Nah with Nega Wisp you have to move around and destroy stuff not just go right you also have to be careful as it can be hard to control, and hover has you hover around too not just going right. Nah the story is not that bad. It can be a simple story too though. This one was entertaining in it's own way too tbh. Nah this one isn't so bad, and it's story isn't even bad like prior games. It's story really isn't that bad or has that many problems. It really isn't that bad though.
How do they suck? You get Red Rings through exploration and replaying stages, it adds replayability.
I wouldn't say this game is as bad as Forces, Boom or Free Riders, but it's definitely still mid as fuck.
06 is actually better then colors
@@theall-usechannel8916 yeah ur actually right lol
@@mrgreenmario64 I mean, think about it. 06 actually seemed much more ambitious. It had epic camera angles during gameplay, amazing graphics, models and cutscenes (kinda, I'm not counting crap lip syncing), the best final boss in the series, and the characters and story are great, plus the voice acting is still to be topped in the series, the characters are super expressive, the level design is awesome, most the mechanics are spot on, plus there's awesome writing and line delivery and whatever flaws and jokes/humor there are, you actually laugh at (Eggman's ejection chair getting hit by a piece of metal, the floating box glitch, etc.). Meanwhile, everything about Colors just seems...safe, unambitious, and lazy as fuck. The level design and platforming is so generic, the story, characters and writing seem like they were going to be added to a preschool book then a Sonic game, the aesthetics and setpeices are just so bland and uncreative, the backgrounds are FUCKING JPEGS, the character expression is literally just them waving their arms around and using their eyelids, the jokes make you want to kill yourself, the mechanics are so lazy and could have been parts of Sonic's already established moveset, and the flaws just make you say, "JESUS, THIS IS ABSOLUTE SHIT!!!" Anyways, I'm done with my little rant.
What about the DS version?
Graphics? The graphics in 06 look lifeless. Even Twilight Princess, a came that came around the same time as Sonic 06, has aged so much better stylistically.
I totally agree with you on this video, Sonic colours is a trash game that started the whole meta era nonsense. I rather play 06 than that Crap Colours. Worst game in the series in my opinion.

Sonic Forces?
I mean, Colors gets more fun if you get rid of the filler stages(Play Colors DX and you'll see what I'm talking about)
@@JoseGregorioValeroVillarroel I actually liked Sonic Forces, I know I'm probably the only person.
This this this this THIS!
Colors ruined everything about Sonic. Asteroid Coaster act 1 is decent and the final boss actually tests your knowledge of the mechanics, but that is it. That's all this game has going for it. The writing is atrocious and ruined Sonic, Tails, and Eggman so much that it's not repairable in future releases, retconing their character arcs and/or personalities and turning them into walking jokes. Critics complained about Sonic's friends not being likeable in all the Sonic 06 reviews, well congrats critics, they're all now not even a shell of their former self, they're much worse.
I've never been a fan of the boost gameplay, so I won't talk about the controls, but the level design is freakin dumb. People can complain about Sonic Adventure 2's hallway's all they want, but at least I was progressing fast through them and at least most of them are short and didn't have stop and go level design. And let's not forget Sonic Colors awful automated sections in levels. Moving forward while quickstepping side to side on a straight line for 3 minutes is not thrilling gameplay.
I hate how wisps have become a staple of this franchise. I hate how Sonic yells, CUBE! and ROCKET! and LASER!, just shut up! It's annoying.
A swear, this whole game treats it's players like they're brain dead and it's so insulting. The only reason this game was successful at release was because it was the exact opposite of early 2000's Sonic which is a huge slap in the face to those fans.
Sonic Adventure 2, a vastly better game, used to be universally praised by the fanbase until around the time Colors was announced and now Adventure 2 is regarded as trash even though their was more thought and care put into it than most everything that came after it. Not saying Adventure 2 is some masterpiece of a game, but when the alternative direction became Colors onward, nope, the Sonic franchise is dead.
Really, I'd like to see them just reboot this whole franchise. Keep all the same characters, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Big, Team Chaotix, Silver, Eggman, etc. and make a new canon with competent writers who understand Sonic's universe. New character arcs, new stories. Maybe give them slight redesigns that aren't cringy like Boom Sonic characters (even though I like the flipping the egg idea for Eggman). You can still have stuff like Rings and Chaos Emeralds.
They don't necessarily need to go back to Sonic's roots, but I'd like to see gameplay that flows better. Gotta say, I kind of like the ideas that the Sonic Storm fan game brought to the table. The point being you're constantly on the move.
I'm just so disappointed in Sonic Team. Hard to believe Takashi Iizuka who made Adventure 2 also had major involvement with Colors. They're like polar opposites.
I agree with this video completely. Also great work on going into much great detail on this video than what I can't do, including the Number 5 segment. Also I hate to promote myself but is it ok if I link my Top 5 Reasons why Sonic colors sucks video here? I don't want to do that without your permission cuz it feels rude.

@@RLGlitchGaming Jeez, that's cold
Ok, fine. Almost every Sonic game from that point on would copy Colors. But you can't blame colors for that. Blame Sonic Team and Sega for even allowing those things to return. Colors is just a good game that unfortunately gets a lot of hate for the direction it turned out to be.
I agree to some degree with the video but who the hell mashes jump in a double jump game?
I think people need to realize the time sonic colors was released in.The criticism sonic 06 and unleashed resulted sonic team to play it safe and listen to the fans opinions.Also some points people make about this game is overblown and exaggerated.this game isn't perfect,but ignoring all the highlights and nitpicking is just unfair.(people are ignoring problems of Unleashed)Also most of the 2d sections are fast of you make them fast.(in the main ACTS).the filler levels are what slows the pace of the game down.Play the main acts and i hope you can see the game in a much different light than before.
Luckily, there exist 2 mods that get rid of the filler stages and improve the pace of the game(Restore the original Acts)
- Sonic Colors DX
- Sonic Colors: True Colors(I found about this one in a comment in a video I can't remember.)

2000% agree!!!! Sonic went from cool to trying to be cool. The jokes he tries to make is cringe, the voice just doesn't fit and the game budget has gone downhill after Sonic unleashed. RIP Sonic. At least Mania was alright.

I actually liked the QTEs in Sonic Unleashed. Sure they were harsh at times, but were rewarding when you completed them and sometimes punish you for not getting them right. I found it insulting in Sonic Colors where you just 'A' over and over.
So....is Sonic 06 better than Sonic Colors
Yes. Without question.
No, definitely not
06 is better, yes.
objectively? Not at all, it's a broken mess with a bad story and horrible level design and is horrible rushed. Colors has good gameplay and a decent silly story.
@@Jdudec367 I wouldn't say Sonic 06 was better, but Sonic Team at least tried to put effort in the game. Colors feels like a baby's first Sonic game.
I bet most of the people that claim to love this game haven’t tried 100% it. Like the Egg Shuttle makes me want to die. It’s so boring.
While I do enjoy Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations, I agree that the writing for both make no sense and don’t get the Characters we loved. For me, I think Sonic Generations is better given the fact that Sonic Colors mostly recycles the same levels from previous acts out of laziness. It should have had at least 2 acts and a boss fight like the DS port which had better writing. Generations only had two acts, and on the 3DS version had Special Stages. My favorite Sonic game is Adventure 2 since that game got me into Sonic, and in 100% honesty, that was the best representation for Sonic for me since everyone’s well written here which is hard to pull off since there are no comic reliefs.
Zelda Skyward Sword is better than Sonic Colors. Also Groose>>>>>Meta Era Sonic.
@@traviscunningham7062they did not mention skyward sword once in this video or this comment
Just got to say guys Just do u think forces is better than colors
Might have to stick around to find out. 😉
I've played them both for the first time this last week. I think Forces is a terrible game but it has the benefit of being short and very easy, so it's over in just one or two sessions. I found the controls in Forces to be worse but the level design of Colors to be horrendous. Both games are terrible, but if I had to suffer another play through of either game it would probably be Forces.
@@ramonalavigne9220 lmao you have severe brain damage if you’d rather play the dog water that is forces over colors
Man, I can't express how annoying this topic is now! Nor I can't express how annoyed I am by just seeing how fucking unfairly hated Colors is nowadays! No, Colors didn't ruin the franchise, Sonic Team did by learning the wrong things about Colors. Just because Colors isn't like the other boost games(barring Forces) does NOT make it bad. But I do agree, the story is a HUGE step down from Unleashed and SATBK, but let's not act like the 2000s stories were good or as good as you're making them look like. The Sonic Adventure duology is filled with contrived nonsense, Heroes is incredibly surface level to the point of hilarity, 06 is flat out broken, and Secret Rings has loads of uninteresting filler the distracts from the overall plot. The only truly great stories in the 2000s Era are Unleashed and Black Knight. And as someone who really likes those games, I won't deny that they have flaws *that Colors does not.* Just because is not what you like, doesn't make Colors a bad game.
I just need to write this because just reading these comments makes me unbelievably annoyed at how much unfair hate Colors gets. No, Colors did not ruin Sonic, Sonic Team did by learning the wrong things about Colors. I replayed Colors recently and it remains a top 3 Sonic game, and this is coming from someone who has Unleashed as his #1 favourite piece of media ever created. Just because Colors isnt as speedy as Unleashed doesnt make it bad, hell, Sonic 1 is still a really good game and some levels are way slower than others, but so what? What matters is that the levels are well designed, and Colors absolutely delivers there. "But the story-" news flash, this is a series of platformers, AKA, games where gameplay comes first and foremost. I wont deny that Colors' story is a step down compared to Unleashed and Black Knight but lets not act like the 2000s stories where good. SA1 and 2 are filled with contrived nonsense, Heroes is incredibly surface level to the point of hilarity, 06 is flat out Broken, and Secret Rings has loads of uninteresting filler that distracts from the overall plot. The only truly great stories (not Sonic stories just stories) in the series are Unleashed and Black Knight. And besides, those games, while I really like, have flaws that Colors just doesnt have. Just because its not what you like, doesnt make Colors a bad game
Fuck yeah! Finally someone says it!
😒💢why have to Play as blue rat I want play as shadow the hedgehog
4 words COLORS DIDN’T RUIN THE FRANCHISE. I hate this narrative that colors is the worse thing to have happened to the franchise just because it’s not like unleashed. Sure it’s not the best but it isn’t a dumpster fire like you make it out to be. At the time sonic needed this the previous story heady games were failing so sega only saw one option go back to basics, sonic fighting against eggman, no other playable characters, Eldridge god boss fight, no deep narrative. Just a simple game. It did save the franchise at the time you don’t have to like it, but you don’t have to spread lies about the game.
that's five words my man
The problem isn't that Colors is a bad game (because it's not), but that many of the problems that plagued later Sonic games (Lost Worlds, Forces, etc) started with Colors.
I agree man, I think Sonic colors is a fun game with good platforming, decent gimmicks, and a great ost.
yea, it isn't a bad game in general, but it's a bad SONIC game.
Yeah, at the time, colours was seen as the best sonic game since heroes. Unleashed received a ton of negative backlash and rightly so. Both games, in my opinion, are average. I guess time has changed opinion. But at the time, colours was seen as a return to form. Then, followed by generations. Sonic was back, again.
I am not the first to prefer 06 to Colors.I might be the first to actually like both at once and still have the opinion
I actually prefer Skyward Sword over Sonic Colors.
4:35 Have you played that game. I can barely move to the left without mashing quickstep.
That's the point, slowpoke. You have to use quickstep to get to the left fast. If you can't handle the speed of Sonic games, you probably shouldn't play them.
Wonder why that "point" isn't I the other games. I can move just fine in all of the other boost games. Why is moving so slow in only this one.
I really wish I didn’t buy the ultimate edition
Sonic colors sucks so much I beat it in a day an forgot about it but Sonic unleashed to me is the last great sonic game, that game didn’t fail only a few people hated the werehog but I loved the hell out of the werehog, unleashed had everything, great story, great gameplay and amazing final ending everything sonic fans want
Generations is solid though. Better controls and design than Colors.
Slippery controls that are arguably worse than Heroes, tedious medal hunting AND over reliance of a mechanic that is the antithesis of what a Sonic game should be is what Sonic fans want? No. Just no.
Its like AoStH, only that show was actually pretty funny sometimes.
You forgot super sonic has been reduced to Novelty, just like a certain sword i know...😢 otherwise great video
7:21 There are set pieces that you do interact with like grinding on licorice, platforming on construction sites, climbing up a giant ship, and jumping across japanese buildings.
But, comparing the setpieces to other games, they are just absolute crap! Take a look at Sonic 06, which probably had the best setpieces in the series. You grinded on vines, grabbed onto vines and timed your release from said vine to go higher, jumping from lighthouses and rocks to other rocks and lighthouses in Wave Ocean, running through and on burning or exploding buildings and grinding on twisted rails in Crisis City, running though temples in Dusty Desert, smashing through stained glass in ruined castles in Kingdom Valley, etc. Those are so much cooler then grinding on licorice, jumping across buildings, platforming on construction sites, or even climbing up a giant ship.
@@theall-usechannel8916 Ahh yes jumping across buildings. LAME. Jumping from rocks though. Now that's cool. Good thing you bounce asteroids in Colors. And personally I like platforming across planets more than in a temple. And I think Black Holes are more exciting than fires or tornadoes. Not to mention dodging giant missles, avoiding being crushed, climbing a tower of food before grinding back down, fighting a giant ferris wheel, Running away from a chaser then having it explode, and riding rollercoasters.
@@bigfanofsb653 Jumping from buildings is lame because:
1. The buildings ur talking about aren't that high. You could probably jump from one of those and survive
2. It's been repeated SO MANY TIMES in games by now it's cliché.
Black holes are epic? nah.
1. You already know the result: you're gonna die. End of story.
2. Us, on earth, do not have to worry about black holes. Meanwhile, fires, explosions, burning buildings and others are real threats that could injure someone on earth, and you don't know if you'll die or survive by running away.
The missiles are made of candy. I would want to throw myself into one of those.
Avoiding being crushed is not only easy in Colors, but in video games it's so cliché.
I could always ride a rollercoaster.
Jumping from rocky pillars is interesting because we can already jump from buildings, it's called parkour. Jumping from rocky pillars on the beach is new.
Jumping from planets is no use because there's a superior game to Sonic Colors. It's called Super Mario Galaxy and it's sequel.
I could literally climb a tower of food if MrBeast decided to do a challenge of that.
Running away from a chaser and having it explode was already done in Unleashed.
Fighting a giant ferris wheel is boring in comparison to fighting a literal god of time.
Bouncing from asteroids is the only thing that is somewhat cool on there, but it's not in the player's control, there's no danger, it's just a bunch of springs.
All-Use-Channel out.
@The All-Use Channel Why is almost being crush boring because it's a cliche but a stock dessert level having a temple and a stock jungle have swingable vines are cool. Also jumping from rocks isn't new because IT WAS IN SONIC ADVENTURE IN 1998. Half of these setpieces are stock or from adventure. Also most of the time you don't die if you don't press the jump button so please just shut up with saying "it's more deadly". You may of had a point with the fire having more stakes if you didn't have to go out of your way to hit the fire. Also the missles have a metal shell. Also why are you comparing a 1st boss to a final boss. I guess metal dog sounds too lame compared to Cha... I mean Solaris.
Because 06 is much more original with
Emerald Coast
Dessert Level
Ice Cap
Westopolis but red
Volcano Level
That train scene for old movies
Jungle Level
And Metal Base Level.
Good thing your out because you're making me lose brain cell.
@@bigfanofsb653 I mean, you have to pay attention with ur jumps.

Or don't and keep whining and bitching and defending Colors in every way possible.
I'm not even saying it's ALL bad.
Some of the wisps, asteroid coaster, and the final boss are super fun.
Ceberus is also cooler then a giant, derpy ferris wheel.
And yes, I get the effects and stuff was reused. It's an anniversary game.
And no, Crisis city isn't "wEsToPoLiS bUt rEd, it's a burning apocalypse with literal DEMONS, exploding buildings, lava, broken down cars, and not a single person in sight. And running away from a tornado is so fun.
Dusty desert isn't a stock desert, it has a cool pyramid.
White Acropolis is a cool hidden Eggman base.
Aquatic base is an amazing advanced underwater base.
Radical Train is a fun and original train level, where the stakes are high. You're running to save Elise from an EXPLODING TRAIN.
Flame Core is the base of Satan, and it's tense and challenging.
Tropical Forest and it's assets are cool and original.

@@blackshyxv5555 I had to scrap the bottom hard to find them for Sonic 06. It would be extremely difficult to find them for this game. lol
Probably my least favourite sonic game. It is trash.
I rather play Mario
playing through a majority of the sonic games and this one could not have ended soon enough, i genuinely hated it with my entire being
this game looks like a Mario galaxy rip off
@@BlueNinja-pw1ytSonic Lost World?
colors is phenomenal sybau
I actually found the game fun personally
10:29 yes, it was.
No, it wasn't
@@Legoreaper2007It’s far better than people make it out to be.
@@bunsmasterbunny I mean I have played it and can confirm its not.
@@Legoreaper2007And, you’re wrong.
@@bunsmasterbunny then you didn't play the game.
Replaying the game, not sure if it's because it's the remaster but it controls like @#$
Yup, it's the remaster, because the game didn't control bad for me.

5:02 have you played a platformer before. You always have to do that.
He's complaining about the fucking double jump.
@@theall-usechannel8916 This happens in games with double jumps too. When a game has a double jump my first instinct isn't to mash jump button for max height.
@@bigfanofsb653 It's my instinct, and it's a lot of other's instincts.
@@theall-usechannel8916 Well your not getting max height in 99% of games with double jumps. Try double jumping at the peak of your jump because obviously. Can't blame the game for that.
@@bigfanofsb653 Exactly. It's stupid. And it brings me to say, WHY HAVE A DOUBLE JUMP IF YOU CAN REACH MAX HEIGHT BY HOLDING THE JUMP BUTTON ANYWAYS!!!!!

I mean sonic colors can't be that bad i would not say sonic colors is the modern sonic game but what about sonic lost world and what about sonic forces sonic colors At least have better control and better story than sonic forces but I don't think sonic forces is the worst sonic game i would love to see at least say something great about this game.
It's funny to read that "can't be that bad", I used to talk about Sonic with my best friend who isn't a Sonic fan, I really dislike Colors, I think it's the worst 3D Sonic I've ever played, he went "it can't be that bad", until one day he decided to play it and came out hating the game much more than I did
@@vict01409 oof
8:02 that’s not colours’ fault
5 reasons why sonic colors is a good game and how it helped the sonic franchise. Do this next because its a good game.
So basically you just told him to change his opinion
Skyward Sword is better than Sonic Colors
@@traviscunningham7062 haven’t played it… but I for some reason agree
@@traviscunningham7062Ok, what? Comparing an exploration-based Adventure game with a literal *PLATFORMER?* No. Just no. Sorry, but you can't compare two games that are from completly different categories.
Personally I think Colors is at least better than 1 and CD, and definitely most of the 2010 games, but despite how much I agree, a few things should be clarified and some points feel over exaggerated
At least it isn't a mistake as bad as 06
Cliche comment 🤡
@@Keyblade_welder_13 missed the part where I was talking to you.

Just because you’re right doesn’t mean your wrong
Wow really?! This game ruined the series? Are you kidding me. Go away and play forces and 06 , the actual series ruiners
Colors didn't ruin the series, but many of the problems later games suffered from started with Colors.
@@the757general2 not really
@@the757general2 But that's not sonic colors fault.
