Fantastic review! Colors is truly iconic, especially it’s soundtrack. The song Reach for the Stars in this video was very well used, props to whoever put this together
I'm delighted that Sonic Colours got Remastered, especially for anyone who never got the chance to play the Game, it's without doubt 1 of my Favourite Sonic Games of all Time
Man, this takes me back. Was 16 when the original game came out. Fell in love with the game and the soundtrack back in the day. Definitely picking this one up!
No mention of the absolutley game breaking super often glitches and save game issues? i've heard of multiple people having their save games corrupt like 5 times in 1 sitting...
Is it just me that’s waiting for a sonic adventures type game to release? Those were the best sonic games by far and they’ve never really went that route again, which is pretty disappointing since sonic has so many great side characters to play as besides sonic
Play spark the electric jester 3 lakefeperd made it the guy who made sonic bts sonic ats and sonic chrono adventure also spark the electric jester 3 is 3D with adventure formula
PSA: If you're watching this and about to pre-order, please don't buy this game yet. For some reason every big gaming news site is completely ignoring how buggy and glitchy this remaster is, there are a ton of crashes and weird game/save data breaking bugs in this port on all systems, especially Switch. Look on Twitter, Reddit or anywhere else discussing the game and save your money for now!
@@Sonichronik it is buggy, pretty much everyone who played the PS4 version is reporting audio and visual glitches, some worse than others. Others are reporting glitches so bad that they corrupt the save data. The overall presentation has unfinished elements still. It may be patched day 1, but probably not fully.

Why would someone be put off for Sonic Colors Ultimate by Sonic 06? That was over 10 years ago, and who TF would remember Sonic 4? Why not remind ppl of current sonic games that aren't so dandy like Sonic Forces?
The review is saying that some people might not have played the Wii Version of Sonic Colors, because a bunch of poorly received Sonic games released at around that time such as Sonic 06/Sonic 4
@@ntk746 unleashed is my favorite sonic game but I'll give it a 9 because of sky scrapper scamper night egg man land didn't make me as mad but this game is a day 1 for me
Well, some cutscenes where done with CGI and they still look stunning especially for a WII original! Look at the CGI Cutscenes from Sonic 06 and Sonic Unleashed too.
Two notes: Wisps appear in main line sonic games after sonic colors "sonic forces" and "sonic lost world" Also I'd argue sonic gameplay isn't just about going as fast as the speed of light but momentum base gameplay which sonic colors doesn't actually have. Anyway! Great review
If they found a way to fix the werehog sections, or make them optional, that would be great. The Day stages deserve to be released for the garbage bin of history
Unleashed wasn't fair it has to be 7.5 generations overrated it has to be 5.5 sonic colors should be 9.5 that game so well sonic 3 & knuckles underrated should be 10 this game is the best sonic game ever without a dought it is the most seccessfull project sega released
It's disappointing to hear you can't switch off the new remixes, but it's great that the original tracks at least haven't been replaced completely. Now if we can just switch off that pesky flashing red screen whenever you're near a pit...
Sadly, the Switch version underperforms. The new version was made with a new engine that the Switch has huge difficulty supporting and they even had to downgrade the framerate on the Switch version from 60 to 30 FPS
It's looks 30 frames you are overly graphic hungry and forces sold the most on switch so the game on switch is in fact not a downgrade and the original game ran at 30 frames and sonic feels unnaturally at 60 frames
@@maplemiles3381 That's just your opinion that Sonic 'feels unnatural' at 60fps. This is not advertised as a port, but a remaster, so it's expected to be upgraded in many areas. This is a buggy botched release.
Introduces the "Wisps" Which separates this game from all mainline Sonic games past and present.. Yet they were in every mainline game going forward. Generations, Lost World, and Forces all had Wisps.
@@arthursemeghinigallo3336 Switch ver. But I've also heard of people who got it on PS4 running on PS5 and being rather buggy with unstable framerates, tho nowhere near as bad as on Switch :(
Nice review but can we please stop talking about sonic 06, that was literally 15 years ago now. I'm pretty sure the horse has been beaten to ashes at this point.
Sonic games are fun, but they are so short that it makes it pointless to even buy them, rather than rent them. They need to make one that has an online racing mode to give it better replayability value.
or, they should make a sonic game with reasonable replayability fit with a grand adventure to get immersed in. yanno, like what they used to make? Unleashed, Adventure games, hell even heroes lol.
It's longer if you explore for the red rings. It had the right idea for introducing level design to hide collectibles that entice you to explore and unlock optional levels.
Omg finally, I’ve seen so many people that hate sonic just cuz they like Mario, look, we can like both and not hate the other, and review fairly on all games Example: Nathaniel bandy
Hello, guy from the future here So yeah, you probably already know what's up with this game by now, if you don't... let me just that now Sonic 06 isn't the most buggy Sonic game out there
I think my main problem with the new Sonic games is that there is too much distraction in the detail of the background and Sonic himself is often very small on the screen.
Thank you for making an actual review and saying reasons why to get it instead of only focusing on the downsides and past failing to make it seam like the game is a horrible tragedy like sonic 06
if anyone is wondering why the score is actually lower than the original, it’s important to remember that ign actually got rid of the decimal review scores, so they don’t give out 8.5’s anymore

Right? the handheld counterpart would've added more meat to this "Ultimate" Remaster, similar to the Game Gear games on SADX.
How would that even be accomplished? It's a DS game with a different storyline and gameplay
The game would come out in 2023.
Agreed. Ultimate needed the Super Sonic level. the rest not so much
