Sonic Generations [Collector's Edition] - Boxed - PS3

Sonic Generations is a fast-paced action platformer in the long-running Sonic the Hedgehog series. As part of Sega's 20th anniversary celebration of the character, it revisits the story of the entire series with famous stages from all the major titles of the last 20 years. The game is divided into three "eras", each with three stages, each taken from a different game, ranging from the original Sonic the Hedgehog to Sonic Colors, including plenty of highs and lows in between.

Each stage in the game comes in two variants, or "Acts". Act 1 of every stage is played with Classic Sonic, whose only abilities are running, spin jump and spindash. Act 1 stages are always side-scrolling platform stages, similar to the classic 2D titles. In Act 2, on the other hand, you play as Modern Sonic, who loses the spindash but gains a homing attack and the ability to dash forward at extremely high speed. Act 2 stages switch between 2D and 3D platforming throughout the game. Both Sonics can earn and equip a variety of abilities, such as faster stopping or new types of shields.

Each era includes a one-on-one battle against one of Sonic's rivals and culminates in a redesigned version of a classic boss fight. Clearing stages also unlocks a large number of challenge stages centred around specific side characters or gimmicks. Every main stage also contains a number of collectible Red Star Rings to find. Collecting red rings and completing challenges grants access to new and original music, as well as new and original concept art from the series' history. More
