Dear Reader:
Nintendo Power - Sonic Colors review details, another confirmation of Mii play
The following snippets were taken from Nintendo Power…
“After years of soul-crushing disappointment, fans may find it hard to believe. Yet I’m here to tell you that Sonic Colors is a fantastic game. Not just a step in the right direction, but an unequivocal success. In fact, it’s the best entry in the series since the Blue Blur’s 16-bit heyday.
“The game often switches back and forth between a 3D, behind-the-hedgehog perspective and a 2D side-scrolling perspective. The latter accounts for about 70% of play time, and most of it requires measured, careful platforming rather than always rushing through environments as quickly as possible.”
“And to encourage that spirit of discovery, five red tokens are scattered throught each act. Some are cleverly hidden, while others put your proficiency with a given power-up to the test. Collecting the tokens unlocks new bonus stages in the virtual-reality-inspired Eggman’s Sonic Simulator, which you can play cooperatively with a friend. Completing those stages, in turn, earns you a Chaos Emerald and once you gather all seven gems… well, that’s a secret.”
“Though I hesitate to mention it, the tokens also unlock one of the most horrifying sights in the history of video games - an alternate character model that places the head of your Mii on Sonic’s body.”
