Message: [QUOTE="Somnia, post: 252736, member: 26523"] People don't like the writing or the emphasis on 2D for the boost formula. I think a lot of the criticisms are overblown personally but it was mostly praised at the time by outsiders who already didn't really care that much for Sonic. Remember, within the Sonic fandom there are people who love games like Shadow, 06 and Unleashed which are pretty universally panned by the general audience. For us, Sonic wasn't in much of a rough spot, so Sonic Colors was more of a "return to form" for people who hasn't seemed to like a Sonic game in ages at that point. Of course I do adore it. I think it's music is fantastic, it has 2 of the best vocal themes in a franchise full of S tier vocal themes. Its level design is really fun, with wisps having a ton of fun intended and unintended uses for skips and being largely ignorable if you aren't someone who really cares to stop playing as Sonic doing Sonic things. While the writing isn't great, I think it is easily the strongest of the Ken Pontac era (not saying much ig) and I love the theme park setting. Strong and unique level aesthetics and a shortish run time make it a real treat to replay for me. I also just have a very personal history with the game so it has a lot of sentimental value.
