![]() SEGA picking up these types of people, people who understand what makes the games so great, just shows how committed they were to making an authentic experience for the fans.Ĭhemical Planet Zone still has the best musicīut enough about all that, how is the game? In short, it’s everything you’d expect from classic sonic, but so much more. The intro animation was created by Tyson Hesse, who started out drawing Sonic fan art on DeviantArt using a pen pressure sensitivity tablet, who was then picked up by Archie Comics to do work for Sonic the Comic. One of the major developers for the game, Christian Whitehead, started out by modding games such as Sonic CD to make them more playable. Without even playing the game we can see the effort gone into making this game a true love letter to the fans. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles blasting through stages in a beautifully animated intro reminiscent of classic Sonic in the 90s. Leaving the game for a few seconds loads up an animated intro for the game, which is one of the most endearing starts I’ve ever seen for any game. The title of Sonic Mania loads in classic fashion, with Sonic center screen waving his finger as he had done in the Mega Drive days of before. Sonic Mania was one of the most anticipated games of the year for me.Īs soon as the game starts you’re greeted with that old familiar “SEGA” chime and I already had a huge smile on my face. A true sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles (and not that Sonic 4 garbage) made by people who truly understood Sonic games. Luckily it seems SEGA are onto this, and while we have Sonic Forces coming (made by the same team that made Colours and Generations), they decided to give us an absolute treat of a game that hit me, and no doubt hundreds of other gamers, right in the Nostalgia spot. Even his earlier titles like Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 have aged poorly and as a whole, are pretty bad games. I’ve always been a Sonic fan, but even I know that the series has not fared well in the 3D world, with some exceptions like Colours and Generations, its been pretty bad. While Mario enjoyed a plethora of games in the 3D world with a constant high rating, Sonics games have always been mediocre at best, and then recently Sonic Boom and the Rise of Lyric drove the entire franchise into the ground that even Sonics most loyal fans couldn’t defend. It’s no secret that Sonics transition into the 3D world wasn’t the rousing success that his rival Mario had. The true sequel after 23 years of waiting, and totally worth it
