Sonic colors is a bit of an odd game. At the time, this was the video game that sonic fans desperately needed after critics slammed unleashed and Black Knight, and people seemed to be pretty happy with this one when it came out, myself included. However, I have realized that I don't really come back to this one as often as I do with other sonic games, and I always wondered why that is. The level themes are all very unique, the soundtrack is great, and the gameplay is the boost formula we all know and love, so why is it that this game didn't stick with me the way most other sonic games didn't? I guess while the gameplay is cool, most of the level design revolves around controlling sonic in a 2D space, and I've always been more of a fan of the 3D setpieces sonic runs around instead of the 2D segments in modern sonic levels. That being said, this game is still very solid, so I don't think you should sleep on it especially if you like sonic. Just sits in a very weird personal purgatory of mine.
