    Love Colors but all of its issues got significantly worse with subsequent games barring Generations. It's like they took all the wrong lessons from this for Lost World and especially Forces. The Wisps in this made up for some of the lackluster level design in addition to most of those levels having some amazing new aesthetics and music tracks, something that is really lacking in the recent mainline games.

      ​@@DesignDoc Ah gotcha, yea honestly Colors and Forces feel eerily similair when it comes to their design of Modern Sonic levels in their lack of substance/challenge (the design of boss fights being pushovers too) but Colors has the edge over it because of it's level locations being truly unique with memorable setpieces and the Wisps adding some replayability (although I'm not really a fan that in a linear platformer your exploration of a level is locked away by a certain powerup, imagine if Sonic 3 had locked away areas and you need a certain elemental shield to unlock them ugh). The best thing for Sonic Team to do at this point would be Generations/Unleashed style level design with Colors sense of aesthetics.

      IIRC, last time we heard from Tails Doll was Aqua the dolphin, and then he ate the note...
      But more importantly, Tails Doll is a relic from the AVGN era of TH-cam reviewers. Back then it was cool to pretend you're a big deal, a guy that just have to play bad games, and fight characters from your bad games. Now? People try to find their own style, not just copy AVGN.

    It was always odd to me starting a few years back when fans started to "turn against" Colors. I went back to it recently myself and for me, these are my thoughts.
    I'm personally fine with the story direction they went with for this game. Unlike Lost World and Forces where it felt like there wasn't much of a clear direction, Colors just wants to be a Sonic and Tails VS Eggman story line with a bit more modern flare and that I'm fine with, and it never tries to be anything more than that. So I can get behind it.
    The script has certainly aged a lot. And I agree some jokes just go on far too long, it's more the small quick remarks though that add a bit more charm. I think an example for me in aquatic park boss, eggman announces a new sushi place, now with fish. And then tails after the boss says he goes to that join and goes "his cruelty knows no bounds". Those do still get a chuckle out of me that I didn't get with forces or lost world. It's the last sonic game I remember getting any kind of laugh with.
    There's issues with it but I think it's overall fine, more just later games apply these problems.
    As for the game play you don't get as much speed but I think I just personally have a more fun time in a normal play through through a whole zone than some of the other games, especially once all the wisps are added to spice things up. A bit more mario yes, But I prefer that to randomly getting hit by spikes or random bottemless pits that HD unleashed was plagued with on my revisit. And most of the design still holds up and I have just as much fun going through them back then as I do now.
    When the whole Unleashed Vs Colors debate comes in. I think you nailed it on the head. I think as well Colors is a much better game. While the day time levels as a whole are "better". They still are riddled with problems like its higher than normal difficulty and some stages like roof top run kind of out staying their welcome with how long they go on. But you have all the fluff on Unleashed, mainly the warehog that I will not go back to at all after beating the game and has aged horribly. Especially as a person who is a fan of character action games, the problems with those levels become worse and worse by the years. Meanwhile colors is one gameplay style that is far more consistently good throughout the whole adventure.
    Yes you get bigger highs in unelashed, but they are much shorter. Colors may not get the same highs but the quality is higher across the whole adventure.
    I close this off with this.
    I can only recommend Unleashed to the seasoned sonic fan, I think that game is too punishing for a newcomer and they have to sit through so much fluff to get to the REAL part of the game.
    Colors, I can recommend to anyone. You don't need to be a fan of the franchise to enjoy this one. You can enjoy it as a platformer and not just a sonic game. And there are not many games in the franchise I can say that I can do that with. And I think that says it all.

      I respectfully disagree with the assessment that Unleashed daytime stages are too difficult, in my eyes the Unleashed daytime levels has the perfect difficulty curve for a Sonic game, the first few or three stages are pretty easy and they teach you the mechanics and level traps very well and also to learn to react to things on time, then the middle stages are gradually ramping up the challenges but in a fair way for you until the final two stages let go of the training wheels and test your abilities and everything you learned from the previous stages. It's great and it saved the game from being a mindless "hold boost to win" experience. Colors on the other hand is too easy and the difficulty curve is almost non existant, with stages feeling inconsistent in the challenges, a lot more automation than Unleashed and also repetitive, uninspired 2D blocky platforming. The Wisps don't do enough to spice up the experience and can sometimes even break up the pace (cube and hover). It also has the most underwhelming final stage and final boss I've ever seen in a mainline Sonic game.
      Speaking of story, the story in Unleashed had a great balance in serious adventure and comedic levity while Colors story or writing I should say goes way too much into the lighthearted, comedic territory for me to take anything in it seriously. While the Adventure era games story can lean too far into being dark/edgy Colors story goes too far in the other direction of being too jovial. Unleashed story was better in plot, writing and characterization of Sonic and co and it had a better balance of dark and lightheartedness.
      But that's just my opinion

Or do you mean like in the story of Colors being inconsistent between an adventure or a medicore sitcom for toddlers? Also the Unleashed daytime stages had the perfect difficulty curve, the first stages were easy and became more challenging but gradually and it felt satisfying being good at the mechanics.

      If you're gonna go the mile to put in a story between the gameplay make it worthwile, not just half ass it and then put in self aware jokes to laugh it away, it just comes off as flip floppy, insecure writing. Lost World's story gets criticized heavily for these reasons but I'm like ''uhh yea Colors story is exactly like that and people loved it so of course they're gonna do the same for the next games''.

Think like, find this character, collect a certain number of rings, run to an area within a time limit, stuff like that.
      I would also make it that there's maybe 10 ish missions per each world, maybe around 7 worlds. But, you only need to do 6 to get to the next world.
      Give Sonic the Spin Dash, Homing Attack, and a Wall Run that you activate like in Spiderman 2 on Gamecube, but operates like Lost World.

      Actually (and take this with a grain of salt) Colors was originally going to be Gens for the Wii but was scrapped for what ever reason and refitted into Colors to fill in for 2010. It makes sense given Gens is a celebration of Sonic, development started in 2009 (The Level Poll), and that Sonic Team was split into 2 teams since 2006. Seriously, look at the main platforming games made by ST in the Wii Era, there is a distinctive pattern in console availability.

    So, Colors story time. i don't know if anyone will care, but i hope someone will find it amusing.
    Back when i got this game, i played all the way to planet wisp, without knowing the jumps with tricks required you to press A _multiple_ times. i usually did it just once, and most of the time it lets you succeed while not letting you get the best reward. In planet wisp, i finally got to a giant pit that required one of those jumps, in a level with rocket, and i was rightly stumped for about an hour. i would keep dying and dying.
    Eventually i figured it out, but i also learned that you can get one rocket to the top of the level, activate it, grab a second one, activate it after falling with the first, and just barely make the jump without ever touching the platform
