I enjoyed so many of the levels in this game! If you could have one 2D Sonic stage become 3D, or one 3D Sonic stage become 2D, which stage would you want it to be?
"Mario and Sonic at the Vancouver Winter Olympics Games 2010 for the DS" was my first exposure the the sonic franchise and I'm proud of it It's a 10/10 game
I lost my shit when I got to play city escape. I grew up on sonic adventure 2 and used to play it on a GameCube when I was 3 not fully understanding how the gsme worked
It's been a decade since a Sonic game featured a complete set of original zone aesthetics - Sonic Colors being that game. Sega has been banking hard on nostalgia for that long.
I absolutely love this game! In fact it was even my first Sonic game. Just shows that when done right, even as a anniversary celebration, Sonic games can be so fun!
Well everyone that made this game left Sonic Team and work with Nintendo. They actually made Super Mario Odyssey, helped with Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and helped with Mario Kart 8's battle mode.
I mean, they did try again. That's what Sonic Forces is meant to be. Unfortunately they kinda screwed it up. You can make your own Original the Character Do nOT sTEAL though so that's neat.
ShadowSword 22 honestly surprised that when you save characters you didn't unlock them as playable characters especially since playing as other characters has been around since early Sonic
This was actually my very first game that I ever completed 100%. Not in terms of story, I’ve done that with many games, but I mean, every collectible, s-rank, red ring, etc. I feel so proud of that. I love this game
18:03 "...takes Sonic underground." Did you just slip in a Sonic Underground joke? Even if not, I'm now gonna go listen to that intro again. Thanks for the nostalgia.
My 5 favorite sonic games are: 1)Sonic adventure DX 2)Sonic generations 3)Sonic adventure 2 4)Sonic heroes 5)Sonic unleashed I know they're all 3D but that's how I've always enjoyed sonic.
Your friend is being an idiot. I used to think the same thing for YEARS until I sat down and actually tried them myself. Yes there are bad sonic games (Sonic Boom, 06, and Lost World suck imo) but most of them are actually very good. A lot of the shit talkers are actually just blindly trashing it. I bet they don't even know what is even in the games without looking it up! Sonic is awesome.
This is my all time favorite Sonic game. Everything is perfect, but I felt it was too short. Regardless, this is the only game I enjoyed so much that I did my first speedrun of the Spagonia level and achieved a great time which I then uploaded to youtube.
A very strong contender for my favorite Sonic game. I'll always have nostalgia for Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, and sonic 2, 3, and Mania are games I could play for breakfast every morning, Generations hits such a sweet spot with bringing back old stages, and seeing them all in HD is absolutely stunning.
Ultim8 Lifeform same! I respect that Sonics not for everyone but it gets old hearing people angrily berate a game for not being there thing. Way I see it games are supposed to be fun and it’s silly to get angry at each other for liking different things :)
Well even as a absolut noob. (I NEVER played any Sonic game, always was more a Nintendo fan) Sonic Generations (from what i got in the review) simply is a good game avoid cringy gimmicks and problems the modern Sonic sadly had more then enough and concentrate on the strong Points of what made Sonic good.
@@ssseee3ds463 Gimmicks itself aren't the issue maybe I should have made that more clear. What is important that these gimmicks are good. I'm happy for the fans if there come out more sonic games that are again good because despite all I still respect him and tge fact he was able to keep up with Mario for so long.
@@some_cartoonist there is a challenge mode in wich you get 30 seconds to get as far as you can in a stage and then upload your time online or compare with friends. You would get the trophy after completing and uploading your time but the thing was bugged and it would not allow you to finish the task bc of an error wich appeared because the game will try to compare your score with ALL of your friends in the friends list, even with those who never played the game and just bc they didnt have any data to compare you with the game will always get error.

As we await the future of the Blue Hedgehog, especially with the movie coming out and the “once a month announcements” that are happening this year, let’s see if the 2020s will help the franchise return to being a classic in the hearts of many gamers, or if it will continue to just be some barely passable games every year or two. Personally, even as someone who never really grew up with Sonic outside of the early GameCube games, I have some optimism that things can turn around. Only time will tell

Yet Another Let's Player dude the storybook games are canon because generation! Sonic mention the events of the secret ring in the game, they are platformers so its a main game Chaotix canon because the chaotix debut. Rivals is canon because of silver! The events of 06 erased in the end of the game so this technically the first time sonic meet silver. Also it’s a 2.5d platformer like rush so it’s a main game. Mania treats all the classic sonic games it’s dose not make the game gear games canon it’s just a love letter to the sonic fans. Same for sonic the fighter it’s just a love letter to the fanboys how the fuck a sonic game with 8 chaos emeralds is canon?
Less than a week until the Sonic Movie! Who is looking forward to that masterpiece? Edit: some people for some reason think I’m being serious about it being a masterpiece. It’s a joke.
Considering how the development of the movie was handled,and how they thought that that whole original design was going to go over well, they clearly have no idea of what the franchise is and what we expect from it. I see this as a attempted cash grab by people who have no idea what the fans of the franchise will do if they're threatened or mildly upset. Considering a studio shut down because of the redesign they're not getting that quick cash grab. While the new redesign might be one of my favorite designs ever for Sonic, as I love realistic designs of cartoon characters done right, I have very low hopes for this movie. This isn't going to be detective Pikachu I can say that much.
Boost Sonic actually debuted in Sonic Rush for the DS, but the boost gameplay we know today started with unleashed (Sonic Rush had a completely different homing attack and a trick system)
One of the things I loved the most about Sonic Generations was the possibility to choose your own soundtrack for each stage. For example, for the final boss, I chose Toxic Caves the first time. An odd combination, to say the least! XD
I'll admit that Sonic was iconic to me growing up. Even though I was born in the early 2000's, my first time playing Sonic was on the Gameboy and I loved it. My dad had this console when he was younger and he let me play it. I had a blast with it, although I never played through the whole game because I was an eight year that wasn't that good at video games. I know that the Sonic franchise has had quite a few bad games, but my experience with it has been pretty good! Then again, my second Sonic game was Sonic Colors on the Wii. I went nuts with that game and even played it with my best friend sometimes. Now that I'm on the internet, I found out that Sonic Colors is one of the better games. So I think I just never played any of the bad games. So yeah, this franchise has a close spot in my heart.
Sonic is my all time favorite franchise/character (the close second is Megaman). First time I played Generations I was impressed by everything, but in one of the challenges, when the Balloon Park song started playing (Balloon Park was one of the 2player mode stages in Sonic 3) I busted into tears, I used to play that stage with my uncle that passed away, and the remix was so beautifully done that my emotions were exploding. This game (and Sonic in general) means a lot to me. Great video, and perfect game! :D so hyped for the movie next week
I'm glad to see someone apprecieating Generations for how good it really is. Nowadays all you see is either hate from people who have never played it, or hate from the god awful fandom that can't decide on the Worst Game of the Month or something.
Not just one of my favourites of the 2010 era but even to Inspire me to create my own stories loosely based on this and some Kingdom Hearts elements as well (very long story unless your me from either 2010 or 2004 going backwards where I'm from). Still wished they could've develop the story here to say the very least and anyone else still thought the Time Eater was the Shadow Blot from Epic Mickey as a kid or a teen?
THANK YOU! I'm so tired of people disregarding this game because it's a tribute or some other nonsense. There is finaly a good review that gives this game justice. :)
This was the first game I ever completed. Mostly because I really wanted to unlock the all the songs (and my favorite songs were the last ones unlocked).
I adore this game! It's something amazing. I also love Super Sonic in this game, I just wish it didn't take all of your skill points. I worked hard to get those emeralds, I think I deserve to have that as an innate ability and still being able to mix and match skills.
The game I've completed over 10 times in a single month (not including online stuff (time attack and 30sec) as I didn't have xbox live) when I was little purely because I liked the game so much when I was little. (When I got it on steam recently I got 46/49 achievements in 18 hours when that 18 hours also includes me messing around with mods such as the Unleashed Project)
Sonic Generations is my favorite Sonic game of all time. I have the Xbox 360 version on Xbox One X, and the PC version, so I get the pros and cons of both main versions. I also have the 3DS version. Classic 2D platforming and 3D boost gameplay in one game is the best Sonic experience for me.
@@MercilessRalph231 Awesome! It's always rare to see and find fans of the BN series for some reason, BN it's my favorite Megaman series tbh it always has been.
9:16 "It hasn't been easy to put Sonic in 3D" Don't even start with that shit! The Sonic Adventure games may have flaws like the localization, The lip syncing, but that doesn't mean they are bad games they are great games Adventure 2 is my favorite Sonic game. So don't start with that Sonic had a rough time in 3D bullshit
@@ThisisKyle The controls are not wonky, If they were harder to turn like in the modern games then running around in a full 3D environment with snappy and responsive movements wouldn't work, especially Sonic Adventure 1
@@ThisisKyle honestly if there is another Sonic Adventure styled game, Make supersonic work in regular levels by not just making him an invincible yellow sonic
i just got introducet in this franchise with sonic mania and since i have a xboxone i can with backwards compatibillity get this game and sonic unleashed and maybe im going to pick up Sonic forces! Thanks dude!
Even though I was only 7-8 yrs old I still beat this game on the Xbox 360 and just watching the game I realize how well this game aged, and just how much nostalgia I feel towards this game
Fact that games like this one and Mania, show what Sega can do when they bring their S game tom the table, is fantastic. Hell even the community is still cooking up fan levels for this very game on the PC release. Making me wonder why i fell in love with the little blue dude all over again.
The first line of the video, "Sonic is nearly as old as I am" applies to me too! In my adulthood, my interests have spread out from just video games, so I only get to finish maybe one full-length game per year (and leave even more unfinished), and Sonic Generations was one of them. In a way, it succeeds by playing it safe and being about old levels re-introduced in 3D rather than having new mechanics and modes. I haven't bought a Sonic game since (although I hear Mania is good!) but the minute another *good* 3D Sonic game comes out, I'd be up for it.
I enjoyed so many of the levels in this game! If you could have one 2D Sonic stage become 3D, or one 3D Sonic stage become 2D, which stage would you want it to be?
2D stage be 3D: Twinkle Snow from Sonic Advance 3
3D stage be 2D: Kingdom Valley from Sonic 06
My 2D Sonic stage I would like in 3D would be Marble Garden Zone. That is my dream stage for Sonic!
17:38 I think you meant to say INVINCIBLE
You said INVISIBLE
2D to 3D - Mystic Cave Zone
3D to 2D - Twinkle Park.
2d to 3d Egg Rocket zone from Sonic Advance 1

"Boost Sonic emerged in Sonic Unleashed"
Sonic Rush: ...
Sonic Advance 2: I started it all!!!
Sonic Rush: Yeah, but I'm better.
Bro!!! Trim the beard looks like yours stressing it... love you
More than you should
I mean the 3D Boost formula began with Secret Rings... but Unleashed is where they nailed the level design to accommodate it as well
Sonic Heroes had boosting before both of them. And it was in 3D.
Sonic has definitely had his stumbles, but this game is just the perfect reminder of why people love the blue blur.
“Hey Sonic, enjoy your future, it’s gonna be great!”
Well yes, but actually yesn’t.

I'm still baffled how much Sega was never able to follow up on this. "Hey we made a great 3D Sonic game, let's never try that again!"
Well everyone that made this game left Sonic Team and work with Nintendo. They actually made Super Mario Odyssey, helped with Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and helped with Mario Kart 8's battle mode.
They even got the perfect level design and there was still room for improvement. Shame that they scrapped away all their efforts.
I mean, they did try again. That's what Sonic Forces is meant to be. Unfortunately they kinda screwed it up.
You can make your own Original the Character Do nOT sTEAL though so that's neat.
Forces wasn’t as good as Generations because all the talent got head hunted by Nintendo. Shame TBH
CaptainScarLeg they really shouldn’t have given that game to the level designers of sonic lost world
This game was phenomenal. They really missed out on a great opportunity for dlc though. Who wouldn’t have paid for ice cap zone or final rush?
Hell yes and more where that came from please!
Next best thing is the PC mod that puts all of the regular levels in Sonic Unleashed into Generations.
Playable characters as DLC *cough* shadow the hedgehog

Sonic boom is not canon it is a spin-off franchise to the main sonic franchise (like mega man x & battle network to the main mega man franchise)
Sonic r & the fighter are not canon they are spin-off games
Sonic pocket adventure is not canon is just a demake of sonic 2 with elements of sonic 3 and adventure for the neo geo pocket color
Sonic 3d blasd is not canon it just a filler game that made because the delay of sonic x-tream
Sonic battle is canon taking place before advence 3 but it’s not a main game
chronicles is unknown right now if it canon or not it’s a spin-off but the story can connect to sonic forces
The Riders games and team sonic racing are canon but they are spin-off titles (also jirard completed TSR already)
Sonic unleashed ps2 & wii are canon because they have the same story of the hd version but we don’t need a Completionist episode because he completed the hd version
The ds version of colors is unknown if it canon because technically it’s the first time blaze & silver meet after the events of 2006 erased from the timeline, maybe its a extended version of the story of colors
the 3ds versions of generation & lost world are not canon different story to the console/pc version
Yet Another Let's Player
dude the storybook games are canon because generation! Sonic mention the events of the secret ring in the game, they are platformers so its a main game
Chaotix canon because the chaotix debut.
Rivals is canon because of silver! The events of 06 erased in the end of the game so this technically the first time sonic meet silver. Also it’s a 2.5d platformer like rush so it’s a main game.
Mania treats all the classic sonic games it’s dose not make the game gear games canon it’s just a love letter to the sonic fans. Same for sonic the fighter it’s just a love letter to the fanboys how the fuck a sonic game with 8 chaos emeralds is canon?
After Generations: what could possibly go wrong?
After forces: AHHHHHHHHHH
Less than a week until the Sonic Movie! Who is looking forward to that masterpiece?
Edit: some people for some reason think I’m being serious about it being a masterpiece. It’s a joke.
Ryan Fanstone dude have you ever heard of something called sarcasm?
Considering how the development of the movie was handled,and how they thought that that whole original design was going to go over well, they clearly have no idea of what the franchise is and what we expect from it. I see this as a attempted cash grab by people who have no idea what the fans of the franchise will do if they're threatened or mildly upset. Considering a studio shut down because of the redesign they're not getting that quick cash grab. While the new redesign might be one of my favorite designs ever for Sonic, as I love realistic designs of cartoon characters done right, I have very low hopes for this movie. This isn't going to be detective Pikachu I can say that much.
Ryan Fanstone I thought it was pretty obvious but it doesn’t matter much 🤷♂️
18:03 “takes sonic underground” this truly is a complete tribute of Sonics history
One of the games of the decade, imo.
Boost Sonic actually debuted in Sonic Rush for the DS, but the boost gameplay we know today started with unleashed (Sonic Rush had a completely different homing attack and a trick system)
I played sonic generations when I was 11, now I'm 20, so this game as a whole is a nostalgia trip for me
diyagheith1 I feel you; I was 13 when it came out. Time really flies
One of the things I loved the most about Sonic Generations was the possibility to choose your own soundtrack for each stage. For example, for the final boss, I chose Toxic Caves the first time. An odd combination, to say the least! XD
I mixed Modern Crisis City with A New Venture (Sonic Rush Adventure's main theme)
I love Sonic Generations for one reason:
Mods
Hell yeah
The mods in this game were too good
Unleashed Project
Oh god tht asmr was amazing lollllllllllll i luv tht ur not afraid to "get wierd"
18:35 Knuckles only guard the Master Emerald, not the Chaos Emeralds.
Born on an island in the heavens ~
It's just my favorite Sonic game of all time. Your video is a worthy tribute of this amazing game !!
Sonic n' Tails and the legend of Dr eggman's mean bean machine
"Sonic extended universe" is a term I never thought I would hear.
I guess we need to add that to the dictionary.
Megaman Zero/ ZX Collection when it comes out this month please.
I'll admit that Sonic was iconic to me growing up. Even though I was born in the early 2000's, my first time playing Sonic was on the Gameboy and I loved it. My dad had this console when he was younger and he let me play it. I had a blast with it, although I never played through the whole game because I was an eight year that wasn't that good at video games.
I know that the Sonic franchise has had quite a few bad games, but my experience with it has been pretty good! Then again, my second Sonic game was Sonic Colors on the Wii. I went nuts with that game and even played it with my best friend sometimes.
Now that I'm on the internet, I found out that Sonic Colors is one of the better games. So I think I just never played any of the bad games.
So yeah, this franchise has a close spot in my heart.
NOT EVEN TWO MINUTES IN AND I HAD TO PAUSE
LOVE YOU, CLASSIC JIRARD, NEVER CHANGE
Sonic is my all time favorite franchise/character (the close second is Megaman). First time I played Generations I was impressed by everything, but in one of the challenges, when the Balloon Park song started playing (Balloon Park was one of the 2player mode stages in Sonic 3) I busted into tears, I used to play that stage with my uncle that passed away, and the remix was so beautifully done that my emotions were exploding. This game (and Sonic in general) means a lot to me.
Great video, and perfect game! :D so hyped for the movie next week
17:38 Lol. He said "invisible"
I'm glad to see someone apprecieating Generations for how good it really is. Nowadays all you see is either hate from people who have never played it, or hate from the god awful fandom that can't decide on the Worst Game of the Month or something.
Aaahhh, the nostalgia.
If there's one thing that Sonic always gets right, it's the music
Not just one of my favourites of the 2010 era but even to Inspire me to create my own stories loosely based on this and some Kingdom Hearts elements as well (very long story unless your me from either 2010 or 2004 going backwards where I'm from). Still wished they could've develop the story here to say the very least and anyone else still thought the Time Eater was the Shadow Blot from Epic Mickey as a kid or a teen?
THANK YOU! I'm so tired of people disregarding this game because it's a tribute or some other nonsense. There is finaly a good review that gives this game justice. :)
16:01
"Recently"
That was 3 years ago bud
Yet it is still the best Sonic game I’ve ever played. It still ages well 😍😍
This was the first game I ever completed. Mostly because I really wanted to unlock the all the songs (and my favorite songs were the last ones unlocked).
"there's no treasure hunting in this game, no on rail mech battles"
As soon as he said that I rolled my eyes
I think he meant in the main levels
@@BitchChill and i still roll my eyes
Generations really brought modern Sonic back on the map, and is 100% the best boost game in my opinion.
I adore this game! It's something amazing.
I also love Super Sonic in this game, I just wish it didn't take all of your skill points. I worked hard to get those emeralds, I think I deserve to have that as an innate ability and still being able to mix and match skills.
Yeah, but sonic would basically be Really op, but i still can agree with you. :)
@@kenwalkensdeadchannelcanal2886
He would, but I think at that point it's well deserved. Super Sonic in the classic games is also incredibly OP.
The game I've completed over 10 times in a single month (not including online stuff (time attack and 30sec) as I didn't have xbox live) when I was little purely because I liked the game so much when I was little.
(When I got it on steam recently I got 46/49 achievements in 18 hours when that 18 hours also includes me messing around with mods such as the Unleashed Project)
I see completionist, I click.
Loved the game even more than mania! (And if you preordered the game, you get a sonic spin ball area.)
In PC release it's now free for everyone.
@@shooter5769 Cool!
When you're used to the PC version in all of its high res and 60fps glory, it's really weird seeing the PS3 version of the game! =P
I know, so weird.
Same thing here.
I'm playing Sonic Generations at 1440p60, with SMAA, ambient occlusion, and mods to make the game even better.
If you didn't know, you can get classic sonic to homing attack in generations by getting the red rings In a certain stage or something
Ha, finally a game I completed before you made a video on it 🙂
Dimitriy Dzyuba that deserves to be an official ps4 achievement
Sonic Generations is my favorite Sonic game of all time. I have the Xbox 360 version on Xbox One X, and the PC version, so I get the pros and cons of both main versions. I also have the 3DS version. Classic 2D platforming and 3D boost gameplay in one game is the best Sonic experience for me.
Who got a Sonic movie ad before watching this
Ya boi
Yeah
Not me...
Me
This is the one game I've actually managed to completel 100% all the way through like the Completionist. And had fun the whole time.
I got a Sonic movie ad before this video, hey I wanted to watch a Sonic video not a Sonic video
Jirard said "...and takes Sonic underground" and the Sonic Underground theme flashed in my head
When will you do some more Mega Man Battle Network Games?
You're a fan of the Battle Network series too?
@@Rex13013 heck yeah I am
@@MercilessRalph231 Awesome! It's always rare to see and find fans of the BN series for some reason, BN it's my favorite Megaman series tbh it always has been.
Love your videos, Jirard and the Completionist Team. Thank you for all of the entertainment you’ve given us
Just casually Decided to check my Subscriptions and saw This 2 minutes ago, and well... I clicked faster than I've done this year.
Gotta click fast
I love how the game acknowledges the difference in the two Sonics' skills. That moment when Classic Sonic attempts a Boost is way too adorable.
Everyone know that classic sonic is just too adorable!
9:16 "It hasn't been easy to put Sonic in 3D"
Don't even start with that shit! The Sonic Adventure games may have flaws like the localization, The lip syncing, but that doesn't mean they are bad games they are great games Adventure 2 is my favorite Sonic game. So don't start with that Sonic had a rough time in 3D bullshit
If they were refined then the Adventure games would be amazing, unfortunately the controllers are a bit wonky
@@ThisisKyle The controls are not wonky, If they were harder to turn like in the modern games then running around in a full 3D environment with snappy and responsive movements wouldn't work, especially Sonic Adventure 1
@@ThisisKyle honestly if there is another Sonic Adventure styled game, Make supersonic work in regular levels by not just making him an invincible yellow sonic
@@connorplays6263 I'm sorry but the controllers are a bit wonky, if they were refined a little then they would be amazing
@@ThisisKyle are you talking about the actual controllers or how the game controls? Because I've never had any issues with the controls.
i just got introducet in this franchise with sonic mania and since i have a xboxone i can with backwards compatibillity get this game and sonic unleashed and maybe im going to pick up Sonic forces!
Thanks dude!
My first Sonic game and my personal favorite game.
I recently started playing through this one again, 10 years later it still looks beautiful!
18:02 "...takes Sonic Underground."
...
"Sonic Undergroooouuuund!
Sonic Undergrooouuund!"
The mirror Jirard bit killed me
I’m 11 and I just beat this game. I’m so happy
I love this game. It was my first ever PC game and most played on Steam to this day.
I've completed this game a day ago. What a coincidence.
Keep up the good work, Jirard.
I've been waiting for this ever since sonic colors was completed!
Even though I was only 7-8 yrs old I still beat this game on the Xbox 360 and just watching the game I realize how well this game aged, and just how much nostalgia I feel towards this game
Fact that games like this one and Mania, show what Sega can do when they bring their S game tom the table, is fantastic. Hell even the community is still cooking up fan levels for this very game on the PC release. Making me wonder why i fell in love with the little blue dude all over again.
This game is the peak of modern Sonic. If only they could replicate this gameplay style with new stages, or perhaps a Sonic Generations 2.
This is handsdown, the absolute best sonic game, i love it
Best way to watch this, 1.5x speed. Gives that extra level of immersion for a Sonic game.
I love that in the intro sonic and the black knight and sonic boom are tucked away just in the corners 😂😂
Ive waited 4 years for a completionist sonic generations review, and worth it
Good Timing because the Sonic movie comes out in 6 days and so far on Twitter its positive
The first line of the video, "Sonic is nearly as old as I am" applies to me too! In my adulthood, my interests have spread out from just video games, so I only get to finish maybe one full-length game per year (and leave even more unfinished), and Sonic Generations was one of them. In a way, it succeeds by playing it safe and being about old levels re-introduced in 3D rather than having new mechanics and modes. I haven't bought a Sonic game since (although I hear Mania is good!) but the minute another *good* 3D Sonic game comes out, I'd be up for it.
It’s sad that that “world’s #1 video game magazine” couldn’t even spare a 7 for this gem.
