I hate the battle system, I hate the overworld map system, I hate how the Chao are glorified equipment, and I hate how they use WRPG stat terminology resulting in "Accuracy" being labeled as "Power" and "Evade" being labeled as "Defense".

I don't know if you guys saw the collector's edition of Generations. It has: - The game (obviously) - Casino Night Zone stage - Special lenticular sleeve for the game box - A CD of selected music from across the series - A making-of DVD - An artbook covering all 20 years of the series - Statue of Classic and Modern Sonic - A numbered gold ring It's pretty expensive, and it looks like it's only available in PAL regions. There's some neat stuff in there, though. I preordered it. |

- Casino Night Zone stage Does that mean only PAL people get to play the extra Casino Night Zone or is Europe who only one who gets screwed into coughing up more money for a special addition to play that extra zone? I mean the extra's are pretty neat, but 130 bucks? I think I'll pass... |

The Casino Night Zone is a also preorder bonus pretty much everywhere, including Europe. You'd have to check which stores are doing it, though.
130 bucks? I got it for £70, which is about $110... I dunno how these things are priced in the US, but that's about the same amount my girlfriend paid for the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Mass Effect 2 special editions, which had less stuff in them. I thought it was a steal! If they were selling the statue on its own they'd probably be asking at least £50 for it, based on other statues that size I've seen.

So, the game's come out. I've seen some gameplay videos, read some reviews and it seems like the game might actually be good and fun. So, has anyone gotten it (so to know if they recommend it or not)?
I'm considering the PC version, since I'm too poor to sustain more than a PC and a home console (and I've been watching gameplay of the PC version anyway).

I don't own it but I did get a chance to play a fair chunk of it yesterday.
Short Answer:
THIS GAME IS REALLY #@$%ing GOOD.
Long Answer:
>Classic Sonic isn't a perfect recreation but is DAMN close.
>Modern Sonic plays pretty much like a more refined version of Unleashed.
>ALL of the levels are absolutely HUGE and VARIED.
>Modern Sonic's levels in particular are NOT "boost-to-win". In fact, the later levels have hardly any areas where you can boost.
>The levels they picked make perfect sense when you consider they act as certain level tropes for Classic Sonic (e.g. Seaside Hill = Aquatic Ruin, Crisis City = Lava Reef, etc.).
>The music is amazing. Especially both the themes for Rooftop Run.
>In addition to 9 levels for each Sonic, you also have a metric ton of extra side missions for each level.
>There's a little shop where you can buy "skills" for each Sonic (such as the game giving you 10 extra rings on start-up or being able to move quicker underwater). My personal favorite is Classic Sonic's ability to bring a power-up into a level and use it via Y button, Mario-style.
>There may be an excessive amount of characters here, but instead of being forced to play as them, all you do is rescue them.
>Omochao is back!
>The game actually gets harder as it goes on, and not in an unfair way. The second half of the game is hard in the same way the second half of Sonic 3 is hard. I #@$%ing love it.
Only gripes:
-Classic Sonic can't really roll.
-Classic Tails doesn't follow Sonic, nor is there a 2-player co-op mode.
-You can't throw Omochao off cliffs.
So yeah. That's my two cents.
