Wisps were a mistake.

I remember people saying this game was sonics comeback. I played it after generations so maybe that's why it felt like a step down but there are so many bad stages in that game, it makes you wonder what the fuck people were thinking saying it was good. And wisps are retarded
Owen Jones
They were thinking "duhh I'm a sonic fanboy and every with a MC score over 70 is a comeback".
Unrelated fun fact, with the XSX you can now play Sonic 06 and Sonic Generations with zero framedrops. Pretty cool.
Grayson Torres
So, was it bad, was it good?
Samuel Jones
Do you think wisps should have stayed ONLY in sonic colors?
I say yes
they should not have been in the comics
they should have not been in any future games(except generations)
they are way to overused

now that we're well over a decade removed from 06 we don't have to pretend Colors is anything more than a mediocre game, right? I never got people praising it like it was the second coming of Sonic just because it wasn't a total abortion of a game like Shadow or 06 was.
and side note unleashed is to this day the last good 3D Sonic game and it's really goddamn frustrating that it gets dragged for its faults while everything after it just seems to get a free pass by comparison.

I remember seeing the DS version of this game at a Costco. The plastic display case around the box was broken so that I could've just opened the box and stolen the cartridge, but I didn't end up doing it. Not that I was actually tempted to steal the game, anyways.

wisp bump
Levi Jenkins
It was what people wanted at the time, so they were willing to overlook the trash.

Why did the fanbase turn against this game so hard?

I thought xbox backwards compatibility didn't support Sonic 06.
Jose Ward
Lost World happened.
John White
they realize 2-d sections in it were crap that cursed the new games
Christian Watson
Will this game ever be re-released?
Charles Ramirez
Remember buying this for my sister since she liked sonic at the time. Was pretty good.
Dominic Lopez
That was Unleashed's fault, though.
Jonathan Murphy
you have to remember that before this it was shadow 06 and secret rings. Unleashed day time was good but was held back by the werehog. Colors might have alot of boring platforming sections but there's nothing really terrible about this game like most sonic games

This was the first Sonic game I played since the Genesis days and I had fun with it. Soundtrack is the best of the 3D games.

Love the slow piano over the faster backing drum and bass

Funny how they complained about how removed the 2000s were from the classics but when I played this it doesn't even feel like a Sonic game at all. Momentum and physics don't even feel like a thing in this game, whenever the game is actually 3D which is about 20% of the time it's either a hallway where you move side to side or a 10 second cinematic sequence where you hold X. I think it's been said before but the plot itself is absolutely awful, not because it's lighthearted or "funny" (which it isn't) but because of how it's written. It feels like i'm watching an episode of Family Guy where they have to explain everything that's going on in the story in every cutscene. Sonic Dissected really nailed it when they talked about it. It feels more like a game written by redditors, say what you want about "muh level designer writing the story" but at least they made a better attempt at immersing the player and knew to show rather than just tell. This even leaks into their jokes where they explain every single joke they make. Even as an 11 year old kid who got the game at launch I didn't like it. It's funny people were talking about how Sonic was dying because of automation and less of a focus on physics and exploration and this game is the ultimate culmination of that and yet it's praised.
I don't like the Werehog, it definitely overstays it's welcome but looking back it's more mediocre than anything. It's not egregiously bad or broken in any way but it's just repetitive really

It's kind of bland and boring but not irredeemably terrible like Knuckles in 06

I was just thinking about how decent it was yesterday without realizing it had been out for exactly ten years today. Not necessarily that good, but it was decent. Better than all of the Sonic games they had released in years. It made me hopeful for the future of Sonic.
Brandon Wilson
I think this just barely wins the title.

No you didn't.

I think Wisp overuse is Sonic Team/Sega misunderstanding why Colors was successful
