I received a copy of the all new Sonic Lost World for the Wii U to play and review. Opinions of the game are 100% my own.

The only Sonic the Hedgehog game I’ve ever played was, well, Sonic the Hedgehog. It was was a pretty amazing game and things moved so incredibly fast. I enjoyed it but never really got so into it, maybe because I got frustrated about losing all those rings every time I hit something. I did download the game on the Wii when it became available and tried it once again. It was fun but I wanted to have a game that took the fun of the original Sonic the Hedgehog and updated it with the graphics technology advances of today. I believe that Sonic Lost World is that game.

The game is exclusive to the Wii U and Nintendo 3ds. The version I received is the Deadly Six Bonus Edition which comes with a downloadable bonus level. In this game Sonic faces six menacing monsters called the Deadly Six. Each one more terrible than the next but Sonic has a whole bunch of new moves and color power to help in his mission like a flying kick, wall run and crimson eagle. Sonic has never been more powerful.

Users can play directly on the Wii U gamepad or via the TV. They can also play in Co-Op support mode.

I played through many of the levels and there is a cool mix of side scrolling and immersive 3D environments. Sonic can do some amazing moves and he just gets faster. There are levels where he runs completely around and you can’t tell which way is up and which way is down. Then he hits bounce pads and goes rocketing through the air like a blue pinball. The game is very cool to play and is a must for any Sonic fan. Continue reading Review: Sonic Lost World →
