Sonic x Shadow Generations review - brilliant new campaign leaves the blue blur overshadowed
Eurogamer's review of Sonic x Shadow Generations, where the dated remake of Sonic Generations is overshadowed by the brilliant new Shadow the Hedgehog campaign.
One moment Shadow is riding rails through space and punching missiles, the next he's flying down waterfalls, being chased by killer trains, and corkscrewing through a warped metropolis of bending skyscrapers. In all, the Doom Powers are mostly optional, but they add an extra layer of complexity that's relevant to Shadow's character, raises the required skill level, and boosts him beyond his blue nemesis. It may seem like a small change from Sonic, but it gives players so much more control over the character and, coupled with a generous lock-on, puts an end to sloppy targeting and infuriating confusion between jumps and attacks.
