Sonic Colors: Ultimate Reviews
Sonic Colours Ultimate isn't too convincing as a remaster, but it's still one of the best Sonic games of the last two decades. It doesn't fix the shortcomings of the first game and it also introduces some bugs and balancing issues, but it remains fun and spectacular; it' recommended especially to those who have never played the original.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate brings a decade old game to a modern audience and despite some prevailing franchise issues it’s still an overall good time. Racing through these levels, using the Wisp powers, and picking up all the collectibles is fun so long as the controls aren’t getting in the way. The game’s new lick of paint makes it look really good and performance is super smooth as it should be. I missed this game when it originally released and am glad I got the chance to experience it now. Hopefully the next new actual Sonic game can figure out the control issues though.
Classic and new Sonic now merged in HD to bring fun and lots of replayability, although its PC version suffers from little technical improvement over the original title.

Sonic Colours Ultimate is a solid if unremarkable retread through perhaps the only 3D Sonic game worth remastering. The visuals are just shiny enough to warrant a remaster, with a pumping soundtrack and inventive mechanics through the Wisps. Newcomers will find far more exciting and original games elsewhere, so the term ‘for the fans’ has never rung quite so true.
Sonic Colors: Ultimate is a great game, focused on the action that really matters for Sonic and with interesting gameplay mechanics. There are some bad things and cutscenes with weird graphics, in addition to being relatively short. However, there's plenty of optional content that makes up for that.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate does a decent job of bringing back a good game for modern audiences. Although I have fond memories of the original, this remake made me realise that my memory can't always be trusted when it comes to how well certain games will hold up.
Sonic Colors: Ultimate may not offer anything groundbreaking and may feel average by current gaming standards, but to longtime fans, it’s definitely a return to form for a beloved fast running, ring snatching, wise-cracking, and robot smashing video game icon.
If you're a fan of the original game, there's nothing here that will surprise you, but for newcomers, you can experience one of the better 3D Sonic games.
Although Sonic in 3D is still problematic at the design level and SEGA still does not hit the nail on the head, Colors turned the steering wheel in a suitable direction to deliver a game that works quite well, a title that understands what speed meant for Sonic 2D games: it is not about going faster by pressing something, but by knowing how to play and knowing how to do it fast. Colors is not perfect and may, due to its peculiarities, Sonic in 3D never be, however, it is a solid proposal that fulfills the most important thing for any Sonic game: to allow us to live the experience of escaping our limits.

Sonic Colors Ultimate is a game that everyone can enjoy, and it is undoubtedly the best version of the game since its launch. I believe that with this game you will have a full experience and tailored to what you want to deepen. However, it is a pity that not all parts of the game have been treated with the same care in this remaster.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate is certainly a fun game. Whether you’re new or have played the original Sonic Colors, Ultimate is something we’d recommend if it’s caught your eye. With its multiple variety of levels and unique worlds, there’s a lot of fun to be had trying to get the high scores in Sonic Colors: Ultimate.
A serviceable remaster that reminds us of how good Sonic games can be when they're done right.
One of Sonic's best adventures is back in style and shows that despite a decade on the back of her neck, she is still wildly playable!

Sonic Colors Ultimate presented a diverse world full of colors and smooth gameplay. Repetition in some stages and the ease of the game may kill the fun for some, personally I enjoyed it as a fan of Sonic

Sonic Colors Ultimate tries to offer a remastering of the original Wii, but fails in multiple areas. Although the base experience is still fun, this job leaves a lot to be desired.

Despite some issues, Sonic Colors: Ultimate is a fun, replayable, fast-paced Sonic game with a distinct variety of stages. The new additions provide a small extra layer of depth to an already fantastic game, but it would have been nice to see more gameplay additions. If you're after an excellent journey through space, then Sonic Colors: Ultimate is definitely worth your time. As per usual, don't go in expecting the Nintendo Switch version to be the definitive version to play, as the game obviously plays better on other platforms. However, being able to play this classic portably is something to be excited about.
undefined.If you missed the original Sonic Colors, you missed the introduction of worlds and elements that became the backbone to future Sonic games such as Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, Sonic Lost World and more. Sonic Colors: Ultimate will help you fill in that background, while also offering a futuristic, colorful way for newcomers to break into the world of Sonic. For younger players looking to discover the classics, remasters such as Sonic Colors: Ultimate are vital to letting games be enjoyed across generations.
Maybe it is not one of the best Sonic Games, however still funny a great in handheld mode.

Outside of [technical issues & weird platforming physics], Sonic Colors Ultimate is a nice mix of 3D Sonic gameplay that stems from the Dreamcast era and 2D classic platforming that put him on the map in the first place.
Overall, for Sonic purists there’s undoubtedly a great time to be had with Sonic Colors: Ultimate. For those who are more fairweather Sonic fans or are looking for a new adventure to dive into, the game might be a little more of a challenge to enjoy.
