Sonic Colors is NOT a 2D Sonic Game

[@hs1798]

The problem is that add to the game being mostly 2d, a lot of colors 3d parts are drifting and sidestep sections and feel much more linear than unleashed and gens

[@mr__switch1825]

The problem with Colors imo is that even the 3D feels 2D bcs of it's simplicity. I know that sounds like I just hate Colors but really I'm not, I get the 3D has to be simpler bcs it's on the Wii. And I'm not saying 2D games can't be complex. They def can. But it's just, almost all of the 3D in Colors feels like the first stage. Either that or it's just quick stepping sections (which imo don't really count as actual 3D when they are spammed as much as they are in Colors) the most fleshed out 3D in Colors is in what, the beginning of Aquarium Park and Asteroid Coaster. And that's just bcs you have to do more than just walk and jump occasionally.

[@Eman02kG]

You just proved their point😭

[@XPool]

Sonic Colors is just like Sonic Labyrinth. They’re both 3D! Where’s the Labyrinth review, Luke?

[@Mudkip971]

The biggest problem with the 3D sections in this game is that they mostly consist of linear corridors, sure some might be obstacles here and there but are very short and add little to the gameplay.

[@Joshi_ForReal]

I actually don't mind 2D in 3D games ,For some reason my favourite level is sonic unleashed is chun-nan act 2 daytime (I think) it's the entirely 2D stage in dragon road were you go around in a circle and it's really fast pace similar to rush :)

[@MrLag525]

I fully agree with you. There is only truth on this channel.

[@bendito247]

While I’ve never been the biggest fan of Colors, I never understood the sentiment that Colors is “a 2D game” or “mostly 2D.” It has 2D sections like any Boost game, but it’s not over abundant to the point of feeling like it plays like a fully 2D game. It’s a 3D Sonic at heart, and it just so happens that it has some levels that are fully 2D.

[@aidenatorx99]

I like how RadicalSoda put it. Colours is a 2D game that sometimes switches to 3D. I agree, 2D itself isn't a bad thing, especially with Sonic. 2D I think is where Sonic has been the most consistent in terms of quality (Genesis Trilogy, Advance Trilogy, Rush Duology + Colours DS etc.) but where Colours seems to fall short, and where the argument likely stems from, is that a lot of it's 2D segments are not very interesting, especially in the later Acts. Them originally been optional side Acts makes a lot of sense as to why they're like this but since they're part of the main game in the final product, I think it's fair to critique it as such, hence the 2D argument

[@christtonmash1385]

I think the big thing about this whole situation is two things. 1: Colors Ultimate kinda sorta dragged this game’s reputation over a large pile of hot coals. 2. A lot of people were calling Colors the “future of 3D Sonic” a while back when over half the game is 2D. Like you said, this doesn’t make the game inherently bad, but it also probably didn’t sit well with people that the game advertised as the first “good” 3D Sonic game by game reviewers and general audiences seemed to focus more on blocky 2D platforming for at least 4 out of every six levels in a world than trying new things in 3D.

[@playbossthebest936]

The problem isn't the amount of 2d, but the level design and the abundance of filler stages. I'm not too bothered by this all things considered, but I definetly see where the opposite side is coming from

If Colors actually did have two 3D focused acts with a bunch of optional 2D stuff here and there, that would turn it from a D tier game to an A tier easily.

[@jokx4409]

I think the main issue is that there's barely any level design during the 3d parts. A LOT of them are just "run forward for a while, jump twice during an overall 20 seconds, ok back to 2d".

[@esdrasImayInotguy3481]

Well, you can make any game look bad if you simplify it at that level I do think the 2d of Colors is best appreciated when you are going to 100% completion

[@jokx4409]

@@esdrasImayInotguy3481 Certainly not. You can't say the same for sa2, for example. Some games do have sections that are just "run forward for a while", yes, but it's not 90% of them like colors.

[@esdrasImayInotguy3481]

@@jokx4409 Well, I've seen a lot of people saying the same thing about Sa2, the amount of automation is one of the most used criticisms Also the boost games are basically sidescrollers with the camera behind the character. Unleashed also used 3d sections as transition to the 2d sections (at least in the first set of stages), so that's why colors sections never bothered me (Note: I kinda misread your comment, I thought you were talking about all of colors, and not just the 3d sections)

[@kaosagamerreal]

[@raphaelmartins6529]

Well, you have to consider that most, If not all, Colors 3D sections are empty hallways, scripted drift sections or Quick step sections, so there isn't that much actual 3D platforming in this game. Having a 3D camera on a section that is Just an empty hallways doesn't count

[@JonyPlayz1]

Finally someone says lol. Big chad 💪

[@Laekith]

My main issue is that the platforming sections are really easy and boring.

There's two kinds of 2d stages, ones that suck and ones that don't suck.

[@the_magma_human33]

I'm surprised that people actually consider Sonic Colors a 2D game, because in my own opinion the 3D sections of Colors are the Funnest and more memorable part of Colors.

[@esdrasImayInotguy3481]

Colors does give you more controls in terms of moving Sonic around than the other boost game (I'm not talking about the abilities here, just the sonic handling) that's something I appreciate about Colors

[@rubyrose312]

Colors might not be as 2D as people say but my personal problem with the 2D in Colors is that alot of it is dumb gimmicks like the yellow spring or that raising platform that don't feel like Sonic at all while Generations 2D sections feel like an extension of the stage and keep a speedy flow.

[@Terminal_Apotos]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if we as a Society are going to call Sonic Colors a 2D game (which it isn’t) then we need to start calling Sonic Generations a 2D game. Besides, if you’re good at the game like me the 2D Sections should fly by.

To those who hate 2D sections in a Sonic game: you have lost the privilege of playing every 2D game in existions. If you people hate 2D sections in a Sonic game, I don't see why you should like other mascots like Mario, samus, Megaman, ect, don't ever pick up another Mario game again, never play another Mega Man game again. Cus at least Half of the video game mascots that exist on planet Earth have 2D in their games. I don't care you have lost the privilege of playing every game before the PLAYSTATION 1 era.😤

Neat Still trash tho

[@purpleboye_]

Did you measure each section by distance or time? I'm positive if you measured by time the game would be 75% 2D MINIMUM. Also modern Sonic's 2d controls and physics are ass.

[@esdrasImayInotguy3481]

It depends on your playstyle, you will be spending more time in 2d with you are collecting shit Boost controls in terms of platforming are worst in 3d
