@@Joel-qo5fx no I'm talking about the HD version. the werehog bits were quite challenging, but the boost segments, with the exception of that one large cylinder section, were pretty easy. you just need to make sure you don't spam the airboost like in the other stages, as this one has more platforming like gens. I'm no god, but I play a lot of platformers.

Also the electric rock soundtrack is super fitting for Sonic. If only these were longer and less linear, we’d actually have a game instead of a mini movie!

Sure, the levels may be EXTREMELY SHORT AND EASY, but that’s not my main issue with this game. Moreover, it’s because of Classic Sonic’s involvement in the plot. Sega tries to include him, but fail miserably. You know what, it’s the whole story. To be completely honest, all of my issues that I have with this game deal with the loosely formed plot. I could go on all day, but I’m not going to. But if I did have to say what I liked about this game, it would be the graphics. Always the graphics. Oh, and you can’t forget the music. That’s a plus.

You don't say ridiculous things, if we'ee generous the unleashed daytime levels would be a total of 45 minutes for the S-Rank. Eggmanland and the Night time levels can't enter in the comparison,since if so, all levels of Forces would have to be compared to do things fairly.

[@sogue1412]

[@hudsongilbert400]

Well, thanks for trying to make these levels as enjoyable as you could. Everything that previous boost formula stages threatened to be, actually did happen here. Automation is riddled throughout, simplification of Sonic's moveset and levels, gimmicky and inconsistent 2D sections, and a lack of altogether trust for players. That's not to say that they are entirely bad, but still pretty awful as compared to the rollercoaster joyrides of stages that came before it. Here's how I would rank the what is it... A meager seven stages??? Well sure you have the duo stages, but anyway... 7. Lost Valley: As bare bones as they get and riddled with unnecessary automation 6. Luminous Forest: Again, extreme levels of automation. Some neat diverting paths, but still super restrictive 5. Metropolitan Highway: Some neat parts, but the stiffness and simplification in overall gameplay really hurts here 4. Sunset Heights: The 3D section is passable, but the fact that the rest of the stage is in 2D and has pretty finnicky platforming bogs it down 3. Network Terminal: This stage really looks the part, especially when your on the rails, which is personally my favorite part. Multiple routes. It's decent 2. Egg Gate: Does have a relative sense of natural momentum which us nice and multiple routes. Still, automation is present 1. Mortar Canyon: This one actually has a buttload of potential and I think is the game's best stage. Variety of chances to experiment with the physics and the entire thing is in 3D ...Oh, they're also way too short

[@maxshapiro078]

Sonic Forces is what people who never played played Colors or Generations think those two games are like.

[@thesurgeon6473]

I'm pissed that they were so short, and had hardly any unique gimmicks, but they look absolutely gorgeous. And to me Sonic plays better and smoother than he did in any of the previous boosting games. Can't wait for the mods

[@yes5937]

The Surgeon Unleashed felt more smooth but I love the fact that sonic can home attack faster in this game and his boost launches him in the air instead of propelling him forward

[@leoadian1229]

Powdered Toast Man Unleashed wasn't as smooth as Forces is, Forces Sonic is a lot more controllable and feels like a genuine platformer Unleashed was just slippery and jagged all around

[@xcalibur64]

+Leo Adian Still controls better than this.

[@awesomeguy2009]

Leo Adian You haven't played Unleashed then.

[@thesurgeon6473]

Phantom Drags - WTF? "Unleashed was just slippery and jagged all around". You read that as he hasn't played it? I really like Unleashed, but the PS3 version (only version I have) honestly is pretty poor. Control is terrible, in the hub worlds it's too stiff and in the levels the only way you can keep any sort of control is by drifting, which you shouldn't have to do in a Sonic game. That's for the 3-D parts at least. The 2-D in that game is mostly excellent

[@Hedgehoginthetardis]

Almost 10 years since Unleashed and this is how plain, linear, short and boring these levels have become. This is downright embarrassing that this is the best they can do

[@MasterAlpha1000]

You can thank the gaming journalists for that.

[@vDREEGONv]

Damn, less than 15 minutes to beat all modern sonic stages?........why does this game keep on disapointing .-. At least SEGA found the good and bad things about sonic, and now are able to probably make a EVEN BETTER sonic game next time :)

[@thesurgeon6473]

DreeGon - They're way too short, but he plays brilliantly. I'm waiting for modders to port Unleashed stages into this game (and the modern stages from Generations) because their length and level design is so much more imaginative. Shame, because I really want to play as this Sonic for ages, but the game doesn't give me enough time

[@awesomeguy2009]

The Surgeon Unless modders can add the drift, light speed dash and change the physics, (which is most likely not gonna happen) Unleashed and Gens levels are kinda not feesable.

Yeah! I do actually like how sonic handles in this game, it feels so satisfying to use the air boost and its definitely something I wanna see if they make another boost game :)

[@jdawson7877]

Eggmanland from unleashed is the same length as all of modern sonic stages in forces combine...now thats just sad

[@tjwizzy]

The last Sonic level is the only no 2d section in the game. Its so sad that this was my favorite Sonic level in the game, the Music, background, it had everything. It felt something to me, to bad it ended up short.

[@O.H306]

Facts mortor canyon is such a good stage, if they took mortor canyon and gave that type of design to every stage this game woulda been amazing

[@ok-fz7xb]

Hmmm. In Sonic Generations, it takes about 30 minutes to complete all modern stages with a S rank. I don't get why they decided to shorten the stages. But the music in forces is really nice, so I guess that's one positive thing about it.

[@tweetug3697]

One thing Sonics games do consistently is the music. They at least give me motivation to complete the game.

If you played all of the sonic forces stages four times, that’s how long it would take to beat the last level in sonic unleashed.

Never played this one. I stopped at Generations. The environments look awesome. Really nice detail everywhere. The music however is so forgettable and the level design.

[@GuiGa2016]

[@fredh1720]

The music is pretty catchy actually when you play it. Metropolitan Highway and Luminous Forest are particicular favourites of mine. As for the stages being linear, yeah. The first one is, but that's kind of understandable since it's basically a tutorial level. The others are not much better though, sadly. Mortar Canyon has lots of paths, but Sunset Heights has absolutely none (at least in the 3-D sections). Shame.

Aside of the low speed in this game, there's something I don't like of these modern sonic games since Unleashed: the homing attack's reticle. I mean we didn't need it before, it can sound silly but I don't like that and the fact we can't control Knuckles, Tails, Amy, Silver, etc. If SEGA could make stages specially designed for them in future games aside of Sonic stages (still making the average amount of Sonic stages in each game), I'm sure Sonic games would go back to the top of their genre and they would gain durability. Also, what do you think about an online open world featuring the avatars you can create in Forces? With some improvements of course and a bunch of activities and mini games, a chat and all the usual stuff for a social game. It could be a separate mode from the main game.

Dis how you fix Modern: 1. Remove ALL speed boosters 2. Remove MOST automated sections (keep ones for loops) 3.Remove auto-turning 4. Implement drifting to Sonic's moveset, and have drift-only sections at certain points (like the quick-step only sections) but still be able to boost. 5. Make the enemies stronger (specifically the 3 ground robots (not including motobugs) the still one, the one with the plasma gun, and the one with the machine gun. Replace all the stationary ones with the plasma gun ones.). and boom levels are so much more fun.

My guess is that the level layout is too linear, the screen is too static so that it seems Sonic runs in normal speed only even in boost mode, and of course the stage duration is way waaay too short. 5-10 minutes might be too long, 2-4 minutes is absolutely perfect, and 0-2 minutes is just ridiculously short. It's funny actually... the cinematic scenes and Sonic's homing attacks make it seems he's fast, but during actual gameplay and boost mode he seems normal paced. Did SEGA learn nothing from Unleashed's night stages, Lost World and BOOM?

Unleashed's night stages are good

0:34 what did he say?

So much unused potential.. We need way more walljump sections and more quickstep sections and less linear boosting

It’s sad how I have to watch this t 2.0 speed
