Segas hedgehog mascot returns in yet another series entry.
Is Sonic Colours the return to form the franchise deserves?
Where Mario made the jump to the third dimension with aplomb, Sonic struggled.
The debtSonic Coloursowes to the magnificentSuper Mario Galaxyis obvious.
The constant shifts in perspective and styles of play.
The luminous, shining environments.
There are no annoying side quests and, best of all, no werehogs.
Sonic Colours big contribution to hedgehog lore is its Wisp mechanic.
Collected as you traverse each of its stages, these eight multi-coloured power-ups give Sonic temporary powers.
Nevertheless,Sonic Colours weaker moments are more than outweighed by its sense of fun and exuberance.
As its name implies,Colours levels are a polychrome riot, an acid-infused rollercoaster of twists and traps.
Sonic, its great to have you back.
Sonic Coloursis out now andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store.
