Sonic X Shadow Generations launches this week and The SEGAGuys veteran Sonic the Hedgehog fan, Dan the Mega Driver has played both campaigns.
Does the remaster avoid disappointment? Is Shadows campaign substantial? And what about those controversial cutscenes? We explore it all in this review.

You can turn the lives back on for Sonic Generations, turning them off is optional. It's not a major deal anyway but the option is there if people want it.
Wish there was a way to play as Shadow in the modern Sonic stages
“I get the concerns about artistic integrity.” Gotta convince me Pontac and Graff had some, first. The new script is better almost across the board. It’s gone from Wikipedia level references that make the characters look ignorant of their own history, to nods that actually make sense and characters focused on the story at hand. Amy’s line about flirting was extremely cringe coming off her being trapped in a void. “Here’s my one trait these guys know about me!”
Great to hear it's more than just a simple cash grab ahead of the new Sonic Movie.
Finally another segatuber who does more sega content then just sonic subbed
Modern crappy sonic why do they love Modern crap🤔
I have gens on Xbox with the fps boost but sxs gens on ps5 feel way better ngl it’s a completely different experience in my opinion also enjoying shadow part too
I hope sonic frontiers 2 has a world that better fits the sonic aesthetic. I want to see checkerboard dirt in some places and I want to go through loops and run through different biomes that look like past sonic levels. Not just green hill again but all the outdoor levels from the past could be turned into vibrant biomes that fit with the cartoon vibes of the characters. Imagine running through a forest and coming across a chemical plant that you can run through like your exploring shadows white space
Omochao was rerecorded, it's a different va.
Top review cheers mate
Why is nobody talking about Radical Highway chase sections?
0:06 Yay, GameGear Sonic 1.
How similar Shadow to Frontiers gameplay? I'm someone who gave up on that game a few hours in because I just didn't like the gameplay and rank that game the lowest of the last 2 decades, so should I even bother with the Shadow game?
Either way I really just want the Sonic Generations as I no longer have a system to play it on
So you're going to tell me that I can't shove a girl whose constantly invading my personal space without my consent? Am I supposed to just take the hug even if I don't want it?
Who saw the reference at the beginning about "evil genies" and that other thing
There's a bit more to the controversy. In one of the side stages, Amy declares that if she wins, they go out on a date. In the remaster, its "whoever gets to the end, wins", which takes away what they were racing for and Amy's personality in general. On top of it, any dialogue regarding Amy's love for Sonic is entirely omitted. She also slams Knuckles in the end, but that wasn't really all that big of a deal (still why is it changed?). They also keep dialing back Rouge's femme fatale personality and design for whatever reason (about 20 years too late SEGA to care about that now), even though her side mission is still entirely unchanged (where she makes a bunch of robots, mhm, excited), which makes it all seem just weird.
Flynn does not know his Sonic lore, I really hate it when people say that. He's not Sonic Jesus, he's not the lore god, nor is he even in charge of the lore. His most recent controversy before this was that he made statements about how "Chaos Control only stops time, doesn't teleport the user", which is factually false, because how else did Sonic get out of the capsule in SA2? Before that, he believed Sonic could only go lightspeed if he had the Chaos Emeralds, which is again factually false (it's one of his regular moves and Omega even references his speed as being beyond Lightspeed). People need to stop glazing the guy, he's really not that good and I would like to point out that Archie's most hated stories were written by the guy, he's a big reason that series ended.
To my shame, I've never played Generations! I have it digitally via Xbox 360 but perhaps I should give this remaster a spin instead. Great coverage mate 😀
I hope this mini Shadows Frontiers like part of the game, is experimental stuff they will use in Sonic Frontiers 2. The world design is amazing
As another player who's been here for the whole journey, I actually think Shadow Gens is the best play experience of any 3D Sonic title.
Sonic, like Man Utd was utterly incredible in the 90’s. Now it’s a little hit and miss with the odd standout being enjoyed for what it is. I’ll be buying it out of habit and love for the blue hog but I’m not expecting treble’99 standards.
Man f all this soft ahh bs Amy got shoved whatever classic Sonic’s is fat so what
Was the Sonic Pinball level added to this new version of Sonic Generations? I just played the Pinball level in Sonic Generations and I don't recall that level being in the original 360 version. It was the most fun I have had playing pinball in a while haha.
Great review: I think you sold me!
Hi there'! Great review. Quick correction omochao has been re recorded by Erica Lindbeck
All the characters have because almost all characters give hints revolving around button prompts
I played Sonic Generations for 260 to 280 hours!
Sega has gone woke people,nuff said. Just watch.
Since you have played the game how many levels/bosses does the Shadow levels have?
I know you said it was around 3h long but I would like to know about the levels.
