Should you buy it if you like Sonic? Yes! Should you buy it if you like only 3D Sonic? Give it a try. But now in finest HD… The game looks really great! It’s really the ultimate version of a 2D Sonic. The game looks and sounds like an old Sonic game. Call your friends and have a great Sonic party! □ “Time Attack” is a gift for speed runners and the “Competition” mode makes it interesting for a party up to four players. So you can play the whole game in a new “Master Quest”. In this mode there are new areas and different object placements. The bosses are optimized and the “Encore Mode” was added. “Mighty” has the hammer drop, while “Ray” can glide through the air. They play similar to Sonic, Knuckles and Tails. “Mighty”, the armadillo, and “Ray”, the flying squirrel, are new characters in the “Plus” version. And the game is not to easy, the challenge is still high enough. Well done!Īaaaaand… it’s fast! Really fast! Sonic fans will love it – there are a numerous speed up areas where you can feel the freedom of Sonic’s run ability. The levels in “Sonic Mania Plus” show that SEGA has still a great creative power – every level is completely different to the other one before. The “Studiopolis Zone” is a homage to SEGA’s studio in Los Angeles, “Hydrocity Zone” is a remix of an underwater stage in “Sonic III” or the “Metallic Madness Zone” was first seen in the forgotten “Sonic CD”. You have to go through 13 zones and you can experience a great variety. You start in the classical “Green Hill Zone” and –yes!– you feel “at home” from the first minute of the game on. When you start your game you can choose between “Mania Mode”, “Encore Mode” (new in “Plus”), “Time Attack” und “Competition”, a 4-player-battle-mode. I am a fan of the 3D Sonic games – but “Sonic Mania Plus” is fascinating for me too. You run through the best 2D Sonic levels – even the underwater stages are great fun. Why? The gameplay is old school, but it feels fresh. And it’s easily the best 2D Sonic game to date. “Sonic Mania Plus” is a side-scrolling platformer action game in the tradition of the Mega Drive, Game Gear, Master System and Nintendo handheld classics. Now you can buy “Sonic Mania Plus” at retail too! It is an enhanced version of “Sonic Mania”, a game which the critical press really hyped. In July SEGA gave us the ultimate 2D Sonic game called “Sonic Mania Plus“.
