So Dr. Eggman has made an amusement park in space to mask his attempt at using a species of aliens who are made of living energy called wisp to rule the world. As usual sonic is there with his long time friend tails to go stop him. While the story is really nothing to right home about the writing is genuinely funny at times with its references to how often the series has changed voce actors. The dialogue between sonic and tails also feels more real because you feel like these guys have known each other for a long time and the banter between Eggman and his two robot minions is also funny for the most part.
As for the amusement park in space this severs as the levels sonic runs through. There are six zones Tropical Resort, Sweet Mountain, Starlight Carnival, Planet Wisp, Aquarium Park, and Asteroid Coaster. Each has its own theme and looks very good compared to other Wii games such as Mario Galaxy. Thou sonic colors is a 3D game it feels more like a 2D game with 3D segments, most the time your on a 2D plan like the old sonic games. The twist here is that there are power ups in the form of the wisp that Eggman has captured. The power ups include laser, drill, hover, cube, rocket, spikes, and frenzy. Each power up helps sonic gets through the level in different even helping find alternate paths. These powers come in handy when fighting a boss too. There are only four bosses in the game three of which are repeated and there are all very easy.
There are also bonus stages that you can unlock by collect red rings you find throughout the levels. Beating all of them unlocks a very special treat Super Sonic.
While most of the game provides a fair challenge there are times were the game can seem very cheap like have pitfalls or having obstacles get in your way when you have no idea that they are there because your going so fast. The music is all around very good. The ones that play during the stages are fitting and energetic. The main track Reach for the Stars in particular fits the game well. All in all sonic colors is a solid title if you’re a sonic fan definitely buy it and if you are not a sonic fan rent it.
