  • Lost world is a mixed 2D and 3D platformer game with a new feature called 'parkour' for climbing and sliding around the environment. The boost in recent games is gone but in its place is the spindash and it also has upgraded with a new version called the 'infinite spindash' which essentially is the boost but is as infinite means, not limited so you'll only stop if you ram into something.

  • If your a sonic fan from the old days up to the modern generation you will notice the games practically screaming retro sonic the hedgehog. Remember how in the old games classic sonic was meant to beat eggman but still free animals in the process? Well that 'freeing animals' thing has now been turned on its head as a gimmick to going level to level and i honestly feel thats kinda clever.

  • Lost world is at heart, a classic sonic brought to the modern day. Lets talk positives and negatives. positives: 1: The game is fairly well polished, The game both looks nice and doesn't lag that much and even when it does lag its not that low and soon is resolved so at least we know sonic team was trying. 2: The nostalgia thats all around, they didn't have to but they did for the fans thats nice.

  • #3: The gameplay, it brings the dreamcast era fans the smooth 360 degree controlled sonic and the 2D fun of the old games, just a little slower for platforming is all. I know you have 360 control in the newer games too but im talking smooth controlled. The boost games 360 degrees control is a little bit clunky for me and i feel theyre meant for going forward and not all around.

  • #4 Stuff you can do after your playthrough. Even after you just play through the game and get to the end you still have more options in the game, collecting the red star rings, completing achievements omochao gives you, the time attack mode that lets you try to beat other players times and try to rank high in the rankings, the multiplayer theres stuff to do after a playthrough of the game.

  • Now for negatives. #1 The coop in single player is weak. Theres a # of options to play coop like helping P1 collect rings, make a bounce platform or make them invisible, but coop should be equal fun for P2 and P1, I feel tails could have made the coop a ton better and it would have increased nostalgia even more as reference to sonic 2, and he's right there with sonic so why cant i play as him?

  • #2: The deadly six are too easy. Even for first time playthroughs its unlikely you'll die much to these guys. If there was no chargable homing attack and more health for them they still would have been easy, but at least not as easy as they are. #3 Super sonic is not very good. So after getting all those red rings, you expect a great super sonic but no, his model is even messed up, why sonic team?

  • #4: The items in your bag are next to meaningless. You are able to go through these levels easy without them and eventually you'll forget they're even there in the first place. Do i even need to mention the speed shoes? You'd think the speed shoes would speed you up, you know, like the original games? No, all it does is change the music and when you move without running you run anyway. Thats bad.

  • #5 The super peel out in this game is bad. So sonic team listens to the fans and makes the super peel out return and guess what? It's useless. It just holds you in place like CD ok, and when you let go you'd imagine you'd go faster then your running speed like sonic CD but you go at the same speed if you were just holding the run button and going around, so you gave me a move thats useless? Wow.

  • I know my negatives outweigh my positives but really, these negatives aren't too big of a deal except the items and and superpeel out. First playthrough you'll likely find the game average at best, whether it was the $60 at the time with the slower speed. But i think the main way of liking lost world more then average is the nostalgia and playing it more and getting over the slower paced speed.

  • Which is why i think this game, is pretty good. Not better then say colors or generations or adventure any of those, but its still pretty good overall and for $30 *I believe the price is now* I feel like sonic fans can enjoy this game and so in the end i give this game 4/5. Thanks for reading!!
