Sonic might start grinding on a rail only to be dropped off on a platform further in the background than the original one, then bounce off of a spring and land closer to the screen than ever before. Sliding ability aside, act 2 was wild, making clever use of the 3DSвЂ™s 3D capabilities to add to the frenetic pace of the game. Sonic could slide if the player tries to crouch while boosting, but aside from getting through a few momentum-blocking barriers, I didnвЂ™t find much use for it. For one thing, the spin dash has been eliminated entirely, instead focusing SonicвЂ™s skills into his invincible boost (performed with the Y button) and homing attack (the jump button again in midair). Inspired by the 'Modern' segments in the console versions of Generations, this 3DS version was still a side-scroller, but had changed around some things from the side-scrolling Sonic most are familiar with. Admittedly, the invincibility powerup I found was instrumental to my success, but I cleared the stage in 38 seconds! Those 38 seconds were fun, mind you, but very brief and straightforward.ДЄct 2, however, was a different story. The biggest differences I found were that Classic Sonic could no longer enter his rolling spin-dash with a single button and that the level was incredibly short. Momentum-based platforming, physics very similar to Sonic 1, and iconic Green Hill Zone enemies and music.

Naturally, I started with the first act and found an experience very similar to the classic Sonic level that I played on the PS3. I canвЂ™t help but wonder if Sega is going to do this with the console version as wellвЂ¦ On 3DS, the option to play as Classic or Modern Sonic was relegated to a choice between two of the zoneвЂ™s 'acts.' Act 1 was Classic Sonic, with act 2 assigned to Modern.

Shortly after trying out Sonic Generations on PS3 and 360 (one level on each!), I sat down with the gameвЂ™s portable brother.
