Best Sonic game in years

Over the past several years, numerous Sonic games have been released, none of them have been quite as enjoyable as Sonic Colours. Firstly the game just looks beautiful. As its title implies the game is packed full of vibrant characters and environments. It is very pleasing to the eyes. All the animations are smooth and the game keeps a consistent framerate. Sonic Colours utilises 2D environments and occasionally mixes it up with some 3D sections, all of these sections retain the known and loved speed of old Sonic games. The game rarely slows down. Each level is differs from the last, possibly not enough though, but each world is unique. The game has a pretty cool new feature with the wisps allowing Sonic to perform ultra powerful moves and abilities that are well beyond what he has done in other games. The wisps isn't a superb idea but it does mix up the gameplay just nicely. The boss fights are good but not exactly memorable, and the cutscenes are cute but the dialogue is almost painful at times. It is the best Sonic game in years but it's not perfect.
