While we have a Wii review of the latest game in the blue hedgehog series by IGN, Anthony Gallegos gets stuck into the DS version of Sonic Colors. Also scoring it an 8.5/10, it looks like a title which might pave the way to a better future for Sonic.

Sonic Colors is undoubtedly the best portable Sonic game I’ve ever played, and may even be my favorite entry in the franchise. If you’ve never been into Sonic, then Colors certainly won’t change your mind, and the difficulty spikes and poor continue system will undoubtedly fluster many, but the ride is worth it. A year ago I was ready to relegate Sonic to the “won’t ever be good again” part of my heart, but, if this is where Sega’s taking the franchise, I’m ready to believe again. Welcome back, Sonic. I’ve missed you.
