SONIC COLOURS

WII/DS, 2010

Set in an interstellar theme park, Sonic Colours tasks Sonic with rescuing Wisps – aliens that are being used as a power source by Eggman. The game utilises the hybrid 2D/3D platforming template introduced in Sonic Unleashed, with Sonic gaining new powers when he collects the Wisps, from rocket boosting to drilling through the ground. These abilities enabled all kinds of new level designs, making for one of Sonic’s best 3D outings to date. It’s also one of the most graphically impressive games on the Wii.
