The next Sonic game in the Storybook series, which includes the Secret Rings and the Black Knight, has been announced: Sonic Colors, for the Wii and DS! Not a lot of information yet on that one, but more will drop by quickly... E3 is coming up soon!

The Yellow color basically gives him the Giga Drill Breaker. Apparently this game will be reminiscent of Sonic Unleashed's daytime levels, which should please a number of people.

Of course, I can already hear the fandom raging.

Slight correction: The "storybook" collection has been scrapped altogether since the sloppy sales of The Black Knight. It's essentially from the same team, however.

Nintendo Power is advertising it as a "No gimmicks" game...but the aliens are proving to be quite the contradiction. But alas, more of Unleashed's Day levels is awesome, so long as that's a fact and not just a rumor.

I don't have a source, but I'm pretty certain this isn't part of the storybook games. I mean, really, what story is this suppose to be? The previous games had obvious references. ^^;

There's the source. Also comes with the Italian trailer for the game--it doesn't show any gameplay, but it does show Sonic, Tails, and the colored aliens responsible for the gimmick.

With a big "RUMOR" in the title, I wouldn't consider this to be the most reliable thing, but whatever. :P

Pretty, very pretty... I've learned to look beyond that when it comes to Sonic games, but it's hard to argue against those graphics.

That Burger level almost looks like something out of the Cake Factory Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, too!

Gameplay trailer:

Its extremely faithful to the day stages of Sonic Unleashed, which should please a lot of people.

Looks fun and energetic, and with rail grinding too! I'll wait for the reviews to come in to see if it's really worth something or not, but there's hope!

Um, keep in mind that for as good as it looks, it is a Sonic game. You will be hard-pressed to get a good review on it regardless of how well its made. You'd be better off renting it and seeing for yourself once the game's out.

There's something that I originally missed in all these news: the DS is getting it's own version of Colors, and it's not a port of the Wii version. It's none other than the latest entry in the Sonic Advance / Sonic Rush subseries, with the gameplay looking similar to Rush mixed with the Wisp for Colors. If the Wii version turns out to be horrible for some reason, then I've got high hopes for it's 2D brother!

Oh also I can confirm first-hand that it does in fact play almost exactly like Unleashed's day time levels.

The new wisp characters act as powerups rather than un-needed fluff for the story, and they add to the gameplay rather than detract from it.

So, hum, both versions are out.

Anyone played them yet? What's the verdict? I'm wary of anything Sonic, to the point that I decided to skip over Unleashed, but this one is actually getting decent reviews. Is it worth getting? If so, which version? Are the two so different that they should be considered different games within the same setting?

I got burned by Sonic Heroes, and my attempted return to the series with the Black Knight ended up with an unfun mess. If I'm getting any 3D Sonic game again, it has to be good and I don't want to take chances anymore. Otherwise, it's three strikes you're out, and I'll stick to the 2D games.

I haven't played it yet, but seeing how Colors' gameplay is based off of the Day Stages from Unleashed, its not surprising that its getting good reviews. Night Stages with the Werehog were hit-and-miss for the fandom, but most everyone agreed the Day Stages were great.

It's a 'meh' for me. The heart and story is definitely there but I just feel the controls are a touch clunky and most of the levels are super short. I really think it's aimed for the 9-12 age. I had more fun with Sonic 4 and Unleashed.

But still, it's one of the better games of recent years. I actually like the new voice actors and having just Sonic and Tails as the main characters is a breath of fresh air. ^^

Man, Sonic is just bad now. Sure, it's sort of manageable, but all the past voice actors that I recall were better.

Tails' voice is great though.

I don't know how they could replace Ryan Drummond. He's easily the definitive Sonic.

As for this new guy voicing Sonic, I'd pick Juleel White over him.

I haven't played this game yet, but it looks mighty promising. And this is coming from a guy who hasn't touched a single 3-D Sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2: Battle.

I haven't played any 3D sonic games since Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and Sonic Adventure (XD). I think I stopped following sonic after that Shadow the Hedgehog game came out (i don't want to sound like the Sonic fandom, but come on, I did not like the look of that one.)

I am interested in this game, I think it's too late to get the free sonic hat though. ): Pity.
