New Sonic Generations Screens Race On To The Scene

Sega has released a whole slew of new screenshots for Sonic Generations. Sonic looks to be in top notch shape for his return to the Xbox 360 this November. For the uninformed, Generations has “Modern Sonic” teaming up with “Classic Sonic”, each of them with their own gameplay styles either based upon the older 16 bit titles or the Adventure series from the previous generation of consoles.

This latest batch of screenshots has me excited because it features one of my favorite levels from Sonic Adventure 2 – City Escape. Generations seems to be taking the best of the 16-bit and 128-bit eras while setting aside the convoluted stories, ridiculous gameplay mechanics *cough* were-hog *cough* and focusing on pure speed.
