Sonic Superstars is the kind of game that immediately made me check my own expectations at the door. I went in expecting a nostalgic side-scrolling Sonic adventure with polished modern visuals, but I did not expect it to feel quite so playful in the hands. This is not just a tribute to the old 2D Sonic formula. It is a bright, energetic platformer that tries to keep the speed, personality, and spring-loaded chaos of classic Sonic while giving the presentation a full modern makeover.
