I mainly disdain Forces for everything besides it's gameplay. Even after saying that, at least Colors sets itself apart from earlier entries with it's focus on platform puzzles and the variety of Wisps. Still not a fan of either, though.
Funny story, I bought this game a few months ago as a contingency plan in case I ended up not liking Sonic & the Secret Rings. This way, I reasoned, I would end up with a game I liked regardless of my thoughts of either. I never guessed I would like both Storybook Series games more than this one. Sonic's movement is stiff and heavy, the controls are crammed, I don't like the puzzle platforming approach and the Wisp powers are jarring. On a positive note, the usual strengths of every Sonic game before carry over to here. This is the last Sonic game with a set of thematically original levels and they are among the most gorgeous the series has ever seen. This is also the last Sonic game to have a good original soundtrack.
