Poll Can Sonic Mania get a 10? (105 votes)

AAAA (10/10) 10%
AAA (9/10) 30%
AA (8/10) 33%
A (7/10) 14%
Below A (6/10 or lower) 11%

Everything about this game looks utterly fantastic. I don't even like Sonic- but this game is making me nostalgic for something I never cared for. It looks like fantastic tight 2D platforming with a complete nailing of mechanics, something Sega has been consistently unable to deliver on when it comes to Sonic for over a decade now.

But this game- everything about it looks utterly great. Now add the general renewed nostalgia around Sonic these days. Throw in the fact that this game looks as good as it does. Throw in the fact that it will be a cheaper game than full price- can it actually get a 10? Does it have a shot? What do you think it will get?

I honestly couldn't care less what it gets. It could be a 5 or a 10, but I what I do know is that this is the game that I've been wanting for over two decades. The guys making it, I have complete faith in, as should anyone else that loves the classics.

All I hope is that this boss music makes its way into this, this is so iconic to my history and status as a gamer I can't even describe it.

The Sega Genesis was the first console I ever owned. Just watching the trailer ALMOST made me cry. I'm not a gamer, last system I owned was a 360 back in 2006. So I will play this for sure.

I'm pretty hyped for this, but I'm also being realistic. Hoping for a 8, expecting a 7

Nope. 8 at most. Not enough 4k textures, voice-acted cutscenes and particle effect explosions.

I went with 8 due to it going back to its original roots. Nailing a 10 though is a very far reach...

It might of gotten an AAA but I have a feeling it will get points deducted for recycling levels.

No because gamespot only loves movie games and walking simulators, and since Sonic will have gameplay i'm guessing a 7 at best, not enough feelz.

I hope so, but I recon it will be 8-9/10. If it was an exclusive Nintendo game or maybe exclusive to PS4 it would probably get 10/10 here on GS.

I have nothing to add. Encapsulates my thoughts 100%. CANNOT WAIT for this game. Also @charizard1605...unable to deliver tight 2d platforming in a decade?

Have you played Sonic Generations?

I honestly don't think the Sonic gameplay is good enough to ever get a 10.

No, but it'll get a 9/10. The game is a love letter built through sheer passion and it looks extremely polished. It all boils down to how well that passion translated over the creative side to make good level design and boss fights.

Day one for me, but it will most likely end up being a AA game.

It's a labour of love and I hope it spawns many similar games, i.e. new takes on classics.

I think it's basically being made for me. All you others enjoying it, thats fine. But its my game. That music, that bonus level, it's only missing star light zone as far as I'm concerned. Maybe a sequel?

But Sonic was never 10/10 gameplay to begin with :P

Seriously, it's a franchise I have tried so many times to like and can never get there. I like Adventure 2 Battle on the Gamecube a lot. I try so hard to like the original 3 and can never get through any of the games. I will try again someday.

I don't think I'll bother with Mania until I beat those 3 games though

I have little faith despite it being the most attractive Sonic game to drop in a long time. I'll say 7/10

How many decades does Sonic have to totally, utterly suck for before it sinks in?

Wasn't Sonic 4 supposed to be the last "savior" of the series? It was... ok.

No it can't, at least not here in GS. They will use the same arguments they used in the Crash collection about the platforming bing dated. It does look like it has a chance to get a 10 from me though.

How in the hell can anyone think this is going to be a 10? I'm wagering a 7, 8 tops.

Sonic is in a unique position in video games.

The games were good, maybe great, and never GOAT, but it has amassed an insanely loyal fan base that throw money at anything Sonic.

I dont see a 10 being particularly likely, but I can definately see it getting a 9.

I can't see it scoring that high. But I can see a solid 8 (8spot, I know) for being the Sonic game we Sonic fans have been Sonicing for

Guessing AA since it'll bring nothing new to the table. It'll be a great game, but 10s should be saved for innovative combined with amazing.

Sonic Mania is more polished and has fan service. It has new things going on too. I think it'll get an 8 or 9 from GS.

@GameboyTroy: Look I genuinely hope it's good. If anyone deserves an awesome game after so much crap it's Sonic fans! But I just don't expect it to break the pattern.
