Sonic shows his Colours

True to form, the blue blur refuses to slow down as a second game is added to the Fall 2010 release window alongside Sonic 4, oddly named Sonic Colours. Gameplay is a mixture of 2D and 3D, which immediately screams Unleashed; with no werehog in sight, it's probably going to be better recieved than that particular outing.

Throughout the game Sonic can collect Wisps, a group of day-glo aliens captured by Dr Eggman. By combining different coloured Wisps, Sonic can unlock new routes and secret areas. The trailer is brief, but after four main console games that were either depressingly grey or overly serious, it is genuinely refreshing to see a Rush Adventure-esque title that cuts loose with a bright palette and a bouncy soundtrack.

Sonic Colours will be out later this year for Wii and DS. No word yet on how the two will differ beyond a few excusive Wisps, but as the first Sonic crossover for the two platforms it will surely use pointing and touch in no small amounts. Keep an eye on the Sega blog for news as it comes.
