Even two decades after its initial release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Sonic Generations still has a devoted modding community, with fans tweaking the Blue Blur’s timeline-crossing platforming adventure in a variety of different and amusing ways over the years. Some of these Sonic Generations mods have granted Sonic control of an entire army of clone hedgehogs with which to challenge the evil Dr. Eggman, while others have added a dizzying first-person view of SEGA’s hypersonic mascot as he spins and dashes across landscapes like Green Hill Zone and the dreaded Chemical Plant. Another particularly noteworthy Sonic Generations mod is Unleashed Project, a makeshift PC port of 2008’s Sonic Unleashed that recreates the daytime levels of that particular Sonic entry within Sonic Generations' game engine.
