Disponibile tramite PlayStation Network ed Xbox Live

In occasione del ventesimo compleanno del celebre franchise SEGA, Sonic The Hedgehog, entro la fine dell’anno, come già noto, sarà disponibile nei negozi un nuovo capitolo, ma nel frattempo abbiamo la possibilità di provarlo.

SEGA ha infatti annunciato il rilascio, previsto per oggi, 23 Giugno 2011, di una demo giocabile dedicata a Sonic Generations, nuovo episodio della saga che ripercorrerà tutta la storia del celebre protagonista della serie.

La demo permetterà in particolare di provare quello che è considerato uno degli ambienti di gioco più importanti dell’intero franchise, Green Hill, completamente ricreato con una grafica in alta definizione e con la possibilità di sfruttare il 3D stereoscopico.

Concludiamo ricordando che Sonic Generations sarà disponibile nei negozi durante il mese di Novembre 2011 su piattaforme PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 e 3DS.
