I recently got to play Colors and Generations; my first time playing any Sonic games since the GameCube days.

I noticed that, if my ears are correct, they have completely new voice actors for every character (except maybe Eggman). I do indeed like this change for the 3 main characters (Sonic, Tails, Eggman) because they finally sound more lively and characteristic, whereas they used to sound kind of dull and robotic. Their voices sound to me close enough to how they used to. Like I mentioned though Eggman sounds the same but more lively, so I'm not sure if they did get a new person to play him.

For the other characters, however, I'm not so sure if I like this change. Shadow, Knuckies, and Rouge just don't sound themselves, although I didn't hear them say much. Vector and Charmy sound even more annoying in my opinion. The other characters I didn't notice much difference so I don't really care.

So just out of curiosity- was there a reason that the developers used a completely new voice acting cast?

-On a minor note, I'm glad that they didn't use the person who did Tails for Sonic Heroes. He sounded like Dora the Explorer. Gosh that was awful.
