Thinking of picking up Sonic Generations, but need about seventeen more screenshots to seal the deal? Rejoice! Sega has answered your hypothetical prayers in the form of ten new images for the 3DS version, and seven more for its PS3 and Xbox 360 counterparts. Let the discreet at-work browsing commence!

The snapshots were released to drum up excitement for the game's arrival on November 1 (November 22 on 3DS). The game will star different versions of Sonic (spanning his 20 year career) who band together to patch up a broken timeline and save their various furry friends. It'll be filled with recognizable levels inspired by the games of Sonic's past such as Green Hill (Sonic the Hedgehog), Casino Night (Sonic the Hedgehog 2), Rooftop Run (Sonic Unleashed), and Planet Wisp (Sonic Colors). Here's a fun game: see if you can spot the familiar locales in the ten 3DS and seven PS3/Xbox 360 pics below...
