Probably a sign about its quality that it's never mentioned, eh?

Could be, or they're just in denial.

*Brodie* · 07-01-2009, 04:05 PM

I heard it was one of the worst Sonic games thus far. Where other sonic games give you some semblence of speed, this one requires you to stop......a lot....and fight....a lot....

*XERO* · 07-01-2009, 04:08 PM

What the hell...?

When did Sonic start a MMA career? Last I checked, that's why they made Knuckles.

*Samhain* · 07-03-2009, 06:22 PM

Loved the game when it first came out. 2 is the best. The music is awesome too.

The original Sonic was the only one I ever really got into. I never really played the others until I got my son the Sonic Mega Collection for PS2.

Im a casual sonic fan. the old Genesis games were fun even if they were horribly repetitive. I played Sonic Adventure 2 on Gamecube when it came out. I enjoyed it, but that was the extent of my Sonic game experience.

His games were just never as good as the main mario games. and Poor sonics game quality keeps dropping. When will sega learn?

your really lame.

I loved everything before 2003 but my favorite sonic game of all time was sonic blast for the game gear.

You were doing well until you said Sonic Blast. Henceforth, nothing else you say can possibly qualify as relevant. Cheerio sir.

**GK Punk** · 07-14-2009, 04:17 AM

Oh yeah, I was going to mention...

The other day me and a friend of mine were checking out the Sonic Genesis Collection on 360, and he mentioned to me that he had never been able to beat, or ever seen anyone complete Sonic 1.

For the first time since I was a kid, I tore through that game, and got every last chaos emerald and finished the game with out using a single continue. I was pretty proud of myself. I don't think even as a kid I was able to not use at least one continue.

Kickass, GK.

I remember how b*tchy that game could be, especially the final part in Labyrinth Zone Act 3. I always had trouble trying to keep up with Robotnik. But when I learned much later that you didn't have to kill him, I slapped myself and finally got through it.

Am I the only one who just got way too bored to beat a Sonic game? I play until I hit a level where you have to slow down and start trying to judge Sonic's sh*tty jumps, then I usually quit.

Heh, you pretty much described the Labyrinth Zone, because that's exactly what I did.

You think Sonic's jumps can be sh*tty, try playing Sonic 2 with Knuckles.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-16-2009, 04:04 AM

They all had their flaws, but Sonic 3 & Knuckles was pretty much perfection.

In other news, Yoshihisa Hashimoto (director of Sonic Unleashed) ditched and went to Square-Enix. That was pretty much the only semi-talented man left in Sonic Team. Now maybe Sega will do the right thing and farm Sonic out to third parties.

......yeah right. lol Glad I don't care anymore. Should be funnier to see how much worse they can get.

*XERO* · 07-16-2009, 04:33 AM

Alas, poor Sonic.

They should just have him in the next game going berserk and killing everyone in sight, call it Sonic FU.

At least he'd go out in style.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-16-2009, 05:26 AM

Meh. Honestly, after Shadow the Hedgehog, that doesn't seem so far fetched. I miss Sega.

*XERO* · 07-16-2009, 05:47 AM

Yeah, I know. Me, too.

*Prowler* · 07-16-2009, 03:55 PM

It's really sad to see Sonic becoming more of a joke every year. His "death" is one of the sadest things in video games history.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-16-2009, 04:13 PM

True, but I had to let it go. It just bothered me too much. Things will never get better as long as SegaSammy keeps making money, and their little tween furry fanbase will make sure of that.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-20-2009, 03:25 PM

Actually in the middle of Sonic The Hedgehog for 360 (aka Sonic Adventure 3, from what I've played of it). It's ok... about the same as the last few but with a worse camera. I'unno who they expect to play these, though... kids, ostensibly, since all the old-school fans except me seem to have moved on, but the aggravating repetition and ridiculous load times would send any child I know into fits. It's weird... a lotta the same annoying stuff from the original games is in there (spike balls outta nowhere, enemies that "hit" you when you're not quite touching them, blind superspeed jumps that toss you into oblivion), but back in the Genesis days it was forgiveable. Makes me wonder if it's someone's idea of a sick joke of an homage, keep everything about Sonic that ever pissed anyone off but add a camera you can barely control. I like that they're still trying new things, though... Silver's kinda fun, haven't played as Shadow yet. Just wish you could aim Silver's TK throw a LOT better....

Picked up Sonic Unleashed, too, since they were cheap. No idea when I'll get around to it.

*Ninjinister* · 07-20-2009, 03:30 PM

Unleashed is actually the one considered SA3, but I get your point.

*Spike Spiegel* · 07-21-2009, 02:33 PM

I like Sonic as a character, and I think the supposed atmosphere of the universe he inhabits is pretty damn cool (even though I thought "Sonic X" was a rather childish series). I don't go for the games, but he will always be one of the most interesting characters/ideas I've ever come across.

Even so, most of the recent games I've played starring him don't really do him justice. I prefer the ones I played in my childhood on the Genesis, etc. The last decent one I remember was on the Dreamcast...

And I actually thought Sonic Riders was going to be great, but it really sucked.
