Does no one remember Sonic Rivals on PSP? I loved that game. NO one talks about it...ever.

It wasn't really a sonic game though, it was more like a racing game. Although it's still better than a lot.

dcj05243826d ago

That game was so much fun! I want a 3D sequal on VITA with sonic unleashed/generations controls.

Replace Sonic Colours with Sonic Generation and Sonic 4 Episode II with Sonic Adventure 2.

Sonic Rush AS number 1? And Advance as number 2?

Yeah I'd put Sonic Adventure 2 or Generations at 1.

2. Sonic Adventure 1

3. Sonic CD (if you dont want to count it, Sonic Colors Wii Only)

4. Sonic 4 Episode 2

5. Sonic 2006 (hahaha jks, Sonic Advance)

The 7 Best Sonic the Hedgehog Games: Racing through Time

Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?

Rebel_Scum70d ago

Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.

Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.

Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Snookies1270d ago

Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.

Profchaos70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.

Mania was 5 hours roughly

However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short

Profchaos70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones

Rebel_Scum70d ago

Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.

Profchaos70d ago

Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2

Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭

Chocoburger69d ago

Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.

Sonic Game Writers Had ‘Very Little Say’ On Story Scripts

The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.

-Foxtrot90d ago

They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.

phoenixwing88d ago

My beef is why even hire writers if you're just going to control the whole process. I'd be very upset as a writer if someone did that. A job is a job though.

DarXyde88d ago

Performative for optics, I would think.

It's like the US Congress holding a vote to "denounce the evils of socialism." It literally did absolutely nothing about anything and was a complete waste of everyone's time (and tax dollars—which is its own irony, by the way)

Dumbest thing in the world, but if you hire writers, it looks like you made a serious effort to make something great.

Do you remember when the original Suicide Squad movie was coming out? How much did we hear about Killer Croc's actor watching cannibal videos to get into character? Or even the "incredible lengths" Jared Leto went through to personify Joker on and off set?

It looks better when people think you're taking it seriously.

XiNatsuDragnel89d ago

Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr

Profchaos89d ago

Nothing new sonic forces was meant to be far darker then sega got cold feet and they did the same old power of friendship ending

Sonic Colors on Nintendo DS - The Sister Release Also Worthy of a Remaster

The Wii release of 2010's Sonic Colors received a remake for modern consoles, but what about the Nintendo DS sister title?

ZeekQuattro254d ago

Back in the day you would get cases every now and then where the handheld version of a game was better. Chrono Trigger DS comes to mind. Not only did it have the cut-scenes from the PS1 release it also had new content that tied into Chrono Cross.
