The Game Inquirer says: "So you can imagine my confusion and slight concern when I say that Sonic’s new adventure actually looks to offer a more interesting experience than the tried and tested, formulaic-looking Super Mario 3D World. That is in no way an insult aimed at either title though. Both games look like exceptionally good platformers and I can’t wait to play both, it’s just that 3D World appears to be taking the safer route which is disappointing especially when you consider the revolutionary changes made with Super Mario 64 and the epic Galaxy series. Sonic Lost World on the other hand looks to be doing exactly that by breaking new ground and offering plenty of new ideas for the series."
The writing duo behind Sonic games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World reveal they have little creative control over their game scripts.
They need to start letting people take inspiration from the comics, there's a ton of great stuff to take inspiration from.
Pretty much confirmed that SEGA controls everything about sonic no derivations fr
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
While a number of the games before it help influence Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Lost World acts as the blueprint for the game's open-zone design.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "I’m a huge fan of the series and love to talk about its best games… but its hard to argue that it’s all been great for the blue blur. From games that were loaded with glitches, slow-paced gameplay, and visuals that look more like a blue blur of… pixels and polygons. So, take this as a warning to avoid these 10 worst Sonic games of all time."
Never played any of these on this list, surprised Sonic R isn't there, but then i played that on my first PC and didn't think it was that bad, got some mild enjoyment out of it at least.
Lost World, Black Knight, Forces and Chronicles should not be on that list, I can easily think of worse.
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Eraser, Sonic R, these are all way worse than the games on this list. Knuckles Chaotix was terrible as well, I hated the way you had to control the players, it was a pain in the ass. Even games like Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball and Rivals 1 and 2 which I thought were decent were worse than some of the games on this list.
To be brutally honest, most of the Game Gear and Master System Sonic games are pretty awful too. Sonic Chaos on the Game Gear for example, you can't even see what you are doing because the field of view is so bad.
I would rather play Sonic 06 than any of the games I listed above, and that game is classed as the worst Sonic game of the lot.
People have nostalgia glasses on when they think about old 2D Sonic games. Outside of the mainline games on the Mega Drive, most of them were worse than the modern day 3D games.
There is definitely some worse games than Lost World,
The guy who wrote this definitely didn't dig enough into the franchise history haha
General question.
Is your favorite Sonic game the first one you played?
If not, is you favorite the same style as your first? (3D, 2D, some other distinction?)
I disagree with Sonic Forces on that list but the others are correct.
Sonic Forces is hella under rated.
It really did. While we still don't know how good Sonic Lost Worlds is yet, It was a great surprise. Mario 3D World is just Mario 3D Land for the Wii U, and while it's not bad at all, it was a disappointment since I think everyone was expecting something epic like Mario Galaxy.
It is really good to see good Sonic games making a comeback, even if it's taking time, I believe Sonic will find the right formula for a great game.
Side note; Have you noticed that PS4 right now is the only console without 3rd party exclusive game? Nintendo has Sonic from Sega and Monster Hunter from Capcom. Microsoft has Ryse from Crytek, and Sony nothing. No 3rd party exclusive.
I'm getting that nostalgia feeling tickling up my 1990's arm. The Wii U is getting excellent games. Sega and Nintendo for the win.:0)
Looks good but i'm still waiting for Sonic Adventure 3
Let's be honest. Smb 2 is the best game with Mario in the title. It is not traditional Mario but a fantastic game full of secret doors and rooms etc... Grabbing and throwing came from that game. The different play styles for characters came from that game. Doors and keys came from that game etc... Smb 2' influence cannot be denied. So I am happy to officially state I will buy a Wii u for this Mario and mk8. That being said I hope sonic is great because I love the series. It does LOOK better however I haven't played it yet.
