As I’ve previously emitted I am a massive Sonic The Hedgehog fan, such a big fan that I struggled to look forward to the future when SEGA announced they were discontinuing there home consoles. ‘What will happen to Sonic’, ‘What crazy fast paced platformer do I play’ and ‘What the Hell had I done in a previous life to deserve this’, were but a few angry questions floating around in my 13 year old head. Sonic had always been there for me, when I was bored, when nothing new was out/or could afford.
So I have decided, in homage, to write this article about my top 5 Sonic The Hedgehog games and hope that you try them if you haven’t!
Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?
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.
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.
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
The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones
Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.
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 😭
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.
The popular Sega franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog, has been really successful in recent years, forging paths for the recent upcoming titles.
These sales surged by 150 million compared to last year.
we need a new sonic pinball, with boss battles / hidden stages / 1 sec load times
Definitely agreed. I loved Sonic Spinball back on Genesis. I want a new Mean Bean Machine too, while we're at it!
Still need to check out Frontiers at some point. Just waiting on a really good Steam sale for it.
No Sonic 2? C'mon...
sonic r was a HORRIBLE racing game lol.. So bad that it was fun.. I think every 2D sonic was awesome with the exception of the current gen sonic 4 variants.. 1,2,3, sonic & knuckles, & the gba versions were without a doubt the very BEST
I don't agree with that list and i am sure people won't agree with mine but here goes:
5 - Sonic CD
4 - Sonic Generations
3 - Sonic Heroes
2 - Sonic Adventure 2
1 - Sonic The Hedgehog 2006
