"Let’s face it, Sonic has had a mixed (to put it nicely) library of games. Starting life as a genuine threat to Mario’s title of platformer king, Sonic quickly descended into a disappointing leading franchise for a failing console made by a troubled developer. While there have been ups over the years (Sonic Adventure), there have been equally disappointing moments (such as Sonic The Hedgehog), so the concept behind Sonic Generations is one fans should approach with lukewarm anticipation; a game that actually celebrates Sonic’s twenty years in gaming by revisiting all the past games… all of them, even the ones that left a bad taste in our mouths."
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.
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 😭
The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.
BLG writes: "With the success of the films and the promise of Frontiers, it’s possible that we’re ushering in a new golden age of Sonic the Hedgehog. While Sega is looking forward, the company is also looking back. It’s giving us Sonic Origins, a retooled collection of Genesis classics. However, this package fails to provoke a burning question: what’s the best Sonic handheld game?"
