"At this week’s GameStop Expo, I got the chance to pick up and play the new 3D Sonic the Hedgehog adventure game, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. This is a bit of a different take on the blue blur. The game has a heavier focus on brawling, melee combat and 3D adventure exploration. The demo play was more comparable to the Jak & Daxter series than previous iterations of the Sonic franchise. Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric is a prequel to the upcoming, new animated series Sonic Boom, which will air on Cartoon Network later this year."
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.
With Nintendo Switch doing better by the day, Screen Critics looks back at the absolute worst of third party games from Wii U.
Article says it's about third party Wii U games, yet Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival & Pokemon Rumble U are on this list.
one of the worst Wii U games I've ever played was Deus Ex. It's not by any means a terrible game, but the Wii U port was a massive disappointment with a weird control scheme and an abysmal framerate of like 20fps at best.
It's crazy how hard Devil's Third tanked. Don't think Itagaki's going to really recover from that one.
These villains are so bad…and not in a good way. Join WatchMojo as they countdown their picks for the Top 10 Worst Villains In Video Games.
Good article. Sonic Boom sounds like a great adventure game. I'm excited to pick this up.
Hope so. Sonic fans deserve it. They've been very patient.
WTF? I hit reply not add comment....
