UM writes: Since the Dreamcast gasped its last breath SEGA has been spotty at best. For every triumph there are countless failures. The company’s mascot has been reduced to an internet meme, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Let me be honest with everyone here for a second. I loved SEGA. I’ve owned very extensive libraries of games for the Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast. Growing up in Canada I had to order a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Saturn over the phone from California the day it released. This company has meant a lot to me throughout my life and I still have it to thank for sinking it’s hooks into me when it comes to gaming. It hurts to see a once creative giant hit new lows year after year, but I believe it’s reached rock bottom with Sonic Boom.
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.
Sonic 1 & 2 on the MS2 and GG were great games. Perfect blend of speed, secrets and challenge.
Sonic Chaos was shite. Too easy and gross looking sprites and backgrounds.
imo 1-10 for worst Sonic games would just be all the 3D one's and Sonic Fighters.
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?)
My favorite game is not the first one I played. (First one I played was Sonic The Hedgehog on Megadrive/Genesis)
My favorite one is probably 3&K or Mania, so yes it is in the same style as the first game I played.
My favourite Sonic game is not the first one I played or same style.
The first Sonic game I played was Sonic 1 on the Mega Drive, my favourite is Sonic Adventure 2.
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.
Isn't this a bit late?
Yes. Them and Capcom.
This article is like 14 years later.
Sega announced their exit from the hardware business late 2000, early 2001 I believe.
Can't believe it's already been that long :(
*tear*
