A next-gen entry into the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise developed exclusively for Nintendo's Wii console. The title, purportedly developed by a "top-tier" SEGA team led by Yuji Naka, will not be a port of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game tentatively dubbed "Sonic the Hedgehog [next gen]." Instead, it is said to be an entirely original effort designed from the ground up to take advantage of Wii's unique controller.
Elise hasn't been forgotten, even after her infamous debut in Sonic '06.
Not all of the hero's adventures were up to speed.
Sonic '06 has a special place in my heart.
It's the game that finalized my divorce from the franchise. I actually really liked most of the 3D games before the PS3/X360 era with this steaming pile. It doesn't help that this was the game that gave me RRoD either.
There are many worse Sonic games than this one:
Sonic Labrynth
Sonic Free Riders
Sonic the Hedgehog on GBA
Sonic mobile games (too many to list)
Sonic Rivals 1 & 2
Sonic Game Gear titles
There's more I'm forgetting. But yeah, lazy low-hanging fruit, quickly shat out worthless article without substance beating a dead horse that's already been beaten for the past 17 years isn't enough.
Opinion piece.
And I would say that history tends to be lenient to games that aren't mainline titles and released on handhelds/secondary hardware (Kinect). We can easily acknowledge those games are bad, but you kind of expect it because they're either bad ports or spinoff titles.
As the first mainline game of gen 7, I can see some good arguments for this one being the worst.
Naoto Ohshima, the co-creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, shares the surprisingly surreal original idea that inspired the hit video game franchise.
"...the idea for the Sonic games started as a concept called Twin Stars, which was to take place in a dream-like world. It focused on twin brothers who save a dream world from an evil boss named Thirteen, who came from a world of nightmares."
Lame trailer, but the gameplays pretty sick
