With Sonic the Hedgehog making his big splash on the silver screen today, we thought we’d take a look back at some of the Blue Blur’s most memorable modern appearances in video games.
What are the best titles to feature the Blue Blur?
Good list. Personally I’d probably trade the Sonic CD game in this list for Sonic the Hedgehog (1), simply because CD is quite easy so you’ll blast through it, and the original Sonic was basically a new benchmark when it was released which blew everything and everyone at the time away. It also features my favorite zone, Starlight Zone.
I really hope one day we’ll be blessed with a Sonic Mania 2.
Yeah, the first game will always be a classic, but I believe Sonic 2 and 3 moved the chains for the series quite a bit. Sonic CD definitely innovated as well, particularly with its amazing soundtracks and 3D bonus stage. :D
R was one of my first PC games along with Worms 2 and some others like Virtual Springfield. R was kind of good in a strange way i guess, i didn't hate it at the time.
Sonic CD was decent but I'd say i liked the music more, at least for the JP/EU version, some of the levels felt a bit all over the place and most of the bosses were odd and a bit too easy. Even though the system was a flop too it did have some very good games like Final Fight also which had some great music.
My top top5 (After mid 2000's sadly I stopped playing sonic)
Sonic 2
Sonic adventure
Sonic & Knuckles
sonic cd
Sonic 3
Honorable Mentions: Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine,Sonic Spinball
1. Sonic adventure 2
2. Sonic rush
3. Sonic unleashed ( day time stages)
4. Sonic generations
5. Sonic advance 2
Good picks! But...SA 2 kinda fell backward on those digging segments. Great rap song tho!
Phil at SPC writes, "Whether 2D or 3D, Nintendo systems are generally the home to the highest number of platformers. With this in mind, the Nintendo Switch continues this trend, which makes choosing ten platformers for one "best of" list--again, whether 2D or 3D--that much more of a difficult task to do! Even when it's on an unordered list such as this, selecting ten out of the countless excellent platformers on the Switch proved to be quite the herculean task. For this edition of The Tuesday 10s, SuperPhillip Central lists just a sampling of the greatest platformers on the Nintendo Switch with only one real caveat: a limit of one game per series on this list. Otherwise, our main man Mario would hog a lot of the spots here."
Sonic the Hedgehog is an icon for a reason! He's had some fantastic games. These are some of the best ones.
From the lack of replies I can deduce that you haven't actually played the game. Checks out. It's the best Sonic game ever made.
I really liked sonic Boom after the patch. Sonic Lost World is really fun too minus the crappy random world design choices. It really wanted to be Super Mario Galaxy on speed but it failed mostly. I think Sonic adventure is WAY better than Adventure 2.
