Sonic has had quite a turbulent history. Sonic quickly garnered popularity during the days of 2D gaming, then swiftly lost it during the switch to three dimensions. As part of his 20th anniversary, Sega has decided to not only acknowledge Sonic’s numerous faults, but celebrate them in Sonic Generations.
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?"
What a downer. I was hoping for at least a 4/5. I haven't been impressed at all with Sonic games since Dreamcast.
Looks like Sonic is starting to get back into the game finally. Their last few games were complete disasters.
20 years! dang, makes me feel old
I spent many an hour playing this game as a kid
Speaking of Sonic 2D gaming, where is Sonic 3D!?
