Disasterpiece is a recurring feature in which the 2D-X staff admits to loving truly highly suspect games. This time around, Isaac Rouse takes a complete dump on Sonic Adventure 2, a title that remains in his top 10 favorite games of all time to this day.
Sonic Frontiers has won over Japan after years of poor sales.
For someone like me that started playing games at late 90s it was heartbreaking to see what happened to SEGA. Good to hear this because how things were going in the last years for them. I remember the time when they closed a lot of arcades in Japan. Or even when Microsoft almost bought them several years ago.
I have a feeling the sales will drop a ton the next week since everyone figured out it's barebones and a technical mess. Hype and name brand can only get you so far.
I wanted to like this game but they did everything possible to disappoint. Maybe they can use this as a stepping stone for a future title, but so far this isn't it.
For over thirty years, Sonic the Hedgehog has provided memorable video game music and brought many artists from around the world together.
Phil writes, "Today, June 23rd, 2021, is Sonic the Hedgehog's 30th anniversary. 30 years ago today in 1991 a blue hedgehog named Sonic took the gaming world by storm with a spin dash, a too-cool-for-school attitude, and a hankering for chili dogs. SPC celebrates the occasion with a special top ten list, presenting the site's picks for the very best of the Blue Blur's biggest and boldest titles. After you've checked out the picks here, which Sonic games would you select as your personal favorites?"
wheres sonic 06 lol. I know im in the minority but if you can look past all the glitches I actually liked the game.
I have played the game more than I'm willing to admit. Even beat all the DLC as well, and nearly S ranked everything including the DLC.
The game had good graphics for the time, and a fantastic soundtrack. If only it had an extra year of development it could have been a decent game. People keep harping on the kiss at the end of the game as if its a big deal. It really isn't (people kiss their cats and dogs all the time, and no one freaks out about that).
They try extra hard to hate on the game, and while it does have a multitude of unacceptable flaws and had serious development issues (Yuji Naka quit SEGA early on during the project which definitely caused some internal struggles at Sonic Team), there are some positive aspects about the game that people don't give it credit for.
Hmmm, this is kinda cheating, but I would rate Sonic 3 & Knuckles as #1, rather than having the two games separately occupy #2 and #3.
That was literally the only game I played for YEARS.
In any order
Sonic Adventure 1
Sonic Adventure 2
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Shuffle
Sonic Generations
Sonic Lost World
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic CD
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Technically speaking? Yes, but it's just so dang good at the same time... Oh how I wish for an Adventure 3...
Maybe by today's standards, but I LOVED it when I had a Dreamcast.
yo this was like the greatest game of all time during the gen and I still think its better then most games and especially with all the chao's it was so fun.
WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING????
Goes without saying, surely? Even at the time of picking up my Dreamcast (day 1), I purchased this (well, Sonic Adventure) and SoulCalibur, it doesn't take a detective to figure out which of the above games got played most. It was ok-ish, enough to make me buy Sonic Adventure 2 - this time on my now Gamecube, nothing much had really improved.
Even Sonic Colours, a game I own for my Wii and one of the better Sonic 2D/3D games - if we are being honest - is good at best, nothing above that level. I own Sonic Collection for my Gamecube also and that is the goto game if ever I want some Sonic fun.
