Phil at SPC takes a look back at one of Sonic's slower-paced adventures with his retro review of Sonic 3D Blast.
Sonic the Hedgehog is turning 30 years old, and at this late stage in the character's life, it might be time to give up on that precious 3rd dimension.
Or maybe people should let Sonic evolve past 2D sprites. Stop holding the series back because you're nostalgic for the 90s.
Naw Sonic Unleashed had some amazing day time stages, Sonic Generations modern sonic was fantastic. Forces problem was lazy stages that took 2 seconds to beat and barely any skill past holding square. As long as they do it right modern sonic is fantastic.
2D sonic is great and mania is too. But sonic 4 ep1 was mehh, EP 2 was good though. But I'd play day time unleashed over it every time
I like both 2D and 3D sonic games. The original series, Generations, Mania (for 2D) and then of course Adventures, colors and Lost World (for 3D).
Or just literally steal what fans have been making, seriously there's like 4 fan made sonic games out there that play better than anything team sonic has made in years

It looks pretty good, but they should have included Flickies tailing you when you save them from Badniks. That was a huge part of the original game and without it, it makes this game look like just another 2D Sonic game.
In an interview, Traveller's Tales founder Jon Burton explains why he chose to create a director's cut of the game, Sonic 3D Blast, after 25 years.
I enjoyed 3D Blast even though it wasn't as good as the others. Also had to get used to the depth perception for jumping, and running around.
This game is so nostalgic for me, especially some of the music. Diamond Dust Zone!
