Gamers Temple: "While Super Sonic is chasing Eggman in what appears to be their final battle, Eggman manages to trap Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds. By firing a beam of reverse polarity Chaos Emerald energy at the planet, an evil being known as Dark Gaia is released from the planet's core through Eggman's scheme. While being trapped along with the Chaos Emerald's reverse polarity while the shot is fired, Sonic is now transformed into a Werehog at night. In order to restore the planet, Sonic must journey throughout the world and restore power to the Chaos Emeralds once again in order to bring the planet back together and stop the threat of Dark Gaia.
There are two stage types in Sonic Unleashed: Day stages and Night stages. Day Stages allow you to play with the normal blue Sonic the Hedgehog and these stages have a very traditional Sonic feel to them. The stages are showcased in full 3-D with a back view of Sonic as you race forward through the many obstacles. The sense of speed is showcased well as Sonic zips down a runway and, much like previous Sonic games, you can sort of let the game play itself as Sonic runs - up to a certain point of course. There are hardly any barriers that keep your Sonic from dashing frantically through the various levels. The game still sometimes switches the camera to the side of Sonic to showcase a side camera view that resembles a 2-D view reminiscent of the older Sega Genesis Sonic games."
Sonic The Hedgehog has had a long and storied history over the past decades, but which are the best Sonic games ever made?
If I have to read another one of these lists that contains the sentence "The game that started it all" I'm gonna go nuts.
And when it comes to fan favourite zones in Sonic 3 (he mentioned Hydro City, Marble Garden and Launch Base), I'd replace Launch base and Marble Garden with Ice Cap zone. Never heard anyone refer to the others as favourites.
I sorta' stopped caring about this list when I saw Sonic Spinball (a genuinely great game) ranked lower than some of the noted atrocities.
Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed is still my favorite kart racer.
I've never really been able to play online tho. D:
Can't even play Team Sonic Racing online cause the servers are broken and don't queue people together.
P.S. This is such a random list. I really don't agree with it. Maybe this really is how they rank it but them just seems odd personally.

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
