A game series that can go through more than three of four iterations without losing at least some of the magic that made the first couple of titles such classics is a rare thing. A steady decline as a series goes on is common, but some series don’t just gently decline, they dive-bomb in a most spectacular fashion. Here’s five of the worst…
The popular Sega franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog, has been really successful in recent years, forging paths for the recent upcoming titles.
These sales surged by 150 million compared to last year.
we need a new sonic pinball, with boss battles / hidden stages / 1 sec load times
Definitely agreed. I loved Sonic Spinball back on Genesis. I want a new Mean Bean Machine too, while we're at it!
Still need to check out Frontiers at some point. Just waiting on a really good Steam sale for it.
Elise hasn't been forgotten, even after her infamous debut in Sonic '06.
Without looking..........Sonic is #1 it must be. He once had a plot with real humans lol
I wonder why sonic is on there. It's not like Sega beats the series like a dead horse or anything.....
Great list!
Sonic had a plot? I vaguely remember Mobius, Dr. Robotnik (as I shall always call him) and various other plot elements from the comics, like Tails being the chosen one of a race of foxes or something.
just a comment,
I used to like to play Tony Hawk...but they should have stopped at 2. Theres only so many times you can grind a rail or do tricks before it gets old. I know they did downhill something or other,but come on...its skate boarding...start a new franchise...or bring back skate or die...that was a game I could see a million sequels too...it took your average skateboarding and turned it into something interesting that had character.
