When it came down to coming out with a new Sonic title to celebrate the blue mascot’s 20 year anniversary, SEGA made the smart choice in making a game that revisits some of Sonic’s most memorable moments in the franchise. Sonic Generations is more than just another Sonic game. It is the celebration of Sonic’s long history. In the game, Modern Sonic, that is the taller, thinner and green-eyed Sonic with a love of grinding rails, gets transported back in time and meets his older, shorter, rounder self. Together they take on two decades of HD remakes of the most standout moments in the Sonic franchise.
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.
Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.
I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.
Mania was 5 hours roughly
However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short
The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones
Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.
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 😭
Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.
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.

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?"
looks like someone @ sega finally read a msg board on the internet, game looked great.
I liked colours for the DS, maybe sega are on a roll. I'll keep an eye on this game, anyway.
finally a good game seem after sonic adventures 2 everything went down hill(excluding colours) it seems.
Sonic Adventure 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. (not just the game but memories that go along with it) So I was thrilled when I saw that at least City Escape WITH the theme is making it into the game. WOO!
Im just waiting to see some gameplay from a warehog or talking to villagers. lol, i hope that never comes and this can be good and they KEEP it that way.
