Sonic is the best games character ever

On the day that Sonic The Hedgehog turns 20, ONM readers have been leaving their tributes to the blue blur.

Mario is the best

[Emilio_Estevez]

idk who is the best, but it's not sonic at all. No way.

[tigertron]

aaaaand its the 90s again!

but seriously, if people think Sonic is the best games character ever then I won't argue with that. Sonic is a big franchise with a big fan base (that Sega seems to be abusing these days). However, Sonic isn't my personal favourite, but I do regard myself as a fan.

Sorry,Big Boss is the best games character ever.

[SpartanZero]

Master Chief is the best he has the best line ever "Boo"

[Titanz]

And I much as I appreciate "the blue blur", it isn't him.

[blackburn10]

Ummmm. No he isn't. Sonic is the most SHALLOW character ever. Sony's big 3, Jax, Sly and Ratchet have more personality and heart then Mario and Sonic combined.

[AWBrawler]

Mario has way more personality without even really talking. I'm sure if you take a vote from every gamer alive, Mario will win by a long shot, though I would actually vote Sonic

[Venoxn4g]

1. Snake
2. Mario
3. Samus

[Ser]

I agree with your list! Except for Samus, I'd probably throw in Jax from Jax and Daxter at #3.

[Miiikeyyy]

It's Jak, not jax

[Ser]

Yeah, I just realized that. I've been playing too much Mortal Kombat...

I typed the "X" subconsciously. lol

[JellyJelly]

Duke Nukem (pre failure), G-Man in Half-Life, GLaDOS, Mario, Scorpion (most bad ass ninja) etc.

There are tons of great game characters. I wonder if they meant to write platformer characters?

[SKUD]

WAS. Now just a dead horse SEGA LOOOOOOOOOVES TO BEAT ON.

[mttrackmaster38]

No

[meganick]

Definitely not Sonic. My pick is Mega Man.

[Masamori Sumimura]

lol at peole throwing snake in there. f1ck outta hea

[fei-hung]

I would say he is amongst the best Mascots out there, but I think what takes him above and beyond MArio is, regardless of how crap his recent games have been, Sonic has always had support and a strong following. Not many characters out there can go trough as much shit as Sonic and still come out on top. Look at Crash, Spyro, Brink the Cat to name some. When their games went down, they went down with it.

Sonic has reached legendary status. U can knock him all u like, he will keep coming back for more and we will always have hope he will return.

the old dante

[megalonagyix]

Gordon Freeman

[Miiikeyyy]

Sonic? I'd rather go with Nathan Drake cus he's such a likeable, believale character. Or scorpion cus he's just so awesome.

[CDbiggen]

You guys are all wrong. Phoenix Wright FTW!

[gumgum99]

I can see why others would disagree. Nothing wrong with that. I do prefer Sonic though as a character. There are other favorites I have as well, however.

This article makes sense to me...
