TGH Writes: Sonic The Hedgehog is one of the most well known video game characters, ever since his first appearance back in 1991. The 2D Mega Drive era Sonic games are loved by many, but the 3D titles have suffered with only two or three decent games releasing in the series. This year for Sonics 20th anniversary Sega decided to look back on the old days of Sonic, bringing back classic levels and remaking them in 2D and 3D. The big question is, is this the Sonic game that fans have been waiting for, or is it just another disappointing entry in the series?
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?"
I must say Sega really nailed it with this Sonic Generations! I loved it! The only 2 flaws I PERSONALLY saw with the game are:
A) Too short
B) Voice of Sonic changed
I was playing Sonic Unleashed not too long ago and thought "Man, I am going to miss that iconic voice! :("
great game!
only complaints are the lack of levels, and Modern sonic should have Full 3D parts, no switch to a 2D plane, i know thats how sonic unleashed was, but i feel like with classic sonic in if you want that 2D plane play they should have made modern sonic purely like the adventure games
