Sonic games in the past were about pure speed and now they having you findind stuff and have like 6 extra characters that no one cares about.

Sonic and the secret rings isn't like that.

 Sonic and the secret rings is probably a good attempt to recapture teh original feel of teh game, but the control style really introduced some major frustrations. It took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to jump over a wide gap, and that was even with teh damn thing giving me the tutorial.

 I think the biggest complaint was in the fact that you could back up, but you couldn't TURN AROUND



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Well I don't quite mean this in a way as an insult to any particular person but my taste's in gaming moved on from simple platforming to more detailed story's and stuff. The first game I ever played on the NES was Final Fantasy, then Zelda, I tried playing Mario and just never got the point, I thought the whole rescue the princess from a Giant Turtle was stupid :/ I never found the magic I suppose.

Then my friend talked about Sonic the hedgehog!!! So I went into the experience with an open mind and learned that I'm a blue hedgehog who's following a platforming path that play's itself most of the time, to get to a fat guy who's in a machine so I can kill him and rescue.... forest animals >_>;;;; Then all my memories of Mario shot back into my head and kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. It's not an attack at the game, more or less just my taste in games. I really don't get Nintendo or Sega :/


Meh what did you wanted at that time?

A Kamikazekoala who is shooting people and kill the endboss with the final blow KAMIKAZE attack?

^^''


 Well more or less of a feel of the character :P I play Mario and Sonic and I dont ever quite feel like they belong in the game, I mean hell, Donkey Kong Country, Your an Ape, your seeing to rid yourself of whatever's killing your Jungle, you collect Banannas, and your setting... is a Jungle. It all makes sense!!!!

Mario is a plumber... who's saving princesses in castles, who were abducted by turtles who command hordes of goombas (wtf?) and you kill them off by eating mushrooms and jumping on them... (does acid come with the game before I play it? ) Same with Sonic!! I'm a blue hedgehog that fights things by running real fast :D I go from jungle stages to lava pits, to city's submerged in water! WTF is going on! I can't build an understanding on these characters to save my life LOL



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

the same problems with 3d sonics can be applied to 3d mega man games

¿Do you want to make me cry?

 

 

So true...

@Xeo_842

It's more of how a STELLAR & BRILLIANT franchise got turned into crappy games that just aren't fun and don't live upto the name of Sonic

When something you expect to be BRILLIANT disappoints you, HATE come naturally

example - NFS --- why so much hate...because of disappointment, in Ps1 days NFS was STELLAR, come PS2 days n it got really crap

Tomb Raider ---- Why is it now being hated n ignored -- disappointment

PS1 games were BRILLIANT..come ps2 they got crap.

The only real bad non spin-off sonic game would be Sonic the Hedgehog for PS3/360. Even I didn't like that game much. Shadow the Hedgehog would be the second worst. Anyway I think Sega is experimenting with different things for sonic games. Such as guns in Shadow the hedgehog and teams in Sonic Heroes. Just noticed that.

Bet with OriGin: Within 1 year Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be ahead of Mario Kart Wii (when aligning the one whole year from each region). 2 week ban from Vgchartz for the loser. Edit: Darn! Looks like OriGin will win.

 Need for speed?  Many people loved the NFS games on PS2..

And about Tomb Raider...She is back...Legend/Annivarsary are almost great games.

So what is it that makes a sonic game good?

Four simple things:

1. Speed

2. Sonic

3. Tails

4. More speed

Sega seems to have forgotten this.

Sonic never transitioned to 3d very well like Mario did. Most 3d Sonic games are unplayable because (super fast +3D = frustrating)
