The sole fighting game on my list is 'SoulCalibur'. This is still the best fighting game ever made as far as I'm concerned. The game was years beyond its time. The Dreamcast was a good console, with some great games, of which a few I have featured in this list. These games made it so we would never get a PlayStation 2. The highest selling of all time, a console I've never even seen in real life. There just didn't seem to be a point when Dreamcast could already have games as great and gorgeous as this. This game was at the forefront of the thought, and it was a popular game for a time in my family extended circle of friends. We'd hold competitions and specifically had people over to play with. There haven't been many games that brought people around me together in such a game, but SoulCalibur was one of them.

#27: When you're done collecting everything, you can do everything again while controlling your character's brother.

Supa Mario Galaxy

Sonic Colours, one of my favourites

Supaplex, seemed familiar so I googled it, turns out it isn't anything I knew about. But I do like some Boulder Dash, so I'd probably enjoy this too.

28. Sonic Mania

First Played: 2017

Times Completed: 10+

I'm a longtime fan of Sonic games and enjoy almost all of them to some extent, so I knew I'd enjoy this. What I wasn't prepared for was just how much it would grab me. I had a blast my first time through, but then I immediately went back for more, completing it several more times with different characters/abilities and doing all the bonus games. Not many games can completely occupy my spare time like this one did.

Widescreen is such an improvement to old Sonic stages, allowing you to see more of the oncoming level. The game consists of several new and several returning stages, from Sonic 1-3+CD. Returning stages have a fairly faithful first act, with some changes made, while Act 2 is completely new. The new stages are so well designed that I wish the whole game was entirely new, but I can accept some reuse here.

If I had to pick a favourite type of Special Stage, I'd be stuck between these new ones and the Blue Sphere ones from Sonic 3. Luckily this game has both. I like the choice to appeal to another old graphical style, with this primitive 3D polygonal look. I would happily play a new game that looked like this. In the main game, the sprite based levels are gorgeous and look like an idealised version of the classic 16-bit Sonic titles. Looking the part wouldn't be good enough though and thankfully these levels are as well designed as the best levels Sonic has ever dashed through. Even after multiple playthroughs, I doubt I've seen everything yet.

I can only hope a sequel is in the works, but even if it never comes to fruition, I know I'll be happy replaying this for years to come!

Correto!

#28 - Sonic Colors/Colours (Wii): I had played some Sonic games for Wii. While they were not bad games at all, I was also expecting something more traditional for Sonic.

Sonic Colors did almost everything right: The gameplay is simple, yet addicting, the Wisp powers are fun to use, the challenge is on spot, and the graphics and soundtrack are both great considering the Wii hardware.

No doubt, the best Sonic game for Wii, and one of my favorites.

Yeah, Supaplex is correct.

#29 Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (Unguessed):

My hints for this one were vague at best. The reason they were given is because of how memorable the scenes actually are.

This game is very special as we play as Phoenix Wright's favorite rival in a completely new perspective, meet a lot of fantastic characters and face against a very memorable side villain. This game also improves on existing characters and the lore quite a bit. Gripping from start to finish.

#28 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Guessed by S.Peelman):

We enter the charming, beautiful little world of Termina. As far as atmosphere goes, this game is king. Also, one of the very best water powerups in the series. We have a true winner.

#27 Donkey Kong Country Returns (Guessed by TruckOSaurus):

Who'd have thought! DK is back! And this game is as joyous as ever. I appreciate how much care went into making the world feel alive and the extreme attention to detail. 2D Platformers can indeed be complex and have a ton of effort put into them.

#26
Easy hint: You play inside a monster, and as the monster himself.

#25
The funny thing is the final villain was the cause of his own death. Despite him poisoning all those people and not even being breakfast, he was going to be forgiven.

#24
The collectibles in this game sometimes are real life objects. Could this mysterious planet full of dangers once have been Earth?
