Sonic Games are met with unfair bias

Look. You're so biased against Sonic that you didn't even mention Sonic and the Black Knight.

Seriously though, there is some truth to what Majin says. It seems as though Sega feels that they have to have a gimmick in order to sell their game. Sonic Unleashed was great except for the horrible Werehog levels which were in over half of the game and in Sonic and the Black Knight they felt the need to give him a sword. Now I am as big a Sonic fan as any and did enjoy those two games, but they would have been much better if the gimmicks didn't exist.

Mario does stuff like this, and it isn't as much of an issue at all.  Ok, it isn't done to the same extent as you have with Sonic, but still Mario goes all over and does sports and also adds new play mechics and so on.  It is entirely possible with Sonic that Sonic's character isn't one you can add a bunch of stuff to.  Sonic is a fairly simple character with speed as the main attraction.  Have him do more and it turns people off.
