Sonic Boom? Flop

Sonics future? It should be pretty simple but sega made the same mistake Bandai made with the digimon franchis; they've allowed more diversity then their competitor (mario/pokemon) which is good, but they let it go too far and failed to stick to a core gameplay exprience.

Sonic should exist in 2 states: Classic 2D sonic for handhelds and Digital only releases whilst we get the Sonic Adventure series released at retail for console. Sonic Adventure is one of those games that at the time was appreciated but aged horribly. Instead of panicing an releasing a completely unrecognisable sonic game each year they should have focused on perfecting the gameplay; managing speed versus control, adventure vs platforming... Instead they've been all over the place.

I agree. SEGA panicked after Sonic 06, but it wasnt the developers fault. They just rushed the game out in an alpha/beta state. But that game had the right idea in terms of design in gameplay. It just wasnt polished yet.

I am an original Sonic fan, so i wont say that i especially like Sonic boom, but i understand it for what it is and i dont think its a bad game.
