... Oh wow.
I liked sonic Adventure, but I did not like Sonic 3D. Sega milked their blue hedgehog worse than mario way back when, don't forget that fun factoid. Some games were good, some weren't.. Some were.. Bizarre (sonic pinball?? Mean bean machine????) But the main sonic games were all well recieved until the ports to the gamecube. Maybe then because the technical awesomeness of the "new" dreamcast faded away and reviewers expected better gameplay/graphics? The games were aged somewhat by then. Then on, sonic team did jack shit to innovate their main series of sonic games, and the critics began to loathe the series more and more. The transition to 3D initially brought the franchise new life, but sonic team never did quite squash the gameplay bugs that had been nagging people for so long and decided to add stupid gimmicks instead to cover them up.
And it's still true to this day with unleashed and the "werehog" (LOL!) Who knows, maybe sega is just designing sonic for a young audience these days with these things. Certainly not what most longtime sonic fans have been wanting. |
The reviews of the ports were by different people. Way different people. And Sonic Adventure 2 Battle in less than a year after the original Sonic Adventure 2. And the Sonic Adventure games are forever perfect.
