DragonKeeper, they started the trashing with Sonic 3D Blast. It was a horrible game and they even ported it to the Sega Saturn. Our next slap in the face was making Sonic R such a short game (it could've been one of the greatest racers). The final blow before they started hauling everything to the landfill, was scrapping Sonic Xtreme... and it's all downhill from there and its lifeless corpse is beaten to this day.

Sonic started to go south with the advent of Sonic Adventure. Granted, SA and its sequel are pretty good games, but they're nowhere near the 2D Sonics.

 

If I had to pick a 3D Sonic that I like, it would be Sonic Heroes.

Quoting this for truthiness. I don't mean to say that Sonic Adventure and beyond are absolutely horrible games or anything to that effect... but they ARE desecrating, what we thought was, the untouchable Sonic video game lineage. That's like all the sudden coming out with a 3D Metal Slug that's nothing like the old games (or it completely sucks, whatever)... it would mortify the SNK Playmore world. You know you're a real Sega/Sonic fan if you're offended by the current state of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. I know I am (both).

Dunno if you realised or not, but there is a 3d Metal Slug. Yes it does suck, but at least they went and made Metal Slug 6 afterward.

 

If they went back and made a decent 2d Sonic again, for the PSP maybe (I consider the Sonic Advance games trash) with all the old flavour, you can bet I'd be first in line for it.

Only reason I play the current games is because Sonic's on the damn box. The new "next-gen" Sonic was a waste of a buy, from now on I'm renting new Sonic releases.

That's exactly why they keep making Sonic related games, Davis -- because people will buy it because he's on the damn box. Not because it's a REAL Sonic game -- the Sonic games we know... not these atrocities.

Sonic heroes was probably the worst sonic game IVE ever played. Well maybe not the worst, but its up there. SA2 was the best 3D sonic IMO.

1. Sonic 3D Blast -- Lame concept for a game in the 16-bit era... and an even worse game to bring into the 32-bit world. Run around, find 5 birds, bring back to giant ring... repeat until eyes bleed.

2. Sonic Adventure -- Great game, but not really a "Sonic game" other than the characters, rings, and token island/casino/etc. areas.

3. Sonic Adventure 2 -- Let's make another one those 3D games and introduce new characters to attempt to see how much more we can milk this dying franchise.

4. Sonic Advance (series) -- Let's take the original Sonic game concept... throw in a ridiculous amount of characters, screw up the gameplay, and hope people buy it.

5. Sonic Rush -- Same as above.

6. Sonic Riders -- Let's make a ridiculously difficult racer and throw in a bunch of random ass characters and hope people buy it again.

7. Sonic Heroes -- Lost Vikings in 3D with Sonic characters... let's hope people buy it again.

 

You see where I'm going with this?

I didn't say it was great. I just liked the speed and the soundtrack. The control scheme is pretty bad.
