It also has ridiculously crunchy music of the kind that only really the Mega Drive could deliver.ġ1.
TOP 10 SONIC 3D FAN GAMES SERIES
The series was always based on pinball anyway, so a pinball adventure game makes perfect sense. Sonic hasn’t had the greatest luck with spin-offs just look at his poor, god-forsaken attempt at a Mario Party clone - a game so bad it makes Mario Party look like a masterpiece. One game made it, however, and it’s a good’un: Sonic Spinball. In the nineties, there were a number of attempts by Sega of America to make a Sonic game of their own - most of them ultimately aborted, including the infamous Sonic X-Treme on Saturn. This plays much the same, thus filing them all together. Rounding out this group is one original game that plays much the same as the other two, but is unique to those platforms entirely. This pair is well worth a look as a historical curiosity alone - but they’re also fun. Both are great Sonic games in their own right, though they’re absolutely more traditional platformers, with less opportunities for speed and less physics-based antics. Sonic’s pinball-like gameplay and super speed was designed to showcase things that the Mega Drive could do better than the SNES, even - but as company mascot, Sonic also saw versions of his early games on weaker systems.Įnter the Master System and Game Gear versions of Sonic 1 and 2, which have broadly the same themes but also are fairly unique, with different zones, bosses, and music. Sonic was of course created to market the Mega Drive and give Sega a fighting chance against Nintendo. Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2 GG/MS, Sonic Chaos All three Advance games are decent while flawed, and crucially paved the way for the superior Sonic Rush titles on DS.ġ3. When the time came for Sonic to grace Nintendo systems at last, the first all-new game from the blue blur to hit Mario’s neighbourhood was Sonic Advance - which gives this little trilogy huge historical significance if nothing else.īeyond that, however, all three Sonic Advance games are strong 2D platformers that make a concerted effort to translate the Sonic Adventure style of play back into 2D - making its gameplay an adaptation of an adaptation that inevitably doesn’t have much in common with the Mega Drive titles. Worth this placement for its music alone, Sonic R is hardly Mario Kart, and it certainly isn’t as good as Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing and its sequel (absent from this list for more being Sega games than Sonic games), but it’s an admirable Sonic racing game that actually keeps the characters (mostly) on foot, as they should be in this series. It might be last on this list, but Sonic R is great - remember, there’s a whole shed-load of Sonic games that didn’t make the list at all. Don’t get mad if you disagree, go disagree in the comments respectfully, yeah? Grab a chilli dog and settle in - cos here comes the list. Anything not included in this list… we consider worse than everything else on this list. There’s only one way to find out! A list! And by find out, I mean for us to tell you our picks for the top fifteen Sonic games. He has as many hits as he has… well, add a letter to the word hits, yeah? There’s a lot of rubbish on Sonic’s resume. In many ways, those communities set me on the path to do this job, where I’m lucky enough to think and write about video games all the time. The first online gaming communities I fell into, before I was even in my teens, were Sonic communities. Sonic was my first true video game obsession - the games, the cartoons (especially Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, the slapstick Looney Tunes style one), and the comic books. Today marks thirty years of Sonic the Hedgehog, one of the most influential and important games in history and the genesis of a hugely important series to me personally.
