The lack of Sonic 1 on that list is highly irritating.

 

[Punished Miku]

1. Sonic Colors
2. Sonic Generations
3. Sonic 2
4. Sonic 1
5. Sonic Adventure
6. Sonic the Fighters
7. The rest.

Frontier has a pretty high chance of being in the top 3 for me.

Aside from Rush and Adventure 2, the list seems ok.

The lack of Sonic 1 on that list is highly irritating.

Sonic 1 is fine, but the level design is more based on slow platforming than 2 & 3.

Aside from Rush and Adventure 2, the list seems ok.

I think those two are fine (though SA2 is overrated), but personally I also would've skipped Colors and CD too and instead put Adventure 1, Heroes and Advance 3 instead.

generations?? WHAHHA fuck off holy shit man

it's sonic 1 2 3&K mania and the rest is shit

 

[Romulus]

I thought it would be difficult to name 10 really good sonic games in the first place. Maybe 5

 

[StateofMajora]

Sonic unleashed on Wii is the best 3d game. The HD versions were crap

 

[It's all in the wrist]

1. Mania
2. The original 3 games
3. Radical Highway and City Escape from Adventure 2.

Those were the times I had fun playing Sonic games.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

Happy to see Colors and Unleashed on there

 

[Captain Toad]

I've tried so many times to like Sonic. I just don't. Strangely, the only one I really got into was Sonic 4 - and I'm told it's the bad one.

 

[ZoolNL]

The GBA and Nintendo DS games are fantastic

 

[Bragr]

I still don't get Sonic, you start to run and bump into shit non-stop, do you need to memorize the entire fucking level to play the game?

 

[Orta]

If it ever gets finished Sonic 2 HD will piss all over every game on that list

 

[ShirAhava]

Unleashed (day levels) >>>>>>> Generations

2D sonic > 3D sonic.

Not even close.

 

[GymWolf]

The only one i played was already pre-installed into my sega master system 2 plus, it was the one with the underwater level where you have to catch bubbles to breath...i hated that fucking game

 

[Holammer]

No Sonic Boom on the list?
I kid, but I'm unironically playing the game now after I finished binging the series.
Sometimes Youtube recommendations take you down a dark path.

 

[SpiceRacz]

1. Sonic 1
2. Sonic 2
3. Sonic Mania
4. S & K

2D sonic > 3D sonic.

Not even close.

3D Sonic is overhated.

The only one i played was already pre-installed into my sega master system 2 plus, it was the one with the underwater level where you have to catch bubbles to breath...i hated that fucking game

So literally every 2D Sonic game?

 

[AlteredForms]

What, no Sonic 2006?
