Sega hasn’t, and will likely never, come close to matching Nintendo’s quality and excellence in game design with Sonic, but the company has done an extraordinarily better job at marketing its blue mascot out side of its gaming roots.īy default, Sonic and its universe was always better suited for extracurricular media content than Mario. The story line itself is not bad for a children’s game, and it is in the voice acted cutscenes where I can appreciate why Sonic (and friends) appeal to my five year old more than Mario does. I like the game’s hub designs, and the relative freedom given allowing me to tackle levels and challenges as I see fit. In fact, unless my eyes deceive me, I am inclined to say that Generations looks far better than Forces, despite being a generation (and about 6 years) older. These levels are based on previous 3-D games, but they are challenging and gorgeous looking here. If we move to the 3-D (Dreamcast era) Sonic, as Generations lets you (change eras) at will by pressing the right stick down at any time during the game’s hub world, we find some of the best 3-D levels that the series has ever seen. The less said about Sonic The Hedgehog 4 the better. I found Sonic Adventure 2 to be a waste of time, and the only reason I stuck with Forces was my undying love for my only son. We beat Sonic Forces, finished Sonic 2 with all of the chaos emeralds (my favorite Sonic game to this day), and managed to get quite far into Sonic Mania. Including a Sega Genesis Sonic collection for the Nintendo Switch, Sonic Mania, Sonic Forces for the PS4, Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic Generations for the Xbox One X. His passion for Sonic has forced me to buy him an assortment of Sonic video games.
However, Sonic is his favorite character in any form of entertainment, not just video games. My son (who is 5 years old) loves Sonic, he loves Mario too (and has played dozens of hours of Mario Odyssey).
Don’t get me wrong, I highly enjoyed Sonic Adventure back in 1999-2000, but that might be the only 3-D game in the franchise that I thought was any good. Sonic 3-D games, for the most part, have sucked.
