Out of the limited range of Sonic games I've played, the 2D ones like Sonic Advance and the games featured in the Sonic Mega-Collection are by far the most entertaining.
Adventures and Heroes both suffer from an abhorrent camera, hard-to-navigate stages, and funless boss-battles. The franchise was originally fun because it was slick and simple, and making it 3D merely complicates a game that succeeded through being basic.

SA was pretty good, but the 3Ds where hated from that point on, >>>SA2B>>>SH (Worst of the 4)>>>Shadow. Although I see SatSR bringing the 3Ds back to life!:club: Although I'm a bit worried about StH, If it turns out to be bad enough it may ruin the 3D name right after SatSR made it good so we'd end up in the same place; kinda like 2 steps right, 2 steps left

IMO it's a little overrated.

Sonic CD for life. Though I only have the European Gems, with the US tracks. Though I have heard the Japanese tracks as well. Both versions have some outstanding tracks and are possibly the best bunch of Sonic music in the series IMO.

And Sonic 2 is awesome too.

In terms of new ones, Sonic Rush is worth a spin if you have a DS.

Am I the only one that didn't have any problems with the camera in the 3D games? Seriously, people seem to go on and on about it, but for me it's been fine.

I have a problem with the camera from time to time, but it works for the most part

With the camera, the problem isn't always that it is in the wrong place or something like that. The problem is that the camera plays the game for you. Want proof? Play Emerald Coast with nothing but the forward button and jump/homing attack. Just see how far you can get.

Don't get me started on cameras in the 3D Sonic games, has anyone had that thing where the camera starts spazing and being idiotic on the Arc in SA2B?

Not really. Most of the older players enjoyed S3&K cause it not only had abit of a story, but it was also the longest 2D Sonic game at the time (and Sega were friggen geniuses to force people to buy both games in order to play it completely). Sonic CD is incredible, don't get me wrong. Both games, however, are most likely the best Sonic games to be released in 2D. A lot of time and effort were put into them..unlike the latest bunch of games. o_O;

I'll tell you what's overrated. Sonic Adventure 2/Battle.

Sonic 3&K was the best, and I never even played 3 or K before I got it on the 'Cube (Okay, I played part of the first level on 3 once). That should say a lot.

How is that over-rated? Most people seem to trash that game at every chance they get.

Sonic CD is overrated total, it was pretty meh now that I think about it.

Sonic 2, and 3&K were the highlights of the 2D era.

I agree with Justin. The Adventures were great, and CD is overrated. I wish I could try Shadow...

XD it's better if you don't try Shadow...we won't speak of that game haha.

ack X_X well it depends...I didn't like Heroes myself personally, and I'm a huge Sonic fan.

However, I believe that personal taste is purely subjective, so while you might like Shadow, I don't.

The least you can do is try it out...I felt it was just sloppy, the good story from the adventure games was destoryed, the voice actors were all replaced, and the controls overall just felt sloppy.

But hey give it a rent.

that's why I said rent my boy ;). Make sure your grades are up though, and that your being social. Never place games before important matters, perhaps that's why they are being delgated so sparingly to you?

Mike Pollock suggest to Sega that they should do that, 4Kids had no say so in the matter, Sega did.

I hate Mike Pollock and his voice. They should've made Brock the narrator for Pokémon. He would suit that part and finally have some meaning to the show.

But lets stay on topic. We're talking about Sonic games here.
