[General Discussion] Sonic the Hedgehog - Mediocre Madness!!!

Sonic Advance 2 was a racing game not a platformer.

I swear you can finish most stages in that game by just pressing right and occasionally jump.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I thought it was about fun and fast, addicting gameplay that rivals Mario games.

Yuji Naka already said in an interview that he sees pokemon as his main opponent and wants Sonic to defeat that in popularity. Hence the childish attitude, the crappy anime, etc.

Sonic games have always been horribly mediocre. You can't seriously consider the hold right and jump occasionally mechanics of the Mega Drive games to be decent. Every level was trial and error because you moved so fast that you'd never learn where the enemy, spikes, cliff was until you suffered it's effects. These were piss poor games and your hazy 8 year old, have never played a video game before, memories cloud you're judgement.

Of course you do realize that what you said applies to every platformer at the time do you?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
