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

It's strange that if Yuji Naka is considered a perfectionist that he would let such mediocre (poor) games come out of his development studio. I thought the end of the Dreamcast was meant to make Sega's games BETTER.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The last notable Sonic Game I'ed played is Sonic Adventure 2, which is the best post S3&K game imo. It just has the classic Sonic fell to it and finally lets us play as Robotnik. It seems as the DC died so did the excellence of the Sonic games...

Most amazing jew boots

It would be a damn shame if Sega simply let Sonic drift away into oblivion after all the success. But the way things are going, that moment could be sooner rather than later.

If they focused more on Sonic doing what he does best (running damn fast and destroying robots), then chances are this thread wouldn't have been made. We need to be overwhelmed by glorious crazy fast action that the Sonic games use to have (at least if you were playng it right). Even DMC understands that better than the Sonic games do.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The way they had that in an actual Sonic game made me lose faith in Sonic Team. I just can't believe they caved in like that and put swear words in there. It's not just the fact that they actually cussed, it's more of the fact that Shadow did it so much. But I guess the extreeeeeme teens loved it or something.

They should just cut their losses and put all their effort in the next gen Sonic game. OR even better, they could make a re-cut version of Sonic 2 with the original vision Yuji Naka had, Hidden Palace Zone and more.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I honestly can't comment on any Sonic game published after SA2, but I've heard stories...
So how does the current batch of Sonic games compare to the crap we were shovled in the Sonic Team's first great absence (Post S&K 1994- Pre SA1 1998)?

I was speaking idiomatically.
