I thoroughly enjoyed the Sonic games up to Sonic 3D Blast. To this day though, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is my all-time favorite. Sonic CD was also really good. In my opinion, the series started going downhill with the Sonic Adventure games. They just didn't have the same excitement and sense of speed that the original games had and were known for. I've also tried both Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog recently, and neither of those helped to get me back in the series either.
Although the series has been in a huge lull for nearly a decade now, it doesn't mean that all hope is lost. I'm quite sure that a considerable fanbase still exists, and if SEGA were able to get in gear, they could make it profitable and respectable once again. Just look at the Tomb Raider series. The last few games were horrible but Tomb Raider: Legend is a very nice game and has seemingly given that series some much needed credibility again. Regardless of the state the series is in now, this anniversary is still meaningful and should be recognized. So, congrats to SEGA and Sonic Team. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

The music in the first two Sonic games were killer. Like, pretty much every stage theme had great music. Sonic 3, however, didn't have as much good music. Hydrocity Zone and Icecap Zone are exceptions though, as well as the Special Stage theme.
After Sonic 3D Blast, though, it seemed as though the music started to take a dip. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 had decent music, as well as other games like Sonic R and Sonic the Fighters, but the music in the Sonic Advance games and Sonic Heroes are pale successors to the greatness we received in the 16-bit era. Recently though, Sonic music has gotten a bit of a revival. I'm a big fan of Hideki Naganuma, and hearing his Jet Set Radio style in Sonic Rush was a breath of fresh air. Shadow the Hedgehog, albeit a horrible game, had pretty kick-ass music. Sonic Riders even has some good music. Chemical Plant Zone from Sonic 2 is still my favorite Sonic track of all-time though. I hope for the day that SEGA will release an official set of the music from the first 3 games. If that day ever comes, I'll be the first one in line. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
