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

Sonic...mediocre?!

Sorry, but as a self obsessed Sonic freak I feel I need to say something about this.

Sonic's recent 3D outings have been, well, pretty dire to be perfectly honest. But I remember playing Sonic Heroes (there were people who thought this game was fun and exciting - me being one of them) and getting the old feeling back. The old feeling I used to get when I played Sonic on the Genesis/Mega Drive.

To be fair, I AM NOT a Sonic expert. I have not played any of his Dreamcast outings, and I do see myself as a bit of an old school fanboy.

But despite that, I still feel that Sonic has a lot of life in him, and though he may be classed as irritating or ugly or whatever, I would never class him as mediocre.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

As much as I hate to admit, this seems to becoming very true. Hopefully, the next generation of video game systems will see Sonic born again. At least I hope that's the case.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
