The Four Best Sonic Games

By Frank Heltin

Sonic games are popular with not only younger gamers but also the adult crowd. This is because Sonic has been here for over ten years now. And in those years he has gained many fans even though Sega does not make consoles anymore, losing Sonic as a flagship character. He is now found on all the consoles in one way or the other. Let's take a look at some cool Sonic games.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Great graphics and the gameplay in this game stayed the same compared to the previous Sonic game, but the levels are more interactive. There are more context sensitive items you can interact with. Every level has also a boss at the end instead of every other level.

This game introduced one of Sonic his signature moves, the spin dash. Sonic crawls up into a ball and starts spinning faster and faster. Suddenly he shoots forward, rolling through the level destroying everything in his path. This is one move that everybody uses while playing.

Sonic and Knuckles

The ending is absolutely great with the introduction of Super Sonic. Who would have thought that Sonic could become even superior then he is already. It stunned me, but of course in a good way. There were a couple of plot twists which were really enjoyable.

Sonic Adventure

Sonic adventure for the Dreamcast was the first game that brought Sonic from 2D to 3D. It has been a huge success, because many games that crossover do not live up to the expectation.

Most of the games in the list are 2D games. The newer fans might not be familiar with the 2D Sonic. This is a shame and they should play the older games. Those were the glory days when Sonic was in competition with his rival Mario. But Mario could never keep up with Sonic.

All these games are great, but there is a common theme that keeps reoccurring. The graphics are consistent, but seem to improve with each game. The music stays pumping. And Sonic stays as confident and fast as ever. - 30202
