You are looking for a good Sonic game. The problem is that there are so many that you do not know which one to get. Keep reading as we review three great ones.

Sonic And Sega All Star Racing

Sonic is of course known for his speed. But in this game speed is achieved by the fast cars Sonic and his friends ride in. This game is a must have for the fans.

The game is very well designed and the controls are responsive. This is of the essence if you play a racing game and so many games get it wrong.

Not only can you play as Sonic or his friends, there are other Sega characters that are playable. Too bad some of the more memorable Sega characters are not in the game.

This game really is a fast action packed racing game that will keep you on your toes. You should definitely check it out.

Sonic ultimate genesis collection

If you are bored of the 3D Sonic and want to play the older classics, then you are in luck. This game has all the classic Sonic games that came out on the Sega Genesis. These 2D games are what made Sonic the super hero that he is today.

The game came out not only on the PS3 but also on the Xbox 360. So many gamers have access to get the game. It is strange that it did not come out on the Wii. On a good note, the game comes with over 30 games.

Many of these games you need to unlock.

There is no xbox live support, though. But it is not really necessary for this game anyway.

Sonic Rush

This game gets two thumbs up. It is just like the old 2D Sonic games, but there have been many additions to the game play and animation.

The game is very well done, from the presentation to the graphics, it is pure fun.

The boss battles are in 3D and are just as fun and intense as the 2D stages. They also look really good on the DS.

In the older Sonic games you will build up speed only to be slowed down by enemies or spikes. This game solves that problem by introducing the boost ability.

Not all Sonic games are of high quality, but these games are all fun to play and very addictive.

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

Our hero chases Robotnik to Angel Island where he meets his rival Knuckles. This is a red version of Sonic who likes to use his fists to punch. This game has lengthier cinemas and a better story compared to the previous Sonic games. This was also one of the last Sonic games that appeared on the Sega Genesis.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

We meet a new character by the name of Tails. His participation might seem insignificant, but look again. Not only does he bring some added joy to the game, he also is playable and can reach places other blue hero cannot even think about getting to.

Sonic and Knuckles

The levels are larger and more complex. The designers really put effort in giving you a truly enjoyable experience. The music and sound effects are also on point. This is truly an enjoyable game if you are looking for some entertainment.

Sonic Adventure

Sonic Adventure is a beautiful 3D game that was well received by the public. Of course there were people who doubted that Sonic could crossover to 3D. Not only did he do, but he made a big splash, also.

Looking at the games you will notice that there is only one 3D game in the list and all the other games are 2D. The reason for this is that the 2D games are what made Sonic as famous as he is today. The 3D games are good also, but if it was not for the older games, our blue hero would never have made it this far.

The common denominator between these games was the beautiful and colorful graphics, there where various stages and multiple end bosses. The boss is usually dr. Robotnik or Egghead as he is frequently called.

Sonic the Hedgehog has starred in many games where he had to battle his foes. Luckily he did not have to do this on his own, because his friends helped him along the way.

Let us find out who these friends are.

Miles “Tails” Prower

Tails is Sonic his first and best friend. Not only that, he also is Sonic his sidekick. When our blue hero is in a pinch, Tails is always there to help him out. His best ability is to fly using his twin tails.

Not only that, he is also able to pick up his friends and pull them up high in the sky. Personality wise he is pretty much a wimp. He seeks the approval of everyone around him, but when you need his help Tails will have your back.

While playing the 2D video games, Tails is mostly available as a second player who has unlimited amount of lives. A clever player will use Tails to destroy dr Eggman and keep Sonic out of danger, because it is game over if he dies.

Amy Rose

This is Sonic his unofficial girlfriend. She also goes by the name of Rosy the Rascal. She is pink and very cute. Her favorite food is ice cream.

For a small girl she sure is strong. Just look at her weapon, a big hammer. She uses it with skill, so she has clobbered plenty of enemies with it.

Knuckles

Knuckles, the red rival, is a great friend of Sonic. Both are very competitive though. This brings out the best in both of them. Unlike Tails who is a push over, Knuckles does not back down from anything.

Looking at Sonic his closest friends, you can see that they would not hesitate to help Sonic if he is in need. Later on Sonic will meet new friends who will help him as well.

Having friends makes life more fun for Sonic and in some of the game they actually have to work as a team. Because they each have their strengths and weaknesses.

Even though Sonic the Hedgehog is admired and looked up to by many fans because of the excellent games that came out. There are a bunch of games that should have never seen the daylight. Most of them are so bad that they will make you cringe if you have ever played them. Let’s take a look at the worse sonic games.

Sonic Labyrinth
This is a game for the game gear. In this game Sonic walks slowly, they took away his speed. How can you take away the most important aspect of the blue hero? Another big mistake they made is that you cannot jump. If you want to move fast, you can use the spin dash.
The object of the game is to collect keys to exit the stage. If you get hit while you have the keys, they will scatter all around. Now you have to collect all them again.
This game tries to have that 3D feel to it and the music is pretty bad to. On a plus the graphics are pretty good and the levels look good also albeit they are very repetitive.
Sonic Drift
Another game on the game gear that is horrible. This is the first racing game for sonic. This is of course a blatant copy of the Mario kart idea. I bet the guys at Sega saw the impact Mario kart had and try to duplicate that.
This is a real fast game. The game play is real bad. Turning is always delayed and the combination of a fast racing game with lagging game play is a big letdown. The music is kind of entertaining.
Sonic Shuffle
The Dreamcast had many good games; this is not one of them. The graphics are pretty good, but that is the only thing that saves this horrible game. You can play with 4 players max, but why would you want to let your friends or family members suffer through the experience.
Your goal is to collect all the precious stones. The game offers many mini games that could have been left out. You basically play a board game and get to do mini games. Some of them are fun but most are irritating.
We looked at a couple of Sonic the hedgehog games that should have never come out. You are warned to not play these games, as they are a waste of your time. You will have more fun looking at paint dry. All joking aside, in all honesty you do want to skip these games at all cost. If you are a diehard fan and really want to play all the sonic games, go ahead and rent them, because after a day or two you will want to return them.

Sonic the hedgehog is the famous mascot of Sega. The blue hero has a best friend, Tails, and they are always up for an adventure.

Sonic has some enemies to, Knuckels and Egghead, also known as dr. Robotnik. There are many fans all over the world who like Sonic. He is so famous that there are comics, cartoons and action figures available of him and his friends.

Sonic is blue, spiky, and extremely fast. He is so fast that his speed can destroy the competition.

Sonic has become famous for his 2D games. Some of the 3D games have been a big disappointment. Some are good, but most are mediocre at best.

Tails, his sidekick for the 2D games, plays a more important role in the 3D games. You also have the choice to switch between different players. Each of them has their own moves.

Sonic is famous for his spin dash. This is a move where he curls up as a ball and starts rotating real fast, he then shoots forward.

Tails is known for his ability to use his tails to fly. He can fly to places Sonic cannot reach. He can also lift Sonic the hedgehog to these places.
