Remember Sonic Rush? Yeah, that was a good game.

the only character not part of Sonic's core friends list that I would miss would be Blaze the Cat


and they sort of fucked her over since Sonic 06 regardless

Knuckles is quite literally the new porcupine on the block with a buff chest.

Okay, here's the deal.

I am thinking of getting more Sonic games, but I'm not quite sure which ones.

I meant, I KNOW which ones are terrible, but which ones are GOOD.

I already think I'll get Sonic Adventure DX (although that's mainly so I can play Sonic the Hedgehog [Game Gear])
And maybe Sonic Heroes too. I heard that game is like the classic ones, but 3D and with a team gimmick and voice clips.

But are there any others that are good? And, that are on Nintendo systems?

I haven't played a Sonic game since Heroes, which is pretty eh in my opinion.

Sonic Adventure 2 is pretty good if you don't have that. If you want some older stuff, I would suggest getting Mega Collection and Gems Collection. They have pretty much all the classic titles you'd want.

That's all I can offer, really.

As far as Nintendo consoles go, Colors and Adventure 2 are pretty much your best bet. (Other than Adventure 1 but it seems like you're set on that anyways)

I kinda like Heroes but it definitely has problems

and Shadow is just weird

The handhelds tend to be relatively good overall (excluding Chronicles) with Advance 1 being one of my favorites ever. Can't give an opinion on the two Rush games and Colors DS because I'm not really familiar with any of those outside of gameplay footage.

heh

With the exception of Lost World 3DS, those are the ONLY Sonic games I have!  :lol:
And I think I did mention in the General Offtopic Discussion topic, what with me nicknaming each and every game in the 2 compilations...)
(click to show/hide)

And the main reason behind my want of Sonic Adventure DX, is the Game Gear games that WEREN'T in Gems Collection.
You know, like Sonic Blast and Sonic Labyrinth Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Chaos.

But I will consider Adventure 2 and Colours too, especially since I haven't spent any money since BEFORE Christmas.
Also, Advance, because it remixes music from the Genesis games.

Thirded. It is an incredible game.

Sonic Rush Adventure (Rush's sequel) is a game with Rush's gameplay but inferior level design.

And the things between levels ... well ...

There are forced minigames. And the storyline is aimed at 6-year-olds who like pirates. And there are item fetch quests.

But the gameplay is still mostly like in Rush with a few minor adjustments (I think the whole R+up/down/side thing got tweaked a little).

Music is a mixed bag. The boss theme is pretty good and there is apparently a large number of people who also like the theme of the secret final boss. However, the stages have pretty mediocre music.

Overall, it is a disappointment. And it sort of ruined the Rush series.

Oh, and Blaze got acrophobia somewhere between Rush and Rush Adventure.

What SRA did amazingly good were the bosses, though. Everything about them is just brilliantly done.
And there are even FATALITIES.

In other words, suffer through the minigames and story to unlock all stages first, leave the game lying around for a few months and then have actual fun by playing from stage select or time attack mode.
When using stage select I'd consider SRA to be almost as good as Rush (even if the whole pirate theme is still too silly for my tastes).

As far as classic Sonic goes, Sonic CD and Sonic 3 & Knuckles are my favorite installments. Sonic 2 is close behind, but Sonic 1 just upsets me.
Sonic the Fighters and Sonic R were both a lot of fun but those are more casual than anything else.
Sonic Adventure is my favorite entry in the series and you can't convince me otherwise. Yes, even the fishing stages. Its soundtrack is my all-time favorite. Adventure 2 is also great but Adventure I simply love.
Heroes was my first Sonic game and I enjoy it, though it definitely has its flaws. Shadow feels like it fixed up the handling issues with Heroes but then opened up a whole new can of why. I still had fun though.
Sonic Advance 2 isn't a bad game but god damn there are a lot of cheap, speed-induced deaths. Sonic Advance 3 is my personal favorite. Sonic Battle is my favorite GBA entry, though.
I won't lie, I really like a lot about Sonic '06. The execution was just so horrible. I enjoy the plot (cry me a goddamn river), Silver is easily my favorite character, and the soundtrack is my second favorite in the series.
Never played Sonic Rush or Sonic Rivals but I do want to get a hold of them at some point.
I honestly prefer Unleashed to Colors if only because it doesn't frustrate me horribly, though Generations beats them both by a landslide.
I played a demo of Lost World and it was so damn awkward oh my god. I watched the rest of the game online and it was severely disappointing. Not bad, but disappointing.
I'm optimistic about the gameplay of Sonic Boom, but the new designs upset me. We've seen so little of it, though, so I'm not taking a stance on it just yet.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is great you should buy it Caprice is such an aggressive driver holy shit I can't even describe.

Sonic CD was the first game I've ever played. Sonic 3 and Knuckles is my favorite Classic Sonic game while Sonic Adventure 2 is my favorite 3D Sonic game.

I was trying to get all 180 emblems a second time (I managed to A rank all of Sonic's stages again), but I got lost motivation to do it again. Speaking of which, I have yet to 100% Lost world. So far I've got 4 emeralds.

Whoa hey.

I do not even have Steam.

And I forgot that I got the original Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing for Wii on Christmas.


Also, I tried to play Lost World again, but it just feels so awkward.
Especially since the R Button on my 3DS broke, thanks to a combination of Luigi's Mansion and Mario Kart, so if I play Lost World, the only ranks I can get are Ds.

And the special stages in Lost World are dumb.

And I hope the other 3D Sonic games are better.
