The Four Best Sonic Games

By Frank Heltin

Sonic the hedgehog games are must haves and sell well across the whole world. The reason for this is because Sonic has been famous for over 10 years. There aren't that many flagship characters that can stand the test of time. Not all the games are keepers unfortunately, but let's look at the classics you should have played.

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.

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 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.

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.
