VGW: Takashi Iizuka is the producer of Sonic Generations. He has a crucial, long-standing history with Sonic Team. Apart from being lead designer on the whimsical Nights into Dreams (Sega Saturn, 1996), Iizuka was the senior game designer on Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and directed both Sonic Adventure games on the Dreamcast. In fact, Iizuka designed many of the memorable levels from Sonic’s Dreamcast adventures. He produced 2010′s Sonic Colors. Outside of general character supervision, though, he had very little involvement with Sonic and the Black Knight or Sonic and the Secret Rings. To faithful Sonic fans soured by the recent “next-gen” outings, these are very important observations.
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a remaster of Sonic Generations released in 2011. The real question is, does the remaster live up to the hype of the original?
Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?
Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.
Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.
Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.
I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.
Mania was 5 hours roughly
However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short
The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones
Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.
Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2
Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭
Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.
The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.

They really can't get me any more excited than I was when they showed the City Escape footage.
Can't wait to see the full Zone reveal. :)
