If you're one of the people who just constantly bases opinions off game reviews why not list Sonic Rush? It's newer and had very positive reception. Mondays........
I've played an abundant amount of sonic games.
I've played every sonic game up to sonic adventure 2.
After sonic adventure 2 I've played sonic heroes which alot of people did not like, it seemed to me that I was one of the few people that like the game. Btw has a very nice concept with the tag team stuff.
I've played sonic rush which is an okay game, nothing game breaking. I have not played much of the recent sonic games just for the fact that the game is starting to becoming stale. Like back in the day, sonic had a fresh idea's, innovative concepts, rejuvenating gameplay.
The impact of sonic games today did not have the same impact 6 years ago.
I don't solely base my games off reviews since I love alot of games that were given average or poor reviews.
