The ideas for the series and what it’s supposed to be aren’t exactly fleshed out and the developers are trying some unique ideas to see what sticks and I think Sonic CD is a great example of that. I also have a thing for first “iterations” of games in a series (which is why Sonic 1 is so high up on my list). And people like to bash on the time-travel aspect as not being fully fleshed out or poorly implemented… but Sonic CD is my favorite one to attempt a perfect run because finding a Past post, keeping it, then finding a spot to time travel takes a fair bit of skill and is exhilarating when you pull it off. The way the levels are built leaves a lot of room for improvisation and changing up your play style. Have you not played it? It gets a lot of hate because of how unconventional it is compared to other Sonic games, but it’s the one I always go back to when I’m in the mood to just play some Sonic. Raisin’ Me Up is my favourite but it doesn’t sound quite right not coming from the DS speakers. I’ve listened to the Sonic R ost quite a bit, I’ve also listened to Sonic Rush ost quite a bit, they give me energy and focus. I haven’t had much Sonic Experience since these games, mania never interested me, I watched someone play forces. I only beat the final boss of this game a few years ago, I bought the sequel but didn’t play much, the artstyle was all wrong. Once you beat that boss you unlock Blaze, this along with the characters page in the manual set my expectations very high thinking I would be able to unlock Knuckles. I eventually figured out that I needed to hold down A to jump higher. I remember playing the first few levels on the plane and having a really hard time on the first boss. I think I was randomly given it by my dad before we flew down to the South Island to see my sister who was doing her last year of high school in Wanaka. The third Sonic game I owned was Sonic Rush I got it in 2009 and played it on my DS lite. We played a lot of Ratchet and Clank 3 multiplayer, and a demo of The Italian Job (Wahlberg) instead. I always wanted it, my friend eventually got it but we never played it because it was single player. The opening cutscene was cool though.Īround this time the supermarket sold a small selection of videogames, among those I clearly remember Shadow the Hedgehog being apart of them. I haven’t beaten this game but I did get to Eggman land. I found the daytime levels pretty hard and never really understood what was going on in the werehog levels. I didn’t know the 360/PS3 version existed until I watched GameGrumps play it in 2013/14, I was pretty shocked to see the towns being 3D environments and not the 2D sections I was used to. The second Sonic game I owned was the PS2 version of Sonic Unleashed, I got it as a Christmas present one year. The one time we played a different level, I got stuck behind a locked door. Silver could levitate and thus sequence break the early parts of the level. ![]() He would always choose Silver and I would be left with Sonic or Shadow. (Fun Fact: level 4 of this game uses a couple of the same samples as Tetris Effect.Ī friend of mine got an Xbox 360 relatively early (07?) and had Sonic 06, we played this game quite a bit but only in versus on crisis city. ![]() ![]() I was really into this game and even drew an OC with thier own board, I think they just looked like Knuckles but had some blue tips on thier hair/spikes. This game is still a favourite of mine and I finished off all the missions a year or two ago to finally unlock the last characters (Ulala, AiAi, Knights). Unlocking Shadow with rollerblades was a pretty big moment too. Seeing the pre-rendered opening scene of the game was probably the first time I was wowed by graphics in a game. The first Sonic game I owned was Sonic Riders, I remember choosing it at The Warehouse and my dad bought it for me. My cousin had a PS2 with Sonic Heroes, we played versus, one of us picked Shadow’s team, I remember thinking he was cool. In the same year my familty went on a holiday to England to visit our cousins. In 2004 I had a Sonic LCD game from McDonalds where you played as the Robot (from Adventure or Heroes?) in an Ice hockey game. Sonic games weren’t super popular when I was growing up (2000’s) but I definitely knew of him and the series before I played an official game. I first played Sonic 1? on one of those flash game websites as a kid, my friends and I could often get to the 2nd level but never much further than that. I think I’m a fair bit younger than the average age of forum users here so my Sonic Experience was somewhat different.
