picture this: you've never played a video game before, but have just received a nintendo DS along with 2 games for your birthday: new super mario brothers, and sonic classic collection. which do you play first? this was the dilemma i was faced with at 6 years old. i eventually decided to choose sonic, and i loved it. i thought it was the coolest thing ever! the visuals, the music, the gameplay, everything was the best to me! and each game was better than the last, i couldn't stop playing.
it's been praised to death
at this point, but i truly do believe sonic 3 is the best sonic game,
and my perfect 2d platformer.
it's got everything, rich visuals, a
surprisingly robust plot for a genesis game, and most importantly: top
tier gameplay. sonic 3&k is unapologetically my favorite game of all
time, and i HIGHLY recommend you play it, no matter who you are. this
game means a lot to me!
this is my favorite of
sonic's 3d games, i adore sonic unleashed. it's got pretty much
everything i want from a sonic game, visuals, story, and of course
gameplay are all top tier.
the werehog is of course
controversial due to 'not belonging' in a sonic game, but i have to love
it nonetheless. there's nothing more satisfying than stringing together
combos to do massive damage and get a massive score!
plus, the
more traditional daytime stages are (in my opinion at least,) the peak
of 3d sonic gameplay across the entire series. this game is an easy
favorite for me, go check it out!
