God, I used to love that series. I'll never forgive Sega for screwing it up so bad. I loved every game (Shadow the Hedgehog wasn't that bad imo), but then Sonic the Hedgehog 360/PS3 came out. Thats when I knew the franchise was dead.

Yes, I have Sonic and the Secret rings. It Sucks too. I only bought it because I heard it was slightly better than STH 360, butnot by much.

Does anyone think that the Games might get good again, or is this a dead series?

honestly, i have no hope whatsoever for Sonic. the 360/ps3 game was absolute trash, and the last-gen multiplatform games like Shadow and that Sonic hoverboard racing game left a bad taste in the mouth. at this point i'd actually rather play Spyro (no offense Spyro fans :P)

The 2D Sonic games are still good likeSonic on the DS,butthe 3D ones aren't so good. When Sonic Advencher came out on the Dreamcast it was good and so was the seconed, but since then the 3D ones have started to get worse and worse.

So I think Saga should stop making 3D Sonic games and concentrate on making the 2D Sonic games.

only if they put out a non-handheld 2D sonic would my faith be restored.

I have faith in the series, still. Sega needs to learn that the series wasn't meant for 3-D, though. Or at least not the way they're going about it.

I really want to but with the lastest releases and the announcement of garbage like Sonic Riders, its hard to do it.

I began to lose my faith in Sonic when Sonic 3D came out on the Megadrive/Genesis, it was then completely destroyed by the 3D games that followed. My faith has come back a little bit with the GBA and DS 2D games but I don't think i'll ever love a new Sonic game more than Sonic 2.

There's no school like old school!

I think there is still some potential if it goes back to being a 2D game. I wouldn't mind seeing a new sonic as a VC or XBLA title. Then it might have the same fun gameplay as the originals did.

I believe there is still hope of the sonic series. Many of the gamecube sonic games were really good. I especially liked Sonc adventure battle 2.

The 3D sonics are almost all garbage, look at Sonic 3D Blast, but most of the 2D ones were great. I have one last Sonic game to look forward too. Sonic RPG. Now don't get me wrong the last 2D side scroller to pull it off was Mario and the Seven Stars and it was amazing so hopefully this will be too.

Well I liked the first two 3D games just because going so fast in 3D would really get me pumped up. But now it's just been going from bad to worse. They could really kick off the series again....maybe they should let nintendo run things...

When they added characters like Silver, I knew there was something wrong. I don't know when the Sonic series initially went downhill. Sonic 1-3 & Knuckles were really good I thought. Sonic Adventure was decent but from that point on Sonic's always had to share way too much with the other characters as if the developers are trying to make up for his lack of speed. I think the problem is that there isn't as much focus on Sonic as there once was. I'm fine if Shadow gets his own game as long as for once Sonic can get his.

After playing through Sonic Rush (I just got a DS), I think there's still hope left.

The problem is that either Sonic Team need to learn how to make a game in 3D, or they need to give the franchise to a developer that actually knows how to make games in 3D.

They need to worry less about making a game that is like other platformers out there and more like a racing game on way way too much sugar. Pure Speed has always been the greastest of Sonic's strengths. I say it should be so once again.

Sonic was boring by the third one. Okay, he can run fast and spin. We get it.

I can't stand the cliched voice acting and music in these games. It's a remnant of the 80's and early 90's. The only hope left for Sonic is if it gets a complete overhaul.
