Whats happened to Sonic games?

Sonic games have turned from decent to rubbish but why?

Sega keeps rushing them and such. They try to reach imaginary deadlines and they seem to not like delaying games.

But Sonic games are still pretty good. The DS games are still great and Sonic and the Secret Rings is great, once you get some good skills to make Sonic run real fast.

SEGA says that the Sonic Unleashed game has been in development for 3 years. Hopefully, that won't turn out bad.Super-Mario-Fan

Sonic has been doing great, I don't understand the question

You have Sonic Rings and Mario and Sonic on the Wii right now with Sonic unleashed coming up for the Wii

Then you have a ton of quality titles on the DS with the RPG coming soon on that platform

The Sonic franchise is doing great these days with quality games on both of Nintendo's platforms.

Sonic really seems to be doing great. Just because of two bad games, doesn't mean Sonic is automatically dieing.RockstarDX

2? More like 8.

Those were last gen or before. I don't care what the Sonic franchise was doing back then.

All that matters is what Sonic is doing now this generation.

We're in the Wii forum and Sonic Rings sold well and was well received not only by the reviewers but the buying public as well.

It was recieved ok most scores settled around the 7 range. Its by no means an excellent game, but it was certainly a step up. And Sonic games never sell great, but they do sell consistently.

Yes, this generation on the Wii platform since we're in the Wii forum.

If we were in System Wars I'd bring up that Sonic is doing very well on Nintendo hardware (Wii and DS) and not so great elsewhere.

ok :D

I've just got sonic riders zero gravity and its not annywhere near as good as earlier sonic games. The only decent sonic games are the ones paired with mario.

I beg to differ, the sonic rushes are great, and Secret rings while not an amazing game, is heading in the right direction. Its problem was Sega assumed we like doing missions (find X eggs, kill X enemies, don't hit a freakin pot!). If they had consentrated more on level design instead of making crappy missions, it could've been great. However the storyline was bad, actually terrrible, and it plagirized the Arabian Nights. Playing the first mission of each level where all you did was run and dodge, was fun, but short lived.

However, Sonic Unleashed seems to change all of that. Putting together the gameplay of Rush, with blips of on-rails. This heightens the action for killer camera angles, and can add more than just run real fast and hope something cool happens.

The were-hog idea might sound stupid at first, but it'll probably work in an ENTIRELY different way. (yes I know sega said it first) With their addition of melee combat, they might make it kinda like a hack-n-slash, but with werehog claws. And the graphics do look nice, and from what I've seen the enemy is simple: Robots, not GUN! not BLACK ALIENS, just simple good brand-new fashioned robots. From the looks of it Unleashed might not be bad.

Really!?Wow,very impressive SEGA,3 years.Just a smack back to reality about how hard it really is to make a game.I have higher hopes for Sonic Unleashed than I did before.I really want that game to be great!No not great,amazing!

I have sonic adventure DX and Sonic adventure 2 battle on gamecube.

I just wish Sega could make games like those again.
