Never played Sonic CD but I vote for Sonic 3. To me, it did the Sonic 2 thing of taking everything its predecessor did and making it better in every way imaginable. Up until Sonic Colors it was also the last Sonic game that was better than the one before it.

I still think its Sonic 2 and actually I haven't played it in a couple of years now so I may have to have a shoot through it :).

Sonic 2, though I never really got the chance to get too involved in Sonic CD. However I'm still going to say Sonic 2 was the best. I feel that after that game, the art direction started to feel very un-sonic like.

I loved Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast. Becoming Super Sonic at the end and fighting Chaos's final form was awesome!!!

Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Not only was the platforming outstanding but it had an epic story.

I disagree, I feel the European soundtrack is better, though the US soundtrack has its merits :P

I disagree. I don't think having "OOH OOH YEAH" playing in a night sky level has any business in a Sonic game. The U.S. Soundtrack was also completely original and was more complicated to compose. Along with the interesting game over sequence. I can give you that the Final Boss Music is barely different than the regular boss music.

The original Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Genesis for me. Mostly because it's the game I got with my Genesis back in the day, so I have the most nostagia attached to it. I played the heck out of that game. That, and I really didn't like the addition of the sidekicks. Definetly bearable considering how great the Genesis sequels were, and you even had the option to take Tails out the game (which a lot of people I know didn't even know about until they saw me do it because they kind of hid the options menu on the title screen of Sonic 2). But still, I thought it was stupid. It just made Sonic lose some of that edginess and go more towards the cutesy side. Which unfortunately, the cutesiness got worse as the years went on. Stupid Chaos.

Well those two "inferior: games stiull hold up well on there own against most Sonic games. Only Sonic 2 and maybe Sonic CD are better then those two seperately. However these days you can find the full game in many compilations so I don't see the problem anymore.

Sonic 2 was the best one. It seemed to lose its way after that.

Aye, Sonic Adventure was a great game too. It lost its appeal once I played the DX version on the GameCube though.

I'd go with Sonic 3 & Knuckles, that and Sonic 2 are the only games that really do the good mix of speed and platforming. I don't understand why some people hold Sonic CD in such a high regard, it's not as well made, and all it's got going for it is it's catchy CD quality soundtrack.

The correct answer is:

Sonic Adventure

Most people would probably choose one of the first 3 Sonic games on the Genesis, but that's only because they have angst against 3D Sonic games and are stuck in the past. Nostalgia gets the best of them. Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast is the best Sonic game, of every Sonic game I've ever played I had the most fun playing Sonic Adventure.

Slow down with those claims son! I may have chosen Sonic 3 & Knuckles but I love Sonic Adventure. It's my second favorite Sonic game.

I have no issue with 3D Sonic games (at least not the crappy ones), I actually think Sonic Adventure 1, 2, and Heroes all work really well with the Sonic formula.

I thought Sonic Adventure was very average. Even Rayman 2 beat it imo. I also don't agree that Sonic did a good jump into 3D. Sonic Generations is hyped because it will let you play as classic Sonic in 2.5D and that tells something about how successful Sonic's transition into 3D was.

No, it's because those three games actually aged well and are examples of exemplary platforming game design.

Sonic Adventure, on the other hand, was the beginning of the end, bringing in horrible alternative gameplay **** (like the treasure hunting, mech and the fishing), bringing in an overall lack of polish, camera issues, an uneccesary overworld, etc. Sure, it might have seemed great at the time, but time has not been kind to it.

Sonic 2, only by a hair....spin dash was the only thing S1 was missing. The levels were also fun, fast and creative....great music; and having only 2 acts just moved the stages along when we had to start from scratch every-time

incidentally, in Sonic Jam on the Saturn (compilation of Sonic 1/2/3/Knuckles) , they added the option for Sonic to have a spin dash in Sonic 1. I would assume in that case , Sonic 1 wins for you,
