Longest Sonic Game

Hi everyone now I am not sure which games you would like to put in an poll so there won't be one for this topic.

In your opinions which Sonic game is the single longest game of the series.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles is two games together since they were originally going to be one big game.

Sonic Adventure has seven story lines.

Sonic Adventure 2  and 06 has three story lines.

Sonic Heroes has five story lines.

Shadow the Hedgehog has eleven story lines.

i think that goes to shadow the hedgehog due to having 65 different endingsgamerguy456

I actually would say Adventure 2, I've already spent at least 100 hours on my file of it...

Have you ever successfully beaten Metal Harbor with a final score or 100 without death? Probly not.

I'd say Sonic the Hedgehog because of its insane difficulty.chocolate1325

I got all S rank on 06 just fine. Even on Super Hard mode.

Yup, pretty much. Of the 100+ hours I've played it, let's say 70 or better was Chao stuff. :|

Last I checked, even retro games did the same. Banjo Kazooie and its sequel had lots of item hunting to continue the game, as did Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, and even Super Mario 64 did it, though to less of an extreme. mariostar0001

No I'm talking retro as in BEFORE the jump to 3D. Yeah after the jump to 3D was when games became obsesssed with collect-a-thons.

why hasn't anyone mentioned secret rings?

Secret rings. is. THE. WORST. SONIC. GAME. EVER.

DO NOT SPEAK OF IT AGAIN

Btw secret rings isnt that long anyway. i know someone who beat it the DAY they got it

Do you think it's bad because of controls or bad because Sonic's friends aren't in it? Just curious.

But back on topic, SR (which is actually somewhat liked here because it was the Sonic game that came out that didn't involve beastiality) is rather short, just cheaply extended it's length with side missions that mostly retreaded the same areas making you grab rings or what have you.

I never liked Secret Rings either.

The controls were awful, the missions were bland and most were hellish, and on-rails gameplay was very bothersome.

And yet it could easily be beaten in one day.

I dislike it because of Bad controls and extremely broken gameplay at a lot of points, along with many other reasons. secret rings was only made because sega wanted to release some sonic game close to the wii's release, and a port of sonic 06 to the wii would take too long

IKR, thats what im sayin.

I have to agree on one thing: Sonic games nowadays you don't get all that much control over the action compared to some other games. Why give us even LESS by outright putting Sonic on auto-run? :?

I didn't mind the game but the way it control it took trial and error to a new level.

I'll take Unleashed, Colors, Adventure 2, Heroes... pretty much any not completely broken 3D Sonic game over that any day, thank you.

The missions I have to agree were pretty bland and run of the mill, anything not involving get to the end felt stupid to me.

I honestly tried playing it, and it's not ANYWHERE NEAR AS BAD as what GameInformer said it was, but it's also not all that great. Overall I think it was okay.

However, worst Sonic game ever? Far from it. FAR. FROM. IT.

Mind telling me what you think is worse?

Sonic 06 ive HEARD is very bad, but ive never actually played it.

....it cant be worse than secret rings can it?

Yes it can.

And it did.

Sonic Labyrinth was also terrible. I've played plenty of Sonic games. I honestly haven't beaten all the ones I played but I played Sonic 2006 for at least 3 or 4 hours on my friend's PS3, and I honestly wish I spent that 3 or 4 hours... not doing that.

Secret Rings I didn't really regret playing it, just I coulda had more fun with something else.

Yes I played Sonic 06 as well and where Secret Rings I can forgive as Sega rushing out a game and experimenting with the Wii's new control scheme, Sonic 06 is just an unfinished mess. Even if you can look past the the bland unpolished graphics, the idiotic beastality storyline, the annoying playable friends, and the tedious hub world fetch quests, it's just broken on a technical level. Load screens are EVERYWHERE, the camera is spazzy and controls are awful. There are high speed sections of Sonic's story that make Secret Rings look like mana from heaven. Imagine playing Secret Rings, trying to control it with your elbows, and making it where you can't stop period and every wall, rock and tree damages you and throw in some glitchy areas where Sonic falls through the ground to his death. Yes it is THAT bad and only the most mindlessly blindly devoted Sonic fans could find any enjoyment. Even Sega flat out said that they shoved the game out before it was properly tested or finished, just to get it out in time for the PS3 launch so if Sega thought this game was s$#@ who are we to argue?

I found the Genesis Spinball, adequate at best but the Game Gear version is the worst version of anything. Avoid it at all costs.

Seriously though, if you're new here, check out our review archive. It knows all...except for Sonicphc's Spinball review.

i actually really liked secret rings the first time i played it since it was only the 3rd wii game i played. i think it's pretty lame now though.

Sonic Heroes, since it has four main storylines, and the Choatix team's "find the items" stages take forever to finish.SuperfastSonic

I never even beaten the "real" final boss in that game, due to those really hard special stages.

Sonic Next Gen can definitely take a long while to finish, sadly for all the wrong reasons.kbaily

Try homing attacking objects in the hubworld. Have fun not having control of Sonic as he slides in a glitchy way for several seconds.
