Who does not know Sonic the Hedgehog. Ask any teenager in any country and chances are high that they not only know Sonic, they also have some of his video games at home right now. It is impressive to think what an impact Sonic has had on the our social culture. But not everything Sonic touches turns into gold, not every game he stars in is an instant classic. Let's take a quick look at the bad games.
Sonic Labyrinth
This is a game for the game gear. In this game Sonic walks slowly, they took away his speed. How can you take away the most important aspect of the blue hero? Another big mistake they made is that you cannot jump. If you want to move fast, you can use the spin dash.
Another mistake they made was not implementing the jump feature. In all the previous games you were able to jump around. Not in this game. This takes a lot away from the gameplay.
This game tries to have that 3D feel to it and the music is pretty bad to. On a plus the graphics are pretty good and the levels look good also, albeit they are very repetitive.
Sonic Drift
Another game on the game gear that is horrible. This is the first racing game for sonic. This is of course a blatant copy of the Mario kart idea. I bet the guys at Sega saw the impact Mario kart had and try to duplicate that.
This is a real fast game. The game play is real bad. Turning is always delayed and the combination of a fast racing game with lagging game play is a big letdown. The music though is kind of entertaining.
Sonic Shuffle
The Dreamcast had many good games; this is not one of them. The graphics are pretty good, but that is the only thing that saves this horrible game. You can play with 4 players max, but why would you want to let your friends or family members suffer through the experience.
Your goal is to collect all the precious stones. The game offers many mini games that could have been left out. You basically play a board game and get to do mini games. Some of them are fun but most are irritating.
We looked at a couple of Sonic the hedgehog games that should have never come out. You are warned to not play these games, as they are a waste of your time.
You will have more fun looking at paint dry. All joking aside, in all honesty you do want to skip these games at all cost. If you are a diehard fan and really want to play all the sonic games, go ahead and rent them, because after a day or two you will want to return them.
Skip the bad games and play some great sonic games or super sonic hedgehog today.
