Too bad the sword, controlled by the Wii remote’s unreliable waggle, is terrible. Remember when Shadow the Hedgehog showed up with a gun? Sonic and the Black Knight attempts to redress the unfairness of Shadow having a weapon by giving Sonic a sword. Ironically, its countless bugs make it great for speedruns, and some of my favourite Games Done Quick runs are of Sonic ‘06. This game tried very hard to be an edgier Sonic Adventure but with all of its flaws and none of its charm. This is the game infamous for memes like “ It’s no use!” and the very weird interspecies kiss between Sonic and a human girl. It had minutes-long load times, the head of Sonic Team left midway through development, and absolutely bad story and gameplay. Where to start with this travesty? Sonic ‘06, as it’s called, was rushed to meet the 2006 holiday shopping season, leaving it a buggy mess. Sonic the Hedgehog (2006, PS3 / Xbox 360) This is the most cursed, non-fanart image of Sonic ever created. ![]() Without further ado, here’s our ranking of (some of) the Sonic games from worst to best. Sorry (not sorry, really) Shadow The Hedgehog and Knuckles Chaotix. This one hurt a little bit because it means excluding one of my favourite Sonic games, Sonic Triple Trouble, which was only released on the Game Gear. ![]() For this list, we’re keeping it to major games released on consoles. Part of the reason why trying to rank the Sonic games would get out of hand very quickly is because of the preponderance of handheld titles. Sorry Sonic Team Racing and Sonic Spinball, we want OGs only.Ģ. Now, fans can understand the kind of despair and perseverance it takes to venture into the world of Lordran.1. The game runs smoothly and beautifully on the latest hardware. They don’t have to worry about jittery animations or difficult-to-see adversaries. “Dark Souls: Remastered” is essentially the same game, but the developers have boosted the frame rate, increased the detail of the graphics and offered some quality-of-life upgrades.Īll of this makes a game with a legendary level of difficulty easier to play. The release, which along with “Demon’s Souls” pioneered a new kind of adventure game, was revamped for the latest generation of consoles. “Dark Souls” may not seem like an old game, but one has to keep in mind that it was released almost seven years ago. It’s a concept that has stood the test of time. Players choose which renegade Maverick bosses to battle and they gain their abilities as they defeat them. More than a decade later, the “Mega Man X” series still holds up with gameplay that doesn’t stray too far from the original formula. This collection features eight chapters in the series, and in a way, it shows the franchise’s evolution at a time when the 2-D side-scrollers were growing out of fashion and polygonal worlds were coming into vogue. The game may look exactly like the ones from fans’ childhoods, but as players delve further into the 12 worlds, they’ll encounter modern touches that mixes gameplay from other genres or adds creative twists to familiar level design.Īlthough it never garnered the same acclaim as “Mega Man” on the NES, the “Mega Man X” series has its own charm that has only grown over the years. In addition, “Sonic Mania Plus” has several other tweaks to the competition and speed run modes.Īlthough these extras are nice, the main course is the story mode, which delivers a heavy dose of nostalgia for Sonic fans. It features the ability to switch between Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and the other heroes. These obscure “Sonic” characters are available in Encore Mode, a remixed version of the original game. These include new characters Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel. It has all the charm of the older games, but the “Plus” aspect in this entry refers to the extras that have been added since the release. Publishers have revamped older games or in some cases reproduced the look of classics, and in the process, they’ve given players a new reason to pick them up.Īt the top of this list is “Sonic Mania Plus.” Although the game looks like a lost sequel of the Sega Genesis generation, this entry to the “Sonic the Hedgehog” saga was released last year. They aren’t the hard-to-find discs one finds on eBay for hundreds of dollars, nor are they games that can be found on emulators. Summer has quickly become a time for old games, but don’t call these titles retro. ![]()
