I just want to know if any one is excited about the new games that are coming, and to see which is your favorite? ( both current-ish and old )
for me it is a tie between SA2 and Sonic Unleashed.

I love the Sonic series! However the quality of the games have been sadly going downhill... I honestly think the series began to die after SA2... I mean Heroes was good but other than that the majority of the games after SA2 have been terrible (Don't even get me started on Sonic 06...) However I am looking forward to Colors as I hope that will be a step up for the franchise.

S3+SK = ultimate Sonic game.

The new old school styled Sonic game looks good but i'm really let down that they don't have the full speed red wheel looking feet. I realize it's nitpicking but it really does make a different in the sense of perceived speed. Same with how in the old games the screen would move with Sonic more toward the forward side of the screen if he was going fast enough on a long enough run. It's small things but they all add important parts to the flavor...kinda like how that pinch of garlic can make all the difference when cooking.

^^Yaye greetings everyone. I believe that I very much enjoy Sonic the Hedgehog games. I believe that I enjoy the original Sega Mega Drive games and also possess Sonic Rush Adventure and also Sonic Unleashed. ^^ I very much enjoyed the daytime stages within Sonic Unleashed (however I have not as of yet completed this).

I never played Heroes, but Sonic Unleashed wasn't that bad, in fact it was fun! Personally I'm looking forward to Sonic 4 episode 1.

I've heard Sonic CD was good and was along the same lines but one thing I liked about S3 + SK is that it established a narrative that followed through the whole thing both with Sonic's perspective and with Knuckles' perspective. S2 was great but didn't have that kind of underlying narrative through the whole thing other than that the ending connected up into S3.

Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 qualify as some of my favorite games of all time.

Sonic's one of the instances where a company can make the 2D to 3D transition, and do it incredibly well; many fail, but they didn't. The gameplay is amazing, it doesn't even require an explanation.

Don't even get me started on the Soundtracks. It's one of the reasons Jun Senoue is possibly my #1 video game composer. How he could compose songs where they form the exact mental image of the level design in itself, and his unique choice of notes for the guitar leads...

And the main themes, with Johnny Gioeli on vocals... man.

Nah, not the game boy ones, those were Sonic Advance not Adventure.

I pretty much fell in love with the Dreamcast/Gamecube ones (SA 1 and 2)

i enjoyed the levels played as sonic, the tails/knuckles verity were often tedious and unfun imo.

I loved the daytime levels of Sonic Unleashed and if those were the full game (only with more of them) It might have been one of my favorite games of all time. However the Nighttime levels killed the game for me. And you haver played Heroes? That was a really good game actually, you should try it.

lmao @ Science_Guy that's so true! It's true they lost most of their charm after the Dreamcast era (occasionally we still do get the good game, but it's overshadowed by so many crappy ones people don't care.) Anyways my favorites are Sonic Advenure and Sonic the Hegehog 2.
