If you want to know more about specific choices ask me at the bottom
Where’s Sonic Awoo? Also, I really liked Sonic Heroes, but it’s just too glitchy, at least on the PS2 😭
No sonic battle or sonic chronicles? I liked those. Battle more so than chronicles
We definitely have pretty differebt tastes. Out of those games on the list I’ve played:
• Spinball would be an A tier for concept, but having played it on official Genesis hardware/cart, I’d drop it to bare maximum C for my lack of skill.
• Sonic 4 ep1/2 would be A tier because I personally really enjoyed them.
• Sonic 1 would be B tier because it’s all downhill music wise after Green Hill Zone.
• Sonic 2 would be S tier because Tails. No notes.
• 3D Blast would be between B and C tier specifically for the only version I own: Genesis. Not my favorite, but not one I hate. Middle of the road for me.
• Adventure and DX would be D tier only because bad level geometry bugs, but that’s extremely minor compared to my inability to beat the Big the Cat levels. Withiut him, I’d give it almost a B level of high C.
• Mania would be high B, nearly an A, because I would have loved if they took some of the old, redone stages and did new stages instead. Otherwise, pretty cool game.
Basically most the other games I either haven’t played or am still olaying through, so I can’t give an accurate rating.
But agree on:
• CD
• S3 + S3&K
• SRB2
Those are the only other games I’ve beaten and can give an opinion on.
How to provoke a war:
That’s cool that you broke up F tier into 5 subcategories. Don’t often see that level of detail talking about fake blue hedgehog.
Shadow Generations is the only good game ever made.
Why is the original so low?
This ranking is way off because the best Sonoc games are the ones I played as a kid when I was really into Sonic and the worst ones are all the other ones
Why is Sonic Adventure DX ranked C, but regular Sonic Adventure ranked S.
Also, curious about Sonic Frontiers ranking.
IIRC DX has a lot more glitches to it than the original DX counterpart. It’s pretty bad
Oh that’s interesting, I didn’t know that. If that’s true it’s a shame as that’s the most accessible version unless you’re emulating.
Why didn’t SA2 get a higher ranking? (I spent an inordinate amount of time in the chao garden and hold that one in particular in very high regard). It also has a lot of replayability, though i will concede some of the missions weren’t that good.
That was my thought. Especially seeing Sonic Heroes above it, thought that game was trash in comparison.
Also, no love for Sonic: Riders? (F tier imo but worth a mention because someone out there is bound to enjoy it as much as my sister does.)
Uhhh, yo, where Sonic '06 at?
Was just about to ask this. It’s so good!
What’s the difference between sonic 3, sonic & knuckles, and sonic 3 & knuckles
when sonic 3 released, it was unfinished, and it contained only half of what the devs wanted to put in the game. so, later, they released sonic & knuckles, a stand-alone game that contains the other half. but if you mount sonic 3 on s&k (the s&k cartridge had itself a cartridge slot), you get the full game that the devs wanted, sonic 3 & knuckles, which contains both halves.
S3&K - the OG DLC expansion that actually delivered
Sonic R is A tier!?
As in, the very same tier you put Mania and Adventure 2?
Are you sure that wasn’t an accidental placement? Or like, are you giving it bonus points for the sound track?
Nah i actually like sonic R
Don’t get me wrong, I got the Saturn on launch and played quite a lot of Sonic R. I’m not saying it is unlikable.
But from a “relative quality of game design” point of view, putting it on the same level as 2, Mania, and Adventure 2, seems crazy to me.
On the other hand, if the list is just based on how much you enjoyed each game, then don’t mind me. Just an old man yelling at clouds.
Man i ain’t gonna say I played all these but I’d totally put mania above the older games. Nostalgia can’t beat such a solid title. And yea that includes Sonic 2
No Sonic Roboblast 2?
Also Sonic Mania being next to Sonic R is certainly… a choice.
The original Sonic is a C? GTFOH.
