      Why did you ranked 6:18 so low on the list but put Sonic Unleashed on the list? Unleashed is mediocre and 6:18 should be in the top 10.

      ​@@GFCProductionsxEasy! The answer is length. Sonic 2 is a quick fix that perfectly showcases the fast nature of the franchise. Almost every Act is the perfect length, and they prove what they need to do without outstaying their welcome. This makes the game more accessible for beginners too, since they will feel less inclined to give up playing a level due to how quick they pass by. My brother for example isn't really a fan of retro games, but he still gets a kick out of Sonic 2 because of the short and sweet lengths of each Act. If I got him to play Sonic 3&K or Mania, he would most likely give up because the levels just feel much longer due to how the Acts are handled. I should make it clear, I love Sonic 3&K and Mania. But in terms of how a beginner would play these games, I think Sonic 2 edges it simply based off how quick each level goes by.

    I’m so glad Sonic Frontiers, although admittedly rough around the edges, is good enough to be considered one of the Blue Blur’s best games. It’s great since Sonic is in dire need of a legit W for a long while and great new direction for the series. It even got a nomination and sold over 2 million in a month, which hasn’t happened in the franchise for years. It’s also great that Sonic 2, Sonic 3, and Sonic Adventure 2 are still considered classics.

That said, when you spoke about Sonic 1… you showed gameplay footage of Sonic CD, which was released after Sonic 2. Although CD was also a good game in it’s own right, so I’m glad to see it was in the vid even if it’s gameplay accompanied the wrong game. Although CD gameplay also represented it’s own game so… CD is so cool it appeared twice.

    A good list for the most part but personally I never understood people putting Sonic 2 over Sonic 3 & Knuckles. And this is coming from someone who's first game he ever played was Sonic 2. I felt Sonic 3 & Knuckles took everything that made Sonic 2 great and expanded on it. Has larger stages giving more exploration, elemental shields, more playable characters with more abilities, a better system for entering bonus stages without having to carry 50 rings, more stages and Hyper characters as the cherry on top. Not trying to start an argument or anything but I legitimately am curious as to why many people prefer Sonic 2 over 3 & Knuckles if someone can explain it to me

    Sonic 3 & Knuckles as a single game was the first Sonic game to play as a young child, it still holds something special in my heart till this day. Nice gameplay, vibrant graphics, appealing soundtracks (props to and RIP MJ) and other cool stuff. I also played Sonic R on my pc, I wasn't a big fan of racing games but it was fun. I played Sonic 1, 2 and CD on my phone. I loved the remastered soundtracks.

    As a Sonic the Hedgehog 2 truther, it feels good to see it at number 1. I know it doesn't have the save system of 3 & Knuckles and Mania, but it was my first video game ever and every level is a delight to play and highly nostalgic for me. But if I'm being somewhat objective, Mania should really be number 1, followed by Sonic 3 & Knuckles, then Sonic 2, then CD. CD isn't a bad game by any stretch, but the time travel mechanic and the lack of the spin dash make it a little less fun of an experience than the other 3 I mentioned. Sonic Mania is just so good, the biggest complaint anyone could have is that isn't enough "original stages". Hopefully one day we get a sequel.

  • @Dorian_Scott
    @Dorian_Scott 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So, this is definitely going to be a hot take. But... I completely disagree agree with _"Sonic Adventure 2"_ being ranked higher than the first game. _"Sonic Adventure 2"_ is a terrible game. Unlike the first game where nearly every gameplay style was fun, Adventure 2 gave us *ONE* good level type and two terrible ones (Tails & Knuckles). The Knuckles levels in the first game were a ton of fun. The level designs perfectly complimented Knuckles's abilities and the hint system was very useful. But Adventure 2 introduced a couple of changes that really hold it back from being at least decent. The nerfed radar that only locks onto one Master Emerald piece at a time can be really irritating because there *_will_* be moments where you'll find one, but it isn't the piece that the game wants you to find. They want you to look for *_that_* one, then come back for the one that wasn't shown on your radar. *WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT LOCKING ONTO MULTIPLE EMERALDS AT THE SAME TIME!?* The level designs also take a hit here as (with the exception of Pumpkin Hill) they don't complement Knuckles' abilities as well as the first game. They're smaller and Knuckles's ultra fast running speed only makes it more annoying to traverse these forgettable stages.
    I also hated the shooting levels. In the first game, Gamma's stages were not just about killing enemies. They challenged you to get to the end of the stage within a strict time limit. And shooting multiple enemies at once rewarded you with a lot of extra time. It was fun. But Adventure 2's answer to those stages is to make them incredibly boring. No challenge, no satisfaction from just utterly wrecking everything in your path. You're just walking slowly through several bland, uninteresting levels just mowing down the same enemies over and over again with an *INCREDIBLY ANNOYING* high-pitched "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP." How is that fun? The only stage that I liked was that level with low gravity. It asked you to do a punch of tricky platforming. A nice change (and much needed) change of pace.
    The best parts of Adventure 2 are *EASILY* the Sonic levels. It continued what made the Sonic levels in Adventure 1 great while adding a few new mechanics. A higher emphasis on speed this time around, too. Anytime I would re-play this game, I would only play those levels because none of the other gameplay styles could replicate just how fun they are.
    If there's anything that I can definitely agree with the masses for, it is both the Chao Garden and the soundtrack (... minus the Knuckles raps). The Chao Garden is a nice break from the action and it's a lot of fun just seeing what your Chao will transform into, watching it utterly destroy the competition in the races and even boxing. The soundtrack, while I don't think it's *_as_* good as the first game, is still great on its merits. My favorite tracks were always City Escape and Crazy Gadget.
