About a month ago i was arguing with Buck1 at how crap Sonic is, well i'd like to take this oppotunity to said "I was wrong".

I went to Toys R Us today and played Sonic on PS2, I found it very enjoyable and really smooth, i like the way you can go really fast up all of them loops and stuff. Its deffinately improved from the one i played on Sega Megadrive (Not just graphically).

Now i have played the latest Sonic it has got me into a adventure kind of mood and im now thinking of buying a Gamecube as well as getting my new PS2. I wont be getting GC straight away but i'll probably get it within the next month or two. Again, sorry Buck1 for insulting you.

Yeah, GP is right. Games back in the Sonic days never had deep storylines but now they do and thats what makes people dislike it, because they're too retro.

I think the main problem is everyone equates Sonic with being great on the 2D so when they play the 3D, they don't get the same feeling. The fact is, they are different. Sonic was great fun to play in 2D but I've found myself getting more involved in the story on the 3D games.

I've not played a Sonic game where I haven't found at least 2 things that have made me go back and play them again... and again. I suppose the recent stuff is for the new generation and the total die hard Sonic fans but I think everyone has to realise that the games in 2D and 3D will never feel the same. No game ever works that way.

I prefer the older Sonic games that were around in the Mega-Drive days. I remember sitting for ages trying to complete Sonic, remember you couldn't save or anything and there were 20 odd levels to get through! I only ever completed it once but it was pretty satisfying really.

I tried the Sonic games on the Dreamcast but it just wasn't the same. However I got an SP a few months ago and I'm thinking of buying Sonic Advance 3. Anyone played the Advance versions?

What he said.

Oh, and if you get the chance, play Sonic Pocket Adventure on Neo Geo Pocket. It's great old-skool stuff.

Anyone who thinks that the new Sonic games are better than the old ones really deserves to be shot.

The old ones were unquestionable classics while the recent efforts have been scraping around the average mark.
