In order of decreasing quality:Charli said:so, I've never actually played any sonic games... ^^' I'm thinking about giving one of the DS or Advance games a go to fix that apparent lack of video game history knowledge. Which one should I go for?
Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Perfection. Perfection that could easily be surpassed if SEGA had talent.
*****
Sonic CD - The time travel adds so much to this game, don't write it off.
*****
Sonic 1 - Buyer beware the Gameboy version sucks!
*****
Sonic 2 - The worst of the original tetrology, but that's nothing to be ashamed of.
*****
Sonic Advance - Should have been called Sonic the Hedgehog 4
****
Sonic Pocket Adventure - Return to the Genesis in this faithful 8-bit remix, believe it or not, it really is a new game.
****
Sonic Rush - Takes the gameplay in an all new direction, and it's pretty badass.
****
Sonic Colors DS - Sonic Rush with powerups, Wii version is better though.
****
Sonic Rush Adventure - Unfortunately bogged down by the storyline and overworld with rpg elements, the meat of the gameplay is still good.
****
Sonic Triple Trouble - The first Sonic game for 3DS virtual console. Probably the best game on the Game Gear.
***
Sonic Advance 3 - The character combos mix up the gameplay, but the levels are unmemorable.
***
Sonic's Classic Collection DS - Contains Sonic 1, 2 and 3K. It gets the job done if you have no other options, but poor presentation, compression, and slowdown mar otherwise timeless content.
***
Sonic Advance 2 - Probably the most linear Sonic game ever released. There is the novelty of a Metroid styled speed boost that was never used again.
**
Sonic Pinball Party - It's pinball
**
Sonic Generations 3DS - Sega even came out and admitted that this "sucks". Poor framerate, shallow gameplay, wonky controls, boring graphics, midi music, sometimes just fanservice isn't enough.
rp
Sonic Chronicles - Not even Bioware could save this catastrophe

Sonic Battle - Dirty Garbage
