The possibilities go on? To 3D Blast and (at a push) Spinball? Or Mean Bean Machine? Not enough choice here tbh, though I'd pick Sonic 2 (Sonic 2'd make it onto my all-time Top-10 list, probably number 3 behind Metal Gear Solid and Baldur's Gate 2).

BG2 is fun :o.

But personally, I had more fun playing Dungeons and Dragons Heroes and Gauntlet Dark legacy, hehe

Post by: Crowbar on February 16, 2006, 07:38:32 pm: Spinball and Sonic 3D are better than people give them credit for.

That said, my fave is by far S3&K. I think Sonic 2 is kinda overrated.

Post by: sonicam on February 17, 2006, 07:26:20 pm: Yeah, Sonic 2 is very overrated, actually, to me, I think it sucks, meh. Well, my favorite Genesis game is Sonic & Knuckles, but I never got to fully appreciate Genesis and only had like 2 games for it, Sonic 2 and Sonic & Knuckles. :/ I was always a Nintendo fan... :(

MAN HE EVEN DISABLED ME FROM USING SUBMISSIONS!!! My favorite Genesis Sonic Game has to be Sonic 3 and Knuckles for it has the only true appearance of Hyper Sonic, Super Tails, and Hyper Knuckles. What would've been cool would be that by Connecting Sonic 2 to S&K would allow you to play as Sonic, Tails, S&T, or Knuckles and use their Super and Hyper forms. Also in Sonic 1, but the Blue Sphere game was a nice move, though.

(True Sonic 3 is what I call S3+Knuckles)

My favorite Genesis game would be Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

I like Sonic 1, it's just not my favorite. Sonic 2 was really good.

But Sonic 3 and Knuckles was great. The savestates introduced in 3 were awesome. But the levels themselves. They seemed to be lengthened, and harder. Maybe they just seem longer because of the set up (Miniboss, act over, continue path)...

To me, it seemed the first game with an actual bit of storyline, which set up the rest of the series. Sure, in Sonic 1 and 2 you had to collect the emeralds and whatnot, but it didn't explain much.

This told us about the ME and Knuckles and all that.

Now, there were the Super Emeralds... But I'm just going to ignore that point right now. XD

Post by: Auriman1 on October 16, 2006, 09:26:42 pm: My favorite would have to be Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It had some of my all-time favorite 2D Sonic music, and I couldn't begin to count the number of times I've played that game. It also featured the best (IMO) multi-player for any 2D Sonic game (Running laps in S3&K just wasn't as satisfying). Sonic 3 & Knuckles would come in as my close second.

I agree with all of that. Except I'm trying to figure where Sonic CD fits in, both in gameplay and music.
Maybe after S3&K for gameplay, but in second (after Sonic 2) for music.
Oh, and by the way, I've only heard the US version. *puts on bulletproof, blastproof armor*

I don't know if the memories of playing Sonic 2 affect anything. Maybe a little.
Even SA... I still remember trying to glitch through the gate to the jungle (at least I'm pretty sure that's what I was doing... I never figured I'd succeed eventually) back when it was in stores.
But anyway, this is off-topic.
Title: Re: The best sonic games for the genesis
Post by: KnucklesSonic8 on October 18, 2006, 06:30:54 pm: Yeah, for me, multiplayer in S2 was greatly better than the m.p in S3. I still have fond memories of it... 'specially Special Stage. I still play the game's multiplayer till this day. :)

Gameplay:
S3K > Sonic CD > Sonic 2 > Sonic > Knuckles Chaotix

Music
Sonic CD > S3K > Knuckles Chaotix > Sonic 2 > Sonic

Music
Sonic CD > S3K > Knuckles Chaotix > Sonic 2 > Sonic
Chaotix? I'd forgotten about that, although it isn't really Genesis, anyway.
I'm thinking more like:

gameplay:
S2 > S3&K > SCD > S&K Maybe Chaotix goes here, just after S&K, but maybe it should rank higher.

music:
S2 > SCD > S&K > Chaotix

Oh, and you are aware that this is the US Sonic CD, right? If you already noticed I said that,
CONGRATULATIONS! You have good taste in music, and you're someone who doesn't complain
about that version. :D (I don't doubt that the Japanese one has good music,
but there probably isn't as much of a difference as some people seem to think.)

Wait a minute... is Sonic CD that great? It's a little slower, and... no, wait... it has a Time Attack and stuff.
But then, I remember Chaotix being fast and fun, and having cool special stages.
Title: Re: The best sonic games for the genesis
Post by: Bilan on October 20, 2006, 06:59:30 pm: The Jap soundtrack to SCD is MASSIVLY different
Title: Re: The best sonic games for the genesis
Post by: Thorn on October 20, 2006, 07:38:10 pm: ^Props go to the Japanese soundtrack for being so upbeat, but I think that the US tracks still get the job done. They just set a different mood to the levels, e.g. Collision Chaos has a much lighter mood in the Japanese version.

Also IMO I'd put Chaotix music in 2nd, below Sonic CD (either one). I might just be sick of the Genesis music from hearing it for so long. And the keyboards in the Chaotix Sound Test were a nice perk.
Title: Re: The best sonic games for the genesis
Post by: KnucklesSonic8 on October 22, 2006, 11:59:44 am: Chaotix Music is great! Not all of the songs are up to par with the others but overall it's a good game soundtrack. Personally, I'd put it above the US Sonic CD music, but as you guys said, the JPN is different so my opinion could change after hearing it...
Title: Re: The best sonic games for the genesis
Post by: Marth on October 22, 2006, 08:48:40 pm: I know it's very different. What I meant by "difference" was that I don't expect that
the Japanese soundtrack will be way better. If it is, it must be the best-sounding Sonic game ever.

It has the same past music as US, right? And does it also have some jingles from SA (invincibility and speed shoes)?

Chaotix's music is good, but I don't think it can beat Sonic 2. Speed of Sound is great, though.
Title: Re: The best sonic games for the genesis
Post by: Bilan on October 23, 2006, 10:07:36 am: None of the music is the same between the US and Jap soundtracks, unless my ears are deceiving me anyway.

The music in the Past for every level is the same. This from the man who introduced me to Galbadia Hotel. Go listen to both.

Post by: Marth on October 28, 2006, 09:42:27 pm: It's interesting that your ears deceived you, even though you don't know what the US version sounds like.
Also, make that, "due to its supposed inferiority". Again, I haven't heard the Japanese soundtrack yet,
but I already know that the US version is up to Sonic standards, whether it's slightly inferior or not.
