Who does not know Sonic the Hedgehog. Ask any teenager in any country and chances are high that they not only know Sonic, they also have some of his video games at home right now. It is impressive to think what an impact Sonic has had on the our social culture. But not everything Sonic touches turns into gold, not every game he stars in is an instant classic. Let's take a quick look at the bad games.
Sonic Labyrinth
This old game appeared on the handheld console. It looked very promising, because it looks 3D, but the developers took away many of the cool things Sonic the hedgehog is known for. One of these is the speed that he possesses, because in this game you just walk around.
Another bad idea for this game was the collection of three keys to complete the stage. How fun is that? It feels like a chore. You are walking through the stage looking for the keys and after you collected them, you have to find the exit.
The game features pretty bland stages. The different levels have different colored stages, but it is still uninspiring and does not stand out. The music could have been worked on a little better to.
Sonic Drift
This game was basically created, because Sega saw the huge success Nintendo had with Mario Kart. Sega wanted in on the action and created Sonic Drift. But they should not have made this game see the daylight at all.
The speed in this game is great. It is faster then Mario Kart. But they messed it up by having bad game play. The controls are very lagging and turning will become a drag. If the controls were more responsive, then this would have been more fun.
Sonic Shuffle
This is a game that appeared on the cool Dreamcast console. I really thought Sega would create another classic, but Sonic Shuffle let me down. It feels like the game is trying to be good, but is lacking the final finishing touches.
Your goal is to collect all the precious stones. The game offers many mini games that could have been left out. You basically play a board game and get to do mini games. Some of them are fun but most are irritating.
Looking at these games you will notice that Sega made a couple of mistakes, you cannot blame them because they were experimenting with the franchise and tried new and different things, but that does not mean that you should not stay away from these horrible games.
If you really cannot believe that these games are a waste of your time, go ahead and rent them. Do not buy them as you will return them the same day. If you are a die hard fan and want to collect all the Sonic games then try to buy them used or get them cheap from an online store.
