Top 5 Overrated Sonic Games

Hey, its the REAL kotori minami, everyones favourite cute little legendary maid, and boy, we have a topic to cover, the top 5 most OVERRATED Sonic the Hedgehog games, wether it be classic sonic purists praising a game to death because it tried nothing new, or a sequel to my 2nd favourite sonic game that dumbed down the plot to pander to little kids while jumping on the dragon ball craze of the early 2000s, get ready to drink your orange juice, because HERE WE GO!

5. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (i say battle because EVERYONE played that version, who owned a dreamcast?)

Boy, this game isnt just overrated, its SO OVERRATED, that people would marry the game if it was a human being, the game is nothing but a shameless stripped down version of what made the original Sonic Adventure SO GOOD when it also came to the gamecube 2 years after SA2B, people absolutely ORGASM over the chao garden with less content, the sonic stages with jank physics, loops that dont work, and simple overly linear level design like its the best thing ever and theres the dumbed down story with all that super saiyan goku garbage by adding shadow, an edgy, unlikeable emo who was thankfully given justice in Sonic 06, when they gave him a badass theme and great level design, in this game however, he is a sonic clone with the EXACT SAME MOVESET!, also, the dumbed down story also has little to NO CUTSCENES WHATSOEVER, you just go from linear level, to confusing, tedious and outright broken tails and knuckles levels, people actually think this "sequel" is the best sonic game to EVER GRACE planet earth, but lets be honest, your minds were blown by city escape, and everything else was a letdown, spoiler, not even city escape was that fun to begin with, and no, im not one of those critics that hate 3D sonic games, in fact, i prefer 3D Sonic over 2D Sonic and you know, actually want games with good level design, physics that actually work, emerald radars that actually work, basically, i dont want a broken overrated disaster like Sonic Adventure 2, i will be honest, i did enjoy it, but thats ONLY because of the sonic stages and SOME tails stages, the rest was garbage and i ragequit thanks to Knuckles AWFUL treasure hunting levels with a BROKEN RADAR!!!

4. Sonic Mania

"Sonic Mania Is The REAL Sonic 4" never has a greater lie been told, enter sonic mania, a game ONLY MADE to pander to fans unhappy (i wouldnt say unhappy, id say SO MAD that sega got PRESSURED into making this) with how Sonic the Hedgehog 4 turned out, the result? they got a bunch of fans to pander TO the "fans" that hated Sonic 4 with such a burning passion, as if it was the spawn of the devil, want proof? there was a comment in Js Reviews TERRIBLE "review" of sonic 4 that said that Christian Whitehead didnt like the game so he pushed himself to make better ones than sega, which is a complete LIE and just goes to show that this game, once again, is for nostalgiatards, by nostalgiatards, EXCLUSIVELY from "quirky" indie developers and Sonic Retro Purists, and the game turned out to be mediocre at best, with an overly large amount of zones for a classic sonic game, music that DOESNT FIT AT ALL with the zones theyre in, once again because indie developers like to be "Quirky", this game wasnt made for real fans of the series, this game was made for unhappy 30 year old neckbeards, truly sad that we get rehashed zones with nothing new instead of remastered zones with lots of new gimmicks, you wanna know why? because fans called the gimmicks and the new stuff like the homing attack "Sh*tty ****ing" and "****ing AtRoCiOuS!!!!" (looking at you cybertard)

3. Sonic the Hedgehog 3

JESUS CHRIST, IS THIS GAME OVERRATED! this game drags on, forever, it has 14, count on 14 ZONES! and all of them are completely MAZELIKE and outright confusing, also, the later boss battles and zones artificially pad the game out with inexcusably bad difficulty spikes, like carnival night zone, launch base zone, sandopolis zone and ESPECIALLY lava reef zone, this game, like sonic unleashed, which well talk about later, is just so overrated, people act like its the second coming of jesus, and that nothing comes close to this ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE CLASSIC of a game, honestly, this game doesnt even come close to the quality of Sonic 2 and Sonic 3D Blast, you can like the game, but cant deny its glaring flaws, imagine artificially PADDING OUT THE GAME by making the platforming sections 4 MINUTES LONG and having a near damn impossible boss fight at the end of each act?

2. Sonic and the Black Knight

MY WILL TO FIGHT THE KNIGHT! seriously game? cant this game be more cringe inducing? it has terrible automated gameplay, LAZY level design, bland cringy music that sounds like its from a cringy medieval epic film from the 1970s where everyone has thick bri-ish accents and goes, ello ello ello!, and poor storytelling and character development, with character redesigns that look like they were from deviantart and the dumbest villain ever, merlina the wizard, who has plans to make her kingdom better, by turning it into a fiery inferno? and king arthur gets completely abandoned in the story, which tells me that they were lazy with this shovelware fanfic garbage where all you do is go wiggle waggle with the wii remote and nothing else! and not only that, this game has VERY ANNOYING FANS who wont shut up about how "underrated" the game is, when literally EVERYONE bops their heads and sings the lyrics to "Knight of the Wind" they are super annoying and get angry when even ONE PERSON dislikes the sword gameplay, they are also MAJOR hypocrites as shadow with a gun is considered bad, but no, sonic with a sword? BEST GIMMICK EVUH! for more information, check out how sonic and the black knight is the most overrated sonic game by searching it up!

But wait a second, this is number 2? what could POSSIBLY top sonic and the overrated shovelware??

1. Sonic Unleashed (Xbox 360/PS3 Version)

This game is just terrible, the day stages start out promising with windmill isle act 2, but then act 3 comes along and the werehog is there, you go through boring and extremely difficult beat em up sections that were poorly programmed and terribly thought out, the day stages FORCE you to find medals with HEAVY medal gates for progression, even though the game is a boost game, it just plain FORCES YOU! later on, levels like cool edge and dragon road were not only some of the most UNSATISFYING 3D GAMEPLAY i have EVER PLAYED, with CONSTANT death traps, spikes, platforming sections you cant see coming with bottomless pits, how ironic that it wasnt dimps that made this? after all, dimps DID MAKE the sonic advance series, notorious for its difficulty and constant bottomless pits, the night levels got MUCH MUCH WORSE, with constant AWFUL platforming sections where the homing grab WONT WORK half the time and send you to your death! and the mini bosses being SO DIFFICULT, that even with the unleash gauge MAXED, they STILL TOOK ME DOWN, and arid sands, OH BOY, the day stage design is ABYSMAL, with constant people EVERYWHERE, spike traps pretty much SPAMMED, i was fricked off to the core, especially after cool edge night and that AWFUL section with the vault bars going up, HOW DID THIS GET ACCEPTED AS A "family game" frick off calling it a family game, this game has inexcusable difficulty and the level design is unacceptable quality, imagine a kid crying trying to beat the awful werehog puzzles in skyscraper scamper and trying not to die because of the EXTREMELY NARROW, SPIKE FILLED BALANCE BEAMS, AND THAT ANNOYING TITAN THAT THROWS YOU OFF A BUILDING, and then arid sands night, after A WHOLE YEAR OF MY LIFE WASTED AND ME *SOMEHOW* STAYING POSITIVE ON THE GAME, THIS NIGHT ACT MADE ME LITERALLY BREAK DOWN AND CRY, WITH THE CONSTANT DARN FIRE WIZARDS, THE STUPID TITANS AT THE END, I WAS IN FLIPPING *TEARS* PLAYING THIS "FAMILY GAME", yet this game is an absolute masterpiece, according to the biased nostalgia goggle ridden "fanbase", people have called this game the best sonic game IN. THE. SERIES. just no, not after the emotional TRAUMA the game put me through, i will never forget sonic unleashed on the Xbox 360 because it is STILL the only game to this day that made me so frustrated i was red faced, sweating and angry, if you think sonic 06 is "unplayable" please play this, i cant believe there are fanboys that say "i just suck at it" and that this level of difficulty in a kids game is perfectly fine, yeah, because dark souls level difficulty is fun for the entire family!

Phew, i needed to get my opinions on unleashed 360, thats honestly how i think of that game, anyway, what do YOU think is the most overrated? go in the discussions!
