You know me, the fighting freak Knuckles,
And we're at Pumpkin Hill,
You ready?

I ain't gonna let it get to me, I'm just gonna creep,
Down in Pumpkin Hill I gots to find my lost piece.
I know that it's here, I can sense it in my feet,
The great Emerald's power allows me to feel.
I can't see a thing but it's around somewhere,
I'm gonna hold my head 'cause I have no fear.
This probably seems crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory,
A ghost tried to approach me and got leery.
Ask him a question and he vanished in a second,
I'm walkin' through valleys cryin' pumpkin in the alley.
Didn't seem happy but they sure tried to get me,
Had to back 'em up with the fist, metal crack 'em.
I'm hearing someone saying you a chicken, don't be scared!
It had to be the wind, 'cause nobody wasn't there.
I searched and I searched as I climbed up the wall,
And then I started to fly, I went in deeper!

Knuckles and Rouge truly got the best music in that game. Rouge got smooth trip hop and Knuckles got ridiculous raps.

I will disagree that SA1 was the last good classic Sonic. The portable ones were mostly good for awhile and Colors and Generations were both pretty great (certainly better than SA1).

Yeah, agreed with this. I felt like SA1 was the last "classic" good Sonic game. If you take away Big the Cat, the gameplay is a lot of fun. I liked City Escape in SA2 and after that it's all downhill, no pun intended. Tails/Robotnik shooting sections are not fun, and the Find the Shard segments with Knuckles and Rouge are annoying as poo poo. Good music, though.

Someday I'd like to try Sonic Lost World, but I haven't heard anything good about it, honestly...

I still play Sonic games for the hell of it sometimes. Sonic 4 was frustrating and sluggish with a really awful camera. SA1 was alright considering what it was. 2 Had a few decent Sonic and Shadow levels, but the bosses were crap and the Knuckles/Rouge levels were loving hideous.. 06 was obviously garbage with no redeeming qualities. Unleashed had potential, but the Werehog levels were unncessary and excrutiatingly long and the medallion-collecting was bullshit (Sonic's fast levels were pretty fun). Colors was a genuinely good game. Generations was good, but some of the level design is wonky and the last boss seems like they hit a dead-end. Lost World is supposedly annoying on the Wii U because it has lots of gameplay quirks whose tutorials only popped up on the tablet during gameplay (when you couldn't focus on them).

I don't agree that there have been no good 3D Sonic games, but they really need to be given to the Colors/Generations caliber of developers, have their stories completely gutted, stop worrying about maximizing playtime, and given a reasonable amount of development time.

I have heard good things about Unleashed's regular Sonic levels. Would like to play through that sometime, especially if the rest of the game is as good as the Sonic Generations version of its one level Rooftop Run.

I think that Colors and Generations are great Sonic games, just necessarily classic just because they're from the last 5 years. But yeah, that gap between Sonic Adventure and Sonic Colors was exhausting.

When I was younger, Sonic Xtreme was the game I waited like two years for and then was crushed when it never came out. I was so psyched, followed all of the magazine articles on it, all that. Was so excited. I guess the source code for it is on the internet now so people can play unfinished builds of it? From what I've heard, it's pretty awful, so I guess we dodged a bullet with that?

If you don't care anything about the story, yeah, why not. MGSV's gameplay is definitely some of the best in the series, but the plot is definitely my least favorite, so knock yourself out

On a straight up entertainment level Sonic 06 is actually one of my favorite games ever made. Like it's just this perfect storm of broken gameplay married to an insane plot times semi-popular characters but with enough of a budget to be visually interesting.

Less anime than Peace Walker.

Then again, it's not 100%, it was rushed at the end, so maybe all the obscenely Japanese stuff was cut? :shrug:

If you need "Maximum anime" I think your maximum should be "Star Ocean: Till the End of Time"

I was told that was even more Japan than most Japanese are used to. It sorted the hardcore otaku from the casual otaku, so to say.

I think MGS:PW is about 5 on the SO:TtEoT scale, with MGS5 hitting 4, maybe 3

PW had the date with P/K, and the vocaloid robots you could customize, so that's a lot of strong points for a high grade.
