The Worst Sonic Games

Even though Sonic the Hedgehog is admired and looked up to by many fans because of the excellent games that came out, there are a bunch of games that should have never seen the daylight. Most of them are so bad that they will make you cringe if you have ever played them. Let's take a look at the worse sonic 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 games also appeared on the handheld Sega made. Sonic drift is a racing game that is very fast. This is the first racing game that features the famous characters from Sonic the hedgehog. Take a guess who they copied?

The game misses that fun factor that is available in Mario Kart. Remember how you used to play Mario Kart with your friends and tried to beat them by collecting the necessary items. That was fun and fun is something this game is lacking, because it is too boring.

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.

You have to collect a bunch of precious stones to finish the game. You get these by playing the board game and finishing some boring mini games. Good thing is that the mini games are not hard.

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 want to test these games out yourself, go ahead and rent them. Do not buy these games, because chances are high that you will bring them back to the store. Or if a friend has them, try to borrow it from him or her. Your friend probably will not care if you keep it and will be more than happy to get rid of it. Just play the classics and you will be fine.
