We've seen him on the Sega, the Dream cast, the Wii and even in TV and Comics, yet every time I see him, I don't think what I used to think of him. Seeing him back then when he was at his height with his own cartoon and good games, I thought to myself "Oh boy! I hope he keeps this up! He's one of my favs!", but now I look upon the once great Sega mascot and only shake my head in disappointment.

Yes, I know, I shouldn't be to harsh on Sonic. But to be fair everyone, what happened to our once cherished Hedgehog? How did he go threw so much change to become better but in the end became only...well, tainted to gamers and the new generation? Its sad how he looks now. And no, I'm not talking about Sonic Boom (Though lets be honest, that show and some of the games are half past crap-tastic), but more or less the overall change in attitude and attention to him.

Lets think back, my fellow brothers and sisters in gaming, and think about a time when at one point, Sonic was considered world wide to be one of the most popular characters and pop icons in gaming and tv and even in paperback comics. (Yes I read those and still read them.). He was a character everyone loved! Heck, he even trumped Mario when it came to popularity! But now...its like looking at a shell of what used to be.

But then I remember, what about the games? Ah, the games was where Sonic shinned at his brightest. I still remember buying the first ever Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. The speed, the sound, the game play, its all so amazing. It was something I really enjoyed to the fullest. (I may even do a review of Sonic the Hedgehog here on Vizzed) Sonic 2, when the introduced Tails, was really cool to! Sonic and Knuckles was...okay. A bit strange but okay none the less. And when Sonic went 3D for the first time, it didn't disappoint!

But...now I look at him, and his new games and toys and even tv show (shudder) and I just think to myself...what happened to him? Where did it all go wrong? How is it that we went from showing off how awesome he is to simply defaulting him as "that cartoon guy"?

What do you all think, my brothers and sisters in gaming? I know a lot of us are and still is heavy fans of the great Hedgehog, but please, you guys must see what I see right? If so, please talk about it. I want to know how everyone feels overall about it. And don't be afraid to be honest. But at the same time, be respectful to your fellow gamers okay guys? With that, later!

Sonic never deserved it this hard.

His games were alright. But there was a spectacular drop in quality. I'm not sure if it's with different writers, or with progrsammers. But after Adventure 1 his games kinda...dropped. Adventure 2 was amazing, but there are certain levels that are buggy. Then we have issues with characters in general. They keep adding new ones, completely changing their personalities, then pretending they never existed. Although the comic book managed to keep ALL of them! And with the same, and in some cases, better personalities.
Somewhere down the line, I think Sonic Team just stopped caring about quality like they used to. And it's really disappointing because of how good Colors and Generations was.

I wonder what the character limit on this thing is.

Between Sonic's awful outings recently, Sega not really knowing what they're doing, it seems, and Sonic's fanbase itself, I'm not really sure what to think.

All I know is this: no one deserves the pain that Sonic has had to go through, nor what most of its fanbase has had to go through.

I'm just an aspiring hobbyist reviewer and writer who likes to talk way too much.

Sonic's history go up and down and all around. It is a mixed bag of what you are gonna get really as the gameplay is continually changing every single time. SEGA/Sonic Team either can't find a gameplay style that works or are afraid of it getting tedious and repetitive. Even the fanbase can't agree on what a Sonic game should be. That's how I see it anyway and is why we get quite a number of mediocre/bad Sonic games being released. The new sonic boom title is coming out soon and that looks OK from what I have seen but I really don't see it selling well thanks to its predecessor.
