they need to do something drastic
.....how about the next Sonic game feature a lengthy FMV where Tails gets crushed by Dr. Robotnic, and they have a lengthy funeral for Tails.....ps, I hate Tails

I think the next game should be a Sonic & Shadow/Dr. Robotnic game.
...take it back to the roots, yet keep it fresh

The character doesn't suck but the stupid situations and bad camera angles they put Sonic in sucks.

My opinion is to ditch 3D Sonic games. They suck in general. I would give Sonic the Viewtiful Joe treatment. I'm pretty sure that would work. Maybe in cel-shaded, to give it a retro look, or, maybe not, but, I think 2D would work better for Sonic.

i dont mind the concept and characters of sonic. its the games i dont like. in the games that i've played the characters take too long to get to a decent speed. the games would be vastly improved if the controls were similar to that of mario. eg have to hold down a button to run. i know that u can make him spin and then make him run but its too start stop. plus i think he gives of a gay vibe.

I actually don't have a problem with the new Sonic games except camera angles. People complain that "Sonic games don't play the same", but at the same time, neither does Mario games (Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario, exc.) but that doesn't make them bad games, it's just the developers decided to do something different.

Sega should bring Sonic back to its 2D roots, the transition into 3D hasn't been very good. I would like to see a new 2D Sonic game.

The difference: Mario's 2D to 3D transition worked well. Sonic's didn't. SA was good, SA2 sucked, SH was just OK.
And they really need to get rid of Tails. His voice makes me want to drive a nail through my head.

Sega should work with Nintendo and the guy that was in charge of Jak and Dexter Jason somebody on a Sonic game.

That's not always true. One could say that Sonic's transition did work. One could say that Super Mario 64 was good, Luigi's Mansion sucked, and Super Mario Sunshine was just ok.

I really didn't think Luigi's Mansion or Sonic Adventure 2 were bad, I enjoyed them both.

Ok... here's what Sega has to do.

Everything after Sonic 3 should be chucked, and forgotten about.

Start over with 3d characters in a 2D world.

And anyone who voted for "young" as a word to discribe Tails, you're a dumbass. If that is the dominant result, they'll keep his annoying preschooler's voice.

Anybody ever play that Klonoa game for PS2? It's like 2D in a 3D world. Sonic should play something like that.

luigis mansion wasnt a mario game, it wanst a platformer, dont classify that with them...all the 3d sonic games i felt were terrible, sonic adventure being the worst! The voice acting sucks and really needs to be improved. I originallyr eally liked tails, but like, luigi, and slippy from starfox, once turned 3d the creators decided to make them the gay characters. They needed more questions about gameplay, and i felt the majority of hte names they had for titles were pretty terrible.

I fucking love Luigi. He's the best character IMO in the Mario series (well, I've always used him in the platformers because of his pwning jumping skills). Anyways, I've been saying that sonic needs to have a game with 3d graphics in a 2d gameplay enviroment for awhile. Go check the Sonic Syndicate thread in general gaming. I think many old diehard Sega fans would flip out.

But personally I liked the 3d Sonic games alot. I honestly found Sonic Adventure 2 to be funner than it's predecessor. It had a greater storyline with Shadow and much more to play (I got all 180 emblems for it). DX was great but suffered from worse camera angles than SA 1 for Dreamcast. It did pack alot of replay value with the unlockables though. Good Poll. Shadow needs his own game.

Sonic Adventure 2 is actually my favorite Sonic game, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was never crazy about any of the others. I didn't even like the 2d ones. (Hey, to each his own, right?) It's pretty cool that Sega would make a poll like this though. I do like the Sonic characters; they definitely have more personality and depth than say, Mario. The Sonic games always have a great sound track and atmosphere, but the games are usually either too easy or just awkward.

Luigi's Mansion wasn't a platformer, this I know, but it can still be classified as a Mario game. The only reason why people say the transition of Sonic didn't work well is because Mario has a ton of 3D games, with most of them being good. Sonic only has 3 true 3D games, disincluding Sonic Jam. The transition was good, but not fully seen because there isn't alot of them. Give Sonic 2 or 3 more games, Sega will get it right.

all of marios true 3d games, in the actual mario series, and not spin offs are good. And might I clarify, I do like luigi the most out of the mario characters, however, they made him more gay. In paper mario he had to stay home, in super smash bros melee...just look at his taunt thing, i mean come on! In Luigis Mansion he was some wuss that was freaking out everywhere he went. Luigi needs better roles.

In Mario 64 DS, everyone makes fun of him...even the bunnies. So yeah, I know what your saying.

I feel the same exact way about eveerything. ALso, the Sonic atmosphere is truly one of my favorite things about the Sonic series. I just hope the next Sonic Adventure will be Cube exclusive.

i like sonic and all the characters in it but i think they do need to go back to 2d with better grafics and really long levels then i would buy it. now i dont buy because i dont have the same speedy fealing i use to have.

Im still a little shocked after NiGHTS they didnt give sonic 2d gameplay in a 3d world. The only major problem i found with 3d gameplay wiht sonic has been the tiny left and right movements my left thumb down from nerve damage that sends me into a wall.If anything they need to give them wider tracks for folks with my problem, but im sure im a minority.Overall im just hoping for a more classic feel to them namely the checker board land scape and some thing more straight forward with less turning and maybe more point to point transports like in 3 (all those cool machines to ride and use were just neat), other wise i think they did a good job.
