Sonic Adventure was a good game, but unfortunately Sonic Team went on to expand and build on all of its worst elements - the story, the ancillary characters - basically, everything apart from the levels themselves.

Sonic and Knuckles... although I liked it, didn't feel the same... I think after Adventure it really took a dive. Sonic Rush picked the series back up on the DS, but then fell again... Dark Brotherhood was good, but it's not what I think of when I think Sonic. The game is supposed to be fast paced, not a turn based RPG... Unleashed would've been good... if it weren't for the unleashed part. I don't want to play God of War when I'm playing sonic...

3D for the sake of 3D caused Sonic's downfall, along with a lot of other games and genres. Instead of being able to concentrate on building decent levels they started messing around with characters etc. and let's face it, Sonic was at his best when he STHU and ran.

I would say Sonic Adventures 2. as the 1st sonic adventures was cool and fast and really showed what the Dreamcast can do.. SA2 was an expansion with more characters, but didn't have the same "wow" facor. and since then... it's been like a boeing plane heading nose into the ground.

I lost interest after Sonic 2. I am hoping for an HD 2D retro Sonic game.

You named the one that really killed it for me. I loved Sonic up until Sonic Adventures 2, and that was a great game and I still love it, but everything after that has been really, really awful. Sonic Heroes was tripe.

Honestly, I'd say it started to go downhill with the first Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast. Sure, it wasn't a bad game, but it laid the groundwork for the crap we get today. It introduced all of Sonic's new annoying friends beyond Tails and Knuckles, and forced you to play as them. It brought the series to 3D, but in the transition had to take control away from the player for a lot of the loops and such. Finally, when the game's in 3D, with how fast Sonic runs, they have to build a loooooong level, which is easier in 2D, but in 3D to make the game longer than a couple hours they have to slow it down by putting in character interaction and non-sonic characters and gameplay mechanisms, which in a Sonic game, very few people want to play. So overall, Sonic Adventure wasn't a bad game, but it really signalled the beginning of the end of the Sonic franchise as we know it.

Since when did Sonic ever have a point?
