*SPOILERS THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED*
This has been something I've wanted to do for a few months now since I started playing through the Sonic games. I haven't shown all of them, and plan on saving some of them for other subjects in mind. This video is more or less a reflection of the Sonic journey thus far and what I've learned along the way, from the perspective of someone that's known about the franchise but has only recently taken a dive into one of the most iconic franchises of all time. A lot of the gameplay shown that is mine are from first time playthroughs, so it's not going to be anything spectacular. Which is why I also showed a few speedrun from other players, to showcase what dedicated Sonic players can do.
Notes:
*Haven't gotten around to Sonic Unleashed, don't have a 360 copy and I refuse to play an inferior version of a game
that was meant for HD. Have heard good things about it though.
*Sonic Heroes has also been part of the journey. But that's a game I'm saving for another topic I have in mind.
*There's many I haven't touched yet in the series. But not every game was needed for this topic I wanted to talk about.
