Don't worry Frobman, I thought SA2 was a bit overhyped myself. When I was young(er), stupid(er) and first coming onto the internet, I read this fan fic that called SA2 the best game ever made. Looking back on it, it's just a stupid claim. I consider Sonic Adventure to be one of my favorite games of all time. I had so many fond memories playing the game and the impression just stuck.
I didn't like that SA2 took away that sort of "Free range" that SA had. How you just go straight to the next level rather than explore. The controls were either too stiff, or too slippery. Tails, being my favorite male character, seemed really dumbed down when they took away his ability to fly. :/ I mean come on. Now SA2 is a good game, but it's too often over hyped.
As for Sonic Heroes, I consider that the last of the good Sonic games. Many others disagree but I don't see what's so bad about it. It was a creative idea and while it had its mistakes, what game doesn't have a few bugs?

And don't forget how they redid Tails' character development, then later ignoring it to a point. And giving Amy stalker qualities, too. It also came to my attention that some of the stages can feel tacked on, when you keep in mind that the game originally was supposed to be just Sonic, Knuckles and Eggman playable, and the other characters were put in since people were ticked off that Tails and more weren't playable. Knuckles' stages were way too big and the Emerald detector was worse than the last game (In that only one item can be detected at a time, instead of all three). The car racing really felt tacked on.
Sure, it might be a good game, but I wouldn't call it the best game (same for Sonic Unleashed, which was both over rated and under rated. Story book games were also average at best for me). In terms of 3D games, Adventure and Heroes would be the ones I liked best. Unleashed was good, but yeah, some bits of it felt "meh".
All in all, I'll be playing Sonic Colours from tomorrow, which I'm hearing is pretty darn good. Especially based on what I saw and tried.

@ Frobman and Venatorphile: Hm, this is starting to get the second legnthy partially off-topic discussion about the same topic - lengthy as in 'it would be lengthy once I'd have posted my response' and 'partially off-topic' as in - 'lengthy discussions like that should have their own topic'so here's my response, in a new topic: coolape.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=videogame&thread=194

Finally people dare to say nowadays Sonic Heroes was good! It still is to this day my favorite 3D Sonic game^^ And I'm one of those rare Segafans who followed the blue guy from the Master System, Megadrive, through the Saturn and Dreamcast to this modern day! The Adventures are great too, but I prefer the fun light hearted Heroes to the complicated plot Adventures

Well not RIGHT NOW ( tv's taken ) I'm playing Ed Edd n Eddy's misEdventures on the PS2 It's a fun game, characters have the right personalities as in the cartoons and I mean as in quotes and actions, not looks because Eddy looks like he's high and Double-D looks like a frogmouth XD; The levels are pretty fun but they use bits of the cartoon's episodes but that doesn't ruin the fun =P and the titles of each levels are amusing ( Nightmare on Edstreet, Edzilla, etc. ) The Kankersisters are still Annoying tho, just like in the cartoon xD;

whilst waiting to get Sonic Colours on Monday I decided to play the original Super Mario Kart Frpm the Wii Virtual console. It was pretty fun and also challenging. As well as having coins that speed your car up a bit the AI racers had powerups like Yoshi can lay eggs, Peach throws out Shrink Mushrooms and Bowser can fire fireballs. I've been wondering how to get those powerups.

I myself am switching between Sonic Colours for the Wii (plenty of fun) and Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage for the XBOX 360, which is pretty serviceable to fans of the show. ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA WATAAA!!! You are already dead!

Just today I found a local "rummage sale" store, and bought "Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box" for 360 for only 10€ Game looks fun so far, got a whole city to crash into whenever I feel like it.

at the moment i'm playing Donkey Kong Country on the Wii from the Virtual Console. The visuals are good, the musics great and the levels are tough as hell.
