The game was making good progress and was scheduled for a release date in time for Christmas 1996. Sega needed a flagship platformer and it looked like Sonic was going to make his return in his first 3D debut. Sega were in need of a Sonic game for their struggling console, the Playstation had Crash Bandicoot and the Nintendo 64 had the much-loved Super Mario 64. Surely it was inevitable that creating a 3 dimensional game with a lightning fast character was going to have its problems? But at what exact point did it go wrong? Sonic Xtreme(ly unfortunate) Personally I feel the turning point was the cancellation of Sonic Xtreme for the Sega Saturn.

But something terrible happened, something went wrong and that took place around the transition to 3D. So I can remember the glory days, the days when his games were fun, simple and fast. My first console was a Mega Drive and the first Sonic game I ever played was Sonic the Hedgehog 2. My Generation Before I start I will admit that I am a life long Sonic fan. The latest Sonic and Sega game that must see the hedgehog back on form, but first lets see where it all went wrong. Lets start off by being honest and to the point, Sonic has not had a wholly great 20 years to look back on, so what is there to celebrate? But more importantly what has he got to look forward to? Well there is one last hope on the horizon in the form of Sonic Generations.
