The reason why Sonic has a bad reputation is simple: There have been a fair amount of bad Sonic games. However, Sonic games aren't considered bad purely because they're Sonic games, a number of Sonic games have been given good scores by reviewers (even IGN, who everyone here hates for being biased towards Sonic) in fact, recent games such as Colours and Generations got good reviews. I agree, but it seems when Sega releases a new Sonic game that turns out to be a flop, Sonic's reputation seems to be back to square one.

Now since Rise of Lyric isn't yet out wher eI live, I've been watching Game Grumps. Arin is uneasy with Sonic due to Sonic '06 and being that they're suppose to be grumpy with games will of course point out the games flaws.

But to me, gameplay seems alright. Not perfect but it is a game based on a caroon than all of Sega behind it. So I personally thing I will find this game more fun than I do for Sonic Lost World.

Sonic Lost World had decent reviews while as a Sonic fan I found the game rather un-Sonic like and more Mario like. In yet from what I heard, Sonic Lost World seemed to have had more possitive views, especially it's Nintendo based DLCs.

So it could be reviewers prefer Sonic games that are least like Sonic. But I also will admit that it could be my oppinions on Sonic Lost World and most Sonic games I don't like are from my perspective as a Sonic fan than a general game reviewer which I can't and won't say I am.
