User blog comment:FlashStrike/Why are you a Sonic fan?/@comment-4220590-20120415233231

The first sonic game I played was Sonic Heroes. I didn't think much of it at first but I was drawn in by all the different characters and the sense of fast-phased gameplay. Though the story was simple I really like it and I found all the characters great especially Sonic. I usually hate arrogant heores, but sonic had qualities I really admired; he is always true to himself, he is fun and compasionated, smurg and cocky in somehow a good way, and downright awesome.

As I learned more of Sonic's adventures I became more thrilled about what sonic was capable of, instead of just being a speedster that runs around, but a person without boundries and can seemenly make anything happen and press on though with his sheer force of will and desire to do good. He doesn't need a reason, he just does what he feels like, which is being a great hero, a role model and inspiration for others and fun in many cocky situations. If I have to sum it up, I mainly became a sonic fan due to sonic's nature.

I was also caught by all the colorful characters (bother they physically fgiures and personalities) and the story lines which could be rough despite having animal characters in them, showing that though the characters were cute, they could be presented in serious situations.

Finally, I can say I was also caught by sonic universe. I don't know exactly what makes it so different from other similar universes, but I just find it exciting and thrilling with so many characters and challenges and worlds, with magical jewels and so forth... I just found very fitting with my personality. I also like the comics especally the archie comics since we get to see sonic in different situations he usually don't get to see in the games, and really see his heroic nature

All in all, I can only say that I became a sonic fan because I love sonic, his universe, all the characters (seriously, I can't think of anything bad about them (well maybe fleetway sonic)) and their exspanded universe. Simple as that.
