What does this have to do with Free Riders? Every single flaw that the previous Sonic games and characters might have had, is ramped up to level 100. They just rush after Sonic, every dialog being nothing more then CONSTANTLY REPEATING WHAT THEY'RE OBSESSED WITH, and when they finally catch up with the main plot, they're immediately shoved to the sidelines, either begging sonic to help them or just cheering him on. Sure, the supporting cast still get's their own storylines, but they're .Ĭharacters like Shadow and Amy and all get one OBSESSION, their reason why to rush after Sonic/Eggman (The lucky supporting cast that is, some (knuckles in particular) doesn't even have that luxury) They don't have their own arc, they don't learn any lessons, they don't succeed in any goal, they do nothing. However, ever since Sonic heroes this hasn't been the case much. In Sonic adventure uno and duo, they did a decent job writing the story around it, and gave the supporting characters each their own little story arc, each with their own motivations, own lessons and morals to be learned and each with their own little victories. Now, in the 2d games, this wasn't a problem, it's just your awesome hedgehog with an attitude fighting robots. None of the other characters has a purpose. He's awesome, he's perfect, better then everyone else. Sonic is practically a Gary Stue character. Can't judge the gameplay since I never understood the appeal of the flying boards, so I leave that to judge for the experts)
But Free Riders is the ultimate example of how bad the series can get in it's most extreme cases. I will never say that any one Sonic game or plot will "Ruin the series forever!!" since every Sonic game clearly has it's own style. Dear lord, I never disliked Sonic and his friends as much as here.
