I agree with that because I was a young adult when those games came out and I didn't own a Dreamcast but I do love Sonic Mania now and I want to introduce my godkids to Sonic from that game and the older games
I love the classic games growing up, but I adapted to the adventure series and stopped at forces, and I was disappointed in forces cause it didn't have that adrenaline feeling anymore, it was too slow! Lol!
@Itch-HeSay I used to be a hardcore Sonic fan and I think those plus Unleashed are the only truly great ones. Generations was the only post Unleashed game that actually felt like Sonic. Everything else was all over the place and didn't even feel like the characters. Besides the gameplay taking a nosedive over the years, that's another reason that I just fell out of love with Sonic when I got older. Feels like they don't even try anymore :/
@@IKIGAIofficial I think the majority might say SA2 but personally I think they're both great in their own way, it just comes down to preference I guess
@@IKIGAIofficial SA1 has an extensive hub world, so if you're looking for more of a SM64-like experience, that game is better. SA2 is much more linear and definitely feels like a much shorter game, though they did perfect Chao World.
@@billzee89 Yeah, that makes total sense. Still, I just find it so cool that a Hollywood actor is recognising someone with immense talent, especially since he doesn't get enough recognition and attention for his work.
Reg: Welcome to the Salty Spitoon. How tough are you? Me: How tough am I? I've beaten Sonic 2 many times without save states! Reg: Yeah, so? Me: As Knuckles. Reg: Uh, right this way. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Having played the game gear, I wonder what Ben’s reaction would have been seeing Fang the Sniper in Sonic Mania. For me seeing him along with Bean and Bark was a highlight for sure, I hope they become main villains with Eggman in a potential sequel to sonic mania
My favourite Sonic games (beside 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles): Sonic CD Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 Sonic Heroes Sonic Generations Sonic Advance trilogy Sonic Rush Sonic Mania
I'll give the interviewer credit for bringing up the Adventure games. Oh and the trick to beating Sonic 2 without saves is to stack up continues for the final fight, because you'll need it. From there it's trial and error at the end.
I think Ben Shwartz wants the Monopoly on Characters associated with the colour Blue. first Dewey Duck then Leonardo and now Sonic. who's next? Megaman?
@@amiibopimp852 did you even watch the clip? He loves Sonic 1 but his favourite is Sonic 2 and also speaks about sonic mania. You're telling me that somebody who has completed sonic 2 has never played another sonic game? Get lost with that gibberish.
With the right mods the best 3D Sonic is the PC version of Sonic Adventure 1. Unmodded it's the Dreamcast version. SA2 Battle has some of the best local multiplayer of all time though, along with the chao gardens.

IAM 32 YEARs old and my first game in 1994 was sonic 1 it was my first game i played! since them iam gamer. i play all action games and most fifgters. see my videos. sonic is my favrorite platform series!
The Advance games were all great! I’m a big fan of Colors on the Wii for the 3D games. I actually really enjoyed Lost World with its parkour moves as well. I wish they would work on improving that and incorporate it in more new 3D titles. It wasn’t perfectly executed but it was pretty fun.
My Top Favorite Sonic Games 1. Sonic Adventure DX 2. Sonic '06 3. Sonic Frontiers 4. Sonic Unleashed (X360/PS3) 5. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle 6. Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric
Yeah. Seems that way... But even Jeff Fowler said the video games don’t have much plot, which makes me think he doesn’t know much about the games after Sonic & Knuckles either.
My Top 10 2D Sonic Games: 10. Sonic Rush Adventure 9. Sonic Advance 8. Sonic Advance 2 7. Sonic Rush 6. Sonic Battle 5. Sonic Advance 3 4. Sonic The Hedgehog (1991) 3. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 2. Sonic Mania 1. Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles
Adventure pretty much redefined how Sonic games would be approached in full 3D. couple that with the music and the other playable characters, it was AMAZING!!
Well yeah, people who love the classics don't usually play the 3d installments. And the people who love the dreamcast/modern games don't usually play the 2d installments.

I get a strong feeling that Ben schrawtz will replace roger Craig Smith as modern sonic in the next sonic games bc I read somewhere that roger is retiring from voice acting
Have you beaten sonic 2 without using a save?
Interviewer: No
Me: Damn straight
Sonic 2 didn't have a save feature tho...
@@thaneros That's the point
Honestly those older games that didnt have a save function are hard. But its nice to know Ben schwartz has indeed played a few sonic games
@@thaneros r/whoosh
thaneros the newer versions do.
interviewer: What's you favorite Sonic besides 1, 2 or 3?
Ben: Sonic 2
LOL
He could have meant cd idk lol
Sonic 2 is a great game!
Would’ve been funny if he said sonic and knuckles
While i was in Canada, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the first Sonic game i played the most, i even drew the cover art of the game
Just show the full interview instead of cutting it up so poorly
Yeah Is so annoying
It's ign and sonic. The two mix poison and juice
Yes ign being the poison
Sonic Adventure 2 still has one one most memorable video game openings ever. City Escape slaps so hard whenever I listen to it.
Those Knuckles stage themes too 🔥
I hated SA2 but City Escape was badass.
One of my all time favorites!
Makes sense, honestly. Most of the general public were older when the Adventure games came out. I totally get why he would prefer Classic Sonic games.
I agree with that because I was a young adult when those games came out and I didn't own a Dreamcast but I do love Sonic Mania now and I want to introduce my godkids to Sonic from that game and the older games
Yeah, while I have at least tried every 3d Sonic game, Mania however was a true love send for us older gamers.
@@maguszxz freaking millenial, zoomers rule
@@dantemustdie00 mania was even a treat for us younger players too, I grew up on adventure and boost games and I still love Sonic 3 and Mania the most
I love the classic games growing up, but I adapted to the adventure series and stopped at forces, and I was disappointed in forces cause it didn't have that adrenaline feeling anymore, it was too slow! Lol!
Ok Ben is actually a fan of OG sonic games. I fw that. He gave most of the same answers I would have
I think most of the staff that worked on the movie were fans of the classic Genesis games. James Marston also played the Genesis games back in the day
That's because all of the 3d Sonics are hot dog piss.
I wish the 3D games got more recognition because everyone keeps referring back to the Classic games. He’s not just a 90s character y’know
I agree
Maybe because the 3d games are considered bad by hardcore fans
Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Lost World, Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations are all solid 3d platformer games.
@@BayScrilla510 eh thats debatable

Sonic Actor said he doesn't have any experience with Amy.
That's Sonic for ya.
Pfft.
1:09 wow he’s really like sonic
Aw man he definitely needs to play SA1 and SA2 but props to him for playing and actually beating the original Sonic games👏
which is better tho.
sa1 or sa2?
@@IKIGAIofficial I think the majority might say SA2 but personally I think they're both great in their own way, it just comes down to preference I guess

Sonic Unleashed has been my all time favorite since 2012
“Rolling around at the speed of sound, got places to go, gotta...”
Me: “FOLLOW MY RAINBOW!!!”
Can’t stick around... gotta keep moving on!
FOLLOW ME!
SET ME FREE!!
Gotta give love to Sonic Heroes.
LOVE SONIC HEROES!.
Same Here. SONIC HEROES
Why? It's a clunky mess that plays the same no matter which trio you pick.
OtterloopB play team Chaotix and come back to me later 😂
The haunted castle acts were my favourite for sure
Ben Schwartz knows who Tyson Hesse is.
My life is complete. 😊
DefinitelyNotaPervert well I'm sure he would have met him at some point, Tyson was brought in to help redesign their Sonic 😅
As Michael just said. Tyson Hesse was the guy they got to help redesign sonic in the movie so of course Ben Schwartz knows him lmao
@@billzee89 Yeah, that makes total sense. Still, I just find it so cool that a Hollywood actor is recognising someone with immense talent, especially since he doesn't get enough recognition and attention for his work.
DefinitelyNotaPervert yeah fair one mate it is pretty cool. I’m proper happy for Tyson Hesse. He deserves it! The man is brilliant
they’re totally friends lol, they’re tweeting at each other alot and did the theatre crawl together
Reg: Welcome to the Salty Spitoon. How tough are you?
Me: How tough am I? I've beaten Sonic 2 many times without save states!
Reg: Yeah, so?
Me: As Knuckles.
Reg: Uh, right this way. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Ah didn’t know Jean-Ralphio was a sonic fan
Yeah, he's a legit gamer. Beats SNES Aladdin speedrun style on Game Grumps.
I think you mean Sonic the Hedgehog is a sonic fan
And Ben's never played any of the 3D games. As expected. He's missing out on Unleashed and Generations.
bagel24 ben is missing out, and colors too
Trust me; he's not missing out on much.
@@Danyrodriguez115 Yes, that game as well
@@inputfunny Nah, he really is.
I hope he plays adventure one day
Having played the game gear, I wonder what Ben’s reaction would have been seeing Fang the Sniper in Sonic Mania.
For me seeing him along with Bean and Bark was a highlight for sure, I hope they become main villains with Eggman in a potential sequel to sonic mania
The first thing even Ben remembers about handheld Sonic 2 8-bit is those damn handgliders.
Props to him for beating the Antlion on GG though.
i love that hes an actual sonic fan.
It’s nice to know that he loves and is playing sonic games.
He needs to play the adventure games since those actually have dialogue lol
My favourite Sonic games (beside 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles):
Sonic CD
Sonic Adventure 1 & 2
Sonic Heroes

Sonic Advance trilogy is slept on heavily👌. Sonic Battle too.
I would like to have gens, the advance series and rush on switch

@@NoNamex1412 Not a fan of the werehog levels.
Love Ben! Just watched him beat Aladdin with no save states on Game Grumps.

"whats your fave sonic game that isnt 1, 2, or 3?"
ben: -talks abt 2-
me: answer the question 🔫
let him like what he like lol
Bens like the only Sonic VA so far that was actually a fan of Sonic before voicing
I love Sonic Generation
I'll give the interviewer credit for bringing up the Adventure games.

Soon as Friday comes, me and my bff who I've known for 4 years are gonna see this in the cinema. And we break up on Thursday-
*Happiness noises*
The mania clipsssss
Highly recommend he plays Sonic Adventure 2 before the next movie
"Here's what this interviewer really wants Ben Schwarz's favourite Sonic games to be."
This was too short. I want an extended interview.
I think Ben Shwartz wants the Monopoly on Characters associated with the colour Blue. first Dewey Duck then Leonardo and now Sonic. who's next? Megaman?
Sonic Dreams Collection is the goat 😤
Sonic
Unleashed
2
2020
I like how he’s more into the classic Sonic games.
Sonic Colours is my all time favourite.
One of the most underrated games is Sonic generations. No one talks about it but it was unbelievable.
Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic Adventure 1&2, and Sonic Heroes will always be my favorites.
I play all Sonic Game's yes Awesome and Amazing i Love it's and
my fav sonic games are sonic cd, sonic mania and sonic adventure
The 14 emerald Get Blue Spheres is the easiest Special Stage of the series.
Damn let the guy pick what he wants lmao
He loves his classic games
This is the real sonic
This guy gets sonic
He only played sonic 2

here's a tip
spindash at the edge

Sonic Adventure 2 will imo always be the top Sonic game that ending with Super Sonic and Shadow is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Ben really giving his life to interviewers
I thing we can all agree that
Sonic 2 is just an amazing game.
we all know unleashed is the best sonic game

Mine is sonic unleashed. It is such an underrated game.
someone please bless me with the name of the song at the end of this video!!!!
Finally someone who knows what he is talking about. No save states just the 3 lives and the try to get further continues
My favorite Sonic games that aren't Sonic 3 and Mania are Generations, Advance and Unleashed.
Unleashed, adventure 1, and adventure 2 for me.
the soundtracks are just amazing.
I love generations I’ve ran through that game so many times lol
The Advance games were all great! I’m a big fan of Colors on the Wii for the 3D games. I actually really enjoyed Lost World with its parkour moves as well. I wish they would work on improving that and incorporate it in more new 3D titles. It wasn’t perfectly executed but it was pretty fun.
@@peacockfilletsteak yeah lost world sounded great on paper but was executed poorly imo.
great ideas though if done better
If I could not save on the last level of Sonic 2 I would have broken the tv, controller, and console.
Greations
Mans tried gate keeping being a somic fan
The GameGrumps should relive Sonic Adventure by having Ben play through the entire thing.
I could beat sonic 2 with my eyes closed, I don't need no save function 🧐
Ok boomer
OOF
Oh so he just rocks with classic sonic then, cool

This man could have only saved this interview if he screamed SONIC R BABBBBBEEEEEEY
I like Sonic 3 & Knuckles/Sonic 3 Complete.
No one other than Jeff Fowler knows anything about modern sonic..

They should challenge the cast to play every single Sonic game and see what are their opinions on it.😂
He probably wouldn't want to play with Sonic Adventure..... or most of his 3D installments.
Probably.
