Sonic the Hedgehog

With a next-gen debut to make and a world to save, Sonic seems more focused on jumping the shark.

Sonic either needs to be reworked from the ground up, or put to sleep. Every installment has us hoping for a return to glory, but each one further craps on the hedgehog's legacy. The redeeming qualities here are few and far between, and it's just plain not fun. If Sonic were a real person, his friends would've called for an intervention long ago. We're really worried about you, blue buddy. Get help.
