I have never played an actual Sonic game ( I don't count Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games ). So, I just wanted to know game is best in your opinion, and reasons why. ^^

Unleashed and Sonic Adventure 2 are my favorites. SA1 is pretty okay too. If you have a GBA, then I'd recommend the Advance series.

In my personal opinion Sonic 3 & Knuckles is a great game from the classic era, as is Sonic R and Sonic CD. For modern era I'd suggest maybe SA2, Sonic Heroes or Sonic Generations. ;)

If we're talking classics, then they're all pretty good. My personal favorite out of the lot is Sonic 2, and then Sonic 3 and Knuckles, since I love playing as Knuckles.

For modern games I suggest Unleashed, and Generations. But I HIGHLY suggest you play a classic first, Sonic 2 for SEGA genesis.

Well to save you time I'd recommend buying Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Gems Collection for Gamecube. They hold the best classic era games on them. :D

As much as I love Unleashed, I honestly wouldn't recommend it to as a first Sonic game. It was a very early test of the gameplay we Sonic fans call "modern gameplay" and you'd be better off playing the later installments (Colors and Generations) instead, as they have greatly improved on the controls and gameplay itself.

Honestly, just play one of the classic games first, but not Sonic 1 as it lacks the spindash later incorporated into every other game (except the Modern ones.).

to be honest the "best sonic game" is all down to personal preference.

My opinion of the best sonic game would be adventure 2, but like I said. all personal preference. My opinion of the best sonic game would be adventure 2, but others here say unleashed is better, or generations perhaps.

it all comes to down as how we like to play sonic.

If you were to only play one Sonic game, I would highly recommend that the game you play is Sonic Colours. It's one of the most fun and well done 3D Sonic games.

Of course, if you prefer 2D gameplay in general, I would recommend you either play Sonic 2 or Sonic Advance. Those are, in my opinion, the best representations of quality 2D gameplay in the franchise. Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Advance 2 and 3 are good examples as well, but I wouldn't recommend them as a starting point. Sonic 1, the veeerryyy original, is special in its own right, and it actually is a decent place to start too. Of course, if you were to only play one game, it wouldn't really be the one I recommended though.

If you're a real fan of plot, my top recommendations would have to be Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic Adventure; in the order of that list completely.

So, yeah. It really depends on your preference. Overall, the top three I would recommend playing would have to be Sonic Colours, Sonic Advance (I honestly find it to be a more 'relaxed' game than Sonic 2, so it's probably better as a starting point), and Sonic Adventure 2. If you play no other games, definitely play one of those three.

I'd recommend sonic colours and sonic adventure 2, those two games are the best games in the franchise (in my opinion)

sonic colours because it's the first game to utilise colours as abilities.

and sonic adventure 2 because it's got a better version of chao garden than sonic adventure 1

Classic Era - Got to be Sonic 3 and Knuckles for me. The definitive Sonic game. :D

Modern Era - Sonic Colours/Sonic Generations. I seriously can't choose between the two, as both are excellent, though Generations is more of a homage to everything. So Colours as the proper favourite of the Modern Era, but Generations is equally as amazing. :)
Many thanks to LunchPolice for creating the avatar picture. :D

Ohh, yeah. xD If you love plots, and are a fan of a more fighting-based game, I would recommend Sonic Battle because it's just that, with some RPG elements thrown in. I loved it.
