Sonic games = not fun? (Score 0, Troll)

Am I the only one who doesn't get the appeal of the Sonic games? Especially the 2D ones? It all starts out well enough, but you get moving so fast there is no way to react to what's coming up next. Sure, I could grind through a level and lose rings until I remember where everything is. Now it's like a memorization chore. Sonic was supposed to be Sega's answer to Mario, so they thought they'd have to show off how the Genesis could scroll things at a million miles per hour -what fun! Wow, it dazzles me! FAIL. FAIL. FAIL.
