In Sonic, however, I believe that really takes away from the speed of the game. One of the main advantages of 3D action games is the ability to roam around and have complete directional control of your character. With a Sonic game, you obviously need speed, and while the 3D Sonic games were still faster than your other 3D platformers, they still did not have the same sense of speed of the 16-bit predecessors.
