Sonic Extreme. I'm still not over this game's cancellation. Goddamnit those screenshots still look pretty good. And more importantly, they gave the impression of a traditional platformer redone in 3D the right way; without tacking on unnecessary and weakly executed adventure elements and annoying superfluous characters. The Sonic Adventure games took all the worst elements from N64 platfomers, as in an emphasis on scavenger hunting rather than action, without any of the positive aspects, like their expansive worlds and distinctive aesthetic.
