Sonic The Hedgehog (2007)

Sonic the Hedgehog is a 2007 platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega.

Development began in 2005, led by Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka. Sonic Team sought to create an appealing game in the vein of superhero films like Batman Begins, hoping it would advance the series with a realistic tone and multiple gameplay styles. Problems developed after Naka resigned to form his own company, Prope. The team split to work on the Wii game Sonic and the Secret Rings (2007), resulting in Sonic the Hedgehog being rushed for the holiday season. It was released for PlayStation3, and PC in November 2007 and for Xbox 360, Wii, DS, GBA, and PSP the following month. Downloadable content featuring new single-player modes was released in 2007.
