For me its Sonic Generations, though Colours comes in a close second. They have recreated classic stages perfectly in Generations and the 2d gameplay is awesome, having said that so is the 3d gameplay, so its just awesome all round. Graphics are beautiful aswell! I thought Colours was a breath of fresh air for the series but then Generations manages to top that, so Sonic Team are finally waking up to what the fans want?

No because they are not part of the main series
they can be included in a seperate poll along with the spin offs (sonic riders, shadow the hedgehog etc)

What's the difference? Sonic is sonic, no?

yes but there is a main series which follows on from Adventure 1 and 2 and it continued with heroes, sonic 06, unleashed etc Also Secret rings and the black knight on the wii are also considered spin offs, part of the "storybook" series of sonic games. you can see for yourself on the wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(series)

Generations is great.
I mean, Colours was a turning point in the series because Sonic Team figured out how to fine tune the gameplay from Unleashed, improve the level design, and actually turn Sonic from some soppy arsehole into the smug cunt he was always meant to be.
But Generations just turns the whole concept up to 11.
It has Classic Sonic, it's a decent price on PC, and it looks like some unworldly colourful nostalgia fever dream too.

Massive Sonic-based sale on Steam.
Stay away from Sonic 4, it's a shit port of a shit game. Get Gens and CD instead.

It's ugly, the physics are broken, the level design is shit and uninspired, the bosses are ripped from older games, the music varies between fucking awful ersatz versions of old tunes and average stuff done with horrible synths, and Sega are charging more for it than the infinitely better Sonic CD rebuild.
Sega had to delay it because it leaked and was dubbed even worse than the version that we have now. It's a glorified iPhone port, and a cheap and shameless cash in on nostalgia.
Just play the demo if you can, but for the love of all that is good, do not pay Sega for that crap.
The game is even so badly programmed and quickly pushed through almost non-existent quality assurance that holding left and right in the PC version produces this:
