10 Video Games That Wasted Brilliant Concepts

If you're a Sonic fan and have ever been online, first off, hopefully you haven't been too emotionally scarred, and secondly, you've probably seen how many original characters have been created because of the series.

If you haven't, then here's a fun game: Google your first name, and then add "the hedgehog" at the end and see what pops up.

With so many original characters littering the internet for decades now, the idea of adding a character creator in Sonic Forces was a stroke of genius, putting you alongside the likes of Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and the rest of the cast and crew while fighting off Eggman after he finally conquers the world.

The issue is that Sonic Forces, like most modern Sonic games, just wasn't good.
