Oct 11, 2022A total mess from a gameplay, presentation and story perspective. Unsalvageable.

Jul 6, 2015As a huge Sonic fan i must say this game is a massive disappointment, not only the problems of camera are awful, the game is unfinished and the story is confusing as hell, the worst game of the blue blur

Mar 24, 2011Not the platforming game of the 90s that I remembered. My wife picked it out of a bargin bin for our kids. While the cutscenes are stunning to see on an 52" HDTV, that's about all that's entertaining about this game that tries to develope an Final Fantasy format. My kids don't care to play it past the first hour/ hour and a half. Good thing it didn't cost us much.

JamesC.Feb 5, 2007This is the worst PS3 game. It should be called "Loading The Hedgehog" because that's all it does. Load, load, load, and load. Save your money and don't even rent it.

RossL.May 19, 2007Mega crap! They are trying to make money off a dead franchise they killed with this crappy 3d games in the years.

May 19, 2011Sonic the Hedgehog isn't just the worst Sonic game to date... it's also the worst game of 2006. Pros: Fantastic FMVs; overall, there's a lot of variety in the gameplay. Cons: Far too many glitches to bugs; unresponsive controls and camera; poor level design; it has one of the most cringe-worthy kisses in gaming history, as well as a ridiculous storyline.

AndyP.Apr 2, 2007I played it for 1 hour then put it on eBay and got 75% of my money back! Will never buy a Sonic game ever again.

AlanD.Jul 14, 2007When you finally get to a level, you spend about %20 of the time controlling the character, and the rest of the time just watching sonic bounce off springs and go through loops. the only way to really attack is just pushing jump over and over again. Sega should have put their dev dollars into a 2D game with improved physics. Just because you can do 3D doesn't meen you always should.

Sorcerer289Jul 24, 2007Damn sega for destroying my favorite game series.

BenD.Jul 7, 2007If you want a Sonic game that's actually GOOD, there are several options: 1) dust off your Sega Genesis and fire up Sonic 1 or 2, 2) dust off your Dreamcast and fire up Sonic Adventure, or 3) get Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii. Sure, all three options involve neglecting your 360 or PS3, but it's better than TORTURING them with this piece of garbage.

Justin95Jul 24, 2009I have never been disappointed in any Sonic game until now. They screw up the entire game with glitches, bad controls and completely rushed. If you want to play a 3D Sonic game, better off to play Sonic Adventure 1, 2, and Unleashed. Stay away from this game as far as possible.

DesmondH.Dec 7, 2007I have played the game all the way through, and it sucks.

ThomasK.May 31, 2007You know, guys, there's more than one meaning of the word "load" that could be used to describe this game. Permit me to explain... 1) Load (transitive verb): to take ages to read data from the disc i.e. Sonic The Hedgehog. 2) Load (colloquial): crapload of errors with a product i.e. Sonic The Hedgehog. 3) Load (adjective): a load of crap i.e. Sonic The Hedgehog.

RemiF.Nov 26, 2007Worst PS3 game I ever played! The game is full of bad controls, massive slowdowns,suicide-inducing cameras and tons of glitches. I can't believe this is Sonic. Wasn't this supposed to be a good series? Avoid at all cost!

Mar 1, 2015WOW, I've been a fan of Sonic ever since I was 3 years old and I have played pretty much all of the games. This one is the worst Sonic has ever been. Sure the graphics look nice but everything else is terrible.
1/10 -
Jan 5, 2015Garbage bin material, rushed piece of trash and bugzone 101 are the subtitles this "reboot/not reboot" deserves. if you are the kind of person that breaks things in frustration DO NOT TOUCH THIS PRODUCT.
-
Jan 20, 2015If anyone sees this game on the shelves at any store, DO NOT BUY THIS. This is one of the worst games of all time. There are several glitches, unfinished stages and graphics and mostly The Story

Dec 14, 2017This game has nothing good, except the music, atleast it gives me a reason to give it 4/10 instead of a 1/10.
This game looked so great, that's the ultimate proof that you must NEVER judge a book based on its cover.
The least annoying story between the 3 stories is probably Sonic's one. -

Jan 18, 2019Si bien la historia es mas o menos profunda y la banda sonora es de una calidad excepcional, esta plagado de fallos de programación por todas partes

Apr 6, 2020Worst game ever. don't even think about loving or playing this crappy game. this game has broken controls, and glitches!

Aug 30, 2022Es un juego sin terminar, una demo mal echa , los personajes se inclinan con el más mínimo escalón, es casi imposible de jugar , está lleno de lleno de Bugs , la historia no tiene sentido y shadow que es combate céntric hace lo mismo que Sonic pero peor

Jun 27, 2015Ha ha. This game is so terrible. It took me a month to finally beat it. It gets really boring when you're in Shadow and Silver's campaigns, Sonic's campaign is sorta fun. And the story sucks... but hey, we still have that scene where Shadow kicks Silver in the back of the head to look back on.
-
Feb 17, 2015This game is broken beyond belief. Playing it is like trying to keep a marble from rolling off of a board as you're trying to hold it. Sonic 06 is an insult.
-
Jan 25, 2016What was this game a true disappointment something that would take forever to play as you would constantly get bored of it and move on to a much better game. This is a warning DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON IT.
-
Jun 5, 2014Absolutely atrocious, ridiculously long loading times, incredibly glitchy, one of the worst games ever made, likely a classic example of what happens when you rush a product to meet a deadline.
-
May 4, 2016First game on this site I have given a zero to, and it deserves it on every level. It was rushed, glitchy as hell, lacks charm in characters that are so bland from what they normally are. The game has terrible game design all over the place, even worse with a lack of an auto save function which this game desperately needs.
It's terrible, legitimately one of the only games I would give a 0 to. -

Jan 31, 2016One of the worst games ever made; terrible controls, terrible frame rate, terrible graphics but worst of all is seeing a humanoid hedgehog kiss a young girl.
-
Dec 30, 2014Sonic the Hedgehog is a butt ugly game with horrible controls, a horrible story, a horrible camera, and some horrible glitches. This game is truly awful in every sense of the word, but it's a lot of fun when you're playing it with your friends.
-
Feb 16, 2015I am a huge sonic fan and this is not sonic. This is like they took a piece of crap and put sonic as the label and ran with it. They should be ashamed. I loved sonic on its old systems. This makes Rambo the video game look like a masterpiece. And Rambo the game damn sucks. Sega you need to give sonic up to someone who can bring him back to himself.
-
Jun 23, 2015This game sucks controls are too sensitive like if you barely nudge the control stick to the left you go shooting off to the left What was Sega thinking? This game is evil pure evil this made dynasty warriors Gundam 3 look good I mean come on Sega you used to be good now this piece of crap. Ughh
Sega you failed -
Jan 21, 2016Im here to tell you all this game sucks.the glitches,and the freaking silver boss battle the only good thing about this game is the music which i agree is better than ROL but the cgi are good,and the cutscenes(not the cgi) is just ps2 era,what i really hate about this game is the beastiality eww.Please Do not buy this game 3/10 nothing else to say except ITS NO USE.

Feb 26, 2017I hate this game with all my might. I can't believe Sega hauled out this trash to us. The glitches are everywhere, the controls are the worst I've ever experienced, the level design is horrible, and it has bestiality! Thank god for the Wii version of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors, and Sonic Generations for making me forget this dreck... until now.
-
Mar 9, 2017The game itself was not bad ERA PÉSIMO! The game itself would have been a fairly passable game clear if they had finished, the game has many bugs, a story a little loose and was responsible for the decline of one of the most beloved mascots of gaming unfortunately.
How bad for sonic you do not deserve it friend 4/10 -

Feb 15, 2020Easily the worst game in the series and it's even worse on ps3. Even as a hardcore fan I was disgusted at the state it was released in. Avoid at all costs.
-
Jul 21, 2020While it is very pretty and some of the gameplay styles are interesting, but that doesn't excuse Sonic 06's very complicated and nonsensical plot, and the overabundance of glitches and bugs that have clearly not been tested.

Sep 18, 2021Este jogo parece que está inacabado, lançaram sem terminar, tá todo bugado, os controles nem se falam, os gráficos são uma porcaria, e o final....

Jun 29, 2021The art music and visuals and like 2 levels of this game are good but the rest of the game is just hot trash like it’s really bad. Most of the levels just have you running around towns talking to NPC’s and figuring out how to PLAY A LEVEL. The game has countless glitches and it’s just a broken mess…
-
Aug 10, 2021Pass away from this game! the story sucks, the gameplay sucks! and the game camera...... the camera.... I won't even comment. only play this game if you want to laugh with the glitchs

Oct 12, 2021dumb stupid game with dumb stupid load screens and a dumb stupid plot.

Apr 1, 2023I'm surprised that I don't HATE this game. I don't like the missions, there's the constant lagging, and the glitches. But once you get into a stage, you start having some fun. The issue though is that the moment it gets going it either stops or loads the second part. Also, the mach-run sections. The story is okay, but inconsistent.

Game InformerIn the end, Sonic nuts will love it. Everyone else should stay away.

Sonic the Hedgehog may share its name with the Genesis original, but this game is even more broken than most of the other recent Sonic games have been.

If you're willing to withstand the constant onslaught of glaring issues regarding the control, you might be able to revel in some of those aforementioned highlights, but it won't last. In the end, you'll find yourself wishing for the good ol' 16-bit days.
