    I'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.

    Es 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

    The 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…

    It sucks that Silver debuted in this game since he's pretty hated and it's been wonky to fit him into Sonic's universe because of it. I at least like some of the soundtracks in the game which're memorable to me. His World, All Hail Shadow, Dreams Of An Absolution, White Acropolis, Flame Core, Aquatic Base... I love 'em so much.

The few CGI cutscenes were real nice, but the others were like watching stoic Power Rangers. The story was something outta the ordinary from what Sonic usually does, but I wouldn't completely knock the idea though it needed some changes. However, it's all over the place with inconsistencies among other things. The gameplay speaks for itself and it's sad that the development went downhill for it.

    Also, that one scene where Sonic is revived by a kiss from Elise (well, specifically the Chaos Emeralds)... that wasn't necessary and it's personally not even because of the whole "human × anthropomorphic" thing. It was just pointless really, especially when Knuckles prolly could've did a chant and accomplished the same thing, not to mention Amy's hilarious would-be reaction to that. What that whole sub-plot should've been was one about inspiring Elise to live up to her title as Princess of Soleanna, if anything.    … Expand

Персонажи слишком резко управляются, чуть троните стик влево или вправо и можете улететь в воду или пропасть. Руж почему то хрен отстыкуется от стен, а Наклз литает на слишком малькие расстояния и врагов бьёт так будто у него кулаки размером 1 миллиметр. Шедоу раздражает своей боёвкой, у Омеги обычные снаряды почему то улетают в землю, Тейлз летает как алкоголик, но как ни странно на скоростных секциях за Соника я не ощущал большого дискомфорта да и он пожалуй самый играбельный персонаж из всех. Что там с Сильвером? Это Наклз скрещённый с Тейлзом. Литает на расстояние 1-го метра, пьяный и 1-номиллиметровые руки. Если бы Sega не поторопилась это могла бы быть лучшая игра в серии, но не судьба.… Expand

    While 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.

    But the damned and **** technical component destroys the desire to play it. Bad controls, a very strange camera, lags and slowdowns in the PlayStation 3 version, an infinite number of bugs in the Xbox 360 version. Add the bad acting of American actors, who clearly did it on get away, some unnecessary and unfinished gameplay elements. And it turns out we have a complete disaster. Although, it was worse, and even now some games in the series are much worse than this ****
    In short, the game gets from me:

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is by far one of the most infuriating and one of worst games in existence. I tried to play this piece of crap and almost broke the controller. The game is riddled with countless bugs and glitches to the point of probably crashing constantly. (It was 2006, there was no excuse at the time for games this terrible). The people who try to defend this are all idiots and I had a billion times more enjoyment out of Shadow the Hedgehog, but somehow/somewhere people say that this is better Shadow (I don't know why) just know that you have the mind of retard. This is without a doubt THE WORST SONIC GAME EVER!!!!… Expand

Sonic 06 is a living testament to what happens when you ignore your game testers and listen too much to focus groups and shines eternally as Sonic's most disastrous appearance. Unless your a sadist or a torturer, never touch with a ten-foot barge pole. The only redeeming factor about this game is its quite fun to rip on with a group and it has a pretty decent soundtrack.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Just a heads up that this review WILL contain spoilers. If you want to avoid them, which I don't know why you would, this review is not for you.]

    I have been a Sonic fan for many years, and very little games have disappointed me. However, this is unfortunately one of those games that carried so much potential, and yet was wasted in execution. Due to SEGA rushing themselves to get this out for Sonic's 15th birthday, the gameplay is simply a broken mess.
    However, the story can be really interesting. Well, Shadow and Silver's stories, anyway. Sonic's story is based around rescuing Princess Elise III of Soleanna. Now, I don't mean to offend Elise, but can we compare how many times she's been kidnapped in this ONE GAME ALONE compared to the amount of times Princess Peach Toadstool was kidnapped?
    Shadow's story shows him now working for G.U.N, but is trapped in a dilemma created by Mephiles (more on him soon) that his friends will eventually abandon him, leaving him to face the world alone. 3 words for Sonic Team - OW THE EDGE.
    Silver's story makes him the most developed - as a fighter from the future, he is tricked by Mephiles to attempt defeating Sonic in order to change his future. I just love how he's so intrigued by the atmosphere of the present. It's adorable. But his gameplay still sucks. I don't have time for your apples, Silver.
    And speaking of Mephiles, let's talk about him. No doubt, he is the real villain of this game, and he is epic! He is the mind of Solaris, separated from the god's body known as Iblis. In order to reunite with Iblis, Mephiles has to release the Flames of Disaster from within Elise by making her cry. This is why he tricks Silver into thinking Sonic is the Iblis Trigger, as if he knows Elise will form an attachment to Sonic and therefore cry when Mephiles... let's just say he accomplishes his goal in a historic execution that is then crushed by the cringiest scene in Sonic history. You guys know the one.

    But in my opinion, this is a game that contained high potential for the Blue Blur, but because of the rushed development, the departure of Yuji Naka, and Sonic Team split in half to work on 2 different games at the same time, we ended up with a broken mess. It's not Sonic's worst game (*cough* Sonic Boom *cough*) but it's still pretty bad. My recommendation for this game would be for you to form your own opinion on this game through experience. You'll either like it, hate it, or just feel mixed about it.    … Expand

    This 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.

Sure, there were great things about it, but that amount of great things is the rarity of a blue moon. Playing this without discovering a bug is nearly impossible and will nearly kill your playtime in pieces. Not only are the glitches the only thing terrible about this. It's the unbearable relationship between human and hedgehog. I'm very glad Elise doesn't appear in any more installments of the franchise but it makes me want to grab a team to make a spin-off game about her only. Silver's introduction was nearly rough and bumpy. Again, you can't deny that the music here is great, but this music can't save a broken game anyways so why bother. Hopefully, the Sonic Team has learned their lessons after this game.… Expand
