    This game is my favorite of the franchise! I almost never stop playing.

    I love the gameplay, I love the story, I love the characters and I love Mephiles.

    I like that Sonic 06 is getting more appreciation now

    ok, this game maybe has a lot of bugs or weird story, but actually sountrack is carrying the entire game
    And gameplay... is enjoyable, when you ignore glitches.

The plot was cool in my opinion it was weird but not unpleasant to watch either all it matters it's that it was different and I can respect that. To conclude I had fun with the game while yes it was filled with bugs I never found myself mad at the game instead I laughed all the time whenever I would die to some bs and that's what people should do in my humble opinion don't look at it as a critic but lay back and enjoy it for what it is.… Expand

    This is just another game the internet nutjobs with no life hates.
    This game is honestly a 10/10 on its own, exactly what a Sonic game should be, and strive to improve based on. Great story, fantastic characters with great characterization, fun gameplay, amazing level design. And not being forced into living Amy is a great change, since nobody really liked her as a romance partner. Moreso    This is just another game the internet nutjobs with no life hates.

    The game has very few glitches, most of which you REALLY have to try to actively do, or are extremely minor.
    This only gets a 9/10 here because the PS3 is the worst port of the game, with long load times and lag. GET THIS GAME ON XBOX 360, OR XENIA EMULATOR!    … Expand

    Ich liebe das spiel. Es hat ne geile Story, abwechslungsreiches Gameplay mit 3 Charakteren, viel Umfang, schöne musik und schöne Grafik. Ich find es einfach ungerecht dass das game so gehatet wird. Weil es gibt noch andere spiele wo auch viele Bugs haben und die hatet keiner so hart.

    Many people here, as I can see hate this game so much, but honestly, I don't see anything for what you can hate it.
    In my opinion, this game is a very cool game for my lovely ps3, and I'm not sorry about a single penny I spent on this game.
    It has beautiful and very serious story that sonic games are lacking nowadays, very bold and unique Silver's gameplay. I never saw anything like that    Many people here, as I can see hate this game so much, but honestly, I don't see anything for what you can hate it.
    In my opinion, this game is a very cool game for my lovely ps3, and I'm not sorry about a single penny I spent on this game.
    It has beautiful and very serious story that sonic games are lacking nowadays, very bold and unique Silver's gameplay. I never saw anything like that in any other game and I hella liked this psychokinetic gameplay! Also I liked the adventure-styled Sonic's gameplay, especially very fast mach-speed sections, you're really feeling yourself super-fast during them. Level design of this game is very diverse, you'll see both post-apocalyptic city and fantasy castle, underwater scientific lab and fantasy jungles, and all this diversity, surprisingly, fits each other well and don't make any dissonance while completing the game, I'll just clap to the devs for it, because it's very hard to do with such level-design diversity, many games failed in it. I also liked beautiful and rocking music this game has, there were many very talented groups like Crush 40 or Zebrahead. Even months after I completed the game I still listen to His World on repeat everyday! Also I liked very good cutscenes that perfectly showed the mood of scene and what characters of the scene are feeling right now. When Silver needs to shake because of despair, he's shaking, when Shadow needs to look bad-ass, he looks bad-ass! And it also has pretty good graphics for 2006 year, at least on PS3 version that I played. I don't want to spoil anything about the story, because I think that it's one of the main advantages of the game and it's worth to complete the game and know out the story by yourself, but I'll say that it have pretty much of drama, time travels, and it's one of two game stories that genuinely made me cry at the ending. One of the best game stories ever.
    At the end, I'll say that even though this game of course has some flaws, like very frequently loadings, especially during town missions, or some annoying bugs, they didn't ruin my experience of the beautiful gameplay, story, and level-design of the game at all, and I don't understand all the hate this game gets. Recommending anyone to play it, even if you are not a Sonic fan, this game is, in my opinion, an underrated masterpiece.    … Expand

    For me, this game is enjoyable both ironically and not. This is probably one of the most important things in my collection. I have finished this game 3 times. The worst of the bugs that it has is climbing walls as Knuckles and Rouge, the rest is passable.

    As objectively bad as this game is, I can't help but love it. The gameplay may be extremely buggy and at some times infuriating (Silver's Dusty Desert comes to mind), but it's better than the boost to win games of recent years.

    I know this game gets a lot of hate, but I don't really care. I LOVE THIS GAME!

I really love the music in this game, it's my favourite Sonic soundtrack, and it has the best final boss of a Sonic game, which I won't spoil. There are some issues with it, like the load times, glitches, slowdown, all of Silver's Dusty Desert, but they're all outshined by the enjoyment I have with it. It was the first Sonic game I ever played, and it's my favourite Sonic game in the main series. Hate on me all you want. It won't change my opinion.… Expand

    Honestly im glad this game wasn't rushed and had time and care. For example this game added an amazing character in the form of sonic man. Another genius decision was being able to explore the town while fighting silver. Wait that was a glitch, oh. Well the flying boxes were neat. Oh thats a glitch. Um what about being able to beat a stage as knuckles. Another glitch right?, yea thoughtHonestly im glad this game wasn't rushed and had time and care.

    Dont listen to what people say when they tell you that this is a bad game; its probably one of the best Sonic games out there.

    Un gioco che ha deluso molti amanti della serie ma che personalmente a me è piaciuto molto,forse avrei preferito che avessero migliorato il gameplay e che avessero diminuito i troppi bug,tuttavia la storia è qualcosa di spettacolare,mi ha saputo coinvolgere dall'inizio alla fine e tra l'altro la colonna sonora è una tra le migliori che io abbia mai ascoltato in un videogioco.

    Sonic 06 is an underrated game. Screw the reviews and complaints it gets. This game rules. The stages are fun, the graphics are amazing, the soundtrack is awesome. I know Sonic 06 does have it's problems but that does not make it bad. And also the Silver boss fight is great especially if you are Shadow!
