    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

    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.

    Well... is bad, yes, is bad but, not the worst thing ever made, stil playable, the CGI cutscenes is beautifull, the ost is amazing, Silver and Shadow's Story is very good.
    I know this game is bad but i liked, not recomended for everyone, but he deserves a little second chance.

    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 game is unpolished but the game has a lot of good ideas. Serious story with sad thematics like death and love wich i'll love to see again in sonic. Not gonna give a 10 to it because it can be a very stresfull game, and the story sometimes makes absolutly no sense. Anyways, this is the sonic game wich has the BETTER ideas and concepts of his, for now, 31 years.

    The worst sonic games I ever played. The game is full of bugs and the story is terrible. Only one positive thing about this game are soundtrack. They are oustanding! Some characters got better gameplay (Blaze, Omega, Silver) some worse ( Sonic, Shadow, Amy) and som of them neutral (knuckles, rouge, tails). Sonic 06 is mediocre and frustrating game and i dont reccomend it.

    Well, this game isn’t perfect (which is something you say with every Sonic game) and it’s not a good as Sonic Generations or Unleashed, but as much as this game may be broken, I actually enjoyed it. It’s level design may not be the best and the controls are sensitive, but you can get used to it. Sonic 06 is not great, but there is still fun to be had.

    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…

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.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sonic The Hedgehog (06, 2006) is a game that I personaly didn't hate that much like everyone did. Don't get me wrong it is a bad game that it's hard for me to recommend to someone. The game has many glitches, but they didn't bother me that much cause I didn't come across them so often like probably many ppl. did. The story is just lame, the crappy romance with Sonic and Elise (she's probably the worst character in the Sonic franchise) like who the hell cares about Elise and all her problems?? Also Sonic is a **** hedgehog! His eyeball is bigger then Elise's head, and no it's not something like Mario and Peach, because THERE IS NO ROMANCE. A simple invite to a cake and a kiss doesnt make a love story or something like that, same with Amy because she's Sonic's fangirl. The controls are just garbage, they feel so clunky and unpolished as hell. There are 3 diffrent characters and story lines Sonic's controls are least broken and his levels are the best in the entire game. In Sonic 06 nothing just work as it should and that's the worst part of the game. Shadow's story is weird, but the most interesting of them all, and better then in Shadow The Hedgehog for sure. Because he joined G.U.N? Why? What's the point of it? Guess we never will get a answer. Shadow plays like Sonic but is really slow, moving acros the open world cities is a pain and it's even worse with Silver cause he's even slower. And Shadow has ton of wechicles witch non of them are fun too play (i can't remember how the motocycle played like). Silver's gameplay is just bad, there's no god method for the telekines. Personaly i like Silver as a Character, but his voice in 06 is just so bad and annoying. Also the game is rushed. THEY WANTED TO MAKE A REVOLUTION SONIC GAME THEY SAID! AND WORSE THEY EVEN SPLIT THE TEAM! Ok. let's talk about the good side's of the game. The soundtrack is fantastic (personaly my favorite Sonic soundtrack ever), some of the stages are actualy good the problem is the cotrols are garbage so you will die often because of them. Mephiles the main villan is great personaly my favorite in the entire Sonic universe even tho his plan kind of sucked. Ya know what's the worst about the story? No, not the god awful kiss, not the ridicuals time travel, but the story like never happend. Sonic and Elise go to the past where Solaris was just a little flame and then Elise blow out the flame. That's it, all this never happend THE END.

    Summarizing Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 is a really bad game, if you never played a Sonic game and you want to buys 06 don't buy it. Buy Generations insted, but if you played every Sonic game out there and only 06 left for you sure go ahead remember it will not be good. I am not hating on 06, but i don't like it either i would like to see a remake about this game made by Sonic Team.    … Expand

Shadow es lo mejor de todo el juego en todos los aspectos, su jugabilidad está muchísimo más corregida respecto a Shadow The Hedgehog y su historia se disfruta muchísimo. Silver tiene una buena historia ( mucho más corta, una lástima ) y buena jugabilidad, aunque lo lastra no tener un Homing Attack y en algunas partes se echa de menos tenerlo, ya qué hace al juego algo pesado.

    Gráficamente se ve espectacular, la ambientación está muy bien conseguida, niveles muy detallados y coloridos, GRAN variedad de enemigos y se nota qué el Sonic Team se esforzó en este apartado, aunque siento qué Soleanna carece de detalle y el Final Boss es bastante sencillo en cuánto a diseño.

    Los tiempos de carga no son largos, pero son MUY pesados y mal optimizados ( aunque en 360 duran menos ) y lo qué tiene esta versión son las ralentizaciones en algunas partes, aunque prefiero jugar así qué a 10FPS con el Werehog en Unleashed de PS3.

    No entiendo cómo este juego tiene tan malas críticas, ya qué tiene los mismos problemas de jugabilidad qué Sonic Adventure ( en cuánto a cámara y control ) aunque algo qué hace a este título algo más malo es su casi nulo motor de física y los tiempos de carga, pero tiene una historia MUY buena, una jugabilidad algo mediocre, pero aceptable, y una duración bastante larga.    … Expand

    Honestly, this game is one of those things where its more fun once you play it again. Once you get used to the controls and physics, it can be fun to rush through levels. The story isn't very good, but the CGI cutscenes, as always, look amazing. I don't like the Elise and Sonic part, but I actually really like that Dusty Desert level, its actually nice to not be going at breakneck speedsHonestly, this game is one of those things where its more fun once you play it again.

I don't like the Elise and Sonic part, but I actually really like that Dusty Desert level, its actually nice to not be going at breakneck speeds all the time, and just do some combat. The soundtrack is amazing, my favourite in the franchise. The glitches are everywhere, however, and it kind of ruins the pacing a lot of the time. To be honest, i find the glitches kind of funny, but that doesnt change my score. The bossfights all really suck, like the first one where you have to grab the horn. You have to grind on his tail and stuff, but you could never really see where he was, as the camera didn't follow him. They could have made it more like the Sonic Adventure Chaos 0 fight when the camera always follows the boss, and that would really help with the boss. Same thing with silver, my camera isn't on him, and oops, im dead. I found that the silver infinite loop isnt actually infinite, you can just hold down right and you can get out, still unfair though. The hubworlds are fun to mess around in, and although the NPC's models look weird, some of the town missions are actually pretty fun and involve speed and combat. Silver as a whole the puzzles are very slow, and although you can skip them with glitches, that is unintended and doesn't make it better. Shadow is just in the middle. The controls are kind of touchy, but that is mainly because the speed sections and platforming sections control the same. It was the same thing in Sonic Adventure and Adventure 2, but 06's level design doesnt work as well with it. 6/10, i would recommend it to a fan of the adventure games that doesn't have to high hopes, but anyone else steer clear.… Expand

    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.

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.

    In retrospect, the insufferable story and total lack of polish are major downsides, but the core gameplay is conceptually sound, and perfectly playable. Couple that with good graphics and sound, and you have a game that somehow seems to be better in hindsight than on release, now that there is no hype to lead to utter disappointment.

    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 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

The large variety of playable characters and styles is great with the exception of Amy who I feel was a little lacking in abilities compared to others. Graphics are pretty good but shadow shading is a bit too noticeable at times. Frame rate is not consistent on certain stages (mostly Kingdom Valley and Aquatic Base from my experience). I think the relationship between Sonic and Elise could have been more interesting if Amy were thrown into the mix.

Sonic's gameplay is the best one, Shadow's are good, silver okay but can get boring at times especially in the hub world, Tails is also okay, knuckles and Rouge is good and may is okay. Overall it's worth the money.… Expand

    wow this game was stupid! And really what's with the unnecessary interspecies love interest?!?! Is it always like in her 20s and sonic is 15 so I guess that's statutory rape? XD besides the OBVIOUS unnecessary love interest this game is a glitched out mess that was obviously rushed, funny how they start with the very first cut scene being a CD I cut scene which looked amazing and then youwow this game was stupid!

XD besides the OBVIOUS unnecessary love interest this game is a glitched out mess that was obviously rushed, funny how they start with the very first cut scene being a CD I cut scene which looked amazing and then you go to the crappy gameplay Cut scene that shows up how terrible the graphics are. Fatal frame based on a true story for the PS2 came out in 2001 and they had much better graphics than this. The story was not interesting, playing the same story as three different hedgehogs was not interesting, the love interest was UNNECESSARY, "I wasn't "fast and edgy", and overall this game is a complete flop. I can't see how the sonic fanboys can say this game is "perfect" when it's not it is horribly flawed and it's a glitched out mess. Example: you can't walk in a straight line on the edge of a sidewalk without it getting stuck, if you stand still your AI companions will disappear and respond in their death animation, The environments were completely Bland and low textured and so were the people and monsters. you can really tell this game is rush if they use the same monsters for both Iblis and you can really tell this game is rush if they use the same monsters for both Iblis and mephalis but change the colors so you can tell which group of monsters belong to who. if you're going to bite his game you're better off using the CD shiny side up as a coaster so we can get scratched up and destroyed.… Expand

    This game is badly broken with so many bad controls and glitches but it does offer some good ideas. The story was ok but it did get very complicated to the point it was almost nonsense.

    As 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

    Ha 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.

    Underrated as all hell. This game has LOTS of qualities. A good enough story, a very swell presentation level, and of course, the gameplay is great. Worth the price nowadays.

    WOW, 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.

    This 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.

    I 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.

    Sonic The Hedgehog, dubbed "Sonic 06" is a game that was rushed to release to celebrate Sonic's 15th anniversary. Sadly, because of this, its great ambition was missed and has sadly made its way into the gaming hall of shame. But what did I think of this game?

Sadly, because of this, its great ambition was missed and has sadly made its way into the gaming hall of shame. But what did I think of this game?

    Starting off, the gameplay has a poor sense of control. Physics are non-existent here and characters move at a mix of either fairly fast or agonisingly slow paces that can lead to some of the game's greatest problems. All, save for Sonic and Blaze control at a very slow and awkward pace, which is usually accompanied by a poor flight/air mechanic that - if used correctly can increase the player's travel speed. Otherwise this makes the gameplay painful in terms of a Sonic experience control-wise. Since the game defies physics, expect a lot of awkward oddities and glitches that will or will not mess up the game, due to the game's rushed development, the coding also lacks its polish and though some glitches can be seen as funny, many will more than likely annoy the player into rage-quitting. That is if you can find the levels to get into as the hub-world is so gigantic, bland and maze-like that finding your way is about as easy as opening that darn pickle jar and even when you know your way around, it's still bound to take you a fair period of time to get there and all the while being quite boring with the music as your only substance.

    On the plus side of things, the level designs are rather decent and arguably some of them are quite fun and enjoyable... Once you get the hang of it, at least... Many levels follow some cool fun set-pieces and level gimmicks that add some diversity to areas you're playing in. Many times this can be seen as a rollercoaster ride, and can leave a pleasant memorable impact in some cases.

    The music is probably the best part about the game as this game sports an awesome and fairly diverse soundtrack that suits every level well and a few are almost bound to stick with you for some time or put a (sub-conscious) smile on your face. It all in all is great to listen to.

    The visuals are mostly poor and beta-y. save for the CG. Most levels look like they were done in a hurry, fittingly enough though as the game itself was rushed, but that does not excuse shoddy work. Models lacking in a lot of categories, an example being that they barely have mouths, you'll see them only so appear in cutscenes many times, not helped by their lack of facial emotions, and how their characters look so poorly animated and in many ways lifeless. In the CG however, it can look very cinematic and awesome in its own right, the game doesn't hold back in its CG department for presentation.

    The story is one that I could ramble about for a while so I'll make it simple. Don't think about this story. The story is filled with so many problems, plot-holes, and poor logic that it makes it near impossible to make sense out of. The main thing with this story is you can kind of make some sense out of it if you don't think too hard about it. Like Sword Art Online in a sense, if you think deeply about this story, you're only going to make it hard on yourself, and you can't be blamed for it, but at the same time it's good to keep that in mind. But I digress. The story is filled with a lot of serious moments and action that does occasionally make you feel like you're watching a movie of sorts, and does well to get your excited and may satisfy you in one way or another.

    All in all, Sonic 06 is just guilty pleasure worthy, some, namely Sonic fans may like it. However this is not one of the best Sonic games to choose from, anything but, but I would say if you can find it cheap and/or are curious, it may be worth checking out. It's not good, but it can still be enjoyed in some ways.    … Expand

    Garbage 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.

    Sonic 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game really wasn't that bad, especially with the *spoilers* Fight with what is essentially god in the end. A bit half ***ed yes but still pretty epic. I loved Silver and the reappearance of blaze. The glitches were plentiful but aren't they in every game? There hilarious too, i loved the loop-d-loop floor is the ceiling glitch. Could have gone without the girl-on-hedgehog though. I really wish they'd bring back mephiles though. In my opinion he was the best villain in the series. Eggman's got that vague plan for world domination by making everyone explode from laughing at his stupidity and egg shaped *** and his monsters are ok but mephiles literally KILLED sonic. Usual villians rarely even get close but mephilies looks at sonic, and just shoves a crystal through sonic's chest while everyone playing puts on there best "oh ****" face. The game was bad but forgivable because of the deadline, and i hope one day SEGA remakes it into a none rushed version.… Expand

    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!

    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.
