    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.

In shadow story in kingdom valley your supposed to guide rouge somewhere and the worst part is massive lag, black screen, green screen and a little bit of flickering lights which makes it unplayable because you can’t see where your supposed to go during rouge part of kingdom valley… Expand

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

    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.

    Sonic 06 was a game that destroyed my mental health that Is how bad this game is. This game should not be played for entertainment it should be officially used as a torture device to punish war criminals or even for interrogation but even then that was still be too cruel.

    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.

    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.

    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…

    This game is absolutely broken. Going 30 seconds without seeing a glitch is a sign of divine intervention, graphics are what I would call bad, controls are stiff and either unresponsive or too responsive.

Silver's gameplay had and still has so much potential that he deserves his own game.

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

    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

    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

Тогда вы узреете всю 'прелесть' анимации в этой игре. Графика тут впринципе неплоха, но анимация просто убивает её в пух и прах, а теперь самое сладкое - геймплей. 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
