   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sonic 06, retrospectively, isn't that bad of a game. On the contrary, if you go out of your way to collect the most polished version (the PlatinumFamily Hits rerelease) you'll find yourself a really great time. Probably my personal favorite mainline game in the franchise.
   
   Its level design is the most open in the series, its soundtrack is awesome, and the Amigo character system it uses is the most well-balanced method of utilizing multiple playable characters in a Sonic game thus far, even better than SA2 and SA1's character systems. Gameplay lacks polish of course, as it's undeniably an unfinished game, but for a game that was rushed it's still really admirable. The controls are a little sensitive at first, but as time goes on they become easily adapted to.
   
   As for the story of the game, 06's story holds a ton of merit. While it does contain plot holes involving time travel, that isn't so much of an issue to me because very few time travel plot arcs don't have them in pretty much ALL fictional media, and so long as the characters are written well and treated goodly, the story should be enjoyable. And in 06's case, DAMN are the characters written well. Arguably, 06 was Shadow at his peak with his famous line he delivers to Mephiles, "If the world chooses to turn against me, I'll fight like I always have!". And Silver, the character this game introduced, had a very depressing but driven backstory for what's just a platformer game, especially with Blaze's sacrifice. Sonic's story is the weakest, but even then, Elise in his story slightly develops as a character (going from a basic damsel-in-distress to threatening to jump from Eggman's ship) and Sonic still delivers plenty of inspirational lines.
   Another great thing about the story is just how interconnected all of the cutscenes are, like how Elise envisioning Silver in the intro cinematic is a side effect of him meeting her as a child. So damn cool.
   
   And speaking of cinematic, that perfectly describes this game. Easily, this is the most cinematic and intense Sonic game of all time, ranging from Solaris himself to Silver's confrontations with Sonic and Shadow, *everything*. The game's huge emphasis on trying to tell a gripping science fantasy story, in my honest opinion, succeeds, and with flying colors.
   
   Verdict:
   On the whole, Sonic 06 is, of course, unfinished. And as a result of that, understandably lacks polish in many an area such as gameplay itself or just general technical programming. However, given everything else, ranging from production value to soundtrack to story to level design to characters, it is still my favorite mainline Sonic game to this day. I fully understand why someone wouldn't like it if their primary issue is the glitches, but if that's the case, again, just get the PlatinumFamily Hits 360 version. It's pretty stable pretty much 90% of the time.
   
   06 is easily 9/10 for me.… Expand

Sonic levels are very open and the player can explore it in order to find defferent pathways, just like in sonic adventure, and I was able to enjoy some of his levels, like kingdom valley and radical train. Shadow and Silver's levels have some interesting mechanics but are almost never put to good use. The story is dumb but at least it's more elaborate than the other sonic games. I didn't come across many glitches but this game has bigger problems than that. It just feels empty and the level design lots of times feels like it was forcing to make it longer...it's very hard to explain. If you're curious you should give this game a try, it's not as bad as the internet makes it up to be but I understand why to be enraged that a game had so much lost potential due to the development hell.… Expand

Honestly, that's accurately what it turned out to be worth. It's a novelty that has some sparkling moments of the ambition put into it, but too much of the execution, whether it's game physics not feeling natural, levels going on too long, hub world design being too bland, writing too unenjoyable, or even just the premise not matching the Sonic brand, can be quite laughable... but sometimes, we need something like that, and I may still come back to it now and then to beat my scores, so at least it's that and not outright depressing.… Expand
