    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.

    This game is actually a masterpiece but with bugs, it has an amazing story (shadow and silver) unique mechanics for the gameplay (like Mach speed sonic stages, silver stages or vehicle stages) and it is challenging

    The game isnt that bad as people say. It has glitches But if you know how to play you dont see them that much. Relationship beetwen Sonic and princess Elise is kinda cringe But nothing more wrong. The only big minuses are big loading screens

    Best Sonic game ever. Just played the absolute mess that is Sonic Frontiers and had to come back to this masterpiece to see a real game again. Also better than stinky Zelda eww.

    I passionately love this game! Even if it has a lot of bugs, framerate problems and some weird decisions.

    But even with that, this game amuses me a lot. The story even if it has some plot holes. It's very serious and very good. I love character characterization, I love Mephiles, I love Silver, and I love level design. You can not deny that Sonic 06 although it's a glitch mess, you can    I passionately love this game!

    This game has ton of glitch's But past that can be a lot of fun as long as you don't run into or find any glitch's. But hey that's my opinion on it and you have yours but I have it for the reason of proving people wrong that Sonic 06 is a good game every one can play.

    I honestly don't get the hate for this game, I always thought that this entry for the series was at the very least, alright. I never knew that the hate got to "worst game ever" territory. So, I'm here to try and change that mentalilty.

    So, my thoughts are split into 3 categories. Gameplay, Story, and my Overall Thoughts. Now that's out of the way, let's go! Gameplay: I thought that    I honestly don't get the hate for this game, I always thought that this entry for the series was at the very least, alright. I never knew that the hate got to "worst game ever" territory. So, I'm here to try and change that mentalilty.

    So, my thoughts are split into 3 categories. Gameplay, Story, and my Overall Thoughts. Now that's out of the way, let's go!

    Gameplay: I thought that the levels had amazing design for the most part. Wave Ocean's nice mix of staged events, and good placement make it one, if not the best, 3D Sonic stages in terms of design.
    My thoughts on the levels aren't all good though. Let me just say one thing. Silver's Dusty Desert.
    So, in conclusion for that topic, the level design and gameplay get a 9/10.

    Story: I really don't see any plot-holes. I think that the story is movie worthy, and could be the plot of the actual Sonic Movie. I'm not going to give a synopsis here, but I do like, nay, LOVE this story. I give it a nice 8.5/10.

    Overall Thoughts: The game doesn't deserve the hate it gets, although I see where people come from when they say that the game is bad. I totally get that. In my honest opinion, I think it's just a flawed game with big potential, and as of 2017, a small following of it's own. Unlike a certain other infamous Sonic game. So, my overall score is up at the top. I like it alot.    … Expand

    One of the best Sonic games we've ever had, right next to SA2. It has obvious problems you'd be a fool to ignore due to being unfinished; such as a broken gem meter. But what is there is an incredible story matching with extremely fun gameplay, with multiple playable characters and beautiful level design.

    PLAY THIS GAME.

    The music is AWESOME!!! Hands down, the best, of probably ANY video game franchise! 2 of the greatest songs are on there! His World, and Solaris Phase 2, which I happen to be listening too at the song right now! But, the gameplay isn't the best... the music makes up for it.

    My Favorite Part was when I was battling Silver and He said "IT'S NO USE!!" Whoever thought of that as Silver's Catchphrase is a true genius..........

    Sonic 06, one of the most hated games by fans and criticized by critics. In my opinion, this game is pretty great. I can easily praise the visuals and catchy soundtracks in this game. There so many glitches to find, but mostly they occur, when you are a reckless player and try to find something negative to criticize it. Glitches didn't really bother me to be honest, the storyline was okay.Sonic 06, one of the most hated games by fans and criticized by critics. In my opinion, this game is pretty great.

Glitches didn't really bother me to be honest, the storyline was okay. Sonic's and Princess Elise's relationship wasn't that good, Elise was a warm, good and loving to others, but her relationship with Sonic was such a disgrace. The kissing scene was pretty disgusting to watch, I would prefer to her tear drop on Sonic's face and ressurrect him. Level designs and scoring system was pretty well. Also adding adding Silver and Blaze in this game gave good impact to the game, His levels were different, they were slow but using telekinesis and manipulating badniks' powers was kinda fun. In overall this game is really amazing and fun to play.… Expand

    This was the last use of the great sonic adventure formula, that could have been an excellent game but due to its excessive amount of errors, fails to reach the height of being considered a classic. It has all it needed to be an excellent sonic game, but it was not revised. Yet, I think Sega needs to use again this formula, but revising first for technical issues.

    My only criticism is those annoying soleanna sequences where you have to go around gathering information from townspeople you don't really care about. But the mission sequences are fast and a lot of fun. Especially like being able to be characters other than sonic.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay a LOT of people hate this game depends on the experience, My PS3 version on one hand is one of the Worst games I've experienced, however the Xbox version is something I truly enjoy and gave me so many new things to like, Mephiles my favorite villain, Silver my favorite hero. Sonic's and Silver's gameplay I really love along with some of the Amiigos,and I really enjoy the open world level design. I love this game and others shouldn't be bashed for loving it like I do, and people need to STOP making troll accounts just to hate on this game, honestly see how many people have this for their only review and it'll all make sense. Seriously also Metacritic needs to check IP addresses because I swear some people are making multiple accounts just to hate on this game and I'm sick of it… Expand

    If only the developers had focused on delivering a simple, fun experience rather than trying to create something far beyond their reach.

    Not only are the voices horrible, as is the case for most Sonic games, but the story makes very little sense. It’s like if you took any basic Nintendo story like Mario saving the Princess, lengthened it to several hours long, and filled it with mindless details that make no logical sense at all.

    Atrocious camera angles lead to cheap deaths, the slippery controls make it difficult to get a handle on the characters and the game has a large problem with pacing. It tries to mix in side missions with general stages, and the disastrous results ruin the game.
