    I think this game is okay. Played it on the X360 first, and PS3 afterwards. The controls aren't AWFUL just in mach-speed sections, they are slippery. The story is OKAY . . . and Sonic's personality isn't just all "Hey, Baldy McNoseHair!" So, I rate it a 9 / 10!

    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

Thirdly, character design, levels, enemies done well, it is a pity that this can not be said about NPCs in this game. Well, now to the most important, the game is scolded for the gameplay. Well, for all the time that I spent in the game straight critical bugs I have not met, but there were minor bugs that did not affect the passage. But there is a level ball, I admit it really was most annoying moment.

    This game is considered to be the worst game, but i think it is fun. If you complete the game you can go around and explore all of the glitches around soleanna and this game is one out of a few Sonic Games to have some good multiplayer. overall think it is pretty good minus all of the glitches and poor controls.

    I consider that there is only one way to call this game: an unfinished Sonic adventure 3, yes, the game is broken and has ... A poorly made Sonic Boom Eggman, But that does not take away from "adventure 3", it is very well placed where it goes, the thing is the same as always, it was not finished, in my opinion, it is a great game that could have been much more

    I honestly think it's a little underrated. I mean yeah there's a lot of glitches but I still find it fun.
    and the music... oh my god is it good, the entire track sounds awesome!!
    Tomoya Ohtani did an amazing job as well as Hideaki Kobayashi, Mariko Nanba, Taihei Sato, and Takahito Eguchi.

    recommend it if you like awesome music and really fun glitches!!

I played alot of Sonic games and Adventure 1 is my favorite and what I believe what Sonic formula SHOULD be instead of tired 2D sections we've been getting for the last 16 years since this game's release and I find it really unfortunate because this game and the amount of criticism killed off the formula.

    What I love about the game:

    +Perfect voice actors. Maybe because I love and have great memories of Sonic X this is the Sonic game feels right with the right VA for me.
    +It is very challenging. I used to hate the gameplay for obvious reasons especially the mach speed sections but after beating them I felt very rewarding!
    +Game still looks beautiful, aside from the anthropomorphic characters they look really weird. But the graphics from 2006? Ahead of its time.
    +Huge cast of characters, so much risk taken and they serve great except for Elise everyone despises here and I'm happy for that. I really like Silver though!
    +Level design and replayability

    What I hate about the game:

    -I mean, the obvious
    -The story. And the plot holes is whatever I didn't notice it too much but the story sucks. Soleanna and the game focuses on Elise. I felt like this weird romance with her and Sonic is wrong on so many levels, and one of them being completely and utterly is STRAIGHT UP character assassination for my boy. What I'm talking about? Sonic rescuing a princess and have romantic plot... this is literally what Sonic was supposed to represent, just look at the early Sonic concepts and one of them concept bios that the hedgehog has a human girlfriend but was scrapped, and if you noticed by now, Sonic tries to get away from Amy almost all the time and do you know why? Because Sonic was supposed to be the opposite of Mario.
    -I feel like the idea for anthromorphic characters transforming into the real world with real humans and gritty style feels out of place and inconsistent.    … Expand

Unfortunately, the only thing in this game that keeps it from being a 10 is the fact that Elise, isn't designed like Sonic and his friends. If she were more cartoon-ish, instead of being more realistic, there wouldn't be as big an issue.… Expand

These range from cheap deaths, to slips and falls when you least expect them, and some stages propel you forwards, with very little control, and you are bound to get hit or thrown off course by something. This is not as worse as the shenanigans in the PS3 version, but still annoying and frustrating. Now for the good news! The graphics are gorgeous, no matter what the stage, no matter who you play as or who you encounter; they have been souped up a lot since the Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes days. The music is also a key highlight, as most 3d Sonic games go, but this time, it is more endearing, and worthy of any Sonic-fan music playlist (you can tell a lot of effort has been put into its composition, matching each stage or gameplay strategy perfectly). The storyline is actually quite good, compared the the mess they made of Sonic Adventure and Sonic Heroes. The cut scenes are very well done, and this time round you really wanna pick up Tails and cuddle him! The other awesome thing is you get to play as three different hedgehogs, with varied gameplay elements; Sonic with his speed-infused gameplay, Shadow with his more aggressive and vehicle-based methodology, and newcomer Silver with his telepathic-based approach.. Each guy has his own story line, which encompasses the story of the other two. All in all a good game which would have been an A1 masterpiece if only the glitches were ironed out and eliminated and the player had more control over the...well controls!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing music as usual, fun gameplay, but the game could have been better overall. Voices don't match up with mouths at times; average to awful voice acting; forced to play as other characters in many levels, even though it should be only the character you actually chose to play as; the sonic-elise relationship was cringe-worthy and annoyin; character models were average if not bad, especially Elise's; shadow feels like they are forcing you to use vehicles instead of your normal speed, and while some parts with it work, others shouldn't even be attempted; annoying to fight enemies; some slow parts; when climbing walls with rouge or knuckles it can be hard to jump off; bad controls; average storyline; some stages are recycled with other characters; NPC's simply say "Hey." in the same voice and an extremely long amount of text while moving their hands and mouth randomly, rather than actually making the voices, mouths, and hands be unique and work in sync; knuckles and rouge never get to hunt for emeralds; obvious often stated; loading takes forever; side missions tedious; AI followers often dying many times because they don't realize there is in fact an ability to jump;;;;Other than that it's fine.

    Well, the game is simply unfinished. I think that's its largest flaw by far. It's like playing a beta version. If you can deal with bugs, then I think you'll enjoy it much more. The storyline also has some issues and Shadow's levels are a bit dull.

    Overall though only Sonic Adventure 2 tops this in the Sonic series in my opinion. A wasted opportunity, yes, and much less impressive than it SHOULD have been, but an unpolished diamond is still a diamond     … Expand

Look I like sonic 06 for what it is I looked past the glitches the controls which is not bad controls I mean a bit floaty but its not bad like Sonic adventure honestly the story was the same as sonic generations almost besides the kissing part it was the same with time travel it was all screwed up but any ways is sonic06 really bad as it seems no. and heres why. im not gonna tackle the story that much but its ok its not bad. the gameplay: the game plays well. well besides the crystals but im not gonna tackle that just yet but anyway sonic controls like sonic he moves fast has the homing attack and upgrades, and shields I believe, but theres shadow which has cars and silver who has telekinesis im not gonna do shadow but he controls like sonic but he can do odd attacks that make him stay in the air while he does that attack and the vehicles well kinda suck well the air craft one but they control well but silver my favorite he's a good character he takes sacrifices in the story he's the only on that questions if sonic was the one who caused there world to fall he has a sidekick blaze who I cant rember her gameplay so look for a other review of her gameplay but she risks her life to go to another dimension to make silver try to go on without her to save there world from mephiles and amy stops silver from attacking sonic that lets him look around the old world he and blaze doesn't know he admires it which makes him question if sonic was the iblis trigger. but his gameplay he can fly for a short period of time pick objects to attack which is kinda annoying but yeah the only one that mad me mad was the ball puzzle which I did all the way through in 40mins but theres a glitch to clip through the wall to the goal ring but yeah you have tail who attacks with rings which is annoying cuz when you lose rings youll have to find them in the other rings which don't go away anyways he can fly for a period of time longer the silver. the we have knuckles and rouge they control they same attack the same and fly but go down while flying and they can climb walls and can get stuck but they attack by punching and air attacks anyways that's it for gameplay. The design: the levels are pretty well designed besides a few glitches but its good to say the least they feel original and yeah. so this is my first review ill update it to if you can but its not bad if you can look past the same time travel story as sonic generations almost besides the the girl who cant cry who just keeps in her she cant express emotions because if she does iblis will come out of her and she cause the world silver lives in so yeah they erase iblis and they erase the events that happened. if you decide to buy this all I have to say is the story has time travel and they screw it up a lot but its a good game to try but don't make this your first sonic game please try sonic generations it has 2d sonic and 3d sonic. then buy this I didn't try the multiplayer yet so yeah just try others I know the score is eight.… Expand

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.
