    It is downright amazing just how broken this game is. The music is awesome, Sonic can be fun to play with at times, and it's clear what they wanted to do, but there are too many glitches and poor gameplay choices.

    Bad graphics, boring bugs, annoying Elise and Silver, scary humans and many more. All this makes it worst Sonic's game main saga. But only from the main saga, because the game has good songs, spectacular Shadow story and an excellent villain, but the rest is pure crap. ln fact, if it wasn't rushed and deleted some things, maybe it would be a good game. lm the end, it turns out to be a bad game.

    After 16 years of nothing but hearsay, and finally acquiring a used XBOX 360, I admitted to myself that my curiosity about actually trying to play this particularly infamous Sonic entry had reached a breaking point, and I bought it digitally for $5.

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

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Okay, honest review time. First, the good:

    1) The storyline is actually decent. It's no more convoluted than some of the movies I've seen that people actually think are good. Yes, it's complicated, but that's what I like about it. The closest I've come to a plothole involves Blaze. For some reason, she's in the future and friends with Silver. That in itself would be fine if they didn't also try to imply that she knew Sonic from her previous adventure in Sonic Rush, which makes one wonder whether she's from a different dimension or from the future. I will also say that Elise's crush on Sonic made me very uncomfortable.

    2) The gameplay is nice. Sonic and Shadow are fast, like you'd expect, but Silver's gameplay adds a little variety with his psychokinesis. Tails and Rouge attack in bizarre ways that, honestly, make me glad I didn't have to use them much. Omega and Blaze control fine. Amy, for some reason, can turn invisible, which is kind of cool. There are some scripted areas, especially in Sonic's level's, that will kill you if you don't hit them exactly right, but you can avoid that if you know where those spots are. I even enjoyed Sonic's super-speed sections, even though one of them has a ramp that you have to hit exactly right if you don't want to die.

    3) The soundtrack is amazing, as I've come to expect from Sonic games. It's one of the few things that even those who hate the game like about it.

    4) Between levels, you explore Soleanna in an open-world situation, like Sonic Adventure. It's nice to see the town, and there are little side missions you can complete as well.

    Now the bad:

    1) Glitches. As I said earlier, there are some scripted areas that will kill you if you don't hit them at the right angle. There's also the fact that Knuckles and Rouge can get stuck on the walls when climbing, which forces you to climb around on the wall and mash the button, trying to find that sweet spot that will release you. Overall, though, I even tried to recreate some of the glitches people say they have experienced (usually on the PS3), and I haven't been able to. My best guess is that the 360 version is a little less buggy. However, the glitches will eventually reveal themselves in the right context.

    2) Long loading times. Every single loading screen takes forever, and there are a lot of them. My sister calls this a plus, saying it gives her a break after a particularly intense level, but I'd rather be able to get on with the game.

    I get why people don't like this game, but it could be worse. Given more time to actually finish it, Sega could have made a truly amazing game out of this. Overall, I enjoyed it, and I do still break it out to play every now and again.    … Expand

    Good plataforming.

    It has too many bugs and strange concepts, it was experimented too much and with some things that are far-fetched and uninteresting even well-used concepts but overshadowed by the monstrous amount of bugs.

    Still a good game that I WOULD recommend if you are a fan of the SONIC franchise.

Bugs and glitches have, of course, but outside of that the game is very entertaining. It has a good level design that will make you want to play them over and over again until you beat your previous time record. The story is fine, the serious touch that was given I like it, because it does not go for a fairly simplistic story, although this also works against it, since the Sonic games have never been characterized by having stories that are taken in serious themselves and this can alienate one or another fan of the saga. And of course we can't forget the great soundtrack of the game. In my opinion, the best soundtrack of the entire saga, both 2D and 3D games. They set the levels pretty well, they are addictive to listen to and you feel an air of adrenaline when listening to them, just an incredible soundtrack.
    The game has side quests, which are, I don't know, "meh". They are not a big deal, but neither is it crap, they get to entertain, which is the important thing, in addition to giving you something different from the main missions, but it can be very boring for some.
    And of course we can't leave out the infamous loading screens. That really does not do me a torture compared to other games with even more recent games, because at most they could take 30 or 60 seconds. The big problem is that there are unnecessary loading screens for everything, to load even one or two dialogs, something really meaningless.
    Sonic the Hedgehog is not a lousy game as many claim, but since it was something that came out prematurely and in a hurry, the errors did not wait and the taunts towards them were not either.
    If you can play it, I highly recommend it, only then you will have a true vision of what the game is.    … Expand

    Whilst it does have some issues like how some of the acting isn't that great and some characters don't really have a purpose it's not as bad as everyone's making it out to be. So yeah I like it. But if I had experienced the glitches like lots of people have I'd probably put this game quite lower.    … Expand

The loading times are longer than Karen takes moaning at the manager. Also, WHY THE F**K DOES A HUMAN PRINCESS HAVE ROMANCE WITH A BLUE HEDGEHOG! And, later on, when Sonic (temporarily) dies, she kisses him. KISSING A DEAD ANIMAL. WHAT THE TRUCK! The glitches are worse than Cyberpunk 2077, which doesn't help either. This game is literally released as an alpha build. I feel this may have been a passable game if it hadn't been rushed out for Sonic's 15th birthday. But wow.

    The Xbox 360 version is the best way to play the game. PS3 was a poor port, with lag issues and ridiculous load times. Here, load times are a lot better, and there is very little issue with lag.

    The game really isn't as glitchy as the internet would like you to believe. You see video after video of all these glitches, but actually playing it, you realize these videos are nothing more than exaggerations. 90% of the issues are issues you create yourself and are difficult to do. The other 10% are so minor and easy to fix that you could honestly forget they happened.

    Pro:
    The stories in Shadow & Silver's campaign are enjoyable and enthralling, with nice character arcs and moments between characters.
    Con:
    Sonic's story is boring, repetitive and drawn out.

    Pro: The play control functions much better than Shadow's game and still lets you move around.
    Con: The play control has the complete opposite problem from Shadow: everyone is way too slow, it feels like molasses. And unlike Sonic Adventure 1, 2 & Heroes, your top speed will never be effected by events in the level. Running down a road, a loop, walls all have the same speed.

    Pro: OH MY GOD, THIS SOUNDRACK IS INCREDIBLE, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!! It has such a sophisticated edge to so much of the music, and listening to them give off a vibe you can only get from actually hearing them. The vocal tracks are also amazing.
    Con: The sound effects are pretty stock and don't hold that much weight or catharsis behind them.

    Pro: The developers had clear passion and wanted to make the best Sonic game ever but fell short because of staff cuts, multiple games going on at once, and severe rushing.
    Con: The game has a huge lack of polish. Loading screens are incredibly frequent, there are so many glitches, and there are plenty of minor things you can notice, such as the facial animation being the same across all regions.

    Despite how broken and unfinished this game undeniably is, I still like it. I still find value in Silver, and especially Shadow's campaign. There is still plenty of great in the story (despite the lows,) the design is enjoyable and the music is great. I see real passion. I don't see a game so bad you can laugh at it, I don't see a trainwreck with incompetent people behind it, I see a tragedy. If Sonic Team learned the right lesson, and didn't get rid of everything from 06, we would have a very different series. The concepts of this game are not bad, it was the execution. Having multiple playable characters, a deep story, open gameplay, attempts to take advantage of advancing consoles. These are all great parts of the Sonic series, but since Colors, we're not allowed to have them because 06 had them. Once an idea fails Sonic Team scraps it without refining it and repeats whatever works verbatim, which is why the Sonic series is so bland nowadays, I hope the 30th year anniversary game changes that, but looking back on 06, I see the risks it takes and how people see it and it depresses me.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm sick of saying it but will say it again. Sonic 2006 is NOT a bad game.
    Let me explain why.
    That was the first Sonic game I played if I put the demos aside, and don't even think that's why I don't think it's horrible like so many others.
    There are several aspects that I really liked according to my experience, these being:

    -The soundtrack is simply something that gives me the creeps. It's epic and has some great harmonies, especially the main theme. Elise's theme is beautiful and overwhelming, as much as the character like that has a large group of haters, we have to admit that the theme is brilliantly well done. Honestly, in my opinion, Sonic Unleash and Sonic 2006 are those games that have the best soundtracks in the entire franchise.

    -The episodes of Shadow and Silver have a story of excellence. Everything that goes on during those two chapters made me so caught up on the screen when I played that I can't even describe it with words. When the scene took place where Blaze put herself in Silver's place, sacrificing herself to ensure a safe future, that was something that really took my toll.

    -Mephiles is a creative villain who is one of my favorite characters in the franchise. I liked the idea they came up with for it, I liked how it connected with Elise's past, as well as with Shadow. I liked the Boss Battle against him in the Shadow Episode, it was one that I really enjoyed the most, compared to the others.

    -It's a game with an acceptable duration. Yes, I know the loads last two hours, but do you know what that period of time also lasts? Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces. What I mean by this is that I personally prefer to play a long game than something I can finish in a single afternoon, like Sonic Generations. Taking days to complete a game is what makes it more fun, not something that ends right away.

    -I had fun with the bugs, to be honest. For the most part, Sonic fans would get annoyed with every bug that popped up or when the game just crashed. But I always had big laughs about it. The bugs made the game more unique and fun for me, something different. It sounds like I'm saying absurd things, but it's the truth, I really had fun.

    That was my opinion, of course, it has all those negative aspects, like the desynchronization of the characters' voices in the cutscenes, the delay in loadings, and the way Elise became an annoying and obnoxious princess (How is it possible for a person to be kidnapped right after being rescued?!), but despite all that, I really enjoyed the game :).    … Expand

    It's not as bad as people say it really is, this game is more of a tragedy if anything, and overall the game is a pretty fun time if your playing as sonic or shadow, silver is ok but I found his sections kinda slow if he was a bit faster and had more In depth mechanics he would be a lot better to play as

    This game is tragically underrated. Being hyped so much and then just: it blowed. Gameplay is pretty decent in my opinion and there are a lot of playable characters.

The game looks, fine. CG cutscenes areThis game is tragically underrated. Being hyped so much and then just: it blowed. Gameplay is pretty decent in my opinion and there are a lot of playable characters. Story is really good (yes I said it). Now yes, this game is broken. Silver boss fight, power gem energy not draining in sonic stages, walking on loops and breaking rules of gravity. The game looks, fine. CG cutscenes are amazing especially the first cutscenes in Sonic and Shadow story. However the in game cutscenes don't look that great. Probably because I don't like Sonic's character design. During the gameplay graphics are good enough. Also if you don't like the game that isn't developers fault, but Sega's because they made them release the game in 2006 (This was released in November of 2006). Imagine if we ever get a remake that can improve the graphics, gameplay, story... Imagine the possibilities!
    If you are interested into the game I would highly recommend it or at least play the PC fan made version. It looks better and has all Sonic and Shadow stages at the time of me writing this.    … Expand

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

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.

    The gameplay of Sonic 2006 is very confusing and frustrating. You have to control three different characters: Sonic, Shadow, and Silver. They all have different abilities and stories, but they all run around in the same levels. Sometimes you have to fight enemies, sometimes you have to solve puzzles, and sometimes you have to do both at the same time. The controls are very slippery and unresponsive, and the camera is very wonky and glitchy. Sometimes you fall through the floor, or get stuck in a wall, or die for no reason. It’s not fun at all. It makes me want to scream and kick the TV.

    Story
    The story of Sonic 2006 is very complicated and boring. It’s about Sonic trying to save a princess named Elise from a bad guy named Eggman. But then there’s also a bad guy named Mephiles who wants to destroy the world with a monster named Iblis. And then there’s also a good guy named Silver who thinks Sonic is the bad guy and tries to kill him. And then there’s also a lot of time travel and alternate dimensions and stuff. It’s very hard to follow and it doesn’t make any sense. It makes me want to sleep and snore.

    Graphics
    The graphics of Sonic 2006 are very pretty and shiny. The characters look very realistic and detailed, especially their fur and their eyes. The environments look very colorful and diverse, especially the water and the sky. The cutscenes look very cinematic and dramatic, especially the explosions and the fire. The graphics are the only good thing about this game. They make me want to stare and drool.

    Sound
    The sound of Sonic 2006 is very loud and annoying. The music is very cheesy and repetitive, especially the theme song “His World”. The sound effects are very harsh and unrealistic, especially the gunshots and the crashes. The voice acting is very corny and cringy, especially Sonic’s voice and Elise’s voice. The sound is very bad for my ears. It makes me want to mute and cover.

    Overall
    Overall, Sonic 2006 is a very bad game that I don’t recommend to anyone. It’s not fun, it’s not interesting, it’s not enjoyable. It’s a waste of time and money. It makes me sad and angry. I give it one star out of five.

    ⭐

    Don’t play this game. Play something else instead. Like Shrek Super Slam or Shrek Smash n’ Crash Racing . Those are good games that I like. They have Shrek in them. And me too! And they’re funny and fun! Play those games instead! Trust me, you’ll thank me later!    … Expand

    É quase injogavel, principalmente no começo, tem muitos loadings e muito demorados porém é um jogo que marcou minha infancia, tenho certo carinho por ele e também foi onde nos foi apresentado o Silver, por isso deixou aqui o meu 5

    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.
