Description Note: THIS IS JUST MY OPINION! (better safe than sorry)

Do I even need to say anything about this game?  The whole world knows that it's one of the worst Sonic games ever.  Even some of my favorite channels Somecallmejohnny and the Great Clement (Both having different views) have even looked at this game at some point.  But between those two channels, I 100% agree with Johnny on this one.  Look, is it fair to call Sonic 06 a shit Sonic game?  YES!  There's too many gameplay styles, the game itself is unpolished (though I ran into little to no glitches and bugs on accident), the load times are inexcusable, and the story needed a shit load of work.  It wasn't so much the fact that Sonic was with a human (even though I make fun of it myself) but the characters (except for Team Dark) were potrayed as morons.  Other characters Like Silver and Mephilies are somewhat interesting.  The former because he has psychic powers and was an okay character.  Same goes for Mephilies (who I find more interesting than Black Doom tbh).  It's just a shame they were both written horribly.  But the story was really the only thing I truly despised about 06 (apart from the loading screens).  Now is it fair to call it one of the worst video games of all time?  NO!  At least this game tried, thanks to it's ok visuals, decent level design for Sonic, and an awesome as hell soundtrack.  

Bottom line; the game is shit, but it doesn't even compare to other games like Superman 64, Bubsy 3D, or even Sonic Genesis on GBA.

(Thank god I blocked you know who lol)

Okay, so I've been playing the game and I'll say this: it's better than the two adventure games from what AceTineRad mentioned about it being an upgrade to the Adventure formula.

Best game in the series though? Not even close.

Best Adventure game? To me? Yes.

I actually do have plans to try this game while skipping the story. As for the loading times, as long as I find something to keep me busy, I shouldn’t have problems.

Same thing with the glitches. If I ignore them, I shouldn’t have issues either.

Yeah. I watched an LP from someone who played it with an open-mind. And I have plans to do the same.

I’ll have to look at GameStop for it on PS3, as I don’t own a 360.

gameman5804 In reply to BronyVideoGamer [2017-11-20 20:23:13 +0000 UTC]

Same price for PS3.

If anything, you’ll probably have the same opinion as me.

Maybe. I’ll have to play the game and then come back here after I’ve played it to give you my full opinion. Although I’ll definitely be a lot less harsh on it unlike a lot of people on it.

Hell, I don't even consider 06 to be the worst of Sonic's dark age.

AceTimeRad [2017-06-28 02:18:44 +0000 UTC]

But then have "you know who (DarkSonic180)" defending the game like crazy and bash the Sonic fanbase for liking Sonic Forces (such as accusing them of liking "laziness") and agreeing with The Great Clement. I don't even know how he got that photo taken with Johnny.

Anyway, getting to Sonic The Hedgehog (2006). If the game was given more development time, the game would have been good gameplay-wise (honestly couldn't believe that they scrapped the day and night cycle). The storyline, especially Sonic's story, would still be horrible.

I always thought Silvers Story was a little worse in a way tbh.  Somewhat better than Sonics until right up near the end.

If I made my top 5 worst 3D Sonic game list, 06 would be a solid number 5.

HyperSonicXdA [2017-06-24 00:05:16 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. Sonic Genesis is more offensive to me. 

And to me, '06 is like The Room of video games. So bad, it's hilarious, but still beatable in its entirety, unlike S64 or Bubsy 3D.

BronyVideoGamer In reply to HyperSonicXdA [2018-01-13 14:39:17 +0000 UTC]

I actually don't think Bubsy 3D is even bad. For PS1 standards, it's mediocre at best.

I mean, at least the controls don't suck like Rugrats in Paris N64, where they didn't give you trigger buttons to turn faster...

HyperSonicXdA In reply to BronyVideoGamer [2018-01-13 14:54:07 +0000 UTC]

The controls are what I hear a lot of complaints about. I hear it's Tomb Raider but even stiffer and less fitting, and with a camera that barely cooperates. Never played it myself, and I can definitely say the graphics are really subpar, but I can only go off what people say about controls. 

Regardless, that wasn't the point I was making.

Well, yeah and I respect that, as a fan of Shadow the Hedgehog and Rise of Lyric.

I'm a fan of RoL, but not so much Shadow, mainly because Shadow's levels took a bit too long to complete.

Also, I got constantly lost in that game.

The Werehog in Unleashed was awesome, though, and RoL gave me all sorts of happiness to see that gameplay return.

HyperSonicXdA In reply to BronyVideoGamer [2018-01-13 15:06:39 +0000 UTC]

I'm really good at remembering the lay-outs, I get consistent A-ranks every time I play that game now. Even in Lost Impact. But I ignore the story, that's just so confused.

I'm a fan of the Werehog too. I might get a PS3 soon, can't wait to play the HD version, I played the Wii version before. And I'm waiting on a Wii U as well for RoL. Because they sure as hell ain't porting THAT to Switch.

BronyVideoGamer In reply to HyperSonicXdA [2018-01-13 15:09:37 +0000 UTC]

I had issues with the HD version of Unleashed because of having to collect medals to unlock new stages. But once I finish Sonic 06, I'll go back to play it and finish it.

It's that in the Werehog levels, you're encouraged to explore, so you find a lot of them regardless, and I don't mind replaying the Day stuff with a guide.

BronyVideoGamer In reply to HyperSonicXdA [2018-01-13 16:11:17 +0000 UTC]

Oh. I didn't know this. I was just going through the level to beat up stuff. I didn't know they were pushing that.

HyperSonicXdA In reply to BronyVideoGamer [2018-01-13 16:12:08 +0000 UTC]

Well it's slower, so in that way it's more encouraging than the Day stages. And I like exploring.

BronyVideoGamer In reply to HyperSonicXdA [2018-01-13 16:12:49 +0000 UTC]

That exaplins everything. I honestly hate exploring for the most part. But there are a few exceptions.

Eh. Like I said: not a fan of exploring. Been exposed to one too many platformers and spin-off games. Not a fan of the Zelda games outside of Hyrule Warriors for this same reason.

Okay. I may as well try Other M while I'm at it, too. Considering I'm not a fan of this series, I won't be playing it for the story, let alone care about the story.

Then it's an okay experience. Definitely not Metroid, but fine enough.

BronyVideoGamer In reply to HyperSonicXdA [2018-01-13 16:19:56 +0000 UTC]

From what I read, it's half platformer and half beat-em-up. Meaning the game is right up my alley.

HyperSonicXdA In reply to BronyVideoGamer [2018-01-13 16:21:56 +0000 UTC]

And it's also linear as hell. But the gameplay is solid, gets a little repetitive, but fun. Bosses are great.
