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)

Yeah. Linearity is one thing I love in video games. So I'll check it out when I get home tomorrow.

Pretty good if you're not a Metroid fan.

Be prepared for gimmicky motion controls though.

I actually love motion controls, so...

(Shout out to the Wii U and 3DS for that.)

Yeah I like 'em too, but this game really didn't need to be Wiimote-only. Biggest problem with the gameplay.

Depends on who's playing the game, honestly.

No, it's really restrictive. 3D movement on a D-pad, is easily the biggest control problem. The perspective switching I don't really mind, but you miss being able to use missiles at any time.

I've played similar games without issue, actually. Specifically Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games' London Tour Mini-Games.

Yeah, for mini-games, no problem, but you're doing it for 10 straight hours.

I normally take breaks in between, so...

Trust me, I thought it'd be fine, since I played a lot of 3D games emulated on a keyboard, and I was surprised how often it messed with me.

Again, it depends on the person who's playing. I'll decide what I think of it when I play it.

Or if one were to like this game, then it's the phantom menace of the Sonic Series.

I don't know if I'll like it or not. I want to replace my blu-ray player with a PS3 just to try this game out. And HD Unleashed too. 

But I like Phantom Menace, if that helps. Attack of the Clones is the real evil here.
