Is it bad that Sonic 06 is my favorite Sonic game?

Post by rougeypougey »

I bet I'm going to get so much hate for this, but it's the truth; Sonic 06 is my favorite Sonic game.

Yeah yeah I know, glitches. Whatever though it was a unfinished game. For an unfinished game though, it turned out pretty good in my opinion.

A lot of people hate Elise and the plot too, which I can understand to a degree. But overall I didn't really mind the plot. I loved how you had three different stories to play through and then everyone comes together in the end to finish the game. We got Silver too, who is an awesome character. I also enjoyed the music in this game, and the graphics for some of the cutscenes.

The thing I like most about this game is the amount of characters you can play as in it, basically all my favorite Sonic games have tons of people you can be in it. My favorite character is Rouge (obviously) and she doesn't get many games where you can play her. So I enjoyed being her in this game, even if her level that she had to herself was as easy as pie.

I also really enjoyed the voice actors in this game... Everyone's... (and I actually think Elise is cute but yeah the whole Sonic/Elise thing is weird) Also I loved Mephiles, he was such a sassy little prick and it was awesome.

Alright send me your hate and complaints about this game lol.

I only like breaking the game to be honest. Otherwise, I still think it's a poorly written rushed title that wasn't a very great step into the next gen consoles, or last gen in this case. The long loading times and whatnot also ruined the game for me, and I was often waiting a minute to read a text box and then load again for another minute.

I mean, I can see the potential in it, and the music was superb as always, but it was just so... so bad I guess that I can't find it in myself to look past its flaws and say "well maybe it wasn't THAT bad".

If you've never experienced the taste of a grape before, even the sourest of grapes can feel good on your tongue.

Sonic '06 is a buggy, unfinished, disappointing mess.

"Why Sonic 06 is bad". a non-essay by chaoadventures

Why it's Bad
- Camera isn't that good.
- The only score bonus is Radical.
- Radical Train was Confusing.
- No Chao Garden.
- This game isn't good enough to be Sonic Adventure 2's fake.
- Dat frame rate tho.
-The Loading Screens

Sonic :
- Sonic's max speed is slower than SA1's.
- The homing attack doesn't retain momentum anymore.
- You can't Spin Dash jump.
- We're not gonna make it, BETTER SPEED UP.
- Why does holding Elise allow us to walk on sand that looks like really bad collision detection when you fall in?
The true power of teamwork?

Tails
- Quick Question, who's faster Tails or a snail going through syrup?
Answer:The snail.
- Dummy Ring Bombs, A.K.A one of the worst things in Sonic Heroes, is Tails' main mode of attack.
- Dummy Ring Snipe, doesn't give you a cross-hair.
- Tails' flight is really bad, clunky and has this hovering function they don't even explain (which is really bad when you find out).
- Did I mention it's slow?

Knuckles
- I didn't really have a problem with Knux, 'cept his punches and climbing were a little jacked up though.

Silver
- Sonic Team tried to use Galvanized Nails to hide the fact they didn't know how to do this.
They Failed.

Why it's Good
- The sheer Glitchy Goodness.
- Sonic actually gives you a lot of control.
- Sonic doesn't hasn't circled enemies like it's Friday.
- That tornado's carrying a car!
- The whole city's on fire!
- It's no use.

I haven't heard Mephiles yet.

At the end of the day, this game is really bad, so bad it's funny.
Which is why me and my brother are playing this game.

Also, Canpaw there's a very good reason everyone was hyped for this game.

Me personally, I love sonic 06. The only thing I didn't like about it was that knuckles wall glitch and the loading screen. I also liked the characters and story.

360/PS3/Wii is when the blue hedgehog died, and everything after that is sega throwing his corpse around yelling "gatta go fayzt"

i went back to 06 last week for fun

it's a pretty bad game but nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be. it has a lot of cool aspects that i'd love to see revisited in another sonic title, like town missions and the custom gems. also silver is actually really fun to play as??? i know, i was shocked too. sonic is actually easily the weakest part of the game due to his irrelevance to the overall plotline + elise stages + mach speed sections.

soundtrack is badass as always tho and the game looks quite nice for an xbox 360 title from ten years ago... and although the plot is contrived and asinine, it has some really neat aspects like mephiles and time travel.

It doesn't matter how good a game is made. If you enjoy a game, that is great. Games are made for enjoyment. A game doesn't have to look beautiful, or be well made, or even have decent controls. It doesn't even have to be very fun. If you enjoy the game, that is all that matters.

I disagree, silvers fun for a single level then he starts feeling obnoxiously repetitive. And i'd agree about sonic being the weakest if the story was something you should care about at all, the game's story is so bad who cares? In my opinion he's the strongest part pf the game, which isnt saying much. Hes faster than the others, and his gems lead to some fun gameplay even if they're broken.

Until I realized how buggy the game was, I actually really enjoyed the game. Then again I was about 12 or 13 and was very oblivious to glitches and actually seeing how bad the story was. My enjoyment came from the fact that my friend had it before me and I really wanted it(I think that game is why we got an xbox 360 o_0) and that it was a sonic game and I loved all the games(I even loved the wii version of Unleashed what was wrong with me!?!)

^The Wii version of Unleashed is probably just as bearable as the 360/PS3 version if you have a GameCube controller. I used it.

I was unable to find Silver fun for more than 30 seconds. Literally.
Nice concept, really bad execution. Which is really the main problem with everything in the game.

Everything should be awesome, like Adventure Fields, 100% 3D stages, multiple playable characters, multiple stories, missions, character vs character fights, and all that jazz.
And some how they butchered all that. And I shouldn't have to buy my upgrades.
Makes the Adventure Fields have less, adventuring and more, "Go where that guy said you should".

Additionally, after finally getting to experience the gameplay of Shadow, Rouge, and Blaze, I realized something about this game.
To stick it directly in the game's face, in the words Brawl Sonic, "You're too Slow!"

Sonic is the fastest character in the game, and therefore the only one close to bearable, because Shadow has to ride vehicles,
and throws some kinda mid-air fit if you press A multiple times in a row.

All the fun really comes from the glitches.
