Ok ok I admit that the game is ugly but I liked it, and much, even if actually has many flaws including often slow bad audio bad video bad gameplay and a minute to load on a mission equally poor and slow. .. but I liked the game and if it deserves a sufficiency

Good game but suggestion to sega, continue with shadows style in Shadow the Hedgehog, add weapons, cursing and make it cool again.

OK I am a longtime fan of Sonic, and before i went out and got the game i read both positive and negative reviews. after 2 days of playing it now, there are really awesome aspects to the game, but there are far too many downfalls. I heard about the loading times, but my GOD the loading times are SO MUCH WORSE than i could have imagined. I dont know how they could have made it so poorly. Literally every quest starts like this > Talk to npc quest giver >>> load for 30 seconds >> npc tells you one more line of information about the quest >>> load for 30 more seconds >> play the quest if you fail, you have to go through all the loading over again. it is unimaginably annoying. on top of that, at 1080i resolution, there is a massive amount of framerate slowdown in even the most obscure, unpopulated areas. when you have 3 or more bad guys on you, its like youre playing in slow motion. and the camera, wow. it can make it impossible to play at parts. you cant see where you need to go, or where the powerups are at. and if this all wasn't enough, the voice acting is just terrible. every time you talk to an NPC they all make a one word sound like "Huh?" or "Heyy!" in a really cheesy ps1 quality sound. ug but the gameplay is really fun when you get the alternate characters. thats about the only really great aspect of the game. I would not recommend this game to anyone, it is not worth buying in any way. if you must play it, please rent it, and thatll still set you back $10 and not worth even that… Expand

The game it self is very good. the story line for the first time is great. the idea of the futue and the past meet the present is very simialar to Chrono Trigger in the idea only but it is the best sonic game to date based on grapics and gameplay :) Go sonic Go!!!

This game is good. It may have it's flaw but but that doesn't the fact that the story is incredibly detailed.

Attention anyone who is wanting to play this game. Dont listen to critics. never listen to critics, or the idiots who are saying this game sucks. My favorite game monster hunter got like a 5.1 overall, because noone plays it all the way. And just for the record, why is everyone downing all the new sonic games? Sonic Adventure battle 2 is awesome! now don't get me wrong this game has many some flaws, lots of loading, mindless missions on the street that have nothing to do with the story. So those of you who just love making fun of sonic, go ahead, but my fellow sonic fans, this one isn't half bad.… Expand

Do not buy this game. Avoid at all costs. This game has been known to ruin your childhood. The dark overtones are unfitting in a Sonic game, the controls are absolutely horrible, the art design is uninspired and grim, and just about the only thing redeemable about this game is the music, and even then, Sonic games are known for good soundtracks, so this isn't saying much. This game should have never existed.… Expand

I saw this game has lots of hate, but when i played the game myself.. i didn't feel like hating it or calling it bad... because it actually was an awesome fun game to play, and as i am a sonic fan i totally loved it! But yeah everyone has his own opinion of course, but i don't care about the others, I LOVE THIS GAME AND I NEVER GONNA GIVE IT AWAY! its actually one of my best games in my collection =D… Expand

This Sonic Game may have a lot of hate, but let me tell you this....I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Its one of my Favorite Sonic Games. Not trying to be a Sonic Fanboy, but its true. Silver is Cool, Shadow is Great and Sonic is AWESOME!!

I played it for 1 hour then put it on eBay and got 75% of my money back! Will never buy a Sonic game ever again.

This is the worst PS3 game. It should be called "Loading The Hedgehog" because that's all it does. Load, load, load, and load. Save your money and don't even rent it.

This is by far the worst game I have ever played in my life. I know Sonic Team can make something better than this. I mean why don't they just call it "The Loading Game", because that's all it really does. Enter mission--load--, explain mission--load--, say one more line--load-- and your finally in the mission. And the missions are terrible as well. And the beginning? Who found it fun to be chased by a tails screaming at you the whole way. This game gives you no clue on what to do. It's pathetic. Luckily Sega made up for Virtua Fighter.… Expand

When I opened the box. I was very excited. I have played a demo of this game and I was looking forward to it's fast moving levels. But instead I am served with a dull boring game. Right away when you have control of Sonic the Frame rate of the game begins to slow the game down at very random moments. The city looks like something out of the original Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure. Even the first action level uses the "whale is chasing me " scenario from that as well. With the power that the PS3 can provide I was disappointed to see that SONIC TEAM did not take advantage of it. Rent if you must but dont be like me and waste your money on this mundane game.… Expand

Mega crap! They are trying to make money off a dead franchise they killed with this crappy 3d games in the years.

When you finally get to a level, you spend about %20 of the time controlling the character, and the rest of the time just watching sonic bounce off springs and go through loops. the only way to really attack is just pushing jump over and over again. Sega should have put their dev dollars into a 2D game with improved physics. Just because you can do 3D doesn't meen you always should.

Damn sega for destroying my favorite game series.

If you want a Sonic game that's actually GOOD, there are several options: 1) dust off your Sega Genesis and fire up Sonic 1 or 2, 2) dust off your Dreamcast and fire up Sonic Adventure, or 3) get Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii. Sure, all three options involve neglecting your 360 or PS3, but it's better than TORTURING them with this piece of garbage.

What is the worst game you've evr played? ET? Superman 64? Yes there bad, but they were just games. Not big frachises. Sonic the Hedgehog on the 360 and PS3 IS the worst popular franchise game. By this I mean, worse then the worst Mario, the worst Zelda, the worst Street Fighter, the worst EVERYTHING. There are several reasons for this. One is that the story is unecessarily long and boring and contains wait too much humans. It was like an interactive version of Sonic X. The game has too many glitches too count. This may not be a hard game, but you'll come across a glitch here or there that will ruin the experience. Fro example, during the final boss battle I got stuck. Just stuck. I was in the air and...I froze. The game was working and it just froze. Sonic is extremely slow and so are Shadow the Emohog and Silver the Completelyuselessshittyextracharacter...hog. The gameplay just sucks. There is no enjoyment out of it. The controls are awful. Some of the worst i've ever experienced (and i've played SuperMan 64 by the way) Bascially, if anyone ever tells you this game is good then chances are they grew up with Sonic and are in denial that the series sucks and SONIC THE HEDGEHOD IS DEAD!!! Even so, I have a cousin who owns almost every Sonic games (even some of the spinoffs like Sonic Battle on the GBA) and even he says this game is shit. Don't get it. Don't even think about getting it. The only reason you should ever even so much as touch this game, would be if you're a game reviewer looking for a bad game where the jokes practically write themselves (Sonic and Elise beastiality jokes anyone?)… Expand

I have never been disappointed in any Sonic game until now. They screw up the entire game with glitches, bad controls and completely rushed. If you want to play a 3D Sonic game, better off to play Sonic Adventure 1, 2, and Unleashed. Stay away from this game as far as possible.

I have played the game all the way through, and it sucks.

You know, guys, there's more than one meaning of the word "load" that could be used to describe this game. Permit me to explain... 1) Load (transitive verb): to take ages to read data from the disc i.e. Sonic The Hedgehog. 2) Load (colloquial): crapload of errors with a product i.e. Sonic The Hedgehog. 3) Load (adjective): a load of crap i.e. Sonic The Hedgehog.

camera could be replaced with a drunk monkey and do better... just don't

i gopt this game from a friend for a half a bottle of vodka..... i rater have the vodka back... crapy storry... horrible gameplay

Worst PS3 game I ever played! The game is full of bad controls, massive slowdowns,suicide-inducing cameras and tons of glitches. I can't believe this is Sonic. Wasn't this supposed to be a good series? Avoid at all cost!

Oh my good lord! I write this in the hope of saving your time and money. I saw the reviews... I knew the reputation... still, I thought; "It can't be that bad! Probably the same quality as Sonic Adventure but without moving it into the next generation very well." So I bought the game. This is the worst big budget video game I have ever played. There are bad games on the NES that are more fun to play. It's broken and unplayable. I feel like Sega has reached into my wallet, stolen my money and flipped the bird to me whilst running off and laughing about it. Please... I beg you, IMPLORE you. DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!… Expand

It has some good ideas, but unfortunately, Sonic the Hedgehog is just too overly flawed. In stead of giving fans of the 15-year-old Sonic series the best, SEGA gave them the worst. Pros: The best visuals in a Sonic game to date; fantastic cutscenes; some of the Sonic stages are fast and impressive, while Shadow's and Silver's offer some unique adventure elements as well. Cons: Far too many glitches and bugs; terrible and often unresponsive controls; peculiar camera; dreadfully long loading screens; and overall, the graphics are disappointing and lackluster.… Expand

Not the platforming game of the 90s that I remembered. My wife picked it out of a bargin bin for our kids. While the cutscenes are stunning to see on an 52" HDTV, that's about all that's entertaining about this game that tries to develope an Final Fantasy format. My kids don't care to play it past the first hour/ hour and a half. Good thing it didn't cost us much.

Sonic the Hedgehog isn't just the worst Sonic game to date... it's also the worst game of 2006. Pros: Fantastic FMVs; overall, there's a lot of variety in the gameplay. Cons: Far too many glitches to bugs; unresponsive controls and camera; poor level design; it has one of the most cringe-worthy kisses in gaming history, as well as a ridiculous storyline.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. sonic 06...ugghhhh. this game is balls sonic controls like he did in the other 3d sonic games but slower and given a ton of glitches and downgrades compared to previous games. in certain parts of levels he DECIDES to run fast and these levels control even worst than before such as you cannot move in midair. plus the level design is horrid. tails controls like he did in adventure but his flight is more stiff and during flight tails will randomly loose all momentum and fall.knuckles and rouge control like they did in adventure 2 but they are much slower. tails and rouge both use bombs to attack but they are next to worthles. well at least knuckles can still attack =). knuckles and rouge also have a glitch that when they are climbing walls they get stuck and you will be suck for a long time. shadow controls like sonic but slower and has some worthless attacks to replace useful attacks that sonic had. omega or e - 123 is goddamn game breaking. by mashing the hover button you can fly wherever you want and did i mention he runs faster than sonic? silver is pretty interesting. he can telepathicly pick thiungs up and he can hover for a limited time. but in this game however good comes with a price and that price is he is slow. amy is the worst character in the game. she is like adventure where she already was bad but now... she is to bad to explain. the only character worth playnig as is blaze who is fast and is pretty much what sonc should have been. too bad she has few levels. this game has horrendis load times. be sure to have a snack with you while playing this game. this game however has 1 redeming factor which is the soundtrack. go to truesonic1's youtube chanel to see what i mean. if you have never played this you should pity those who have… Expand
