Sonic is a series I love and will continue to. Writing this MANY years after the release of this game seems silly and pointless, but this is a game I feel the need to lampoon for two valid reasons. It had A LOT of potential to be the best thing to the franchise, but it failed to deliver. The other reason is because I like to use failures such as this to learn from for future titles in this series or other games. Consider this a teaching and learning exercise for all of us.
    The story is fairly standard with Sonic showing up to save a princess from Robotnik/Eggman who has found an evil magic McGuffin to help him take over the world in his vaguely evil plan. The McGuffin turns out to be a real monster that rebels against him and turns into a bigger monster that will destroy all of reality. Sonic is killed and brought back to life DBZ style just in time to take it a step farther and go Super Saiyan along with his buddies Shadow and Silver. So it is pretty much Sonic Adventure but with an added human-character love interest that gets kind of creepy as well as a new story line that pretty much gives Sonic (Goku) a Trunks character in the way of Silver the Hedgehog.
    Each storyline plays out like a different bad train wreck. Each has their own bugs unique to them and it shows just how rushed this game's production was to have so many ideas and not enough time to polish them and make them really stand out. There were some genuinely good ideas here, and I feel like some were even built off from for the currently good games (like Colors or Generations).
    Sonic plays as per the norm except now his controls are worse. His spindash and homing attack have weirder physics to them. He has special sections called "Mach Speed Zones" where he runs at full speed through parts of levels where hitting an obstacle can send him flying off the stage or just lose his rings. Knowing exactly what is an obstacle and what isn't can be tough at times. Controlling his direction is a bit of a challenge like a pig rapist is a bit on the creepy side. These are essentially the worst parts of the game, often taking all your lives and requiring a full-level restart to actually beat. Tails joins Sonic's storyline as a playable character, giving us the SECOND worst part of the game. He handles poorly in the air. His attacks are both stupid and unreliable. On the ground he's somewhat slow. And we're never given much time as Tails to really get handle for the bad controls anyway. Knuckles also joins the fray, but his controls aren't as offensive and his sections are MUCH MUCH shorter and less numerous.
    Shadow brings some of that "Shadow the Hedgehog" gameplay to the table with some vehicles and guns. However, this time, the dev team decided to save time and effort by combining the two instead of having guns and vehicles being separate things. A good idea in theory, as it would reduce the loading times and lag that this game already has instead of making it worse. But trying to drive these uncontrollable monstrosities and shoot at something is about as easy as a mountain lion without being maimed. Not to mention Shadow's gameplay much slower and, at times, tedious because you have to destroy all the enemies in an area to progress and you don't even get the fun Chaos powers from his own game to at least make it bearable. There are sections where you play as Rogue the Bat and Omega. They aren't terrible. Just weird.
    Lastly, there is Silver. He is probably the best main character to play as simply because combat for his sections is much easier and less stressful. His gameplay is also slower, but that's because his levels focus more on exploration, genuine platforming and (a few times) puzzle solving. In the hands of a dev team that was actually trying or had been giving time to make this fun, this would have been the highlight of an otherwise servicable Sonic game. As it stands, his levels are merely PLAYABLE with heap amounts of to help keep this consistent with the rest of the game. Puzzles are not explained well and even if they're figured out, still require massive amount of trail and error. Combat MUST BE with his powers and he can't do anything without them. And the platforming is sometimes unreliable and can even be broken by using your powers to get to places in unintended ways.
    Sonic 2006 is an example of a rushed game with many bold ideas that could have been one of the best games of all time. But whoever was in charge of putting this together didn't have the time needed to make it work. The result was a sloppy mess of a game and probably the biggest mark against the Sonic franchise entirely. I'm glad to see SOME elements of this game have evolved and made their way into more recent games. And, anything deserves a remake, it's this game. A good version of this would be nice.    … Expand

    Sonic 06 is an underrated game. Screw the reviews and complaints it gets. This game rules. The stages are fun, the graphics are amazing, the soundtrack is awesome. I know Sonic 06 does have it's problems but that does not make it bad. And also the Silver boss fight is great especially if you are Shadow!

    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.

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's story is a convoluted mess of plot holes and lack of logic, the level design is a death trap of poorly scripted events and bad design choices, the horrible camera system which behaves oddly all the time, the absurdly long loading times which show lack of programming refinement, the multiplayer aspects are completely unbalanced making it broken, the game's controls are destroyed beyond belief, the various kinds of specialized game play styles are incredibly glitchy and even the basic core mechanics of the game don't function correctly. The only factor of this game that is positive is the music which is diverse and is quite a joy to listen to. This game is quite simply almost unplayable as no care at all was put into beta testing to ensure the quality of the product or to ensure everything functioned properly because the company wanted the game on store shelves by a specific date. This game is a slap in the face to all fans of the Sonic The Hedgehog IP as it slowed that the developers where more interested in making money than attempting to release a high quality, properly functioning and enjoyable product. In conclusion, This game is garbage and a waste of money, steer clear of it at all costs. I would give this game a rating of 0 out of 10, but I'll be generous and give it a 1 out of 10 since it had somewhat decent music.… Expand

The story eventually becomes repetitive as the princess is always getting kidnapped and rescued. Then they add in 2 other stories where Shadow the Hedgehog must battle a recolor from Deviantart and Silver must save his world 200 years in the future. Shadow's gameplay is like Sonic except it focuses on a combination of speed and combat. Shadow's gameplay is not really good, as there are as many bugs and glitches as Sonic's.

In all truth, this game is underrated. As a fan of the series, I would give it a 10, but for a fair review I give it an 8. I'll give you my honest feelings about this game: The controls are not broken. They work just fine. There is a fine sense of speed here. Characters function normal for the most part. Sonic and Blaze function better than the others, however. Speaking of characters, there are a lot of them to play as, which adds variety. Loading times are occasionally long, but you won't mind if you are patient like me. Stage missions are a ton of fun, but only half of the town missions are fun. Stage missions vary from character to character. Sonic and Shadow are about the same, except Shadow's missions allow you to use cool vehicles, and Sonic has mach speed in certain levels. Some people think mach speed is difficult, but if you use the light speed dash move to follow ring paths, they are easy. Silver, the other main character, is slower, but he makes up for it by having psychic powers, which allow him to deflect objects at enemies. The maturity of the story is executed better than the game Shadow The Hedgehog. I love the graphics. Rarely has there been more detail in a Sonic game. There is not a single track of music in this game that is bad either. Other editions include gems, which are items that you can buy from stores. They give Sonic some cool powers, including the ability to shrink, extra speed, and flight. Sure, there are a lot of glitches here, but they don't make the game unplayable. In fact, some of the glitches are amusing. The only glitch that I did not like is the one where the characters Rouge and Knuckles are stuck to walls. Other than that, I find nothing really wrong. Its not bad, but it is not really really good. It is perfect for real fans of the series. I have played and beaten both the ps3 and Xbox360 versions of the game and they are exactly the same.… Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

Playing this without discovering a bug is nearly impossible and will nearly kill your playtime in pieces. Not only are the glitches the only thing terrible about this. It's the unbearable relationship between human and hedgehog. I'm very glad Elise doesn't appear in any more installments of the franchise but it makes me want to grab a team to make a spin-off game about her only. Silver's introduction was nearly rough and bumpy. Again, you can't deny that the music here is great, but this music can't save a broken game anyways so why bother.

The hub-world is super-boring and badly designed, you don't get enough information on how to get to the next level and you get stuck in it for hours, also the slow down is extra-bad when you're in it, Sonic games are best when they have either a small and simple hub-world or no hub-world at all, it annoyingly breaks up the proper experience of the game, the levels. The extra characters that you sometimes play as are not good, they have sucky abilities and are nothing on the main characters. The level design is kinda hard to get through and would be better if it was simpler. The pace of the game is extremely slow for a Sonic games, especially when playing as Amy, she runs at like, 1 mile an hour! The puzzles on the Silver levels could be good but are badly done. The vehicles in the Shadow levels are pointless and hardly turn up. A couple of the bosses are the most infuriating and rubbish bosses I've ever come across, for example: Shadow vs. Silver, and Sonic vs. Silver. The last level is horrifyingly awful. But there are good things about the game..... The story line is interesting and well-written. The cut-scenes are cool, especially the CGI ones. The controls work pretty well. The sonic levels are actually pretty good (they'd be a heck of a lot better if the slow down was gone and if it was more fast-paced, well, the same goes for every character's levels...). Some of the bosses are great. The menus work well. The whole feel of the game is good. That's about it. To conclude: this game was a huge disappointment which is sometimes a pain to play, Sega could of made it loads better if they just revised it and fixed a lot of things, all we'd have to do is wait for a year or two. Total score: 4.9/10.… Expand

    It's not the worst Sonic game. For Sonic's story, Radical Train and a couple of other levels were fun, but some of the levels on Sonic's story sucked. For Shadow's story, same as Sonic's. And for Silver, he was the worse. I gave it a 5 because, look at the negative reviews, and because some of the levels were good.

    Ha ha. This game is so terrible. It took me a month to finally beat it. It gets really boring when you're in Shadow and Silver's campaigns, Sonic's campaign is sorta fun. And the story sucks... but hey, we still have that scene where Shadow kicks Silver in the back of the head to look back on.

    Sonic the Hedgehog for the PS3 is a decent game. The story is really lame, yes, but it had nice ideas, such as time travel, something that was planned to be in Sonic 2, and that would actually work if it was like it was supposed to be in Sonic 2, but it wasn't. The gameplay is solid, but there is a lot of problems, such as dying due a programming mistake, on the first level. Most of theSonic the Hedgehog for the PS3 is a decent game.

Most of the time, the game play works for the main characters, but there is a lot of problems with the other characters such as Knuckles, which would cause many glitches while playing as him. The stages are detailed and they have nice designs, but like said earlier, the game have a lot of glitches making those levels unplayable at some points. The soundtrack is amazing, the main theme His World is pretty dang awesome and the final boss themes are actually pretty great. Overall, this could be a good game if Sega didn't rushed it, Sonic the Hedgehog for PS3 is a decent game, with or without glitches with some fun parts. The most fun part of the game is to laugh at the horrible plot with millions of plot holes.… Expand

    First game on this site I have given a zero to, and it deserves it on every level. It was rushed, glitchy as hell, lacks charm in characters that are so bland from what they normally are. The game has terrible game design all over the place, even worse with a lack of an auto save function which this game desperately needs.

    It's terrible, legitimately one of the only games I would give a 0 to.

    Un gioco che ha deluso molti amanti della serie ma che personalmente a me è piaciuto molto,forse avrei preferito che avessero migliorato il gameplay e che avessero diminuito i troppi bug,tuttavia la storia è qualcosa di spettacolare,mi ha saputo coinvolgere dall'inizio alla fine e tra l'altro la colonna sonora è una tra le migliori che io abbia mai ascoltato in un videogioco.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had a lot of fun with this game but it was far from a perfect experience. The large variety of playable characters and styles is great with the exception of Amy who I feel was a little lacking in abilities compared to others. Graphics are pretty good but shadow shading is a bit too noticeable at times. Frame rate is not consistent on certain stages (mostly Kingdom Valley and Aquatic Base from my experience). I think the relationship between Sonic and Elise could have been more interesting if Amy were thrown into the mix. If this game were given more development time I am certain that this would have been a great game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game really wasn't that bad, especially with the *spoilers* Fight with what is essentially god in the end. A bit half ***ed yes but still pretty epic. I loved Silver and the reappearance of blaze. The glitches were plentiful but aren't they in every game? There hilarious too, i loved the loop-d-loop floor is the ceiling glitch. Could have gone without the girl-on-hedgehog though. I really wish they'd bring back mephiles though. In my opinion he was the best villain in the series. Eggman's got that vague plan for world domination by making everyone explode from laughing at his stupidity and egg shaped *** and his monsters are ok but mephiles literally KILLED sonic. Usual villians rarely even get close but mephilies looks at sonic, and just shoves a crystal through sonic's chest while everyone playing puts on there best "oh ****" face. The game was bad but forgivable because of the deadline, and i hope one day SEGA remakes it into a none rushed version.… Expand

    I am a huge sonic fan and this is not sonic. This is like they took a piece of crap and put sonic as the label and ran with it. They should be ashamed. I loved sonic on its old systems. This makes Rambo the video game look like a masterpiece. And Rambo the game damn sucks. Sega you need to give sonic up to someone who can bring him back to himself.

Sadly, because of this, its great ambition was missed and has sadly made its way into the gaming hall of shame. But what did I think of this game?

    Starting off, the gameplay has a poor sense of control. Physics are non-existent here and characters move at a mix of either fairly fast or agonisingly slow paces that can lead to some of the game's greatest problems. All, save for Sonic and Blaze control at a very slow and awkward pace, which is usually accompanied by a poor flight/air mechanic that - if used correctly can increase the player's travel speed. Otherwise this makes the gameplay painful in terms of a Sonic experience control-wise. Since the game defies physics, expect a lot of awkward oddities and glitches that will or will not mess up the game, due to the game's rushed development, the coding also lacks its polish and though some glitches can be seen as funny, many will more than likely annoy the player into rage-quitting. That is if you can find the levels to get into as the hub-world is so gigantic, bland and maze-like that finding your way is about as easy as opening that darn pickle jar and even when you know your way around, it's still bound to take you a fair period of time to get there and all the while being quite boring with the music as your only substance.

    On the plus side of things, the level designs are rather decent and arguably some of them are quite fun and enjoyable... Once you get the hang of it, at least... Many levels follow some cool fun set-pieces and level gimmicks that add some diversity to areas you're playing in. Many times this can be seen as a rollercoaster ride, and can leave a pleasant memorable impact in some cases.

    The music is probably the best part about the game as this game sports an awesome and fairly diverse soundtrack that suits every level well and a few are almost bound to stick with you for some time or put a (sub-conscious) smile on your face. It all in all is great to listen to.

    The visuals are mostly poor and beta-y. save for the CG. Most levels look like they were done in a hurry, fittingly enough though as the game itself was rushed, but that does not excuse shoddy work. Models lacking in a lot of categories, an example being that they barely have mouths, you'll see them only so appear in cutscenes many times, not helped by their lack of facial emotions, and how their characters look so poorly animated and in many ways lifeless. In the CG however, it can look very cinematic and awesome in its own right, the game doesn't hold back in its CG department for presentation.

    The story is one that I could ramble about for a while so I'll make it simple. Don't think about this story. The story is filled with so many problems, plot-holes, and poor logic that it makes it near impossible to make sense out of. The main thing with this story is you can kind of make some sense out of it if you don't think too hard about it. Like Sword Art Online in a sense, if you think deeply about this story, you're only going to make it hard on yourself, and you can't be blamed for it, but at the same time it's good to keep that in mind. But I digress. The story is filled with a lot of serious moments and action that does occasionally make you feel like you're watching a movie of sorts, and does well to get your excited and may satisfy you in one way or another.

    All in all, Sonic 06 is just guilty pleasure worthy, some, namely Sonic fans may like it. However this is not one of the best Sonic games to choose from, anything but, but I would say if you can find it cheap and/or are curious, it may be worth checking out. It's not good, but it can still be enjoyed in some ways.    … Expand

    In retrospect, the insufferable story and total lack of polish are major downsides, but the core gameplay is conceptually sound, and perfectly playable. Couple that with good graphics and sound, and you have a game that somehow seems to be better in hindsight than on release, now that there is no hype to lead to utter disappointment.

But it wasn't just the gameplay, it was also the story - the awkward human and hedgehog relationship especially.
