(One of them has the Xbox360 version) and they all loved it

Sonic Riders was mediocre, Sonic Genesis was a horrible remake of Sonic 1, but that can at least be ignored in favor of the original and other portable versions.

I know that the 3D Sonic games tend to have a polarizing reputation, but in all honesty, I liked most of his 3D outings, with the only two exceptions being the SD version of Unleashed, which wasn't bad by any means, but I preferred the HD version (which I am going to discuss later on), and THIS!

The music however tends to be pretty awesome, but that's the ONLY positive I really have for this game

Honestly, I enjoyed the original Sega Genesis version to this one, HANDS DOWN.Save your money for Rainbow 6, or Battlefield Bad Company

I really do like using homing attack in mid air going from enenmy to spring to heading up a path that leads to a 1up, then light speed dasing into a line of rings

I really enjoyed the storyline and the next-gen graphics in this game, but the super-speed stages were ridiculously hard to navigate, and the plentiful glitches reminded me of the Japanese version of Sonic Adventure

Well, I was horribly shocked to find that this has the great graphics and speed of sonic when it is not loading, and the controls are awful to use here

There are these levels with Sonic were you run in a super speed

The music however tends to be pretty awesome, but that's the ONLY positive I really have for this game

Ok i got this game as a gift and thank god that I didnt spend my money on it

This is a perfect gift for an older gamer who still remembers Sonic, and the most affordable PS3 game around

If you can stand the CONSTANT loading, then maybe you could tolerate the glitchy graphics, and average (AT BEST) storyline and gameplay

The graphics in Sonic '06 are good depending on what part of the game you're in

The graphics, especially the opening scene, are excellent, crisp and fresh, however the gameplay is not

Also, the graphics are downright terrible in certain spots, like Nintendo 64 quality

excelent graphics, but terrible story with a good ending

Sega has been doing okay with their recent games (except shadow the hedgehog) but this game is just a disapointment, running around the city is bland and poorly made, the levels on the other hand look pretty good, the problem is this game is probably buggier than the original Sonic Adventure(though I did love that game)and you move slower (BIG problem in a Sonic game), and Shadow and Silver both are basically just thrown in, Shadow runs really weird and Silvers powers don't really function great, which ends up being annoying

The initial levels are boring and dull and do not suck you into the game at all

(provided you do not cheat), which I like+The add-on hard levels and the End Of the World levels are very very good and difficult, a very enjoyable

This game could have been good with better level designs and controls, but nope, back during the 15th anniversary, we were just not allowed to have good things as Sonic fans.

This Sonic game doesn't know if it wants to be a role-playing game or a 3D action game, but both are unbearable: "missions" to wander around and figure out who to talk to (there's a "puzzle" that has no pattern, for example--you just talk to everybody until one of them coughs up an answer...but he lies to you the first time to make you go around again), and worst of all, levels where you tear along at a high rate of speed, and then plant face-first into death.

Don't listen to people who hate as they are older fans where as the game is geared to new players of Sonic.

This is probably my favorite soundtrack in a Sonic game

ok game, not really interesting b/c of the weird camera angle and extremely long, unnecessary load screens, not worth the buy

I played it on xbox 360 and it wasn't as bad as for playstation.

For Sonic's story, you try to get to the end of the level as fast as you can while collecting rings and jumping on robots' heads

The music however tends to be pretty awesome, but that's the ONLY positive I really have for this game

The game is full of bosses including the great Sonic VS Silver battle

Half the time you don't even control sonic and he will fall off the track.

Jason Griffith does a great job portraying Sonic and Shadow

Sonic looks extra good in the game but they could have worked some more on Shadows graphics

It is not the best sonic game ever (Sonic Unleashed takes that title), but it is nowhere near as bad as Sonic Genesis GBA ( that is one of the worst games of all time) , and while it is unfinished, it is still an amazing game

It's pretty bad, one of the leading causes of sonics downfall.

Sonic is hard to work with in the parts where he runs forward really fast cause sometimes when you tried to turn a little it would do a complete turn and run off the edge

i honestly don't hate this game cause i actually do play it at times like probably 2 times in a month after i beat the game completly

For Sonic's story, you try to get to the end of the level as fast as you can while collecting rings and jumping on robots' heads

I'll go on trying because I know it ispossible to get past that level, I must just work out a way to get past it because there may be several ways to get past it

Don't listen to people who hate as they are older fans where as the game is geared to new players of Sonic

I don't want to be mind numbingly easy, but the way it was done was just bad

So overall, DEFINITELY not a good Sonic game, but it's not the worst people

It's almost like aliens watched people play games from space, and then tried to make a game based on what they think playing a game is like

Many people hate it because of the new romance that is in the game, and I don't like that either, but I still love the overall story of the game.

Why are so many people complaining about minor issues like the camera and loading times?

Other people might like what you don't and they might not like what you do

If you go into this game expecting it to be good, you're going to have a bad time

can die from hitting a wall fast enough well thats a LOAD OF BULL.Only in 3 or 4 levels that CAN happen if you let it now to start this game is NOT FULL OF BUGS OR GLITCHES the loading time are not long

It came in great time, and was in phenomenal condition.

Not a good game, horrible load times, annoying characters, bad glitches, stupid story, but if you are a big sonic fan check it

Ah, well-at least they didn't waste the whole time biting off their previous games

So, I read all the bad reviews, and hesitantly bought the game

but like the reviews said the controlls are a bit frustrating and its never clear what to do next but its a playable game if you can put up with a game that has many defects.

First of all let me start out by saying that long time Sonic fans gave poor reviews for this game only because this game does not represent the typical Sonic crash boom bang which fans like

The music however tends to be pretty awesome, but that's the ONLY positive I really have for this game

This game has its flaws,however,people who write bad reviews about this are just jumping on the hate bandwagon

For Sonic's story, you try to get to the end of the level as fast as you can while collecting rings and jumping on robots' heads

The title music is freakin awesome though:p

Yep, that's it-a poor and choppy attempt at a so-called 'next generation Sonic the Hedgehog'

Sonic, just stick to Amy!2-The storyline is a bad attempt at a good one

I played it on xbox 360 and it wasn't as bad as for playstation.

Not a good game, horrible load times, annoying characters, bad glitches, stupid story, but if you are a big sonic fan check it

ive played loads of games killzone 2, metal gear solid 4, burn zombie burn, PAIN, and the old sonic games for gamecube

ok game, not really interesting b/c of the weird camera angle and extremely long, unnecessary load screens, not worth the buy

Don't listen to people who hate as they are older fans where as the game is geared to new players of Sonic.

LOOOONG load screens like every 5 seconds (brought on by the fact than you will DIE every 5 seconds through no fault of your own).

In previous sonic games the mechanics are get hit - loose rings - grab one of your rings back - move on

The music however tends to be pretty awesome, but that's the ONLY positive I really have for this game

Silver is far from a melee up close fighter, you need to keep your distance or you'll lose all your rings and die.

Like a boss battle with Silver, he can throw you up in the air, make you lose all your rings and then catch you as you fall because Sonic and everyone controls horrible in the air so you have no time to react

Sega has been doing okay with their recent games (except shadow the hedgehog) but this game is just a disapointment, running around the city is bland and poorly made, the levels on the other hand look pretty good, the problem is this game is probably buggier than the original Sonic Adventure(though I did love that game)and you move slower (BIG problem in a Sonic game), and Shadow and Silver both are basically just thrown in, Shadow runs really weird and Silvers powers don't really function great, which ends up being annoying

There are many problems wrong with the Sonic game and i could probably go on.

The only major problem is that the controls dont work IMMEDIATELY

I know a lot of people hate and hate and hate on this game because of the load time, the inconvenient camera, and tons and tons of other aggravating problems

The title music is freakin awesome though:p

The worst thing is that if you lose all lives, you have to start over

The controls could have been more fine tuned, there are times where you can lose lives unecessarily because you fell from a railing that Sonic is sliding

They are extremely far apart, and it is possible to play an hour without a chance to save only to loose all your lives due to a problem mentioned above and have to replay all that lost time

Sonic the Hedgehog starts whith a much more difficult stage that, even though i had played other sonic games quite extensively, killed off all my lives and sent me back several cut scenes and long load times to 0% completed

The music however tends to be pretty awesome, but that's the ONLY positive I really have for this game

So you will probably die a lot while learning from trial and error, DURING THE FIRST STAGE

However even with all the bugs and glitches its still a very good game (to me anyway a lot of people still hate it because of the issues).

Dying a lot and waiting more than you expect after dying is not a good combination

I know a lot of people hate and hate and hate on this game because of the load time, the inconvenient camera, and tons and tons of other aggravating problems

A lot of people can praise a game for graphics, but I'm tired of only hearing about them

Sonic '06 can be a hard game at first, but when you master the controls and camera, it can be very fun

Don't listen to people who hate as they are older fans where as the game is geared to new players of Sonic

Yes, horrible camera angles, long load times, and boring story really make this game unbearable.

Like a boss battle with Silver, he can throw you up in the air, make you lose all your rings and then catch you as you fall because Sonic and everyone controls horrible in the air so you have no time to react

Despite being able to roam around freely and it is not on-rails, the controls were mind-blowingly awful.

bad game play, bad angles, bad story line, bad everything

Who really cares when you can't even see where you're going because of the horrible camera angles

I played it on xbox 360 and it wasn't as bad as for playstation.

Yes, horrible camera angles, long load times, and boring story really make this game unbearable.

The graphics and story of this game are very nice but the controlls are just so very sketchy and the checkpoints are just to far and few bewtween, and that left them playing the same levels over and over until they got to frustrated

but like the reviews said the controlls are a bit frustrating and its never clear what to do next but its a playable game if you can put up with a game that has many defects.

ok game, not really interesting b/c of the weird camera angle and extremely long, unnecessary load screens, not worth the buy

I had taken over playing the game to get them to the next levels and as an old-school long time gamer I even had trouble here and there, especially with the shaky, sketchy controlls to where i got bored myself
