Thank you. I'm glad somebody else shares my opinion.

Dude I really like Sonic 06, I always did, I don't get why it gets so much hatred, the soundtrack alone is kickass!

Exactly and next to Adventure 1&2 it's one of my favorites.

OMG yes, although I would say I liked SA2 more than SA1 but they're both great games, Sonic '06 is a good game, it has a great story, great soundtrack, and best co op in any Sonic game!

Strong opinion, I like it.
I never did like Sonic Unleashed, thinking of it now, even though I played it years ago.
I never manage to get too far ahead in 06 myself, cause I end up getting suck in Shadow's first stage...(IK, I suck... -w-; )

Yeah Shadow's story was like the "hard mode" as it throws you right in a difficult level from the get go with the car section, it's a shame because it's the best story in the game and it has the best boss fights, I too am not a big fan of Sonic Unleashed, in fact it's my least favorite in the main series, mostly because of the werehog, but yeah I'd still take Sonic Unleashed over Sonic Boom personally, sorry!

I'm...not one for Sonic Boom. .3.
In fact I'm not a fan of the program.

Program?

Television. .w.

Oh yes I agree, I'm not a big fan of Sonic Boom in general too!

Mmm.

I've never played Sonic 06, but I heard it's good, just wish it doesn't have that glitches, but the game itself is the best despite that. ^^

Whoa, wait a minute, you heard Sonic '06 was a good game? OMG that's awesome, all these years I was worried that people who missed out on this game always hear bad things that they turn away from it, I got many comments like "I never played it but I know it sucks" and "I didn't play it but I know I'm not missing anything" as if the game doesn't even exists and it saddens me because it's such a good game, I'm so happy I could cry to hear so much positive comments about this game here and especially in IB :')

Yeah. ^^ I'm with you, buddy.

the only problem I had was the loading screens took so long. that and I would lotus screen just a lotta speech bubble and then go back to loading for a really long ass time

Fair enough, loading screens where kinda annoying in this game, but the story and gameplay (less we forget the soundtrack) made up for that in my opinion!

sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't I did enjoy the game though just not the loading screens lol

The towns missions yeah they can be a turn off sometimes but the action levels were good, I think just like with Unleashed the game becomes most enjoyable after you beat it and go back casually to play selected levels, ignoring the hub worlds which I really don't see any purpose in Sonic games, at least there's no medal hunting... well there is but they weren't necessary and tedious like those from Unleashed.

I have played it three times, and only once I can completed it 100%, never again after reset it, NEVER.

All because of Silver Boss glitch (haul you over water and watch you drain immediately)

I didn't have an issue with Silver, you know there's a very easy way to defeat them, he's way too slow for Sonic so just move your way next to chairs and tables, he will always stop and pick them up, once he says his line that he picked them up he cannot harm you until he throws them away so just attack him and repeat, very easy!

I know... but you forgot one thing... Me no sense of hearing!

Are you sayin'...? I'm sorry I had no idea :c

I am DEAF - can't hear the game at all. So why bother left that glitchy?

I had no idea, I'm very sorry, there are certain games that you can't enjoy or even play without being able to hear, rhythm games like Space Channel 5

Bah, that's unimportant game.

I would say this particular game can only be played with hearing, sight does nothing to it I can play it eye folded but I can't play it without hearing properly, I'm sorry that you can't enjoy it but like you said it's not an important game (lol like there's ever an important game :p)

Sadly, I can't say I've played enough Sonic '06 to form an opinion. I liked Sonic Unleashed way better, however (which I have beaten a few times).

I thought Sonic '06 was a lot better, in fact up until Sonic Boom was released, Sonic Unleashed was my least favorite Sonic title!

tbh Fuck 06 I'm sorry I thought the story was kinda convoluted and the whole time travel thing made things more complicated. I'd rather play Unleashed than that at least if it didnt have the Werehog levels it would be even better but at least his regular controls works (plus the graphics were better). Silver's controls were a pain, Shadow's why does fucking need vehicles again when he runs as fast as Sonic? The long ass Load Screens and the pointless and tedious side missions the bosses were uninteresting a pain though Silver was easy when you get his easy patter down but Mephilis was so fucking lazy as a design. Plus the Humans looked so off compared to the Sonic characters, unlike in Unleashed the Humans looked cartoony so it matched with the sonic characters better. The Levels looked okay but they are glitchy and made me fuck up on some parts where I knew I didn't do anything to mess up on my own. And it had the biggest bullshit ending in a Sonic game. So yeah I gave it a chance and it failed to me. I'm sorry if you liked it but this is how I felt. I was really excited for this game but it just disappointing me so much that I regraded playing it at all. The only good thing about it is that the music is good and that Sonic Boom is worse but thats it....(Plus I thought Generations was the best recent Sonic game to me despite the story being silly)

Look please dont get upset I played this game so I know what I'm talking about this is just my own opinions disagree if you want but this is what I got from it.

Don't worry you're entitled to your opinion, at least you gave it a chance and the game is not for anyone, at least now I hear most people who complain about the game (save for Sonic Retro as I been there last night, we had a big argument about the game) complain about it being glitchy, which is somewhat understandable, but as you can see in the video I posted, and many other videos I saw before, people make it seem that the game is so broken it's unplayable, that isn't the case though, the only Sonic game that is so glitchy it's unplayable is Sonic Genesis, that I agree it's unplayable and you should avoid it at all costs, Sonic 06 had it been patched and fixed most of the glitches, I believe would have had a better reputation, because the story isn't bad like people say, the graphics aren't bad like people claim, the music is good agreed by most, and the controls are fine for the most part!

Glad you understand and about the not save part yeah you can save, but they didn't bother putting in an auto save which was bone headed also yeah they force sonic in same ways to make it look glitchy though perhaps Sega can work on that next game. When I mean glitch it's more like level design take the first state when I went through had going off a loopty loop like it was a ramp took me 5 tries. And control wise Sonic and Shadow was okay I guess, but Silver was just frustrating when I started playing him. His powers makes grab a bunch of things when I just wanted one thing and couldn't damage the enemies cuz of that. If they were to to fix some of the issues, and story a bit this could have been better cuz I really wanted the game to be good. I know you say it's good and that's fine I understand I just wish it was better and I'm saying this as a Sonic fan and want to see it dig out of the hole it gotten itself into lately.

Well I really respect your opinion and you do make some valid points, I'm just glad people are becoming more open minded about it over here than before, at Sonic Retro last night I was pretty much the clown of the group for liking Sonic 06 and Sonic Adventure 2, and because I actually "buy" these games when they don't even deserve to be pirated, man fuck that, it's my money, I can buy what I want with it.

Well hey I liked Sonic Adventure 2 so your not alone. XD

You don't know how refreshing to hear that, I don't get why suddenly many fans started considering SA2 to be the second worst game in the series next to Sonic '06 this sucks!

Well while I do think it's still bad my views on it as been less hated and more like okay your not terrible just wish you were better especially now Sonic Boom replaced it being the worst. Shadow the Hedgehog is second worst to me.

With all the hatred I have for Boom I still think it's not the worst Sonic game, Sonic Genesis is, sorry.

Why are you sorry?

Because many people state that Sonic Genesis shouldn't be posted as the worst Sonic game since it's only a bad port of a good game, but a bad port is bad, it makes it a bad game, the original game is good, some of the later ports were even better, but this port is so bad it IS the worst Sonic game in the series, I feel bad for everyone who paid for it!

Well I never heard or seen that game before, I'm only going with what I seen an played.

Oh trust me, when I say the game is broken to the point it's unplayable I mean it, I think both Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom are playable, and you know they've got bugs and glitches, some people claim Sonic 4 is unplayable, again not true, but Sonic Genesis? Boy, I could ONLY beat it using save states, I'm not joking!

I didn't say Sonic Boom wasn't playable but a lot of other things make it suck.

I agree, up until it came out I always considered Sonic Unleashed to be the worst 3D Sonic game, but damn it Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric just took the cake, I was very impressed how they managed to get everything the fans hated about Sonic into one game and sell it!

I honestly disagree with Unleashed being worse. Even if you think 06 doesn't suck its not as bad as Shadow the Hedgehog which was just plain terrible.

I honestly liked 06 and Shadow, I wasn't a big fan of Heroes but looking back at it it's a mile better than anything that came out since Unleashed, that's just my opinion.

How can you like Shadow it made look stupid with the idiotic gimmicks like guns and vehicles like he needs those Shadows already a badass without them he doesn't need all that. Sorry but I just like Unleashed to a degree and I don't think it's the worst. Hell I liked Colors and Generations even more.

I just speak my opinion is all, true Shadow didn't need those but they were optional and as someone who likes dark stories in Sonic of course I'd prefer Shadow over say Sonic Colors, now Colors was okay, I actually had fun with it, but the bad story ruined the game for me, plus I wasn't exactly the biggest fan of Unleashed daytime stages, I know everyone criticizes Sonic Unleashed for the Werehog and I agree it was the worst part but I didn't like the daytime stages either, too strait forward, no room to explore, and I hate QTEs in video games, they're cheap and not fun.

Colors improved heavily in that regard, even the story was better, but it still suppered from the weird controls and physics from Unleashed that I didn't like where you can't even turn Sonic left and right, feels like playing with a car not a hedgehog, Generations did exactly like Colors, which is a good thing, they even added great physics for Classic Sonic which was even better, however it had two major issues that made me like it less than anybody else, extremely bad story (if I can even call it that) and everything was a rehash, I know it's supposed to be "a celebration of 20 years" but come on the only new content we got is the one EVERY body hated, the Time Eater, even the music sucked, so as you can see the only reason the game did okay was because it was reminding the fans of the fun they had with previous games not because it had good stuff to offer.

I would love a new Sonic game that plays EXACTLY like the classic levels in Sonic Generations but with new content, now that would be interesting.

Sonic Lost World is a huge step in the right direction for me, it brought back exploration mixed with speed which I like, no hub worlds either which is something that's been bugging me in 06 and Unleashed, I don't mind a map screen, now if only they'd bring back Sonic's friends, no need to give them any new levels just give them slightly different skills and throw them in the same levels, make it optional to switch between characters like in Sonic and the Black Knight or Sonic Rush Adventure, that's good enough for me, perhaps ditch the whisps, oh also make a good story, the only thing that was decent in Sonic Boom was the story and in-level dialogue, while it suffered badly from poor programming I'd still like to see it being excited better in a new Sonic game that plays more similar to Sonic Lost World.

Agh I'm sorry but I did not care for lost worlds I thought that was one of the worsts. idk I couldn't get into it just felt idk off to me gameplay wise. Idk I kinda disagree with most of what you say about the daytime stages and Colors. Plus I like QTE's especially when it's done right like Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, and Asura's wrath so I don't think all of them are cheap or unfun. I'm sorry if I'm being really defensive about this...

(I do think Zeena is hot though)

You don't need to apologize your opinion is like most of the fans, I'm the weird one, I think this makes me not a sheep as I defend my believes and tastes!

They aren't opinions from a crowd this is just from my personal experience. Hell I'm the person who liked Skyward Sword.

I don't know that game :/

It's the recent Legend of Zelda game.

Well if it's a Zelda game I'm sure Zelda fans love it, when it comes to Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, or any Nintendo first party game, the fans never seem to be unsatisfied.

Well no most of them hated Skyward Sword. I'm saying I'm one of them who liked it is what I'm trying to go with this. That I have weird tastes too and both of us have different opinions.

I see, I would have never guessed a Zelda fan would dislike a Zelda game, just like Mario and Pokemon fans, they seem to be more open minded and accepting than Sonic fans.

Well as a Pokemon fan I know there are some people who don't like some instalments.

Come on, man, it can't be Pokemon too, during the time I worked in a video game store I noticed Pokemon games sell like chocolate in valentine's day, and they all look the same only different types of Pokemon but kids recognize the differences and buy them all the time, GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL they say!

Dude I'm just saying some people's don't like some instalments you don't know cuz your not a fan and don't know much about it. But that's not the point I was trying to make.

Now I know, also I know my taste and opinion about Sonic may seem weird to many but I noticed with other stuff, movies and games, my opinion and taste for the most part turns to be like the majority, I don't copy anyone or even know about them when I make my judgement, but I just happen to be that way.

Same with my opinions aren't cuz of the crowd it's just a personal view.

I've been ableo play the game a little bit, but I loved what I played. Plus the bugs and glitches amused me to no end, then again I'm just that easily amused at stuff like that. XD

Yeah they were funny but it will upset you when you first play it.

Eh they didn't really upset me, they just more or less made me laugh and go wtf. XD

I know I'm just saying me too afterwords.

Ah I see. ^-^

Well I'm glad to hear, I didn't know you played some of it before, where did you get to play it if I might ask?
If you're a story whore like I am, play Shadow's story it's the best!

That's the funny thing, I have the game for the PS3 just don't have the system xD I played it on a friend's PS3 lol! And I'm not really a story whore I'm just a "Play for Fun" kinda gamer.

Well the game plays very similar to SA2 so if you like that you're gonna like it, I still think Sonic '06 has by far the best co op in any Sonic game, oh btw I have Sonic Unleashed for PS2 but I don't have a PS2, it happens XD

so its worth playing?

If you're asking me, until Lost World it was the last 3D Sonic I enjoyed, it's still better than Lost World in my book, but that's just my opinion.

why is it rumored to be unplayable?

It's hard to explain, at the time when it came out not many people had access to the new consoles so many people were left out, the ones who did get the game at the time were the hardcore fans who couldn't wait (me included) and most of these guys are retro gamers who think that Sonic was only good in 2D, and due to the game being buggy (I won't deny it, it is pretty buggy, but so were Sonic Heroes and Sonic Unleashed, both which were playable), plus the story was dark and serious just like the Adventure games, these guys hated it.

Lucky for them it was the beginning of Youtube so they started making up videos to make jokes about the game, they couldn't do that with Sonic Adventure 2 which the very same people consider it the second worst Sonic game, but they could with Sonic 06, anyway the game ended up with a worse reputation that it deserves, or at least that's what I believe in.

Now before you take my word for it and decide to give it a chance, I'd like to ask you, what do you think of Sonic Adventure 1&2? Because if you didn't like those you won't like Sonic 06, also if you're closed minded to new gimmicks then you might not like playing as Silver because he plays different than Sonic and Shadow, I say Shadow has the best story and boss fights, and Sonic has the best level design and controls, but Silver also has a unique story that I like, also you play as Blaze and Amy in his story.

i only played adventure 1, a bit tough to get used to but the levels were unique and challenging for each character. Tails race, Amy survival, Big fishing...and though the forest is hard to navigate, the storyline was intriguing. i dunno how many bugs were there, i just figured i had some improving to do

This is interesting, Sonic 06 is like a mix of both Adventure games though, anyway it's up to you wither you wanna give it a chance sometime or no but if you ask me I say play Sonic Adventure 2 it's much better!

i intend to

Alright have fun and good luck ^^

though not right now, busy with Ocarina of Time
