I remember picking this up on the cheap and playing through the entire game. To this day I still don't understand why.

This was the worst part of the game by far; it breaks people's brains.Andrex said:
Nah, maybe the Silver puzzle, Radical Train or anything involving Silver might be worse. I'm not sure yet.

Still bummed out that Radical Train wasn't the choice of level for Generations' 06 portion.

I haven't played this game in a very long time, not since it's launch. I'm going to willingly purchase it and probably document not only my progress but have video feed so everyone can see my reactions. I feel like just talking is not going to properly convey how much this game can fuck with your mental stability.

Was that when Medibot came back? That was my favorite part.
They're like, "So we traveled back in time and all this stuff has happened and now we're Shadow, oh and Mephiles is telling us to do this thing and we're at Aquatic Base but it's 20 years ago for some reason."
And Medibot's just like, "Oh OK."

Eggman and Shadow just start babbling nonsense about time space and they can't stop laughing and then Eggman does the glasses thing and they all crack up.

The mach speed section for Radical train never gets old. It's been linked to enough in the thread already, but it's seriously the highest (lowest?) point of the entire LP.SmithnCo said:

So you admit to 06 being an abomination but somehow it's fun? I don't really understand...
Why did you hate Colors exactly? What was wrong with the boost? There's no technical issues with it, I never ran into walls or anything. That's honestly my favortie aspect about modern Sonic games and it probably is here to stay like the homing attack. But Sonic is about speed, that's what differentiates it from other platformers. So what's to really hate about the boost?
One thing I can agree with you on is how Sonic controls (or you described it as the physics). In the Adventure series he controlled perfectly, now it's kind of wonky if you're not going really fast.

Why.
Just... why. Who decided this level would be a good idea?

I think I'm starting to understand. He thought it was going to be a huge mess, so kept his expectations really low. But upon playing it, he doesn't think it's that bad perhaps because his expectations were low. Getting past harder stuff feels like an accomplishment, perhaps. It's curiosity that's really helping in getting through the game, I think. Like, "How bad is it going to be *this* time?" upon seeing a new stage or something I guess.Sinoox said:

I played and beat Sonic 06 when I was at my cousins place, that shit was the most awful experience of my life. I was drawn because I hate it and there was so much to hate. I've been in horrific car accidents, I've been to chop chop square, I've seen the worst of man and I still count Sonic 06 as one of the absolute worst things to ever happen to me.
OP is trolling, shit's obvious.

That's ironic, I was considering doing that if my copy of Generations hadn't turned up on the release day. I'd probably take the challenge up if it didn't involve suffering Silver's desert level again.Phonomezer said:
As a side note, why on earth does Sonic 2006 have a logo on the 360's Play Game option? Old games only have that if developers went back specifically and added it.

Is it wrong that I want to pick this game up after enjoying Generations so much?
I was never a Sonic fan, but loved Adventure. Is that at least as good as Adventure is (by current standards)?

Also OP has to be brain damaged into thinking Sonic 06 is good and Generations is bad. I may hate Generations for not being Sonic 1-3 Genesis-level, but it's way better than Heroes (which I played) and 06.

PROS shared with Sonic Adventure
+Music is fucking awesome. Easily best aspect of the game.
+It has the Egg Carrier
+Adventure Fields have awesome music, makes their barren existence way more bareable. (really the music is 70% of the reason I made it through this game)
+
broken
+Ridiculous story on par with adventure, but it's even funnier because it's 100% serious and not tounge and cheek.
+Sonic Man
+Unforgettable hits like: "ITS NO USE!" "TAKE THIS!" and "THAT TORNADO IS CARRYING A CAR!!"
THE WHOLE CITY'S ON FIRE!
+Sonic's gameplay is almost fun until...
CONS making it worse than Sonic Adventure
-Everything in this game is out to get you. Camera, collisioning, slowdowns. This is essentially the beta version of the game.
-It has load times 10x longer than Adventure 1 and 10x more frequent.
-Mach Speed shit is fucking uncontrollable until you memorize how to maneuver these broken controls.
-Every playable "amigo" character controls worse than any previous appearance. Knuckles can't climb properly, tails has a shitty spastic ring attack (his spin was fine!!), If Sonic hits a wall he stops dead in his tracks and falls on his ass. The list goes on and on.
-Useless filler stages and missions. Soleanna Trials. Hit bells. Alberto Robert. So much bullshit.
-The. FUCKING. BILLIARDS.
-No auto save
-Art style is creepy and realistic. The humans look right out of crowd simulator shit.
Conclusion
It's essentially Sonic Adventure 3, closer to SA1 than 2. But if it was made by Satan. Occasionally there are glimmers of what could have been, but it's sad how quickly it's smothered. Until we get a true finished and bug tested sequel, this is as close as you'll get to another Adventure.

Unleashed feels much more to me like an Adventure game than Sonic 06, despite the gameplay being different.

The sad part is that the uploader actually cut the load times to about a 1/4th of their actual length. For all 12 of them.starchild excalibur said:
So, since I started this thread, I've enjoyed the best Sonic game since the Genesis days, a new Zelda, and final exams.
Now that I'm finished all of those things... I've popped this fucker back in the 360. It's time to start Shadow's story!
In case you're new, I'll sum up my feelings on the game so far: From Sonic's story alone, I prefer this game to Colors and Unleashed. I hate boost gameplay, and the mach speed segments are so ridiculous that I find them fun.
Will I feel the same after Shadow and Silver's story? Lets find out!
Snow Stage:
-Shadow doesn't feel too bad after one stage. His homing attack is kinda weird. He's like... spazzing out when you spam a. And why is his running animation so ass? That was the best thing about him in Sonic Adventure 2!
-OH SHIT TITS. Don't tell me I have to find chaos emeralds...
-Apparently not. Was that supposed to be a stealth section? Breezed through it in 5 seconds. Now I'm Shadow again.
- "It's a request from the president." -Shadow the Hedgehog
-Now I just destroyed all the search lights with homing attack. Nothing is happening. Yami Yugi keeps telling me I have to use missiles, so I'm guessing I have to use these comically bad looking vehicles to shoot missiles? Well, not only can I not get into these things, but they don't even seem to be solid objects. I'm walking through one right now. After a few minutes of trying everything, it turns out you need to jump onto the car (not as easy as it sounds, remember what game physics I'm playing with here), and press Y. Blew some shit up, and I'm done the first Shadow stage.
Not too bad, so far.
-Ah, recycled boss battles. Considering I just played Skyward Sword, this doesn't bother me as much as it probably should.

Oh my... D:
Soleanna sucks. It sucks. I know I say that Unleashed's towns make me dizzy sometimes but they're really pretty and the lighting is fantastic. But Soleanna is so damn bland.
Playable? Sure, but I think the consensus is even then the game would still be mediocre and subpar.
