I played it, and confirmed is a bad game. I do, however, defend it for the characters development (ergo, Shadow) and because I like newcomer Silver, and his design fit really good with Soleanna architecture. Also, it was fun to play as some characters: Rouge (Because the game is so laughably bad playing as her in the broken world is fun), Blaze (which speed and attacks are fun to play) Omega (Because... well, I always like him) Shadow actually showed some developments from his game, stop being an emo character and being the only one where the jokeless cutscenes worked, add the fact that Team Dark is showing his friendly side is a bonus. Also, Mephiles having such a fun to hear voice is amazing.
Does this save Sonic 2006 from being a bad game? Of course not, but it has some good features that are cool, and the bad is so laughably is So Bad, It's Good in my book.
Interesting review :)
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.
man, sorry for the typos D;

Just as dreadful as I expected
When my brother bought a used copy of this game, I was tempted to know what it was actually like to play it. So, I went into this train wreck with an open mind, hoping to be pleasantly surprised. I wasn't. Like many reviewers state, this game is a legendary misfire. A few colourful levels and some passable music tracks can in no way redeem this tremendous failure.
From the camera to the controls to the level mechanics, this game is unbelievably bad. Every level is an unfinished, directionless mess that is so painful to traverse that it's laughable. The poor coding and many technical glitches make controlling your character and performing the most basic of tasks a chore, and the combat is so unexciting that running past enemies is more fun than actually fighting them. Sure, you get to play as different characters, but they all come with their own glitches and control problems. And when you're not playing these disastrous levels, all you have is a blandly animated town to explore populated by brainless townsfolk. Most of these guys give you short missions to complete, and virtually all of them are idiotic. Here, you'll also notice the game's infamous overusage of loading screens, making the experience even more tiresome. And if you run out of lives and haven't saved, you can potentially lose progress, due to the lack of an autosave feature. It's utterly appalling.
Visually, it's all over the place, with some levels that look decent and others that look lame and dated. The music is occasionally fine, but there's also a lot of forgettable and sometimes obnoxious heavy metal tracks throughout it as well. And of course, there's the game's embarrassingly inane storyline. It's so incomprehensible and ridiculous that it could easily have been fan-fiction written by a group of 8-year old kids. The slow-moving cutscenes fail to make the story interesting, and the dialogue is cringeworthy beyond belief. Not only is the script full of clichés and the voice acting totally preposterous, but the characters' lines hardly ever match up with their mouth movements. These are easily some of the worst cutscenes I have ever seen. They're so incompetent that they're actually funny.
"Sonic The Hedgehog 2006" isn't just a terrible video game, it's an insult. This is a catastrophic joke and the fact that some fans actually defend it perplexes me.
