What did you guys think of Sonic The Hedgehog 2006

[Silver Tha Hedgehog]

Little known fact Silver wansn't originaly planned to be in this game, he was originaly planned to be in a completley different spinoff game but in devolopement of 06 they decided to scrap the idea of his own game for time being and put him in 06.(This isn't 100% confirmed but it is a rumor going around and sega did say silver had bigger plans at first) But on to the question, What did you guys think of sonic the hedgehog 06? I personaly liked it but it could have been waay better it had so much potential but I digress I still enjoyed most of it (Other than that damn ball puzzle in silvers desert level) :?:
Sorry Got the little known fact wrong the first time I posted. This time It's right :-P

Dude, if it was "rushed" then I doubt they'd have time to slap in sonic and shadow as well.
It was Sonic's 15th anniversary game. Where'd you get this stuff from?

Sorry did I say slapped in I meant in it's very early phase. Speech screw up. It was origialy planned before his 15th anneversiery then they decided just to put him in sonic 06.

How do you know this stuff? Did they say so?

Yes sega did say that silver was planned for his own game but then moved. They didn't quite say he was gonna be the only playable caracter I could see sonic still being there but for the most part from sega.

Just read the edit. Sorry I'm a cluts.

[Metalsonic9]

I only like the music.

[hypersonic2560]

Anyway, This game is playable. Not as bad as people say but not as good as some others say. There are lots of glitches and bad collision detection and the camera moves like :):):):).
But I enjoy replaying some of Sonic's and Blaze's levels and I always thought that silver's gameplay concept was cool.
That and it had one of the best soundtracks imo.

[Silver Tha Hedgehog]

I enjoyed the team attack amigo DLC for most levels (Heck for as cheap as it as its great) and dreams of an absolution was amazing.

[HayleyChaotix]

I liked it.


(Other than that damn ball puzzle in silvers desert level)

It is official, once I finally get my Roxio working, I am recording myself doing that ball puzzle with the amazing ease I have always been able to do it with.

[Silver Tha Hedgehog]

I liked it.

I had to use the floating box glitch. I might go back and try that puzzle some time.

I finished it on my second try. The ball does most of the work on its own.

It is one of silvers first levels it would probaly be easier now with more expirence as him.

[chronicles]

I really loved it. I don't care if everyone on the planet disagrees, yeah it's got horrible glitches of doom, but it's also pretty fun. And the romance with Elise? No, I wouldn't even call that messed up. I don't like them together or anything, but Sonic needs to save another girl besides Amy (Sega knows they can't keep your interest doing the same thing over and over again). I didn't like Silver... he doesn't make too much sense to me and his voice is weird.

The story was vibrant and the graphics were intense. The gameplay, save some glitches, was very fun.

[Azzy]

Little known fact ---- but it is a rumor going around

????

You also missed out about him being called Venice, a Mink instead of a Hedgehog, and supposedly completely unrelated to the Sonic series.

That said, '06 is just meh.

[TheGoldenFlame]

Love it, though it course had tons of wasted potential that weighed in like 500 cows on a fork lift.

[Psychic Hedgehog]

Hated it. There were gamebreaking bugs everywhere, greasy graphics, low presentation value, a non existent physics engine that ruined the flow of the game and scripting which didn't even work. Loved the music though, and Silver could have been a cool character if they didn't ruin his gameplay.

[Sky Hedgehogian Maestro]

Dang. Are you saying Silver, a character so many fanboys are dying to see have his own game- but let's face it, never will get one- would've gotten his start in the Sonic franchise in his own solo game? That's just messed up. And if they didn't make it a Sonic Adventure clone with unnecessary added gameplay (like Shadow the Hedgehog) it could've been great!

It's just hearsay and most likely fiction. But since peeps cannot post a source: http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/735/735501p1.html


Before the Sonic The Hedgehog team was formed, our development team was considering creating a new game (other than a Sonic game) set in a very realistic world

It also doesn't say who this designer their speaking with is supposed to be. And iirc, IGN and a few other reviewers said that Silver's gameplay was at least creative and somewhat better than other styles, so saying '06 was started off as a concept for a Silver game isn't far fetched and is actually believable. But that doesn't make it true, this is still just a rumour.

[silvermetal]

Loved the music though, and Silver could have been a cool character if they didn't ruin his gameplay.It wasn't ruined, just new to the games. Like the game's physics were at the time. As Naka and Iizuka once stated in an interview before Generations came out.

Dude, it was broken. Throwing objects felt clumsy and glitches were a plenty. Like I said, Silver had a nice concept with poor execution.

Pretty much this.

[silvermetal]

[HawkeSolaris]

Greatly rushed and suffered for it. Shoddy gameplay with broken mechanics. Voice acting was okay. Storyline had huge potential but was ruined from being rushed. Music was fantastic. Graphics were fantastic for the time in a Sonic game. Level design was pretty nice.
Playable, but only in my opinion only if people can be patient with the game.

[Treacher]

Like i said, it was new. I didn't say it was perfect.

Uh-huh, and it was way, way less than perfect.

[chronicles]

Sonic Team has given us low expectations with glitches and the like with later releases. But other than that, it was very fun.

It deserves better than metacritic's rating (http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/sonic-the-hedgehog) of 46/100.

And it wasn't broken.

[MightyErzu]

Why people wants to start threads like ''Why so many hates SA2'' or ''Sonic 06 isn't so bad!!!''? One or two, that is okay, but not so many! Everyone have their opinions, and my opinion is Sonic 06 is good game, but there is so many glitches and annoying thing in the game, so that makes it NO USE to me. SA2 is so nice game, I can't see anything so bad in it. And yes, that post was my opinion too :roll:

[Eastwood]

I think it had technical problems but the concept was fine.

The sad thing is that people try to use the technical problems as an excuse to bash the entire 3D genre of Sonic.

Silver tha hedgehog/ new member/ thread about 06/ likely to disappear 10 post later

lader/ rise/ repeat

Um I didn't enjoy too much.

[DarkFailure]

"Good not great but still playable"

I enjoyed it. It had a lot of flaws, but if you were willing to look past them, 06 was a nice game for Sonic fans like me.

Nah im staying but i wanted my first post to be something about the character who inspired my name.

[Miles Prower]

I can look past the bugs and say it was a great game and i enjoyed it. Only thing it lacks is a chao garden :(

[mslurr]

That's cool with me, but what he mentioned is a common pattern: new member joins, makes a Silver or Sa3 thread, makes ten posts about it, then leaves.

/: If they want a SA3 so badly make a petition and show it to sega, Spam them with petitions and such. I would play it if it came out though. 8)

[Anti Alias]

it really bugs me the notion that everthing in Sonic Rush (Princesses, Sol things, dimension-time traveling, Fire, Sol emerads (you know, the gems you get in Sonic 06), series are actually Sonic ´06 original concepts...

I´m quite surprised to be one of the few that noticed it...

I wonder, sometimes, if Sonic Team ever notices and is sick of the requests for a Sonic Adventure 3 as much as the rest of the members of the forum here.

Hmm, wouldn't it technically be the other way around?

[Zach8920]

I love it. I wouldve liked it even more if the characters had a super form.Still have this game in case if that happens.

[SonicTheHedgehog7]

I thought it was pretty decent, for being rushed. It has more cutscenes then Generations, and '06 was rushed 1 year early.

[hypersonic2560]

Deep in side, this game is another adventure game. The only major thing it's missing are chao gardens.

[SonicTheHedgehog7]

It just needed momentum gameplay, better spindash and bounce bracelet for Sonic, and ironing out the glitches, and Chao Gardens. And maybe adding some better multiplayer?

Keep the glitches and do the other things you mentioned. Then it would be the perfect adventure 3.

[SonicTheHedgehog7]

Indeed.
Keep the glitches and do the other things you mentioned. Then it would be the perfect adventure 3.

[Zach8920]

Also add a couple of cheat codes like being able to levitate forever specifically for silver and shadow in their regular forms.Don't forget shadows shoes give him the ability to fly.

[FireBain]

I jumped in place and fell through the ground and died.

...

[Zach8920]

The game would've been better if sony and microsoft hadn't forced sega to release it so early in its making.So those two companies are the ones to blame.

[Anti Alias]

a game expanding on Blaze the Cat story would be considered the closest think to
a Sonic ´06 remake.

I Said it once, I´m saying it again, Sonic Rush and Sonic ´06 actually shared the same story somewhere in the development of both games...

and Blaze was the princess, not Elise.

I can be wrong in some things but I strongly believe the every single thing we got in Sonic Rush Series are actually glimpses of Blaze´s original role a the princess of the Sonic ´06 Game.

The Jeweled and darkness scepters, Sol gems and custom gems (they are the same), SOLaris, SOLeanna, SOL dimension and such, and TWO characters, that:

-are princesses (a human and a cat)
-are related with fire (monster within / pyrokinesis)
-have emotional problems (not allowed to cry / not allowed to express emotion)
-had her development as a character based in her interactions with Sonic, ending the game with the hots for the animal (explicit in Elise´s case, implied in Blaze´s case)

the writers weren´t as stupid as we think to write a game with a romantic subplot between a human and a hedgehog. as they started with a princess that is a cat (Blaze). it still would be ridiculous but makes a lot more sense than bestiality...

then somehow, somewhere between the canceled wii version, the development of Sonic Rush and the rushing of StH´06 we got that mess of story and that mess of a game.

Blaze´s story from Sonic Rush and SRA are what we count as canon, and they introduced the jewled scepter in SRA, so they can pretty much try to retell Sonic ´06 Story from Blaze and the Sol dimension, since, all the concepts are still there, waiting to be used.

Eh I wasn't asking for it im happy with SA1 And SA2 there is no need for 3 some even consider 06 as 3 but if sega wants to they can, most of us would play it including me.

[empress]

It's definitely better after you play Generations
