Sonic '06 was the greatest game in history.

Seriously though, the game isn't as bad as some people make it out to be (at least to me it isn't). It got so bad that people who never played the game started saying it sucked, which seemed strange to me; how can you say a game sucks if you've never played it? While loading times took forever and several stages acted like they were designed against the game itself, Silver actually had some pretty solid gameplay. The boss fights were fun and challenging (before you say "The fight against Silver", note that it was fun to have a rival fight that was actually a challenge were you couldn't spam the homing attack button) and I personally find that the storyline was even better than Sonic Adventure 2. You're supposed to be confused. None of the characters are sure of what's happening because none of them know the full story. The time travel paradoxes were a bit annoying but Legend of Zelda has the same problems. I'd say its a pretty decent game despite not being finished. Had Sega not rushed it, it might've been worthy of the title "Sonic Adventure 3" (though it'd need a chao garden).

I'll admit though, even I flinch every time I watch the kiss scene.
