Based on the Sonic games I've owned and played, I'd say a tie between Shadow the Hedgehog or Sonic Unleashed. Sonic '06 is probably the worst in my opnion based on what I've seen from the outside; rushing the game out for an occasion resulting in the numerous glitches and some of the overall cringey aspects of it, but I also have something of a personal bone to pick with Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Unleashed, so here we go.

Shadow the Hedgehog is mainly just a game that tries too hard to be edgy (ow the edge), and comes off as just unintentionally pretentious and hilarious. I also don't know why, but I'm just not a fan of having to do all those different routes. After defeating it once, I sort of lost my resolve, and I've only sporadically even touched my copy since.

Sonic Unleashed is okay as far as the Day stages go, but the Night stages are where it all just goes downhill. Slow and annoying. It's a nice concept, but personally just drags the gameplay quality and pacing down so bad, and doesn't feel at home in a Sonic game. I understand wanting to shake up the format, but that's not how you do it; like they were running out of ideas.

And that's my two cents.
