I honestly think that Sonic 06 is pretty bland and boring. While I haven't played it, I've watched videos on YouTube and thought this was a good game, seeing how the gameplay is in the same sense as the Sonic Adventure series, and those two ended up as simply amazing. But of course comes my problems with 06...

First off, the long loading times are just downright brutal to even sit around. It's like if Sonic 3D Blast's Saturn load times weren't enough, so now prepare for more trouble. Second, the Town Missions are a bit uncalled for. If some of you think they're fun, then that's cool, but I personally think that the HUB worlds from Sonic Adventure and Unleashed were more convincing... Oh, and let's wait for Generations, as well.

Another thing that bugs me is how characters (excluding Shadow and Blaze) got downgraded, like for instance, Amy's double jump can make her lose momentum, or Sonic's speed has significantly dropped from other titles. That's frustating, if you ask me.

Two more gripes I have with this installment include Dr. Robotnik's more realistic design and the bizarre storyline that's up there with the Storybook series... But compared to those, Sonic 06's plot still leaves much to be desired.

Overall, at least the music, the CG graphics, and the demo for this were pretty good... And that's all I have to say. So I don't really like Sonic 06, but it doesn't mean I hate it to the fullest.

Sonic the Hedgehog for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 is probably best recommended for versatile fans of the franchise (shout-out to Genesjs!), and fans who usually don't like this approach can stay away if they choose to. I also forgot to mention that the concept DID sound as if it would be good on paper, but as a final version, it's a hit-and-miss.
