Well, I hardly had much trouble with glitches. IDK why that is, but most of the time I just focused on completing mission objectives rather than screw around or take unnecessary risks in order to progress quicker. Granted, 06 wasn't the best Sonic game I've played, but I seriously think that the game is overhated in many ways. I've played Sonic games before where I didn't get as close to the amount of entertainment I got from 06, yet it baffles me why those games are hardly ever mentioned.

I like the game mainly because I tried to focus on the things that the game did right, only taking the bad into account when introduced to situations where even I couldn't give a legit argument as to why something bad happened the way it did (i.e. me making a screw up that costed me a life instead of the game itself screwing me over). Honestly, I think that most of the glitches people encountered could only occur if they actively seeked them out instead, you know, actually playing the game and focusing on the task at hand. I just see no point in constantly worrying about something going wrong the entire time you're playing a game unless you encounter enough problems to where you can be legitably concerned about said problems greatly interfering with gameplay, and to me a lot of people do just that when playing 06 either because of them hearing what other people havem said about the games problems or just expecting problems for some different reason entirely. How exactly can you enjoy a game, regardless of its overall quality, to the fullest if you aren't trying to actively seek the good things about it and only acknowledge the bad when it becomes a serious issue?

Then again, I'm not the one who should be asking questions right now. Either way, my reasons for liking the game can be summed as,

1) For some reason I didn't encounter glitch problems as much as most people did with this game (which makes me ponder how exactly they happened to people who were just playing the game), and 2) I just seem to have more patience with 06's flaws than many other gamers do, like I do with most video games in general.
