Sonic the Hedgehog

THE GOOD:
It's Sonic, and the usual cast are here.
Voice acting is adequate
Some speedy sequences

THE BAD:
Poor collision detection causing death
Flying off in random directions for no reason i.e. during ring dash/light dash and dying
Automatic sequences i.e. boost pad to boost pad missing and you dying
Falling through surfaces and dying
Other cheap, unfair ways of dying
Repetitive music
Poor controls
Terrible camera
No after-hit immunity so in speedy sequences you can have 80 rings one second and be dead from hitting a wall and bouncing into a tree the next second, literally.

SUMMARY:
I'm not going to lie, I haven't played for what would usually be deemed a reasonable amount of time to submit a review, and this isn't something I make a habit of. However, in this instance I am finding it an excruciating experience due to a barrage of technical problems which cause you to die without any fault...

THE GOOD:
Its a really good game for beginners and experts alike. Though this was my first sonic game, and my friend owned it, It was really fun.

Each character focuses on its main powers, like Sonic is balanced, Shadow focuses on the chaos moves, and Silver focuses on Psychokinesis. Each hedgehog has a special thing in of their stories. Silver uses Psychokinesis to levitate on objects, etc. Shadow uses vehicles, and Sonic has the Mach Speed sections where he goes really fast and you can't stop him.

Each hedgehog also has a certain set of items tied to them, Sonic has the 7 Gems which give him different powers a gem, Silver's items focus on his psychic powers, and Shadow has the chaos shards for different chaos powers.

The final battle allows you to use Super Silver, Super Shadow, and Super Sonic with two phases to beat him. Each character faces a certain type of boss. Sonic has the eggman bosses, Silver has the Iblis bosses 1 2 and 3,...

THE GOOD:
Like all gaming icons, they face utter defeat after remaining a strong presence for decades. Sonic, thanks to his developing team, has made it absolutely unbearable for him. With that said, Sonic 2006 is a game that displays its strongest challenges, patience and trial and error. Without those virtues, the game will no doubt force its gamers, including loyal fans, to quit in disaster.

The game sets off in a city called Soleanna, ruled by a princess Elise, celebrating the year of Solaris, which is interrupted by Dr. Robotnik. With his plan involving the Chaos Emeralds and the Princess herself, he is then interrupted by the hero, Sonic the Hedgehog.

Although Sonic saves Elise numerous times (cliche) a new face, Silver the Hedgehog, keeps interfering making the adventure even harder.

As previously made in the Adventure series, it displays free roaming the city, talking with people, doing side missions, or just progressing the...

THE GOOD:
The story in this game is very good. I really appreciate that Sonic team finally sat down and wrote out a very detailed story that brings our three hero's together. The main thing to take away from this is that Sonic feels like Sonic again. Some of the cut scene's will bring back memories of Sonic's glory days. I also really loved that this game takes place in a real town with people around Sonic. Sonic has saved the world so many times but this time you get to see the town that he saves and it makes the game more worthwhile. There are also a lot of town missions which helps you meet some of the people of Soleanna.

Shadow is back and in great form. Shadow's story honestly put him over as a legitimate hero in my opinion. No more guns like in his solo game. If there were any doubts as to whether or not Shadow could become a star this game answered it. Another good thing is the addition of Silver which gives Sonic fans a cool new hedgehog to get used...
