BAD.
The glitches make the game difficult to play, and the story isn't that great either. The only thing good is the music, in my opinion.

Sonic gets even MORE super!
This game was very good, but there are also many different problems with the game. One of the problems is that the dialoge is SO CHEAP! I laughed out lound in some parts because of it. There are some scary parts, such as firey and dark monsters. That may scare younger fans, gamers, and/or, players. Another stupid part is the human-hedgehog relationship thing. Other than that, nothing is really wrong with this game. You can get this game for under $20 at GameStop, so if you don't like it, you didn't really blow much money.

Not worth playing, but okay for kids
It is simply not fun, but there is no online connection that i know of. violent, but okay for 8 year olds. sonic is a good role model, he is mischievious, yet caring and good of heart. its simply a damsel in distress sort of thing.

Violence: Tons of violence in the storyline. Not a lot of violence in the levels. Disaster and Death Scenes. Sexy Stuff: There is a romantic relationship between Princess Elise and Sonic. There is also an implied romantic relationship between Silver and Blaze. Consumerism: It is Sonic the Hedgehog series. Bad Messages: Mephiles, Eggman, and Iblis are selfish and don't care who they harm to get their objectives. Mephiles deceives Silver to try to get Silver to kill Sonic. Good Messages: The friends of the three playable characters are loyal to them and always want to help. Role Models: Sonic and his friends fight to save time itself. Overall: Get the game that says "Platinum Hits." Some glitches are fixed in this version. This game is not bad at all. Reviews make this game sound terrible. It is not that bad. I bought it a year ago and STILL play it.

Awsome Game!
There are no glitches in my game. And Silver The Hedgehog is my fave charector! Story is good! Charectors are good! Gameplay is good for all charectors! But if speed is not your thing, play Silver's part of the game, like I do. My fave of the 3 main charectors are: Abilites: Silver! Personality: Silver! Appearance: Silver again! And all charectors represent a time. Shadow: past ok Sonic: Present ok but not good enough Silver: Future AWSOME! I'm writing a fan Fiction, it's about Artic Hedgehogs. (Animal I made up, but I think Silver is one) No Sonic or Shadow in sight in the fan-fic :) Silver is my fave in appearance because he is white, and his eyes are yellow. I like those colors. Silver has more of a fashion sense than Sonic or Shadow. :)

Not exactly the Sonic I grew up with...
This game had great potential, but when it comes right down to gameplay, where it really counts, it fails to deliver. This game may be a bit poor, but it's not Terrible. there will probably be a few people who enjoy its bland story, glitchy gameplay and lengthy loading screens. at least the graphics, cutscenes and music are good...

Don't Say NO to Sonic '06!
This game is one word. AWESOME. I have it for the 360, have beat it probably 5 times, and it is awesome. It doesn't glitch at all on MY Xbox. Silver the Hedgehog is the best hedgehog EVER, and the game's story is fantastic. Violence: Mild but there's kind of some scary images. Sexual Content: Princess Elise hugs and makes out with Sonic. Educational: I learned what 'psychokinesis' meant! Positive messages:Sonic saving Elise, Silver doing everything to change his future even if it meant killing Sonic. Positive Role Models:Sonic comforting Elise. This game is great, so if you picked it up on the shelf and put it back, you don't know what you're missing!

Oh my...
If you rate this over 1 or 2 stars, stop playing video games or you WILL commit suicide. Just looking at the Graphics, Gameplay or Story will destroy your hopes of this being a good game. Prepare to go Tooth-And-Nail in the most horrably designed game since Big Rigs. First, get lost in a world where EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME. You might as well because you won't find the first stage or any for that matter without patience, luck, or knoledge of this game. But who says you WANT to? You'll also find yourself lost, but just because of bad camera angles, the place being too big and pathetic to navigate, or again, eveything looks the same. It will also be the lame platforming and unnessisary Mach Sections that will also turn you into a screaming madman. Bosses? Go and take a look at Silver for a sneak peak at the problems you face with this game. Each character has problems (Okay, Blaze and Omega are fine) but the worst by far is Sonic. First, he's either too stiff or too fast (The latter being in the Mach Speed sections). Also, reguardless of character, Controls and Physics are a disgrace to video games. This game goes for realism... I never knew the place this is based off of was so Brown and Hidious. As for story... This feels like a poor imitation of Star Wars Episode 2 which poorly mimiced a Love story (although that movie had better action at least). Also, it makes a mockery of Time Travel. Heck, Sonic Adventure did it better, which is saying a LOT because it didn't even have time travel! I'm fine with Sonic's death, but not how it was done. And the scene where Elise kisses Sonic? I would rather have Amy. Blaze. ANYONE! ANYONE BUT A HUMAN! WHY, SEGA, WHY? The reason I labeled every last negative icon and gave it a "Not for Kids"? Because I know that deep down your kids don't wanna play this, and you don't want them to either. It's sad that such a great franchize has such a mockery of a game. GameStop, here's my copy. Go bury it with all those copies of E.T.... Wait, IT'S WORTH MONEY!?! NO ONE TOLD ME IT'S WORTH MONEY! THIS IS MADNESS!

Come on, it's not that bad.....
This game is not that stupid. It's not that confusing or difficult to play. I've never experienced problems with the camera angle or any other glitches. The plot is average, but long-time Sonic fans will enjoy it anyways.

A knocked off Sonic series for faster speed and jumping fun.
Everyone would really enjoy this game. I don't know why it's appearing bad reviews on Gamespot or Youtube because I disgree. The Camera angles are fine. I'm also thinking that they were doing a glitch or something in this game it appears.
