The framerate plummets frequently, but things don’t just get choppy, the whole game completely slows down.
The camera is locked inverted on both the X and Y axis and there’s no way to change it. The problems with Sonic ‘06 are apparent the moment you start playing it. Maybe as a child I had some appreciation for the titles that I’d play on my cousin’s Genesis, but the Sonic Adventure games had me scratching my head to see the appeal. I don’t remember if I ever touched the game at that time I don’t think I did. Later, he eventually returned and told me what the problem was: he was pressing a direction on the stick when the level loaded, and apparently you weren’t supposed to do that. The one that I remember best was a level that starts Sonic out on a grind rail, but every time the level loaded, the blue blur would just blur past the rail and into the awaiting death below. He played it quite a bit, but was quick to demonstrate to me its flaws. He kept the faith, though, so he scooped up Sonic the Hedgehog on release. At the time, I was still in love with Star Fox and we were able to comfort each other while the caskets of our favorite franchises were slowly being lowered into the ground. Don’t get me wrong, he wasn’t completely blind to the series’ declining quality. Sonic Riders, Shadow the Hedgehog, he ate it all up. My best friend in college was a huge Sonic fan. My first experience with Sonic ‘06 was back in, well, 2006. I thought I knew what I was in for, and I was wrong. What I’m saying is Sonic ‘06 is shockingly bad. Why does no one care that I do this to myself? My PS3 should have just obliterated the disc. The person who sold it to me should have first demanded a psychological evaluation. I was warned, sure, but someone should have intervened. I’d probably make fun of the typically daft Sonic plot.īut after I sat down with the game for a little while, I got this feeling of betrayal. I figured I’d mostly be picking it apart for its mediocrity a disappointing release for the new generation of consoles. So I went into Sonic the Hedgehog ‘06 with a little bit of history with the title. Spelunker, for example, I legitimately like, despite its reputation. This may sound peculiar, but I don’t necessarily pick games for this column and expect to hate them. Thanks, Sega, this kusoge was exactly what I wanted
