Sonic '06 review

[ChrisKooltv]

yur drawin are dope

[Jonaheuphrates]

loading screens are 25 secs (at the most) apop.

[Jonaheuphrates]

you sir have no patience when it comes sonic games

[Jonaheuphrates]

you exaggerated to make this game look extra bad..i disliked this video

[Jonaheuphrates]

that game was pretty damn fast in the sonic storyline

[00HTH]

MEPHILES!!! WOOO!!

sega HAS to bring him back!

[ShamanTheHedgehog]

i found chaos better than mephiles, but only by a liiiittle bit!

[ShamanTheHedgehog]

i can't make a power point into a video...how do you?

[hypemiitrudog07]

@ShamanTheHedgehog When you use microsoft powerpoint to make videos, go to the button labeled 'file' and then click save and send. Then click on create a video, which brings up 2 options for recording: 1. record timings and narrations, or 2. _ seconds to spend on each slide. I would recommend the 1st option since it is tailored by you, and it creates a video (it takes a long time however), and it comes in wmv format. This is for powerpoint 07. I hope it helps!

[ShamanTheHedgehog]

@hypemiitrudog07 :') just heard an awesome song about zombies (never forgotten)...

oh and thanks

[msSonic192]

game still sucks ASS! great review though

[6974supersonicspeed]

what tool on ms paint did you use to draw?

[wakeangel2001]

@6974supersonicspeed I don't draw with MS Paint, I draw with a pencil and paper, then color and edit with photoshop.

[iBerserkTV]

@wakeangel2001 How did you import your drawing to Photoshop? You said you used a pencil and paper. Right?

[wakeangel2001]

@iBerserkTV haven't you heard of scanners? They've been around for over 10 years and you can get them at just about any computer store.

[iBerserkTV]

@wakeangel2001 Ohhhh thanks! And Nice video!

[IceStudios100]

i like this game

[aapisaac]

wakeangel did you know that sonic's story was also cliched because it had a damsel in destress that gets captured by the main villan then saved by the main hero then doesn;t learn anything then gets captured 3 times after

[toonrichard]

You know thi game came out on ps3 too right? the same day? the same year? yeah it did... I think this is considered spamming right? i really dont know so please correct me.

[CaptainBarBarJinks]

best sonic 06 review ever

[pizzalover9000]

so did you like the game or hate it you never gave your final opinion

[wakeangel2001]

@pizzalover9000 Like I said, it was a mixed bag, there were parts where I did genuinely enjoy myself, and most of the rest looked like it would have been really good if only they had more time to polish it. On a technical level this was a pretty bad game, but there WAS a gem in there, they just didn't have enough time to scrape off the rough edges.

[Ionic0]

worse sonic game i ever played. i wasted 15$

[sonic10158]

a game that is half glitches can not be a great game

[legofreak1100]

i like the pics

[MrLOL9999]

I wish SEGA could release a Sonic game that has JUST Sonic going from point A to point B while avoiding stage hazards and attacking enemies. I know Sonic Colors did this but without any stuipid gimmick.

[wakeangel2001]

@MrLOL9999 Sonic 4 was basically that, and Sonic Generations will too. But there is more to making a good game than denying innovation and sticking to something people liked 15 years ago. There was a lot of stuff in this game that could have been great, but it wasn't given enough development time to achieve its potential.

[Excalibur5k]

the story was terrible in my opinion. mainly the lack of time travel logic and the beastality between sonic and elise

[VideoGameExplorers]

Did you draw all of those? Awesome.

[BRiTDRAG2]

@Marionist98 if you hate sonic then why did you watch this review?

[KGN94]

This is the best review i saw, nice drawings. (sorry for my english)

[glitchmagician]

You're a great artist and have a good sense of humor. There were many plot elements of this game that I liked, but there were some that would give little kids nightmares. Like nightmares about cooties that six-year-olds have.

[Mrd122]

You know a Sonic game is pretty bad when it gets worse reviews than Sonic Labrynth

[Sami8s]

why are all saying this game sux? i like this game...

[wakeangel2001]

@Sami8s I'm not judging you for liking it, heck I even liked several parts of it, but on a technical level it's a pretty bad game. The biggest betrayal is that the game was so hyped up, and had so much potential, but rushed production caused it to be released with so many glitches and other issues that it was a massive disappointment to all fans, turning what could have been one of the greatest games of all time into one of the most infamous.

[Devixicus]

@wakeangel2001 Oh, yeah. Guess who rushed it? SONY AND MICROSOFT!!!!!

[sonicrocks942]

@wakeangel2001 I heard they fired the Sonic 06 playtesters for dis-liking the game. If this is true, They must have known it's bad.

[EnigmaHood]

Good job with the drawings, nice review

[CelluloidHoax]

do all load screens last 20 seconds?

[wakeangel2001]

@CelluloidHoax some last quite a bit longer than 20 seconds, and the SHORTEST I encountered still lasted close to 15 seconds, and that was only one.

[SacredBlackKnight]

Also in Adventure 1/2 it took about 3 seconds to load entire scenes/levels, while here it takes at least 15 seconds to load just for someone to say "Thank you", before loading again, and Adventure is an older series...

Also Adventure centered you while going through loops, since the actions are scripted and you can't control them, but in Sonic 06, these loops often have you positioned off to the left/right, so being just SLIGHTLY to the left/right before entering them will result in your death.

[SacredBlackKnight]

Yes. Characters who could turn on a dime in Sonic Adventure 1/2 have trouble making 45 degree turns when running, and have to walk in a circle if you just want to turn them around from a standing position, when in Adventure 1/2 they could turn where they stood. Also trying to make SLIGHT turns during mach speed parts results in running into a wall. You can't turn when airborne in mach speed levels, so if you're angle is off by 1*, one jump could send you off the edge from the distance you cover.

[Knightslayer35]

You can go relatively fast but if you want to PLAY THE GAME you have to go slow which is bullshit

[jefffox1012]

nice review and this isn't really the slowest sonic game that would be sonic labyrinth(a game gear game)

[wakeangel2001]

@jefffox1012 the difference being that Sonic Labyrinth was intentionally slow, still the worst Sonic game ever.

[jefffox1012]

@wakeangel2001 yeah still the concept of sonic being slow is stupid

[mariosonickirby1]

but sonic 06 will never be as slow as sonic labrynth for the game gear

[wakeangel2001]

@mariosonickirby1 Though I often say that Labrynth was the worst sonic game ever made, it at least had the excuse of the Game Gear's weaker processor not being able to scroll a 3-D environment very fast, this game used the processing power of the X-Box 360 and had a lower scrolling speed than Sonic R for the Sega Saturn.

[LiquidArmProduction]

ever play Sonic Labyrinth

nice drawings by the way

[LiquidArmProduction]

ever play Sonic Labyrinth

[WilligsPage]

people should not judge the controls being over sensetive. there is a control setting on the xbox dashboard

[palmapanfu]

sonic heroes is slower sonci adventure 2 is slower! I love this game its better than adventure 2 because i have adventure 2 battle !

[Crash5161]

@palmapanfu no, this game is almost the slowest (sonic labyrinth),

[supersonic041]

the only bad guy that does something

[GGUNDAMFAN34]

@sagax04 From what I read, the PS3 version was worse than the 360 version because of unimproved load times to an even worse frame rate.

[Sonic4K6]

@GGUNDAMFAN34

Wrong

The game is faster and it has higher polly and less glitches on the PS3.

[thesoniczone11]

does anyone know that the dummy rings were Tails and Rouge's solo attacks in Heroes were Dummy Rings? so they are not Knew!

[shadowluma]

It was on the PS3 to,why does everyone only reference the X-Box 360 one.

[wakeangel2001]

the 360 version is the one I played, but I did mention that one of the reasons this game was rushed was so it could be a PS3 launch title. Anyway the only difference between the 2 versions is the PS3 has a slightly better camera, but all the glitches and bad physics are still there.

[Crash5161]

@shadowluma probably because for some reason, the majority of reviewers and stuff have a 360

[dappleback]

I was a little disappointed when you said you didn't have any gameplay footage, but Your drawings are actually really good. XD

[wakeangel2001]

thanks, I was going for a bit of a zero punctuation kind of thing.

[wakeangel2001]

Yeah, I think Sega is really gun shy after that, they even delayed Sonic 4 by half a year because of a few minor glitches that they insist on smoothing over, which is good, I encourage them to make sure their products are quality.

[HurricaneXzilor]

Shadow Does have chaos Blast :( But it sucks :(((

[1andrewman1]

sonic and the secret rings felt sooo retro

[drpmusicvideos]

i really wanted to like this game but i just dont think its that good, love the story though, i only finished it to follow the story lol

[wakeangel2001]

truly you are gamer after my own heart.

[Actevise]

even slower than sonic labyrinth?!

[wakeangel2001]

Sonic Labyrinth is my #2 pick for worst Sonic game of all time, but it at least made the excuse that Sonic was SUPPOSED to be slow because of some shoes.

[BlastofFire1]

Honestly, Sonic '06 isn't entirely as bad as some people think. Shadow and Silver are very interesting characters to play (mostly Shadow's Chaos Boost and Vehicles, and Silver in general), and the graphics are superior compared to the awful graphics in Shadow the Hedgehog. But it's overrun by a bunch of crap, especially loading screens, I do agree.

[piplup10036]

WOW this was the funest sonic 06 review I watched 5/5 stars man I ROTLMAO on the roughs and the pokeball part

[sonicthewerhog]

LOL! 2:36

sonic: hello!?!? camra,i'm over HERE!!!

[Venom31ssbb]

i like ur drawings.

[unrealelle]

So very very true.... I cant remember how many times I died playing that game. And yes the camera views.... ugh.... Damn you cursed camera. And I wish, WISH! That they had just given the characters their original attacks.... seriously.... I miss Rouges awesome kicks and shit.

Though I will admit I love the three hedgehogs, Shadow, Sonic, Silver ahem in that order.

Also, your dog is really cute barking in the background. ^^

And there is sooo much that is soo wrong with this game ughh...

[ShadTH15]

The game ROCKS ! NOTHING hard about controls ! I had troubles only with Tails at first hours of the game. I can easily control everyone else. Loading screens don't bother me at all - 30 seconds is not 2 minutes ! Yes,camera is stupid, BUT only with Rouge and Knuckles when they climbing walls to the top, at other points I can control it with right stick and press buttons almast at the same time. The only thing that I don't like is Kingdom Valley speed part

[Treeckogrl]

:D YES! Somebody else who likes this game! I totally agree with you, ShadTH15. Totally.

[Replicante05]

If you like the game, then you have the worst taste in the world.

[Rock1Golem]

Yeah!What this guy said!You guys suck.I really don't have to be any more sophisticated than that.Like I said, you guys suck.You suck big hedgehog balls!

[Rock1Golem]

Are you being sarcastic or are you actually that stupid?

[ShadTH15]

I'm not being sarcastic and I'm not stupid, I didn't say that this game is the BEST in Sonic series (the best no doubt is Sonic adventure 2, 2nd place i'd give to Sonic advance 2 maybe). I just said that the controls are not that hard (I think in Sonic Heroes the controls are much harder to get used to for an amateur gamer). And the camera is not that buggy( I just control it with right stick)....Anyway, I could prove all that, but I can't, 'cause I don't have anything to record with.

[SlimeyJacobstien]

9:26

Umm, That would be bad-ass if you didn't realize that he could have just done that the whole time and got what he wanted the whole time.

[wakeangel2001]

I think there were some practical limitations, for example he had to make sure his relationship with Elise developed first, it would be pointless to kill him if she didn't know him. He also may not have been powerful enough at the beginning of the game, or he simply wanted to get his revenge on Shadow first, even a demon has to prioritize.

[SlimeyJacobstien]

Yeah, but the point is that he sent silver to do something he could have done himself.

[Aanzhen]

I agree with everyone else about splitting the review in half.

Also I like to agree on some things from the game, I myself don't have a Xbox360 but I'v read reviews and such.

Sonic 06' does have a every good story line but its just a missed oppertunity because it was gone with a blow of a flame..really. Its like a big middle finger in the face when you finally beat the god damn game.

[E123OmegaShow]

i love that draws XD

[Michaeldragon800]

Nice Review Man! But you should've talked about the other Amigo characters like Knuckles, Omega, Blaze, & Amy.

[wakeangel2001]

I would have, but I had time constraints

[Michaeldragon800]

True. But you could've just spilt this review into 2 parts so you have more time to talk about more of this game, like the rest of the Amigo Characters for example.
