Make no bones about it, however, it's far more than just the glitches shown in this video. You also have to contend with some of the worst controls in gaming, poor animation, ugly graphics, an insipid plot, and countless other issues.

I had hoped to cover other things in this video, such as the vast differences between versions of the game shown at tradeshows and how the game manual references a fairly large number of things that aren't actually present or functional in the game. On top of that, this video was made with me barely even playing half the levels in the game - I went through Sonic's levels but almost completely ignored Shadow and Silver. Unfortunately, 11 minutes is all I have and there are no plans to make a sequel video (please, don't make me play this game any more ;_;).

If you want to see full, unedited footage of this game, be sure to check the video I made as a precursor to this one:

You know, it's Microsoft's fault for rushing Sega into this. :/ And the whoever wrote this storyline for the game is going to have their nuts chopped off and have their bodies burn in flames.

@thecrispt3r4t0r Microsoft didn't care about this game. They were too busy putting all of their resources behind pushing Epic to finish Gears of War, which came out the same week as Sonic 2006.

@Tracetopher Which is why it has almost 3000 thumbs up, obviously. Because people don't care.

4:55 glitches i threw the controller a lot

[ShuckleShellAnemia]

2:45 is hilarious.

[DevinFilms66792]

7:51 this is where they got the idea for Sonic Generations

[noname76761]

@Tracetopher But no game should have this many. And he didn't even go into Silver and Shadow's levels.

[Tracetopher]

@BlazeHedgehog Ok well everygame has glitches

[alessandro348]

Favorite Sonic game was Sonic Adventure 2 battle.

Sega, why no more Chao gardens?

@Gligar13Vids In Ps3 its worse though O: which is the one I had.The load times are RIDICULOUS because their more longer then the 360 version (WITHOUT INSTALLING IT TO YOUR HARD DRIVE) as well as the quality.They also make the silver coin collection a waste of time A BIG waste of time.

[TheSegaKoolaid]

@Tracetopher what the hell are you smoking to say this game is good? the only good thing about it was the music

[Gligar13Vids]

@RenzuNuone It had Pop-In, and poor quality textures. Keep in mind, this came out the same week GoW did.
