Sonic 06 was a badly rushed game. But I still love it. Its hard to explain why I guess. But being born of the start of the franchise I guess it was the hype of going from shadow the hedgehog and its graphics to a at the time next gen sonic game. And the trailer, the music, the bosses, silver, the final fantasy like opening movie. All had many hyped back then as a true new sonic game that would be good heck even amazing. Sadly Sega still had not learned their lesson and rushed the game out with a split team and dropped ideas left and right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hr5WAA3guY but noting will top his world as just a kickbutt song for a e3 trailer back in the day
Even with all the bugs and glitches, I really wanted to play it back in the day (never did though, since I only had a PC and a PS1) and it's nice to see that people still like it.
Have you tried the fan remake? I could barely run it, but I had fun with it.
Also, I hope you don't mind, but I moved the thread to the proper section.
