Talk:VG Review - Sonic the Hedgehog 2006/@comment-4743273-20130629025502

Oh wow, I can't believe you played this game and reviewed it! I've never actually played it before, but I know everything about it. In fact, I'm kind of a scholar of this game because it was a prime example of sadly unfulfilled potential.

Basically, I agree with everything you say, except for a few things; I think that the biggest issue with this game is that it has little-to-no polish. The game itself is fleshed out enough in terms of length, but the physics are off, the controls are off, and there isn't enough variation in the gameplay. Not to mention the awful animations. Basically, I think it should have played just like a more polished SA2, and I think it would have had it not been rushed for release.

Other than that, I think that the story and level design should have had more time to grow; I thought the story elements were good in terms of concept, but everything was rushed and unsatisfying. Meanwhile, the level design was really bland, buggy and stupid.

All in all, I think the game would have been awesome if it had been fully developed. In fact, I LIKED all the new characters. I found Mephiles to be imposing and creepy, and Silver is actually my second favorite Sonic character (honestly, I don't see the weed head.  Silver's hair has five spikes and marijuana has seven leaves.)  But Sega rushed it to get it out by Christmas, and it came out a mess. I still think they should remake it, though.

ANYWAY THESE ARE THE OPINIONS OF ONE PERSON WHO REALLY LIKED THIS REVIEW. Good job, Jared. :D
