I have been a long-time Sonic fan for years, ever since I started playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as a kid. You could probably imagine my disappointment when I heard how much of a train-wreck Sonic '06 was. Ever since then, I've witnessed the downfall of Sonic the Hedgehog. This is one of those games that really needs a redo.

Pros:

1-The Secret Rings has great graphics-Sonic looks so realistic, you could probably imagine him popping out of your TV.

2-The party games are pretty fun when you get a few people to play with you, but I wouldn't recommend playing alone-they're called party games.

3-It seems like a lot has been focused on the music. Yeah, the music's good, and I like the Seven Rings in Hand song, but it just doesn't seem like our spiky blue hedgehog. Other than that, it's good.

Cons:

1-Sonic games do NOT need more human women. I really did NOT think Sonic 06 would go that far with Elise and Sonic, but they did, and it was just plain disgusting. Sonic isn't Shadow for one, and for two, Sonic should just stick to Amy.

2-Where the HELL is Tails in this game? Tails was Sonic's first best friend and sidekick (I'm talking about the games, not Archie). I never wanted Tails to be some infomaniac like Ali Baba. I think Tails should have had a bigger role.

3-Robotnik is evil. Then WHY is Erazor evil, not the famous Egg Head? I'm complaining a lot about the characters, I know, but it's only because his name is being destroyed along with all the other Sonic characters. I liked Sonic games better back then, when Robotnik ACTUALLY KILLED PEOPLE!!!

4-The game seems to be all about speed. Half the time, I don't even know where I'm going. I liked Sonic games when you could take your time and roam around freely. Now there always seems to be one path for our blue hero. Not even two--one.

I think that's about all I have to say. The cons out-balance the pros, so that's bad. If I were you, I would stick to Mario or Zelda or Metroid or Resident Evil or whatever you're a fan of until a decent Sonic title comes out.
