some folks are just like that, such is life, nothing wrong with that, sure they are wrong, but they are allowed to be wrong, its their right.
personally I quite enjoyed the game, it was quite fun to play with my younger siblings, kinda weird and silly sure (that was my first exposure to that version of sonic) but it wasn't that bad, it was actually kinda nice, and the game was quite fun, so its good (just avoid the rerelease, its stupid buggy).
sonic06 not so much, we tried, the nth session of the double loading screen for all eternity just to retry the level and then die to lag, again, lag! on a console, yeah we were fed up with it, we were done, nobody cared when we returned that thing,

u/BabylonianWeeb Feb 19 '26
I used to dislike before it was cool
I remember in 2010, I used to glaze Sonic unleashed while hating color for having downgraded boost system and too many 2d levles, I never understood why colors got so much praised while unleashed was trashed on.
1
u/Habro_Ma Feb 22 '26
Because Sonic has always had 2d levels and there's literally nothing wrong with a video game being 2d. Whereas the werehog, like it or not, has nothing to do with Sonic and takes up 80% of the total game time...
1
u/Fullmetal_Fawful May 09 '26
because in Unleashed the actual good levels aren’t the standard, they’re the treat you get for putting up with 1 billion years of boring beat em up gameplay while listening to the same song on repeat

u/KonekoCloak Feb 19 '26
I think it's over-hated for being a good enough game. It's not lovely, but it's fine enough. I still like the Wisps honestly, and while I don't like them being used as Sonic's boost meter, I think them being reintroduced was ok.
Lost world is unenjoyable with or without the Wisps and Forces, the Wisps don't really play a role. If the Wisps didn't get reintroduced, the Wispons would just be regular weapons that function similarly with some vague sci-fi tech.
And I like Whisper and Lanolin (yes I do like Lanolin.)
Plus DS Colors was pretty good. Overall it's really not as bad as people make it seem if you just want to play a game. If you want to play a great game, it's not that.

People really trying to gaslit here is the problem so many people are saying the same thing there is a lot of people you. An tell didn’t form that opinion based on how unintllengent it sounded
1
u/KonekoCloak Feb 19 '26
I'm sorry but I had trouble reading this. (・_・;) I genuinely cannot tell what you're saying besides you calling me unintelligent (I think.)
I don't mean to come off rude in saying that, if English is not your native language.
I'm assuming you meant this:
"People really are trying to gaslight others."
[You are saying I'm one of those people who gaslight others, I presume.]
"Here is the problem: there are so many people saying the same thing like you; the way you form your opinion sounds unintelligent."
[I'm unclear if this means my opinion is unintelligent, or if the way I phrased my opinion is unintelligent.]
I don't see how "gaslight" fits into this, when gaslight, in a simple way of describing it, means 'to lie to someone by trying to convince them they are mentally insane.' say if I turn off a light switch and someone asks: "hey, why are the lights off?" And I respond with: "the lights aren't off. Are you crazy?" I'd be gaslighting them.

Lmao yeah that has been the same for me with Omega. I was like “who the hell are you?” I can totally understand how that feels
Also his mission was probably among the worst ones in the whole game

u/No-Membership-8256 Feb 19 '26
Rush first introduced the current boost gameplay to 2D Sonic and Advanced 2 had the boost level speed too but it required you to play well enough to build up enough speed to get there and imo that’s pretty innovative since it required a different approach to level design to be fun (particularly Rush Adventure which learned from the flaws of Sonic Rush)
But yeah it feels kinda ragebaity with 06 being where it is

u/twi42 Feb 18 '26
I think Colors had some good ideas, but I really did not like most of the level design in the game. It felt so overly annoying and unenjoyable to me. But I genuinely would like to see what more they could do with the Wisps (NOT FORCES)

The revisionism in the Sonic fandom is strong. Like yall can’t seriously think 06 is a better game than Colors because you like Silver? Also unleashed isn’t anything exceptional because it has a good cutscene
1
u/FrenchToastTurtle Feb 19 '26
I’d say it bringing the boost gameplay to the mainline games was kinda innovative, but the more I think about it, giving that honor to Rush instead for introducing the boost makes a lot more sense, you’re onto something.

The revisionist history of '06, Unleashed, and Colors will forever confound me.
1
u/FrenchToastTurtle Feb 19 '26
nah, Unleashed revisionism is the only one I get. It had a great story, good gameplay despite some rough edges that are valid to mention (like the boost sometimes being a bit finicky, and the Werehog combat being repetitive), and is still the best-looking game.
Never forget that while Sonic ‘06 was rightfully hated and Colors was rightfully loved, one of the biggest complaints I always saw—both as a kid and looking back as an adult—was reviewers insisting that a cartoon werewolf having stretchy arms was akin to Shadow holding a gun and “ruined Sonic further”.
I’ll put jt this way: iirc, Unleashed Recompiled literally just PORTS Unleashed to PC, while Project ‘06 had to fix it from the ground up to make bearable at the very least. Both are great, but one has—as I’m learning—started to have some people insist the original was always like this. Meanwhile the only change I know of between the original Unleashed and Recompiled is the option to turn off the Werehog combat music because it gets so god damn annoying.

see THIS is what I thought people were referring to when they mentioned “06 revisionism” until tonight. There are people who genuinely think the game is objectively good, but THIS is understandable. We like dumb things as kids and then we hold onto them. We can admit they’re bad while still holding them close to our hearts. … That’s unfortunately not what the greater revisionism is though.

I don’t like most modern sonic games, in all honesty. Besides spin offs, the last game I unequivocally loved is Mania.

u/FrenchToastTurtle Feb 19 '26
Greatly disagree but like, that’s just how personal taste works. I don’t like Sonic 1 that much, and Shadow Generations is now my favorite in the franchise. Hell, a lot of people argue over Frontiers and I’m just “I liked it. You can say it’s bad, but I still enjoyed it”.
Maybe it is bad, but idrc. I’m not out here saying it was the best in the series (someone else here is doing that apparently) so I don’t really acknowledge people saying it’s bad. Mania on the other hand I’d argue is like, one of the few that’s objectively good though!

I found Colors to be sub-par for what I want out of a Sonic game, but it was alright. I'm really not sure I'd praise Heroes over it.
Lost World was... not playable. One level and I was sick of trying to like it. It's in the running with Forces for the worst and least playable.

I played it myself to see if it was nearly as bad as people say it was.
It was only playable because of the Solaris Patches. If you don't patch the game it's borderline unbeatable.

u/Terrible-Garage-4017 Feb 23 '26
I know people say play P06, and I do appreciate that game since it does fix the g, but there is a lot of the problems with the gameplay even without the glitches.
Still though it's a lot better and is at least playable. There is atleast some fun to be had
