Sonic 06 is like the kid who peed in class and everyone made fun of him and years later people still make fun of him and not letting it go.

Shadow's campaign is the highlight of the game for me. The final cutscene where he vows to fight for humanity no matter what has to be peak Shadow. I also really loved his dynamic with Silver as a mentor, the  respect he has for Sonic, and his water tight bond with Team Dark. Making him work for GUN was a genius move as well.

Seeing people sharing the same love towards 06 that I do is heartwarming

This basically encapsulates everything I've been saying about 06 for years. Yes, the game has a metric crapton of issues that can't be overlooked. Yes, the game is objectively bad, on a technical level between all of the bugs, the inconsistent graphics and frame rate, the absurd loading times and sheer volume of loading sequences, and some questionable moments in the story. But in spite of that, the story still manages to be fairly compelling and communicate the core themes of the characters' ideologies in an organic way. Shadow is at his best in this game by a country mile, even surpassing his characterization in SA2, arguably. It completely wraps up his story arc from SA2 by showing him finally reaching his redemption as a person and ending his story as a definitive hero with friends and comrades who would fight and die with and for him .<br>Sonic 06 was ambitious as all hell and it shows. It missed a lot of the marks, but it wasn't afraid to take those shots, every step of the way. The game oozed style and ambition in all of the right ways. I would be ALL for a Sonic 06 remake, if Sonic Team ever found the confidence to give it a shot.

I like how for one of the darkest games in the sonic series, your primary adjective when describing it was charming

People seem to forget the reason 06 was garbage is because ITS NOT COMPLETE. Im not saying we should excuse Sega for being idiots and forcing Sonic Team to release it too soon but the reasons its hated tend to be to "follow the trend" of "06 bAd har har". Everything about the game oozes with creativity. Yes even the story which by the way would have gone through revisions if Sega didnt fuck up and say "release that shit now". The ambition this game had still has my respect even to this day. Something i cant say post-2010

It's a real shame this doesn't have any more views than it does. I always find it comforting to find videos like these talking about the good things about Sonic 2006 because there's a lot more to it. If wasn't know for its buggy messes or the low frame rate and if the creative people were given more time to work on it. Then it would be praise as this amazing game and would of change the way Sonic games were forever.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C279CTQIG2k&t=951">15:51</a> cartoon animals can still be badass though like Sly Cooper or the TMNT. I miss when Sonic was Shonen

Good to see someone showing 06 some love too! 06 has one of my favorite Sonic stories as well, giving depth to some of our favorite characters. Personally, I feel Silver has one of the best stories in the game, especially with him struggling with the morally grey conflict of sacrificing a life for the sake of the world, which is fittingly never answered as it's never an easy question to answer.
