To be fair, Sonic 06 isn't an awful game as much as it is straight up an unfinished one. Sonic Team released a glorified Alpha because Sega told them they needed to release what they had for the anniversary no matter what. The results speak for themselves, if thy were given a few more months then I figure we could get more levels and most of the bad bugs polished out. Sure, the story would still be retarded and the new characters cringy as hell, but the gameplay might have been decent, at least.
The amount of flak this game got back in the day is legendary, but it's still better than most shit that comes out these days, especially before the day 1 patches come along. We didn't know how good we had it if we thought this was as bad as it gets.
