Very poor game

Pros: Great graphics; Exceptional music; Some good speed sections
Cons: Glitches galore; horrible controls; worthless custom abilities; town stages; Abysmal camera

Summary: Sega must have not been thinking when they released this game. Some of Sonic's recent games haven't been great, but this one is horrible.
This game suffers from a huge amount of glitch. With so many the best parts of this horrible game is when you get to watch Sonic power through loops when you are doing nothing what so ever because if you touch your controller you increase your chance of dying. Its very disappointing that these glitches are in this game because this Sonic game had the most potential of any Sonic game in recent years. Another one of the issues in this came is the horrible controls. The "X" button is the ring dash button and the bounce button meaning if you miss a ring trail you go plunging into a one of the many bottomless pits.
Town stages are extremely boring. I would rather suffer through glitches than suffer through these pathetic town stages. And then there's the camera which is one of the biggest if not the biggest reason why this game is a failure. The camera doesn't change no matter what direction you go. Ok now I guess there is a good part about this game and its the presentation. The music and graphics are excellent to outstanding. His World the main theme song for the game is excellent. to bad the game is junk. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. You will be happy if you don't.

Summary: Huu Sega Sega Sega a very success company mostly with sonic the hedgehog but over the years Seag weakens with the blue guy. Since 2006-present Sonic gets weak with every game. Theis game is one of the worst games of 2006. Before you play the game you thing the same of all sonic game it's good but on the outside but, bad on the inside. This game lacks control and skill of the hedgehog. Maybe one day sega will have the perfect 3-D sonic game but till now keep working sega.

Summary: Sonic the Hedgehog for the 360 is just a mess. Take every bad part of Sonic Adventure 1 - 2 + Sonic Hereos and multiply it by 10 and you've basically got this game.
Bad controls, bad camera angles, and bad stage development just kills this game and possibly the whole Sonic franchise. Unless you're a huge (and I mean huge) Sonic fan...avoid at all costs.

This game is offensively bad
by aleemchoudhry on November 24, 2006
Pros: Some fun high speed boards
Cons: Terribly written, buggy, stupid, and boring

Summary: Sega should be ashamed of their dying brand for releasing such a buggy game. The dialogue is slow with terrible "acting." The town missions are tedious and convoluted. The graphics look no better than Sega Dreamcast's Sonic version. The game bugs are numerious and annoying. The lack of camera functionality or options within the game are infuriating.
The only thing that Sega did right in this game is officially murder the Sonic brand.
