Here's my review for Sonic 06.
To begin with let's start with Sonic's Story because that is where you have to start. As you progress through the story you can unlock Shadow's and Silver's Story. Okay first off Sonic has 3 types of levels: standard (think like Sonic Adventure 2), Princess (when you carry the princess around), and March Speed (where you go over 60 frames a second).
The standard levels are about as fun as those from Sonic Adventure 2. But they do suffer from the camera. The camera seems to be focused on trying to force you to blind jump into a location to where you want. Sonic Team hasn't fixed the camera problems. The levels are enjoyable for the most part expect for those few areas (most of which you have to play as Tails and Knuckles as well and sometimes as Shadow or Silver).
The Princess levels suck badly. You run slow and you're basically defenseless against enemy attacks and they pick the worse levels possible to throw her in. You will hate having to do these type of levels.
March Speed levels......GREAT!! I'm sorry but these alone makes the game worth playing. Sonic will run forward without you pushing the joystick forward. Sonic will go faster then anything else in gaming history. The speed you get, the total speed. There's nothing better then going that fast!!
My overall score for Sonic's story: 8/10
Now we more onto Shadow's Story which at first I didn't like but then loved but near the end hated. Okay Shadow has two types: Standard and Vehicle. Yes Sonic Team wants to give Shadow more vehicles.
Okay Standard levels are pretty fun. You run and can perform pretty cool combos to take down powerful foes very quickly. But Shadow seems to go a lot slower in this game then he did in any other game he has been in. All in all these levels are enjoyable until you get closer to the end and then you'll get pissed off a lot.
Next are the vehicles. They suck. The motorcycle turns too sharly, the buggy is a piece of trash, and the hovercraft is useless expect in like 1 or 2 levels. But what vehicle is very fun to use is the kite. That thing is very fun to use but 1 out or 4 vehicles isn't a good thing but the thing is for some rare occasions you don't have to use the vehicles.
My overall score for Shadow's story: 6/10
Now we go to Silver's Story which introduces the physic hedgehog from the future named Silver who is trying to stop Iblis in the past to save his world. Silver has only one type of level: standard. That's it. Oh and Silver moves slow but being able to lift almost anything with physic powers seems cool at first but as you progress you realize how much you hate waiting for the enemy to attack for you to attack it. But Silver's powers are pretty cool considering you can stun the enemy, lift them up, and throw them at another enemy.
My overall score for Silver's story: 7/10
Okay so this isn't the Sonic game that will have everyone say "this is the best Sonic game ever" but with March Speed people will say "it was worth playing it for those moments." And there are some parts of the game you will hate with a passion but threat not for they will pass and you can go back and do March Speed levels.
Overall score: 7/10
Good thing: Sense of speed
Bad thing: Escorting the princess

The 360 and Ps3 game doesn't harm the classics where they stand, just the new games. The Adventure saga is ALRIGHT, but clearly the original trilogy is best.
I remember when I first played Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and became a complete fanboy for him. Punching and climbing, and maybe the dreadlocks, were all he needed to be cool.
Then the series somehow gets him associated with rap, he gets the most annoying type of levels in the Adventure series (aside from Big), and gets the voice of Yami Yugi. I'm not happy with what has been done to my once-favorite character.
You know he's Sinbad in Secret Rings?
Sort of. Sonic's the only playable character in story mode, but several others get cameos as the main characters of the stories you go through. Knux shows up as Sinbad, Tails is Ali Baba, and the good Doctor appears as king of Persia. Likely that there will be a couple others, but those are the ones confirmed.

Amy is going to be in it as some kind of princess, or thats whats been seen. I was told that eggman is in story mode too. Truthfully, I think everyone in multiplayer and special mode will be in the game but thats just me.
Please Sonic Team, please make this a good Sonic game! The last good Sonic game you guys made was Sonic Adventure 2 and even then only the Sonic and Shadow levels were good. Tails and Eggman were horrible. And Knuckles and Rouge had you on a freaking scavenger hunt.
The Sonic games for handhelds were not made by Sonic Team and so far those have been the best Sonic games to come out.
Stop overflooding the games with countless characters!! All you need is Sonic!! That's it! Just Sonic!! Take a lesson from Mario who has many characters as well and yet in Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and the up coming Super Mario Galaxy; it was ONLY Mario!! Stop putting Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Cream, Victor, Espio, Charmy, Big, Omega, and everyone else in every freaking game!!
Who cares if you hurt some fanboy's feelings for not having their favorite character!? I would rather have a wonderfully made Sonic game then a crappy one with the entire cast! The spotlight should go to Sonic alone!!!

Expect one. But to be fair Super Sonic was made to be a tribute to a Super Saiyan from DBZ. Sonic 2 had a tribute to the biggest thing in the east and west. East being Japan and DBZ got Super Sonic for Super Saiyan and west being USA and Star Wars got the Death Egg for the Death Star.
