However, Sonic 06′ came out to be panned by critics and fans for its borderline broken controls, and slow as molasses gameplay. Sonic 06′ was supposed to reboot the franchise for the seventh generation of consoles to celebrate the Blue blur’s 15th birthday. None of Sonic’s previous titles or adventures has been laughed at harder and pushed aside as the infamous Sonic the Hedgehog, or more commonly known as Sonic 06′. ChaosX goes on to state in the description that the demo is the result of hard work from him and a few friends.Throughout the years Sonic fans have been having to defend their beloved hedgehog from all sorts of scrutiny from bad games to a questionable movie due out later this year, Sonic properties have been a mixed bag. The game, although amazingly bad to the point of post-modernism, still has its loyal fanbase, as what you’d expect from something like the Sonic series (a rabbit hole I would not wish anyone to go down.) YouTuber ChaosX has posted the trailer for the demo video, and from a first glance it seems to be quite the recreation, and I would not be surprised if this runs miles better than the original Sonic ’06.

It was considered so bad that Sega, Sonic’s publisher, delisted the game completely from its retailers following a somewhat related effort to remove all Sonic games with a below-average Metacritic score in order to increase the value of the brand. Abysmal loading times, incomprehensibly bad plot, cringe-inducing dialog bordering on complete unawareness, incredibly buggy camera system, numerous game-breaking bugs, unresponsive controls – take your pick, Sonic ’06 has it.

The question remains: why exactly? If you are not exactly aware, Sonic ’06, simply put, is considered one of the worst games of the series, if not all time. A trailer for what seems to be a demo for the PC game remade entirely in the Unity engine made the rounds on the internet a few days ago.

However, some of its dedicated players have spent years trying to port the Sonic ’06 to the PC, and now it looks like one of them finally did it. It was meant to reboot Sonic back to the masses following disastrous previous titles, and introduce the blue blur to the seventh generation of video game consoles, namely the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. It was never the question of how, it was always the question of why.Ĭase in point: PC gamers can now experience Sonic the Hedgehog, a game released back in 2006.
