Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, for all intents and purposes is a bad game, there's no getting around that... But what bothers me nowadays more is that it's been 5 years since it came and a huge part of the Internet gaming community still freaks out over the mention of it. Can't we just move on?
I've played it recentely and as bad as it is, it's not just not painfully bad, today it's comically bad, the plot and the dialogue triy to be Final Fantasy-serious but it ends up being unintentionally funny, much like recent Final Fantasy games themselves.
So what is really still there to be offended by?
