Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) UNCUT - Darkness the Curse

Ahhh brings back memories huh? 😃

Oh man. This brings me back quite a bit, since your Sonic 06 video was how I found your channel.

Still really enjoyable to watch.

Easily the best, most in depth review you've ever made. I find myself watching it from time to time.
I know you don't review anymore, but I'd love to see you do this for something like Shadow the Hedgehog or Forces.

This is so nostalgic. I remember watching your review of 06 so many times back in 2013. Time flies.

Aw shit here we go again

Your a combination of Clement, someonecallmeJohnny, AVGN, and some other guy I can’t remember. I love it!
😂👌

Does this mean reviews are back?

IT'S NO USE!!!!!!

It feels like yesterday when this was released.

I AM HERE TO SAVE THE FUTURE!

"It feels like I'm playing a beta."
Well, you are. The final build of the game, the one they used in the demo, was nowhere near finished. So, the devs scraped together whatever functioning beta code they had, made sure it wouldn't crash, and shipped the game as it was.

sonic r please, i loved that review

I remember watching these videos 5 years ago. I even remember your really old review of 06 I saw back in 2010. These days people have kind of lightened up about this game after Rise of Lyric and Forces, fans have even made remakes of 06.

Excellent movie lol.

Only 317 views... ;-;

Ahhh, now this is what I call a blast from the past

I can't believe this was 5 1/2 years ago. The time went by way too fast. I lost count of how many times I watched this review.

Long time no see, Darkness! Good to see you still kicking. Probably a long shot to ask about new reviews, but while you’re reuploading old ones, could you possibly bring back the Sonic R review? Really liked that one.

AHM HEER 2 SAYV THA FYOOCHER

This and Clements review of 06 are my favorite game reviews ever

I wanna point out that according to what I could find out about the production of this game, that you were pretty much dead on right that Sega themselves rushed this game. Also they split the development team in two, one two work on '06, and the other to work on Sonic and the Secret Rings. So pushing half of a team to release a game with as much ambition as they were pushing for and less than a year to develop it (announced in May '05, released in December of '06) was ultimately, what led to this disaster.

In an interview with Takashi Iizuka, he stated they wanted to have a more open world structure like Jak and Daxter, or Super Mario Odyssey. They soon realized that they could only get about 3 frames per second. So they re worked the game to be more of a Sonic Adventure structure. However the team working on sonic 06 was split to develop sonic and the secret rings. Sega also told the team that they had to have something available to print to disk by holiday 2006, on both 360 and ps3. While the ps3 version released later, due to hell porting the engine. Sonic and the secret rings managed to stay solid due to it reusing the SA2 engine and having relatively small laniard stages.

I still come back to this review every now and then; it's so satisfying.

AVGN has his ROB review, Spoony has his Ultima review, etc. This is your Ultima review, bud. Your magnum opus. And it's glorious.

One of the FIRST reviews I remember watching on this site

seems like shadow the hedgehog is your least favorite sonic game since you’ve only reviewed that game once but this one 4 times 😂

I actually liked his world & all hail shadow :(

This will probably always be my favorite review of your's. Still, You forgot to mention how Sonic can't kill anything when simply spin jumping as he did in all other games.

“That alone is insufficient” 😂😂

tails sound like juri from street fighter 4

darkness have you heard of juri I think you will love this character

Man I'm old..

Reminds me of clement j64's video.

Just a little personal complaint here, but am I the only one that hates the idea of Dr. Robotnik referring to himself as Eggman? They basically took what was established as an insult from the main protagonist and made it his official name which makes him less menacing.

This is my favourite game review ever. So funny.

It was several small things that lead to Sonic 06's downfall, really. Yuji Naka left and took a majority of the people working on the game with him, the team was initially cut down to work on Secret Rings at the same time as 06, Sega wanted the game released for the 15th Anniversary...

Mephiles: (frickin' kills Sonic)
Iblis: "I dont get it why didnt you do this from the beginning?"
Mephiles: "We have to fill in two hours."

1) Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) is a really bad Sonic game that's canon. I hate it to death, but I have to praise it as well. The reason is because Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) made me a Sonic fan. If it wasn't for this game, I wouldn't have gone back to play the SEGA Genesis trilogy of Sonic games from Sonic 1 to Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I wouldn't have played Sonic Adventure 1, Sonic Adventure 2, or Sonic Heroes. I wouldn't have played Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Generations or Sonic Lost World. I'm a Sonic fan because of Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) and I don't care if it offends you, even if I, myself, also hate this game. It's at least better than Sonic Boom (Wii U). That's just awful.
2) 🎵 Cri-sis Ci-tea, with Raiden the Hedgehog. He has telekinesis and is really slow, Raiden the Hedgehog. Raiden is a whi-nee bitch. He is all coa-ted in silver paint, he has a sexual cat, and he has a mis-erable tiiiiime. 🎵

Is no one gonna mention how you have to choose between amy and elise just so you can go and save elise?

Quite possibly the best review of Sonic 06 ever.
