I agree. Humans in a Sonic game should either be as cartoony as the regular cast or omitted from the setting outright. Hell, I'd even tolerate, to a degree, the kinda weird Elise to Sonic thing if it was done in a more non-realistic art style (Side note: I would think that Sonic is most likely to remain single or, if built up and written well enough, maybe end up falling for Amy, even with her stalker-ish tendencies and actions). It's a fair point to say that realism is probably not suited for something that is rooted in being unrealistic, ; IE, a super fast, blue hedgehog that defeats robots powered by little woodland creatures captured by an evil scientist that has a huge mustache and an egg-shaped body.

@@santiagonovoa9230 This game has no rules with Time Travel. Across all the people I’ve argued with (…admittedly aggressively) at least one guy said it follows “Sonic CD/Back to the Future logic” and another said it follows “Time Travel B logic”. You know it’s bad when you can’t get a consistent explanation across those who defend this abomination of a story (worse than anything the Adventure Games or even what Pontac and Graff brought to the table.). It’s supposedly set up as Sonic CD logic, but if it was… then Sonic would be wiped from existence for Saving Elise as events going back to Sonic and Co. finding that bunker and the news and Elise would have changed drastically. You can’t just change the rules with Time Travel. You have to keep it consistent and clear for the audience no matter what.
AGuyOnAnApp #1 Well, while Sonic Boom is bad, it isn’t as bad as Sonic ‘06. NOTHING is as bad as Sonic ‘06. Well, no Sonic game anyways. But the sonic boom series, in my opinion, still pretty bad. Don’t know about the cartoon though. Might be the only good thing about it.

Amy: Silver Sonic is a robot, silly! Knuckles: Now I know why Sonic went after the princess. Amy: HE DID WHAT?
EDIT: 2023 and here I am again...man. Johnny is one of the few RUclipsrs where I can go back to watching videos that are this old, but still hold up just as much as his more recent reviews. Mad respect Johnny.
So no one did anything because they wanted to get rid of her? ... huh... I, uh... actually, given how incompetent she seems to be at anything but possibly basic breathing capabilities (... not _entirely_ sure on that though)... huh. That would actually _legitimately_ make sense... xD
I was 13 when i first watched this video. Now 24, living on my own, waiting to get married and still an avid watcher of somecallmejohnny along with being a dedicated sonic fan. Some things never change and I'm glad John hasn't either.
This video is now a decade old today. Still rewatching after all these years. Glad Johnny is still making vids for us after all this time, and I'm glad he's been getting even better over the years.
Man this "Princess" Elise has been captured more times in this game than Princess Peach has in her entire life. Also Elise is without a doubt the WORST character in Sonic history.
***** Play Paper Mario, you. I love how you throw around accusations when it's clear you don't possess enough knowledge to back it up. What a moron, amirite everybody?
***** I was just having some fun. I know there is a lot of Mario games, but the Princess did try to escape in the Thousand Year Door and she was playable in the sequel. I think people should just be more considerate to Peach. Everyone is always insulting her and her character, but it is up to the writers whether or not she gets a role in the story. Anyway, you should check out Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, if you like RPGs. One of my favorites for sure.
***** Well, I believe she gets kidnapped in that one too so you might not like it. I can't remember exactly, but I know you play as her where I think she tries to escape but can't or maybe it was to collect information. I just don't want to get your hopes up. There's always Mario 2 if you want to play as her and Super Paper Mario, but that game isn't as good as the other 2.
@@elliottracer35 The problems of this game go well beyond being unfinished. A lot of the level design being ass, the story being a poorly written mess, and having way too many characters with some of them being horrendous to play as. Being unfinished is just one in a huge myriad of big issues this game has This game at its core is terrible and objectively so. You show this game in game designing classes if you want an example of how NOT to design a game.
One tiny insignificant thing I will defend about this game is that Johnny kind of misunderstood the whole deal with Shadow sealing Mephiles. It's supposed to be a stable time loop. Shadow was the one who sealed Mephiles away because he went back in time to seal Mephiles away. And he went back in time to seal Mephiles away because he went back in time to seal Mephiles away. He never actually left Prison Island during his hibernation. So yeah, still dumb, but not quite as dumb as Johnny thought.
@@carlbloke8797 that would not be true. Time travel in this game is portrayed like a physical travel, meaning that Shadow would be sleeping in SA2, then in S06 he would physically travel back in time, retaining everything from S06, do stuff and go back to the future. There would temporarely be two instsances of Shadow during SA2 and none (very possibly) during a brief part in S06. It's not something like Zero Escape and Steins Gate, where the concept of time travel was focused on only the consciousness being sent through time.
@@carlbloke8797 You misunderstand. It's based on a "static" idea of time and time travel. Read, the kind where the future, present and past are set in stone, _and_ you are able to go to the past and "exist twice" at the same time. ... ... ... Thiiis then of course begs the question why Sonic & crew don't get the idea to use time travel to have 700 Chaos Emeralds along with a hundred Sonics, Silvers and Shadows to annihilate the shit out of their foes, but hey. ... and of course they fucked this over _in its entirety_ by _then_ having the final cutscene of the game involving time travel which _DOES_ change the timeline, *_BUT HEY... WHATEVER..._*_ cries_ PS: Fun side note... Silver brought a blue Chaos Emerald from the future. *_THERE ARE EIGHT CHAOS EMERALDS IN THIS GAME AND THE WRITERS DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE._*
Thank you, someone finally said what I've meaning to for a while, and better too. I always honestly felt Johnny's explanation of Shadow sealing Mephiles to be, well, pretty fucking stupid, actually. Like you said, stable time loop. Its the only time I feel like the game is halfway competent in explaining time travel, but I digress.
Well I have a theory. Blaze went to that alternative dimension in 06. Then she came back from an alternate dimension in rush. That’s how in rivals eggman nega is able to be from the future.
Shilvergreen seriously, it is the best part of the game. I played through the whole damn thing and the only thing better is the fact that you can meme up a lot of shit about this game
If a seven year old can cry from tripping and falling, stubbing their toe, taking a shot from a doctor, or getting bitten by someone, then a seven year old can sure as hell cry after losing both his or her parents at such young age, and being sheltered most of his or her life. Guess Princess Elise never gave a shit about her parents to begin with if she was able to not shed a tear *ONCE* for *TEN YEARS*. The whole "tears being essential for Iblis's release" thing just sounds fan-fictiony. Who came up with such a silly pre-requisite? Why couldn't it have been something more logical, like say, her *DEATH*?
chimanruler15 I never got the feeling that she barely knew her parents, especially her father. From the flashbacks, it seems that they were very close.
Things I actually liked in Sonic 06: The prerendered cinematics are really nice to look at. I love the design of Egg Cerberus, it's a huge robotic dog, it looks awesome. Shadow roundhouse kicks Silver and I love it. It introduced Silver, who is one of my favorite Sonic characters. THE SOUNDTRACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
Gotta agree on the Egg Cerberus. I liked the design of most mechanical things in 06. The artstyle was a weird choice but it works well for the Eggman boss mechs even if they do feel a bit generic.
Sonic's 10th anniversary: Sonic Adventure 2. Has been critically praised as "the best" Sonic game. Sonic's 15th anniversary: Sonic 2006. A game that had lots of potential, but with wasted effort. Sonic's 20th anniversary: Sonic Generations. A game that's pure fanservice for both old and new fans alike. Bringing back Sonic to what he was best known for. Sonic's 25th anniversary: ....Uh oh.
+Pit ピット I really don't think this franchise will survive one more blunder like this and since Sonic is the only Sega franchise alive, his death means no more Sega.
Levobertus When the 2010's came, SEGA decided to work only on their "strong" IPs and the result was Aliens Colonial Marines, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and Bayonetta 2 almost being cancelled before Nintendo went to save it.
It's a tradition to come back to this video every once in a while. Can't believe it's been over a decade. I remember being so excited seeing this finally get uploaded during this Sonic marathon back in 2013. Legitimately one of the best game reviews on this whole site.
Holy shit, this game is ten years old.......and that still hasn't stopped people from tearing it to shreds (myself included). Happy 10th anniversary, Sonic 06!
10 years since the release of this feels crazy, especially since it feels like it were only yesterday that I had first seen it. Here's to another decade of great content!
wasn't beastiality, it was a kiss that was mostly censored by a beam of light. although still being highly questionable, to call it beastiality is a heavy exaggeration.
i know. i wasn't really a fan of all that at all. would've made sense for Amy to be the vessel to seal iblis because then the romance wouldn't be all tacky and there'd be some actual development for amy. tho that would open up some more plot holes that may need further thinking to plug.
You messed up on the Time Travelling explanation. The Shadow that was locked up never escaped. The Shadow that sealed Mesphiles was the same Shadow from the present that went to the past, thus causing a Time Loop. A Time Loop is when a person from the present of future causes a very important event in the past that comes from time travelling, however because their influence was so important in their original time line regardless, the future/present version of that being doesn't change anything that happened, since he was the cause of it in the first, regardless of where his past self is. So basically, Shadow 10 years ago was still frozen, the Shadow that sealed Mesphiles was the Shadow in the present. Because the Present Shadow went back to the present, and his past self was left to grow, it created a Time Loop where Shadow is always destined to go back in time and do those important things.
Good thinking, personaly i think something else but if what are saying is true then shadows purpose was to go back in time to seal mephilis right? well he couldnt really do that the first time i think, i mean the cycle shouldve started somewhere so the very first time this happened shadow didnt come back immediately, that happened later. And since shadow had gone back in time, wouldnt that radicly change the future? since mephilis wouldve been roaming around the first time it happened when he didnt get sealed, and then if shadow would return the second time it happened when mephilis DID get sealed, the mephilis that didnt get sealed should vanish as soon as shadow goes back to seal mephilis for the very first time.
We need to appreciate that over a decade later Johnny is still going strong. I still remember when this video dropped back in the day, and I’m glad to see it’s been seen by millions of people
I know alot of people are gonna get pissy with me, but I couldn't help but think of this when Tails appeared in Forces. More specifically when he bonded with Classic Sonic
If you legitimately hated someone, you need to make sure they hate it before you give it to them. Force them to spend 4 hours watching this review and then Clement's review, and _then_ send them the game XD
Woodsy the III Eh, probably depends on the person. For me, I actually enjoyed most of my first playthrough somehow, even though it was in 2010. Well, besides Silver's stupid billiard puzzle... Anyway, for someone like me, a legitimate review of a bad game often makes it less fun for me.
Been on a rewatch of all the Johnny Vs videos and I happened to start rewatching this one exactly ten years after it was first uploaded. I can't believe I was here when it was first uploaded and am back once again. Thank you so much for all the years of entertainment, Johnny. You'll always be an inspiration to me.
So blowing out the flame means she would never have met Sonic. So does that me she would have no memories of him. oh god time travel is so complicated. Back to the Future did it right
So Theory: The Reason that Sonic 06 is in Generations despite the many issues with that is because 06 is part of a completely different timeline that got merged when the Time Eater Struck. This also explains the Secret Rings reference and Music from Non-Canon Games.
No, the actual explanation is Generations could honestly not give less of a fuck about any kind of story or interesting writing. Having 06 representation in of itself doesn't bother me at all. It's the complete lack of writing and attention to detail that Generations is. That and it's so Goddamn overrated on top of it.
16:15 "Everyone in this game is an absolute dipshit." 18:15 "Every single, goddamn character in this game is a complete idiot!" This could not be *closer* to the truth.
Mamaspeeder considering SEGA wont be at this years E3 for obvious reasons, I think we all know his next game will be in 2016 for Sonics 25th anniversary. HOLD ME!
Also, at least Peach can fight! Look at Super Mario RPG, she's a powerful mage. Look at Super Princess Peach, SHE'S THE HERO! Elise is the worse princess of all video games.
Wait wait wait...if Silver left his Emerald from the future with Elise and that's how she has it... ...WOULDN'T THERE BE TWO BLUE CHAOS EMERALDS?! One from the present and one from the "future" technically?! Holy shit Eggman, how did you miss that?!
@@zeroattentiongaming820 No. Based on the kind of time travel this game uses (... except for when they destroyed their concept by having Elise and Sonic be able to change the past by blowing out baby Solaris), you could go to the past and meet yourself. And Silver brought that blue Chaos Emerald from the future to the present, in addition to the blue Chaos Emerald that was already in the present. *_YES. That's right. This game has eight Chaos Emeralds and the writers didn't even notice._*
@@AniGaAG Its got more than 8. Sonic and Shadow find 2 Emeralds in the _fucking_ *future* and bring them back to the present, where those same Emeralds past equivalents are around...somewhere. Fucking Christ this story sometimes.
I've actually thought of something similar to that. Imagine you have a gold bar. You go to the future to get another one. Then, you go back in time with the gold bar from the future. There would be two bars, but after a while, the original will go away because the you from the past comes back to pick it up. You cannot create matter. That is the rule.
And the one enjoyable part I found in the entire game was when Shadow kicked Silver in the head. I still go back to this game because I can tell myself "Just wade through it and you'll get to the best part Meli, just suck it up."
Ha! I like it. One of my favorite memories is seeing an abusive horse owner get kicked in the face and go into agonal breathing (we gave him cpr and he lived). That probably makes me a bad person, but, hey! The world needs a few of us. And that shit was hilarious.
True. This may be the worst Sonic game, but to me, it's got the best soundtrack. The rest of the game needed to be as good as the soundtrack. But, I guess that would've taken an entire overhaul, according to another commentor. But, THIS is the best part of the Sonic Marathon, Johnny's reviews.
Here's the thing... Boom is a spin off.. not a main entry sonic game. Sonic 06 IS a main title... a game to celebrate the 15TH ANNIVERSERY OF SONIC THE FUCKING HEDGEHOG!!
+Kuma Gamer the 15th anniversary was just not good for Sonic, when your "best" games in 2006 are racing games, that's when you need to rethink your life choices.
+Kuma Gamer it's based on the fact that it COULD'VE been better, and yeah, I agree it could have; but nothing can change that, it is what it is.. and what it is, is a piece of shit.
Coupled with this and The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, these are some of the best, unbiased, and very accurate reviews of games I believe people either over exaggerate or completely overlook
+mach6247 He's looking from both sides and looking at the games from the easiest way possible, the average Joe mentality. His way of reviewing isn't for diehard fans despite that possibly some of his fans may be, it's made for people as if they're watching these videos for the first time, so for the most part, he's keeping a subdued attitude with a few exceptions like this game and Super Mario Sunshine.
you wanna know my favorite part about this entire game? when you reach the credits in sonic generations and it reaches sonic 06 and it gets to the mach speed section, you can see the lives counter go down and then go back up, likely meaning that the player got a gameover!
I remember being so hyped to play this as a kid. I went on fansites every day after school just to see if any new information had been released, listening to the soundtrack, and watching the game trailers over and over again. Lo and behold, on Christmas Day 2008, I received my white 360, Sonic '06, and Sonic Unleashed. Eager to play the game I'd been frothing at the mouth to experience for two whole years, I booted up Sonic '06... and it was one of the worst experiences of my short life. Fortunately for me, I found Sonic Unleashed to be quite good, and I had a ton of fun with it. I'm very thankful my father decided to get both games, otherwise that Christmas would have been nearly ruined.
Sonic '06 was the first sonic game i ever played, as well as the first game i ever played on the ps3. i personally really enjoyed it, despite its flaws. when i was a small child, i didn't really understand how everything works and thought the glitches were just part of the difficulty, and i also really thought all the story elements were cool. even to this day, seeing all the criticisms people have of this game, how much people hate it, i still feel that slight bit of hype when reaching certain moments in the game, such as mephiles's release, his battles, the final battle with eggman, the final battle with iblis and the last episode. except for the kiss. that's the one part i can say i genuinely hated about the game. and the mach speed section in crisis city hard mode. trying to get an S on that was hell.
This is how the game should be remade: 1.No glitches or bugs 2.Keep the original OST and maybe add some new ones 3.Change the story a little bit to make it more fluent 4.Don't rush the creation of this game 5.Release it for ALL systems 6.Add some elements from the new Sonic games 7.No long loading 8.Change and improve Elise's character Anything else?
To this day I just cannot get over the fact that they actually released extra, purchasable, downloadable content, for a game that was never actually even close to finished
Also, regarding Elise kissing Sonic, logically, wouldn't Amy proceed to beat the shit out of Elise with her hammer that she keeps in "Cartoony Pockets Land?"
***** Like Sonic leaving Elise alone in a castle. My word, that was a stupid decision. At first glance, the decision may seem sensible. If Elise were in that castle, the Eggman couldn't get to her without hurting her...but that would make things even *worse*. While Eggman can be rash sometimes, he wouldn't go and do something so incredibly stupid. Why would he try to get to Elise when he could simply force her out, which is (surprise, surprise) what he does near the end of the last story? Oh, and bonus points for Amy making the same stupid mistake in Silver's story. I've already told you how Elise's complete lack of authority in the entire game makes her a pathetic excuse of a princess, but I'm going to briefly mention it to list it as another example of Sonic 2006 stupidity.
***** Like Johnny said "Anyone can use chaos powers if they believe hard enough" So just like Elise, Amy can have an emerald charged kiss. Also what is wrong with fanservice you want to please your fans don't you.
the one thing I always ask myself is that. srsly even though I hate amy, I would still prefer that amy be the only person to love sonic, and it was just illogical for her not to fuck her up, i mean her hammer materializes out of fucking nowhere whenever she uses it so why not just knock that bitch into the endless void that they were literally right next to?
I usually don't like watching videos that are 30 minutes long or longer, but I can't help but be interested in the stuff Johnny has to say. He's comprehensive in his videos, but even though this video was over 50 minutes long, none of his commentary felt like padding to me. Everything he said had placement and importance, and I'm very impressed by that. No other in-depth reviewer can make all 50 minutes of their video worthwhile. Thumbs-up, John.
still one of your best reviews imo. rips the god awful game to shreds and no amount of nostalgia that people have for the game will change it's fundamental flaws.
Lol, meanwhile I have a 2 hour video of some gen z talking about why they like the game in my sidebar. Not even mocking gen zs, the video's title is literally "Why I like Sonic 06 from a gen z perspective" Shows that nostalgia indeed is stupidly powerful when you grew up with a game.
Not really. Johnny literally says that sonic's portion of the game is fun. Which is something you can choose to only play as. And why are you losers so worried about gen Zs liking the game? Who cares if something that was once over hated by internet shut ins like you are now finding an audience? And I'm a millennial. This game was fine back then. I remember being a freshman and getting this when I got my 360. It was fine. Beat that shit over Christmas 06.

It's a fair point to say that realism is probably not suited for something that is rooted in being unrealistic,
; IE, a super fast, blue hedgehog that defeats robots powered by little woodland creatures captured by an evil scientist that has a huge mustache and an egg-shaped body.
Craig Kuhlman Yeah, I don't mind Sonic being paired up with a human. It's how they executed it that makes it bad.
I agree too. Sonic should be around with his kind more; kind of like how the comics do it!

Why does nobody care that Elise has been abducted? Politics. That's why.
So no one did anything because they wanted to get rid of her?

I was 13 when i first watched this video. Now 24, living on my own, waiting to get married and still an avid watcher of somecallmejohnny along with being a dedicated sonic fan. Some things never change and I'm glad John hasn't either.
This video is now a decade old today. Still rewatching after all these years. Glad Johnny is still making vids for us after all this time, and I'm glad he's been getting even better over the years.
Man this "Princess" Elise has been captured more times in this game than Princess Peach has in her entire life.
Also Elise is without a doubt the WORST character in Sonic history.
*****
Then why doesn't Elise just have her own guards protect her...Actually, I think I just answered my own question.
***** Play Paper Mario, you. I love how you throw around accusations when it's clear you don't possess enough knowledge to back it up. What a moron, amirite everybody?
***** I was just having some fun. I know there is a lot of Mario games, but the Princess did try to escape in the Thousand Year Door and she was playable in the sequel. I think people should just be more considerate to Peach. Everyone is always insulting her and her character, but it is up to the writers whether or not she gets a role in the story. Anyway, you should check out Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, if you like RPGs. One of my favorites for sure.
DashieSparkle No problem. Just feel bad for Peach always getting picked on.
***** Well, I believe she gets kidnapped in that one too so you might not like it. I can't remember exactly, but I know you play as her where I think she tries to escape but can't or maybe it was to collect information. I just don't want to get your hopes up. There's always Mario 2 if you want to play as her and Super Paper Mario, but that game isn't as good as the other 2.

This game in my opinion isn’t bad and ugly. It’s just unfinished
TheSplatoonInkling very unfinished, the story isn’t really bad, except Elise.
@@elliottracer35 The problems of this game go well beyond being unfinished. A lot of the level design being ass, the story being a poorly written mess, and having way too many characters with some of them being horrendous to play as. Being unfinished is just one in a huge myriad of big issues this game has
This game at its core is terrible and objectively so. You show this game in game designing classes if you want an example of how NOT to design a game.
We did it guys. Final Fantasy 6 has dethroned Sonic 06 as Johnny’s longest video.

@@kaphizmey6229 Well some of the music is certainly relaxing.
One tiny insignificant thing I will defend about this game is that Johnny kind of misunderstood the whole deal with Shadow sealing Mephiles. It's supposed to be a stable time loop. Shadow was the one who sealed Mephiles away because he went back in time to seal Mephiles away. And he went back in time to seal Mephiles away because he went back in time to seal Mephiles away. He never actually left Prison Island during his hibernation.
So yeah, still dumb, but not quite as dumb as Johnny thought.
JageshemashFTW then that would mean the Shadow in 06 is a clone then which doesn’t make sense since they don’t explain it
@@carlbloke8797 that would not be true. Time travel in this game is portrayed like a physical travel, meaning that Shadow would be sleeping in SA2, then in S06 he would physically travel back in time, retaining everything from S06, do stuff and go back to the future. There would temporarely be two instsances of Shadow during SA2 and none (very possibly) during a brief part in S06. It's not something like Zero Escape and Steins Gate, where the concept of time travel was focused on only the consciousness being sent through time.
@@carlbloke8797 You misunderstand. It's based on a "static" idea of time and time travel. Read, the kind where the future, present and past are set in stone, _and_ you are able to go to the past and "exist twice" at the same time. ... ... ... Thiiis then of course begs the question why Sonic & crew don't get the idea to use time travel to have 700 Chaos Emeralds along with a hundred Sonics, Silvers and Shadows to annihilate the shit out of their foes, but hey.
... and of course they fucked this over _in its entirety_ by _then_ having the final cutscene of the game involving time travel which _DOES_ change the timeline, *_BUT HEY... WHATEVER..._*_ cries_
PS: Fun side note... Silver brought a blue Chaos Emerald from the future. *_THERE ARE EIGHT CHAOS EMERALDS IN THIS GAME AND THE WRITERS DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE._*
Thank you, someone finally said what I've meaning to for a while, and better too. I always honestly felt Johnny's explanation of Shadow sealing Mephiles to be, well, pretty fucking stupid, actually. Like you said, stable time loop. Its the only time I feel like the game is halfway competent in explaining time travel, but I digress.

Even 7 years later, this review holds together super well.
If a seven year old can cry from tripping and falling, stubbing their toe, taking a shot from a doctor, or getting bitten by someone, then a seven year old can sure as hell cry after losing both his or her parents at such young age, and being sheltered most of his or her life. Guess Princess Elise never gave a shit about her parents to begin with if she was able to not shed a tear *ONCE* for *TEN YEARS*. The whole "tears being essential for Iblis's release" thing just sounds fan-fictiony. Who came up with such a silly pre-requisite? Why couldn't it have been something more logical, like say, her *DEATH*?
***** But after something as tragic as losing *both* your parents and becoming an orphan? She would've cried.
***** Children?
***** BTW Cool thumbnail.
TheBlue Typhoon17 To be fair, it seems she barely knew her parents. That, and having Sonic killed right in front of her eyes made her resolve break.
chimanruler15 I never got the feeling that she barely knew her parents, especially her father. From the flashbacks, it seems that they were very close.

FF6 May have beaten its length. But it will never beat the the nostalgia and entertainment this video never fails to bring.
Things I actually liked in Sonic 06:
The prerendered cinematics are really nice to look at.
I love the design of Egg Cerberus, it's a huge robotic dog, it looks awesome.
Shadow roundhouse kicks Silver and I love it.
It introduced Silver, who is one of my favorite Sonic characters.
THE SOUNDTRACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
TheSaltyZoroark Silver is literally the most OP character in sonic (aside from shadow and sonic)
TheSaltyZoroark same!! We played this at kids,, y would we think about the plot that much??
And the glitches are hilarious.
Agreed.
Gotta agree on the Egg Cerberus. I liked the design of most mechanical things in 06. The artstyle was a weird choice but it works well for the Eggman boss mechs even if they do feel a bit generic.

wasn't beastiality, it was a kiss that was mostly censored by a beam of light. although still being highly questionable, to call it beastiality is a heavy exaggeration.
Kris Dreemurr yeah thats true, but you cant deny there are romantic undertones with sonic and Elise, its hard to miss
i know. i wasn't really a fan of all that at all. would've made sense for Amy to be the vessel to seal iblis because then the romance wouldn't be all tacky and there'd be some actual development for amy. tho that would open up some more plot holes that may need further thinking to plug.

You messed up on the Time Travelling explanation. The Shadow that was locked up never escaped. The Shadow that sealed Mesphiles was the same Shadow from the present that went to the past, thus causing a Time Loop.
A Time Loop is when a person from the present of future causes a very important event in the past that comes from time travelling, however because their influence was so important in their original time line regardless, the future/present version of that being doesn't change anything that happened, since he was the cause of it in the first, regardless of where his past self is.
So basically, Shadow 10 years ago was still frozen, the Shadow that sealed Mesphiles was the Shadow in the present. Because the Present Shadow went back to the present, and his past self was left to grow, it created a Time Loop where Shadow is always destined to go back in time and do those important things.
I was thinking the same thing
Good thinking, personaly i think something else but if what are saying is true then shadows purpose was to go back in time to seal mephilis right? well he couldnt really do that the first time i think, i mean the cycle shouldve started somewhere so the very first time this happened shadow didnt come back immediately, that happened later. And since shadow had gone back in time, wouldnt that radicly change the future? since mephilis wouldve been roaming around the first time it happened when he didnt get sealed, and then if shadow would return the second time it happened when mephilis DID get sealed, the mephilis that didnt get sealed should vanish as soon as shadow goes back to seal mephilis for the very first time.
Dennis van der Pluijm Yeah, a time loop always has to start somewhere. XD So it's possible there's a time line where Shadow never seal Mephelilis,

Sterling Muse That is so true! Just forcing a 06 fanboy to watch Clement's review is bad enough! XD
Sterling Muse but if you go into the game knowing it's bad...it's not as bad as going in blind...I think, anyway.
Woodsy the III Eh, probably depends on the person. For me, I actually enjoyed most of my first playthrough somehow, even though it was in 2010. Well, besides Silver's stupid billiard puzzle... Anyway, for someone like me, a legitimate review of a bad game often makes it less fun for me.
Been on a rewatch of all the Johnny Vs videos and I happened to start rewatching this one exactly ten years after it was first uploaded. I can't believe I was here when it was first uploaded and am back once again. Thank you so much for all the years of entertainment, Johnny. You'll always be an inspiration to me.
5 years later, and still love the opening of this video. Something about it, just makes me smile.
So blowing out the flame means she would never have met Sonic. So does that me she would have no memories of him. oh god time travel is so complicated. Back to the Future did it right
DashieSparkle cute horsey.
But yeah that what it means it is a thing on the game.
And Chrono Trigger
Yep. Not to mention BTTF's plot was easier to understand.
Arddernog Wanna know a Sonic game that did time travel right? Sonic CD.
So Theory: The Reason that Sonic 06 is in Generations despite the many issues with that is because 06 is part of a completely different timeline that got merged when the Time Eater Struck. This also explains the Secret Rings reference and Music from Non-Canon Games.
No, the actual explanation is Generations could honestly not give less of a fuck about any kind of story or interesting writing. Having 06 representation in of itself doesn't bother me at all. It's the complete lack of writing and attention to detail that Generations is. That and it's so Goddamn overrated on top of it.

Wouldn't Elise have the blue emerald during the events of all the prior games too? Or does it randomly get teleported back to her after each game?
Tine travel is bullshit.
@@zeroattentiongaming820 No. Based on the kind of time travel this game uses (... except for when they destroyed their concept by having Elise and Sonic be able to change the past by blowing out baby Solaris), you could go to the past and meet yourself. And Silver brought that blue Chaos Emerald from the future to the present, in addition to the blue Chaos Emerald that was already in the present.
*_YES. That's right. This game has eight Chaos Emeralds and the writers didn't even notice._*
@@AniGaAG Its got more than 8. Sonic and Shadow find 2 Emeralds in the _fucking_ *future* and bring them back to the present, where those same Emeralds past equivalents are around...somewhere. Fucking Christ this story sometimes.
I've actually thought of something similar to that. Imagine you have a gold bar. You go to the future to get another one. Then, you go back in time with the gold bar from the future. There would be two bars, but after a while, the original will go away because the you from the past comes back to pick it up. You cannot create matter. That is the rule.
And the one enjoyable part I found in the entire game was when Shadow kicked Silver in the head. I still go back to this game because I can tell myself "Just wade through it and you'll get to the best part Meli, just suck it up."
how long does it take to get there?
ITS BADASS and that sound effect is cool
That's retarded, just look up the cutscene.
There was a time when I was little and wasn't allowed on youtube. That was that time

One of my favorite memories is seeing an abusive horse owner get kicked in the face and go into agonal breathing (we gave him cpr and he lived). That probably makes me a bad person, but, hey! The world needs a few of us. And that shit was hilarious.
Without a doubt my favorite video you've ever done. This is timeless.
I always come back to this review. It's one of his best.
True. This may be the worst Sonic game, but to me, it's got the best soundtrack. The rest of the game needed to be as good as the soundtrack. But, I guess that would've taken an entire overhaul, according to another commentor. But, THIS is the best part of the Sonic Marathon, Johnny's reviews.
Here's the thing...
Boom is a spin off.. not a main entry sonic game.
Sonic 06 IS a main title... a game to celebrate the 15TH ANNIVERSERY OF SONIC THE FUCKING HEDGEHOG!!
And that's what made 06 bad. It was to celebrate 15 years of this franchise.
+Kuma Gamer the 15th anniversary was just not good for Sonic, when your "best" games in 2006 are racing games, that's when you need to rethink your life choices.
Nether let's plays what I can't understand is that people actually want 06 remade. Like, really?
+Kuma Gamer it's based on the fact that it COULD'VE been better, and yeah, I agree it could have; but nothing can change that, it is what it is.. and what it is, is a piece of shit.
You... do realize that plot got completely reset, right? So um... is that even canon, then?
The review that made me subscribe to Johnny's channel. It's also probably my favourite review he's ever done.
Coupled with this and The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, these are some of the best, unbiased, and very accurate reviews of games I believe people either over exaggerate or completely overlook
+mach6247 He's looking from both sides and looking at the games from the easiest way possible, the average Joe mentality. His way of reviewing isn't for diehard fans despite that possibly some of his fans may be, it's made for people as if they're watching these videos for the first time, so for the most part, he's keeping a subdued attitude with a few exceptions like this game and Super Mario Sunshine.
+mach6247 So true. He is downright one of the best game reviewers I have seen on RUclips

47:39 "Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom in order to see that something is terribly wrong."
That line helps me out a lot, thank you.
you wanna know my favorite part about this entire game? when you reach the credits in sonic generations and it reaches sonic 06 and it gets to the mach speed section, you can see the lives counter go down and then go back up, likely meaning that the player got a gameover!
I remember being so hyped to play this as a kid. I went on fansites every day after school just to see if any new information had been released, listening to the soundtrack, and watching the game trailers over and over again. Lo and behold, on Christmas Day 2008, I received my white 360, Sonic '06, and Sonic Unleashed. Eager to play the game I'd been frothing at the mouth to experience for two whole years, I booted up Sonic '06... and it was one of the worst experiences of my short life. Fortunately for me, I found Sonic Unleashed to be quite good, and I had a ton of fun with it. I'm very thankful my father decided to get both games, otherwise that Christmas would have been nearly ruined.
I'm glad you enjoyed Unleashed :)
Sonic '06 was the first sonic game i ever played, as well as the first game i ever played on the ps3. i personally really enjoyed it, despite its flaws. when i was a small child, i didn't really understand how everything works and thought the glitches were just part of the difficulty, and i also really thought all the story elements were cool. even to this day, seeing all the criticisms people have of this game, how much people hate it, i still feel that slight bit of hype when reaching certain moments in the game, such as mephiles's release, his battles, the final battle with eggman, the final battle with iblis and the last episode. except for the kiss. that's the one part i can say i genuinely hated about the game. and the mach speed section in crisis city hard mode. trying to get an S on that was hell.

2.Keep the original OST and maybe add some new ones
3.Change the story a little bit to make it more fluent
4.Don't rush the creation of this game
5.Release it for ALL systems

0:00 - The Story
24:12 - The Gameplay
I like the fact that the story almost took half of this 50 minute video.
@@rexmageuser Bro, all I'm going to say is watch his MGS2 review. 30+ min just for the story. Beautiful.
2017 we still talk about this game
2099 still talking about this game
mankey .D lucky 2018 still talking about this game
Kleenex, man.
21:00 "I don't care what happens to the world!"
SGB on his Let's Play: "You crazy bitch!"
39:52 is the best scene
@William Marshall HEUGH
To this day I just cannot get over the fact that they actually released extra, purchasable, downloadable content, for a game that was never actually even close to finished
Also, regarding Elise kissing Sonic, logically, wouldn't Amy proceed to beat the shit out of Elise with her hammer that she keeps in "Cartoony Pockets Land?"
Well, it was the only thing to do, so Amy allowed it.
***** Like Sonic leaving Elise alone in a castle. My word, that was a stupid decision.
At first glance, the decision may seem sensible. If Elise were in that castle, the Eggman couldn't get to her without hurting her...but that would make things even *worse*. While Eggman can be rash sometimes, he wouldn't go and do something so incredibly stupid. Why would he try to get to Elise when he could simply force her out, which is (surprise, surprise) what he does near the end of the last story?
Oh, and bonus points for Amy making the same stupid mistake in Silver's story.
I've already told you how Elise's complete lack of authority in the entire game makes her a pathetic excuse of a princess, but I'm going to briefly mention it to list it as another example of Sonic 2006 stupidity.
*****
Amy can kiss him instead.
***** Like Johnny said "Anyone can use chaos powers if they believe hard enough" So just like Elise, Amy can have an emerald charged kiss. Also what is wrong with fanservice you want to please your fans don't you.
the one thing I always ask myself is that. srsly even though I hate amy, I would still prefer that amy be the only person to love sonic, and it was just illogical for her not to fuck her up, i mean her hammer materializes out of fucking nowhere whenever she uses it so why not just knock that bitch into the endless void that they were literally right next to?
this video still enjoyable in 2016
Long time no see.
Long time no see
Long time no see. (ᵔ ͜ʖᵔ)
Of course it is! This is Johnny we're talking about!
2017*
Sega: what if we took Sonic fanfics, and made a game around them?
Doctor4077 that's an insult to sonic fanfics
Nah that's sonic forces
@@infinite5377
No, 06 is more stereotypical fanfiction.
gameman5804 Sonic Forces has The Avatar which is something you would see in a fanfics and deviantart
@@adamrabi8490
And 06 Has a self insert human OC that is a Sonic hog. Also prominent in stereotypical fan fiction.
Sorry. :)
Years later and video is still a masterpiece
Still an absolute banger.... lord do I feel old tho
33:16 How is Blaze running like that? And more importantly, how can I run like that?
christopher brown It’s like Naruto Running only hands act like wind sails or something.
This review has quite possibly the best intro to any review. He knows what this review entails and the simple preparations for it are just perfect.
Princess Elise is the biggest tool in video game history.
+Loida Perez She sure is, a tool to do nothing more than move the plot along and keep Sonic from actually doing anything important in the story. :v
I feel sorry for Lacey Chabert. She took part in her favorite video game series in a way she DID NOT expect
Hehe, yeah. I mean, her character gets into more trouble than Bella Swan.
+Loida Perez you know, right next to princess peach
+The worms inside of the dirt Not even Peach gets kidnapped in the same game *5 times in a row.* At least Peach has *some* experience.
Who's here After Johnny's Final Fantasy VI review has final taken the thrown for his longest vs video after 9 years?
This video has 2 million views, I'm so happy for John!
Atleast it's more entertaining than Sonic Boom.
+TopHatLucario For the wrong reasons.
+TheBlue Typhoon17 Not just for the wrong reasons. The music ALONE makes 06 better than Boom.
Boretobrine OS Agreed.
+TopHatLucario eh i still found sonic 06 more entertaining game than sa2
mywlan2 I quite liked the speed stages in SA2.
I usually don't like watching videos that are 30 minutes long or longer, but I can't help but be interested in the stuff Johnny has to say. He's comprehensive in his videos, but even though this video was over 50 minutes long, none of his commentary felt like padding to me. Everything he said had placement and importance, and I'm very impressed by that. No other in-depth reviewer can make all 50 minutes of their video worthwhile. Thumbs-up, John.
2012 really feels like yesterday

Sonic was such an easy game to play
Now it looks like Iizuka’s here to stay
still one of your best reviews imo. rips the god awful game to shreds and no amount of nostalgia that people have for the game will change it's fundamental flaws.
Lol, meanwhile I have a 2 hour video of some gen z talking about why they like the game in my sidebar.
Not even mocking gen zs, the video's title is literally "Why I like Sonic 06 from a gen z perspective"
Shows that nostalgia indeed is stupidly powerful when you grew up with a game.
@@youtube-kit9450 J's Reviews
Not really. Johnny literally says that sonic's portion of the game is fun. Which is something you can choose to only play as. And why are you losers so worried about gen Zs liking the game? Who cares if something that was once over hated by internet shut ins like you are now finding an audience? And I'm a millennial. This game was fine back then. I remember being a freshman and getting this when I got my 360. It was fine. Beat that shit over Christmas 06.
@@youtube-kit9450I mean that video is just as amazing
@@mania4270 1/3 of the game being good and 2/3 being bad does not equal "It was fine"
Also, what do you mean "over hated"? Some things are just bad... if people dislike them, well that's only logical
I guess, Sonic Boom is like Sonic '06 ||
Geez, Sonic '06s story is so overcomplicated that the developpers didn't even understand it themselves.
***** Don't forget there's a lot of unfunny ones.
***** Great, so there's absolutely no fun reason to play Sonic BOOMED.
***** Hey, at least you can move fast in '06.
I'd take 06 over Boom any day. I'd rather play a (somewhat) entertainingly glitchy game than a boring one.
I no
Is new Sonic
