Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 game) |
---|
System(s): Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 |
Publisher: Sega |
Developer: Sonic Team |
Genre: 3D Platformer |
Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 that was made to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. It was developed by the Sonic Team and directed by Shun Nakamura.
The game shares its name with two earlier video games, a manga, a television series, a comic book series and, of course, Sonic the Hedgehog himself. To disambiguate, the game has been called by a number of different aliases, including Sonic 2006, Sonic '06, Sonic 360 (even though it was not exclusive to the Xbox 360) and Sonic Next-Gen. Xbox Live and the PlayStation 3 XMB refer to it in all-caps as SONIC THE HEDGEHOG.
This is the second Sonic the Hedgehog game to get an E10+ rating by the ESRB, the first being Shadow the Hedgehog. Other content rating organizations agreed with similar ratings. The PEGI rating is 12+, while the CERO rating is A.
This game marks the first appearance of Silver the Hedgehog in the series. Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog are also playable characters. Tails, Knuckles, Amy Rose, Rouge, E-123 Omega, and Blaze the Cat make return appearances and are playable during short segments of the game. For this game Dr. Robotnik was given a drastic redesign, giving him a more realistic appearance. This redesign was not reused in any later games.
When released the game received criticism for its numerous bugs and unfinished features which were hinted at during development. It was also criticized for its flawed controls and excessive load times.

Gameplay
The objective of the game is to complete all of the levels and face ultimately fight a boss in one of the final levels, which is unique to each character. Ultimately, all characters face off with Solaris, the Sun God of Soleanna, in the Last Story segment.
Each character has moves or attributes which make them unique to one another, such as Sonic's ability to perform the bounce attack.
Single player
Although each character plays the same levels, each character's unique abilities allow him or her to get to different areas of each stage, and deny them from accessing certain items.
Gameplay is broken up into two gameplay fields, similar to Sonic Adventure. Action Stages are where the bulk of the gameplay takes place, whereas Town Stages are free-roaming locations where the player can talk to non-playable characters and explore, as in Sonic Adventure's Adventure Fields. For each of the action stages in the respective stories, gold medals are obtainable by achieving high ranks in these stages.
There are a total of eleven stages. A ranking system exists for each of the levels and town missions, providing ranks calculated from score, rings and time remaining. The highest rank is S Rank, followed by A Rank, down to the lowest, D. Gold medals are obtainable by achieving high ranks in these stages.
Multiplayer
Sonic the Hedgehog features two styles of multiplayer game play that offer two player action.
The first mode, Tag Mode, is a co-op type of play between Sonic, Silver and Shadow. Two players, each one controlling a character, must work together to clear levels and collect Chaos Emeralds. In this mode, lives are shared. The second multi-player game mode available is Battle Mode. Battle mode pits two players against each other and has them race to a goal in the selected level.
The previously rumored mini-games that were to allow up to four players to play simultaneously/alternately (Quiz, Race and a few others) seem to be missing in the final release of the game.[1] There is no online multiplayer capabilities even though the back of the game case describes the game as online capable. The only use for the mention on the case is the games use of downloadable content.
Characters
There are three fully playable characters, which are progressively unlocked by playing each character's story in the game. Only Sonic is available initially, Shadow and Silver must be unlocked. In addition, the player may control partners for some sections of a level, aiding him with their unique abilities.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic's mission is to go to Soleanna to rescue Princess Elise and prevent Doctor Eggman from unleashing the power of the Flames of Disaster. Sonic's story has high-speed, Sonic Adventure-style gameplay. Sonic's allies are Tails, who can use his two tails to fly to higher areas, and Knuckles, to climb to areas and glide through the air. A story ark allows Sonic to turn Super, and to share the powers with others.
- Shadow the Hedgehog: Shadow is a G.U.N. agent and is assigned to rescue another G.U.N. agent, Rouge the Bat and retrieve the mysterious Scepter of Darkness. Shadow uses vehicles, chaos powers, and variations of the homing attack to progress through the game. Shadow's allies are Rouge the Bat, a jewel thief and government spy who, like Knuckles, can glide through the air and climb; and E-123 Omega, who can hover and shoot rapid-fire.
- Silver the Hedgehog: Silver is a time traveler from the future that traveled to the present. He comes to save his home world and stop the mysterious Iblis Trigger. Silver's gameplay involves the use of telekinetic powers to pick up objects and throw them at enemies as well as levitate in the air for differing amounts of time, depending on the energy bar. Silver's allies are Blaze the Cat, a princess from another world, with the power to control fire; and Amy Rose, who can double-jump, use her Piko Piko Hammer, and turn invisible.
Downloadable Content
Several downloadable extensions have been released that add features to single-player gameplay in the Xbox 360 version. These include Very Hard mode, a more difficult version of the game; Boss Attack modes, which allow a playable character to engage in continuous battles with all of the game's bosses; and Team Attack Amigo mode, which allows players to play through the entirety of the game as Sonics friends (Amigos), Tails, Blaze the Cat, and E-123 Omega.[2] There is also a picture pack for Dr. Eggman, Soleanna, and Sonic.
The only addon for the Playstation 3 version is the Very Hard mode for all 3 characters.
