Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 Returns To Xbox Store

Out of nowhere, Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 is back on the Xbox Store - but only if you've got a working Xbox 360.

Unpopular opinion: Sonic 2006 deserves a Director's Cut.

An even more unpopular opinion........its not as bad as people say it is. Its got many issues and deserves the criticism, but I expected much worse from a game on the worst of all time list.

The music was outstanding, the artistic design of the world was excellent. It was simply rushed a year before it should have come out. Poor framerate, too many glitches, no optimization, what a shame. Sure it wouldn't have been masterpiece, but if it had an extra year it would have been at the minimum an average game.

The worst part is, during the era of hard drives and game patches, SEGA didn't bother to patch the game, and the later released PS3 version didn't see any improvements even though they easily could have gone back and improved every aspect of the game if they wanted to. It shows you how much apathy, greed, ignorance, and disrespect SEGA executives have for their fanbase.

I'd agree the original vision was great but Sega being Sega refused to allow for further delays the team requested given the complexity of the new HD consoles and basically launched the game as a buggy mess they ironically patched many of the bugs in one version of the game but not the other I believe it was PS3 that received the fixes but not 360 although I may be mistaken.

Even more ironically the launched the x360 demo with the fixes in place and removed said fixes from the final disc version
