Only he and his friend Blaze the Cat remain in opposition to Iblis and his evil ways. The fires of the dark creature Iblis have engulfed everything for as long as he can remember. Thousands of years into the future, a young but desperate hedgehog named Silver views the flames devouring his homeland. Worse than that, the two look exactly alike, and the evil character even appears to know Shadow from somewhere in his past… When Eggman cuts off the two escapees’ retreat and the scepter is accidentally shattered, Shadow is introduced to a villain out of his worst nightmares. After a cutting-it-too-close-for-comfort battle, Shadow and Rouge get away with the item they were sent to retrieve–a mysterious scepter of ancient power. Sonic is determined to save her at any cost.Įlsewhere, Shadow the Hedgehog is deployed as a government GUN agent to rescue Rouge the Bat from Eggman’s base. Why Eggman is after this girl remains a mystery, but no matter. Sonic makes a valiant effort, but in the end can’t save Elise from Eggman’s grasp and she is kidnapped. Before anyone can act, a blue blur blasts into the robot army, saving the moment and taking off with the princess. Instantly, robots cover the area, terrified citizens scream, and the doctor himself descends from the air and demands the Chaos Emerald be given to him by the hands of its protector–Elise, princess of Soleanna. All seems to be going according to plan… until Dr. Soleanna, the beautiful city of water, is in the middle of its yearly Sun Festival. But has the media merely over-exaggerated its claims? If not, why is this game doomed to such failure? Storyline There was little positive, it seemed, to say about the game that was supposed to be the most memorable in Sonic history. Glorious, jaw-dropping graphics, an action-packed scene in which Sonic blasts through robots, an epic storyline involving an all new hedgehog character, three different playable characters each with their own special controls, a giant celebration of Sonic’s 15th anniversary…Īnd it failed, so said the fan community.Īs soon as Sonic the Hedgehog was released, the internet was barraged with negative reviews. Release date: Novem(Xbox 360) January 30, 2007 Box 91, Chicago, IL, 60612.Platform(s): Xbox 360 (reviewed), Playstation 3 Will you be picking up Sonic ’06? Send your answers to SEGAbits, P.O. Now that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (the movie) is available digitally, and Shadow the Hedgehog makes his mid-credits debut in the movie, SEGA sees an opportunity to make money off of casual fans looking to reconnect with the series.Ī spike in sales followed the release of the first film in 2000, and given Shadow has so few games available outside of Sonic Adventure 2 and appearances in Sonic Forces, 2006’s Sonic the Hedgehog is actually one of Shadow’s biggest games that you can buy digitally… albeit on a console two generations old. However, I think I know why the game has made a sudden return… That’s right, 2006’s Sonic the Hedgehog is back up for sale digitally on Xbox 360! Selling for only $4.99, the game has returned following a mass delisting of Sonic games with low critic scores several years back. Following last week’s delisting of Sonic the Hedgehog SEGA Genesis, Mega Drive and SEGA CD games from digital marketplaces, in an effort to declutter online shops and give more value to Sonic Origins, another Sonic the Hedgehog has returned!
