Sonic the Hedgehog (2006, 360) playthrough – Part 1: Sonic the Hedgehog Episode
Part 1 of my first playthrough series of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) on Xbox 360. This video contains the entire length of the Sonic the Hedgehog episode. No audio commentary. Full and uncut to give a feeling of a live experience. The videos in this series are like a longplay, but not in one single video. The series is done in separate parts because a single video would be too long/large for me, and YouTube limits the features of videos after a certain length.
Thanks to my friend Groudon199 for letting me borrow his Xbox 360 and some games; because of that, I finally got to play Sonic 06. My focus here was to play through the entire game and beat it while exploring as much of the game as possible. I take my time and try to collect a lot of the game’s collectibles, see how the game functions, complete missions, get S Ranks, etc. As a result, this video is over 7 hours long. I’ve written the timestamps for important parts of the video down (start of stages/missions/etc.) which you can use as a viewing guide, although you will miss a lot of interesting content by solely using the timestamps to navigate through the video.
I game overed often, so the timestamps will begin at the final successful completion attempt of each stage/mission (meaning that after that point, I don’t go back to re-do anything I had already completed). I had to re-do some completed parts of this episode because I game overed without saving before a stage/mission/etc. began, so I lost progress then. This video is long due to me learning how the game works and making many mistakes. I should play better in the upcoming playthrough parts for this game.
My thoughts about this game through Part 1: I like this game! For many years I’ve heard of this game being called “the worst Sonic game” and news that it was a very bad game in general, but as of now I don’t think that Sonic 06 is anywhere near the levels of failure it has been said to represent. I already encountered some annoying parts of the game in this part of my playthrough (where I felt the annoyances were entirely due to the game’s design), but for me these instances were minimal. A lot of my failure and frustration so far has come from me not being good at the game, and I definitely feel that a lot of the game’s control scheme can be handled well with practice. One notable problem that I found to be present in many areas (which wasn’t an issue that made the game harder for me or unfair) was the frame rate constantly falling to low levels. This is a clear internal aspect of the game, which makes it more annoying to play, but thankfully it isn’t too prevalent.
