Definitely Baroque... That is the only game after 3 hours of play where i just stared at the screen in awe, took the disc out, and stomped the yard with that shit,=. I then took it to game stop, where the clerk looked at the giant foot print on the disc, and just shrugged as she gave my money back. A close second is Brink... I waited 2 years for that atrocity.... traded it within 3 days of purchase.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2006.
Its probably not even the worst game in my possession. Or the worst game I have played. But what it did to me was the worst thing: It ruined the hype I had for Sonic. Ever since then I have been more and more "wait and see" and less excited.
I'll explain. As a kid I loved Sonic. Teenage mutant ninja turtles? Fuck off, its not Sonic. Power Rangers. Fuck off, its not Sonic. Batman... Actually Batman was always awesome in my mind. But of course over the years the games got a bit worse and less fun to play. I mean... I still liked them and I was a bit blind to them. Hell, I even liked Shadow.
But Sonic 2006. Man... man... To me... if it ain't official. Its Ok. No matter what I see on the internet with Sonic. Its ok because its not Sega. Same rule with everything else. It doesn't matter that there is a pic of Sonic shitting on Robotnik's spunking cock while he pisses on Tails's face. It's not drawn by Sega. Its ok.
What this game is though, is when a developer has no idea of what made Sonic good, mixed with the worst fan fiction in the world, mixed with the worst game mechanics, mixed with actually kinda ok level design, mixed with the least amount of QA possible.
I mean a good portion of you know about the game and THAT scene. If you dont let me explain. Sonic is now in the real world. With shitty shadows and NPC models. Hell if they literally ripped the models out of Shenmue it would look better. You've got a realistic looking Robotnik (Who I actually kinda like the look of its weird) and a human princess. The princess actually becomes a love interest for Sonic.
Yes. That's right. At one point she says that she doesn't care about the world if it doesn't have him to Sonic. Now Sonic isn't a human that turns into Sonic. He is Sonic. A taller Sonic, yes. But Sonic none the less. And let me reiterate. She is a human princess. Now you could say "aww its a fairy tale." Yes. But the world is so bland and poorly rendered that you take this as a representation of the real world.
If the game was stylised just a bit or god forbid maybe I dont know, Maybe the princess was another new furry fuck character for the bloated Sonic series to absorb it wouldn't be so bad. But no. She isn't even cute. In game she reminds me of Jimmy Carr for some reason.
Now time travel, cars and demons happen and we end up with Sonic and Elise (The princess) walking in a field and Sonic is killed to death (Annoyingly they dont have rings spill out of him or play the der-doomb sound from the mega drive games) by the devil. The end of the world happens because inside Elise is another demon that will only be released when she cries. NOW... I'm not a master of these things but I do understand that ladies tend to get quite emotional at a certain time of the month. But I digress. She senses Sonic's soul flying about and its up to Team Amigo characters to gather the chaos emeralds, so she can wish for his resurrection.
She does this with a kiss.
Process this as a man child watching this in horror. A realistic(-ish) human princess is kissing a dead Sonic. With all of his nearest and dearest friends standing around. I dont think I "ship" characters but I would at least want Amy to do that sort of thing. Failing that: Shadow. But no.
And Sonic comes back to life. And the entire story is undone by some more time travelling BS.
So yeah, ignoring the story as well. The game is just horrid to play.
I've ranted too much now. I maintain that Sonic Unleashed is ok, Sonic Colours is all right a bit too Mario-ry, Sonic Generations is amazing and probably overrhyped now and Sonic Lost World is Mario. A boring Mario. Its not even bad. Its boring. Everything functions nicely. But its boring. Its coming after Sonic Generations which had pure hype. CHEMICAL PLANT! FUCK YEAH.
Never try Sonic 2006. Also for the same reasons I dislike Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
