If you want to play a good version of Sonic 06, play the Legacy of Solaris hack. That thing fixes this game gameplay wise like woah; Sonic moves faster, more buttons to do things, you can get some equipment faster, drop dash, you can chain the spindash with a jump, etc.

Good news: Sonic 06 is being recompiled for PC, Mac, and Linux. It's a work in progress so no release yet.
Bad news: Our modern PC's are too powerful for us to experience the infamous loading times and shoddy performance of the original game.

I blame both @georgeypoorgey and my discovery that Playstation 3 emulation actually works quite decently compared to 360. Here we go I guess...

Will you look at that? I just found it this small print on my Sonic marathon rules that says I can actually just skip this game forever! That's totally allowed!

Alas, as much as I wanted to not skip anything on my Sonic marathon, the fact that this game is ridiculously expensive even second hand and I refuse to play any amount of money for something this broken is making things really difficult.
I was trying my luck at emulating it, but the results are being...

Currently it does seem the only option is to watch the cutscenes on Youtube so I at least know the story, and then go back to this game someday once I can play it in a semi-functional way. I mean, I'm pretty sure the rules allow that. You know, since I kinda made up the rules and they only exist in my head.

I'm strangely fond of this one, despite being an utterly unfinished and broken game. It's ambitious and bombastic in a way that Sonic wouldn't reach again until Frontiers.

The plot suffers from tonal inconsistency and bad translation, but I actually enjoyed a lot of the cutscenes. Before I played the game I was expecting the romance with Elise to be a subtle subtext... and it is not, at all. Yet despite being a bizarre creative decision, by the end of the game I actually liked them together. It's cute. Misguided but cute. And the CGI is decent for 2006.

As a child, this was fun. Probably doesn't hold up as an adult.

I think that there should be more games that look like they were animated in Garry's Mod.

'Experienced' the story as I have no means to play the original version
Final thoughts: Wow this game is a juxtaposition of high HIGHS and low LOWS. No need for me to talk about the bugs and level designs as that's the biggest flaw already pointed out. Even in Sonic P06, snowboarding physics still suck.
Pros: The MUSIC. The CGI used for the opening / endings. Shadow's story is well written without being over the top. Silver is interesting. Multiple story viewpoints. Eggman actually FEELS evil without any of the comedy. Multiple playstyles that DON'T destroy the game flow like Sonic Adventure 2.
Cons: The inconsistent art direction where humans look too uncanny human and Sonic characters look... the same. Humans in Sonic universe can work if done right, like the stylized people designs in Unleashed. They just don't fit in my eyes together in this game, especially when you factor that infamous kiss. I generally felt the worldbuilding felt more like a Final Fantasy XIII/XV title than a Sonic title. Also, the checkout system in this game is terrible especially with the hard speed sections that often burned all your lives.
My time looking at this game has been rather entertaining seeing both the ambitious ideas and the disastrous execution, and I'd rate my experience a 3/5 stars.
Fuck this fight fuck this fight fuck this fight fuck this fight fuck this fight.
