Oh Sonic... here we go again...

[Vipershark]

the problem with heroes, shadow, and sonic 06 (aside from the sonic friends and voice acting) was the controls and glitches

I totally gave up on heroes and only beat shadow once. (Still working on sonic 06)
The problem is, (with the exception of maybe shadow) all three games had great core ideas, especially heroes

but the terrible gameplay and bugs totally ruined the experience for all three
I honestly wish sonic 06 had a PC port so that modders could fix all the shit that was wrong with it. It could have been a seriously great game.
