Sonic 06 is Better Than Colors (Conclusion)

06 is not a perfect game. It has flaws in it's story, it's gameplay is a struggle, and in total, it's a case of what "could have" been. Colors, though, is a complete nightmare. It's a story weaker than Infinite (heh-heh, Sonic humor). Whatever "serious" means, think the opposite. The game ruined lovable characters and added useless ones. Meanwhile the pathetic wisps corrupted the levels, making every repetitive act a tiresome chore.

The truth is, Sonic 06 is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Many people say "it's terrible" and that it's "the worst," but it's hard to comprehend these claims. If you don't like it because Silver glitched you onto a roof or held you in a never-ending "it's no use" cycle, I understand that.

Yet people don't explain their thoughts. Even when they list a reason, they don't elaborate why it bothers them. Like when someone says, "I don't like 06 because of Elise," is it because she's a human? Or was it because she was a damsel in distress? Or do they think romance slows the plot?

I hope that my posts help explain why I enjoyed Sonic 06 but had a tough time understanding why people like Colors. Really the only part of Colors I find salvageable is trying to strengthen the Sonic-Tails bond, but it really doesn't compare (AoStH had the best Sonic & Tails "brother" relationship).

I stared this "mini series" because my post "Top Ten Reasons Sonic 06 is Better than Colors" became too long by the second reason: I wanted to get my point across.

Full list (1 is least important-10 is most): 

Recently tried to censor swear words a bit, correct errors, and fix the links in Part 5 (the "Brawl" YT channel had been removed so half the songs were gone). 

Part 1--The Main Screen/menu/Level Navigation/GAME OVER
Part 2--The CG, graphics, and level design
Part 3--The Controls
Part 4--The Level Ups/Power Ups/Upgrades
Part 5.3 (Colors), Part 5.6 (06), Part 5.9 (Conclusion) --The Music
Part 6--The Characters
Part 7--The Conflict/Villains/etc
Part 8--Sonic
Part 9--The Voice Acting
Part 10--The Plot

Maybe since I never knew the whole "Sonic Next Gen" hype and assumed 06 would be the "worst" game, I was able to see the fun in it. But Colors gets so much attention and praise for being at best a just-below-average Wii game.

It's ridiculous how much anger is directed at a 10+ year-old game (2006), but it's even more ridiculous to see Sega bragging "Sonic Team: the Creators of Sonic Generations and Sonic Colors!" To this day, that (2010) game is still given credit and respect when it did nothing to deserve it in the first place. [END] 

oh well.
