    Let's not pretend this is another Sonic '06, because at least this thing is playable. Clearly it's not a good game, but it's not a fucking Sonic 2006. If Sonic Boom is like falling and breaking your leg at the entrance to DisneyLand, then Sonic 2006 is falling and breaking your leg at the entrance to DisneyLand AND blinding yourself permanently with freshly-coiled dog shit at the same time.

    I've not played it myself, but I've been watching playthroughs on YouTube, and though it's a buggy game, Boom is complete-able without a huge amount of effort.

    Now, I remember playing Sonic 2006, and I remember tripping over a rock on Wave Ocean and getting killed tonnes. I remember getting fucked by Silver, and by sliding off the world constantly in to the abyss. I remember the crap lifeless over world, and the horrendous loading times. I remember the disjointed storyline with embarrassing love scenes, terrible animation and voicing, and the unusual level designs bearing little likeness to anything Sonic-related beforehand.

    I remember.


    Here's where I'm willing to argue that Sonic 06 actually did have some moments of genuine intrigue to them. Not moments that stopped the game from being a travesty but still telltale signs of a game that actually had promise to it at some point.

    A lot of people conceding Sonic Boom as a lesser title are well justified but I don't think that truly matters because there's a difference between being a bad game and being an offensive one. Sonic Boom is just a shitty tie-in spin-off that isn't reaching out to an audience any different than the one the new Pac-Man cartoons are. Sonic 06 tried to reinvent the entire franchise for a new generation, was the series' big 15th anniversary bang and was so proud of itself that it chose a title that in the company's eyes made it comparable to the original classic. Sonic 06 was the straw that broke the camel's back after years of dubious direction involved in the Sonic series.

    In the grand scheme of things, even though people can make a good argument for why Sonic Boom is an arguably worse game than 06, no one's really going to care about the Sonic Boom games that much to label it anything more than a severe misfire. Sonic 06 was something that aimed to achieve something greater in the face of irrelevancy and crashed and burned the most inglorious way possible.

    The irony of this all is that Sonic Boom was made to bring in new fans to the series. If this returns even lower numbers than Sonic Lost World, then...

    Justice has been served. No one should buy "The Room" the game.


    Being compared to The Room requires it to be an instant classic.

    Also there already exists a game of The Room and it is amazing.

    Maybe one day in the distant future we'll find the missing final release that never made it to the public's eye. We're beta testers guys, a piece of sanic history!


    As soon as we dig out the skeleton of Sonic 06 from our closets.

    My pal @SpiritOfBlues found this glitch in #SonicBoom that makes the graphics so much better. Why is this a glitch?

    HOW CAN YOU FUCK UP SO BADLY THAT PEOPLE CAN IMPROVE THE GRAPHICS BY A GLITCH


    Starting to feel like I have to play the game out of morbid curiosity though I might just hold hope for this to get patched in.
