Seriously why. Sonic and the Black Knight was the last one and it was also the last time you could beat the final boss to a kickaas buttrock theme song. Why don't we have this anymore?

Sonic 2006 had some good ideas. It was just rushed. If they gave more time to polish it, it would probably be a lot more fondly remembered.

    Nowadays there's an entire subsection of the fanbase committed to the defense of Sonic 2006 and insisting that the media was unfair to it, which I mean I do understand the fondness for it. I'd play it over Colours, Forces or honestly even Generations most times.

    It has the genuine feel of early 3D Sonic. Like it's stupid as hell and seems completely unaware of its own stupidity, and that has quite a bit more charm than the "we're just cartoons, no need to take us seriously" feel of later Sonic.
