I haven't been here in a long time, but I've been getting back into Sonic a bit recently and I have a question. Two games I've never played are Sonic 06 and Sonic Unleashed. I definitely remember all the dislike for 06, but would it be worth trying anyway? How about Unleashed?

Sonic 06 on consoles is bad so no I don't think it's worth checking out. But someone by the name of ChaosX is working on a PC port (via Unity) and it is some real impressive stuff from what they've shown of it. It also controls MUCH better and brings out how fun Sonic's levels can be underneath the jank. They post development on Twitter and there's even a demo: https://twitter.com/ChaosX2006
Unleashed is a mixed bag. I love it but it has a lot of things that weigh it down and hold back its accessibility for most people who play it. It's definitely worth a play to see what you think of it though.

Despite almost being in what could be considered romantic love with Unleashed, I recognize that some of what it does may not be for everyone. It's one of the few Sonic games that feels like the world you inhabit and explore doubles as a character in and of itself. After 12 years it feels like there won't be a game coming out that does it quite like that game did. You can tell so much about a location from not only it's people but it's souveniers and all the different food. It's great.
It's also, to this day, the most beautiful a Sonic game has ever been in my opinion. I was pretty disappointed when I played Generations and it didn't look like Unleashed like I expected it to at the time. I understand why it didn't a little more now that I'm older but the disappointment still lingers.
The werehog and your enjoyment varies depending on your tolerance of its gameplay. It's not broken or anything. It's just fairly simple and doesn't demand too much from the moves you acquire. Also the stages can outstay their welcome if you're not like me and don't use the runtime as an excuse to explore and admire the environment. I understand not everyone cares about that to the insane degree I do though. Medal collecting can block your way and force exploration to happen at times too. It can get egregious if you're not careful.
Daytime stages is basically Generations Modern Sonic only it feels a bit faster and slightly more dangerous.
As for Sonic 06, years ago I would have said check it out as a morbid curiosity thing, but nowadays whenever I try to return to it, I get a stage (or even less than that) in and get extremely bored of it and turn it off. The awfulness of that game has been so thoroughly explored by this point and playing as the characters isn't any fun. Once you know what you're going to get, inside and out, for me at least, the game is just soul crushingly boring. Plus, it's tough to look at. -

Gone back to the name I originally had when I signed up, which was TwoTailedFox. (I was Agent 82 for awhile, but I just changed my name now).

I've never played a PS2 game that used the select button. What is the point of it? Were there any games that used it?

Been playing Scooby Doo: Night of 100 Frights recently. I forgot how good that game was
