Normally I'd try to pretend I don't love this game or make an attempt to be objective, but I'm in the mood to be way too honest and not care what rational people think.

First off, Sonic 2006 is just furry Chrono Trigger and I love that.

Mephiles is one of my favorite characters of all time. The entire concept of "Mephiles is the dark version of Shadow who was the dark version of Sonic" is just so... so wonderful. Like, I have a massive bias in favor of the ole 'like main character but darker' archetype & applying that someone who was already that achetype creates something that basically could not appeal to me more than it does. A fragment of a God manifesting as a crystalline hedgehog of darkness? I love this.

Honestly, Shadow's portion of the game is probably one of my favorite sections of any game ever. Unfortunately, Sonic's section drags things down considerably. And Silver... exists, I at least like the concept of what they were going for, even if they kinda botch almost everything about it.

Sonic's Story: 3.5
Shadow's Story: 10
Silver's Story: ...Probably around a 6, if I'm being honest about how I feel towards it.

Which I'm going to say works out to "close enough to a 7". Objectively, I should average the final score to 6.5, but I'm not going to.

...of course the gameplay itself is terrible (especially Sonic's sections), but thankfully I don't have to factor gameplay into any of this.
