Imagine a world where Sonic 06's quality is reversed where it is one of the best Sonic games with story, gameplay and graphics, but has one of the worst soundtracks in gaming.

Was 06's soundtrack actually that good?
Sa2 has one of my favorites in gaming but I just realized i've never even listened to any of 06's
Evan Adams
06 has some comfy instrumentals.

Just ignore the vocal stuff (totally fucking terrible) and yes, '06 has a really good soundtrack.
Jack Flores
Within Sonic's fanbase (as in the ones who are aware sonic isn't always good and always know when things are good and bad) there is a saying. "Is the game bad? Then the soundtrack is bound to be good." Wave Ocean is probably one of the best songs I've heard in the entire franchise. Crisis City makes the place feel more dangerous. Also Flash Man's theme is in it.

Sonic '06 is a much better game than you casuals think it is anyway.
Austin Barnes
Yes.
Sonic Team's music department is one of them best in the industry.
Noah Jenkins
I'd never defend Sonic 06 when it comes to its shitty gameplay and story.
But the soundtrack alone is what keeps it from being the worst game ever. And because of that Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric takes the cake. I'll defend that until kingdom come.

Sonic 06 cant be good by default because it uses the adventure formula as a base. The only good thing to come from it was the mach speed levels which were heavily flawed, but unleashed took and perfected, which then created a string of legitimately good games following its formula.
The soundtrack of 06 isnt particularly any good either. A lot of it sounds like rejected music for phantasy star universe, another 2006 sonic team game. Sonic 06 was made with right intentions (to reboot the franchise) but just went about it the complete wrong way

The adventure era is the worst era of sonic. SA1/2/06 are irredeemable garbage. Heroes and shadow were much better back then and the unleashed boost formula is the way to permanently go. They branched out again with lost world to disastrous results, the worst story and characters in the series, confusing controls (the first for a sonic game), and the general feel of the game was always very stiff and automated
Adventure kids are laughed at universally for prioritizing "deep" stories with chao garden gameplay serving it and everything else being a side attraction. The people who like the classics and/or boost games all laugh at your ilk, just know that
Levi Foster
jesus christ who at sega made that and said "yeah, that sounds great!" fucking hell
Owen Long
It was Bioware actually. That should answer your question.
Jackson Edwards
Sonic 2006's OST is about as good as Tekken 5's, which is to say it's pretty average.
Josiah Hill
this. bioware fucking sucks. they should have given it to obsidian if they wanted a sonic wrpg.
Easton Sanders
06's soundtrack is good, but it's overrated.
It's not the best, nor is it anywhere near top-tier, but due to it being the only redeeming factor of 06, it's talked about more highly than it should be.
Zachary Kelly
It's honestly my favorite soundtrack out of the 3D Sonic games.
Aaron Ortiz

No stage music from any Sonic game comes even close to being as epic and grandiose as this.
The OST is amazing, which hurts even more that it was wasted on such a trainwreck of a game.
Christian Jackson
I really just liked the free roam and level design of SA1/2. I was also like 6 when those games came out for dreamcast so it wouldn't have taken much to impress me. 3D games were still relatively new back then and it was a lot of eye candy that you won't see now a days. I also liked the Heroes team mechanic.

It was pretty great but it has the remix I like the most among sonic songs:

I'm not sure what's bigger, the critic hateboner for DC movies after BvS or the fans' hateboner for Sonic after '06

>Sega of japan fucks up the genesis launch in america by partnering it with tonka
>Sega of japan FIXES this by hiring tom kalinske and letting him run SoA
>SoJ tries to fuck up the ONLY good thing they have going for them, sonic the hedgehog. Created a horrid sonic OC to rival that of DA, complete with twin neck guitar, fangs, devil bat wings and heavy metal leather clothes. Is fixed by tom kalinske.
>SoA switches the pack in to sonic as he feels its a better game.
>SoJ screams at SoA for this, tried to fire tom.
>SoA dumps SoJ's ad agency. Switches from SoJ's standard nintendo based ads to the famous Sega Scream. SoJ tries to have tom fired.
>SoA is dominating the SNES. They own more of the market share, they are on better terms with the retailers than Nintendo and theyre turning decent profits.
>SoJ is failing. Their nintendo based marketing isnt working and their sonic sales are abysmal. SoJ tries to fire tom for this.
>SoJ decided that they are done with this gen since the genesis is failing in japan (which only makes 20% of the market), but doing well in america (still number 1 in almost every category, but nintendo is catching up because of DKC).
>SoJ decides to release addons for the genesis. SoA says this is a bad idea, people want a new console, not expensive addons. SoJ ignores this until they try to use these words to fire tom.
>tom kalinske comes to them with a proposition from Sony. They want to co-produce the PS1 with sega. Each one would split the profits 50/50 for the system and the 3rd party titles, but keep their first party titles profits. SoJ turns this down instantly and tries to fire tom.
>SoJ decides its time to make the saturn project finalized. Hides the system specs from SoA because their american.
>SoA sees the horrid shape that the saturn is in (despite them trying to hide it) and tom puts them onto the SGI chip (n64's eventual chip). SoJ instantly turns this down and tries to fire tom for this.

>SoJ has now somehow convinced their CEO that all of SoA's success was all SoJ's doing. Tom did nothing.
>SoJ says that all genesis sales worldwide are to stop. That this gen is over. No more to be sold.
>the saturn was designed and built in 9 months. It turns out to be a horrid system to program for. Launches it anyway. had 3 titles for launch. only 1 sold.
>Forces the saturn launch early in america by 7 months out of the blue. Pisses off everyone. No games are ready for it. It has 4 games for 9 months.
>SoA is now told to fire the team who made the sega scream. Goes back to nintendo commercials.
they lose their key demographic. They try and fire tom for the low sales of the saturn and the lost profits from the genesis being discontinued early.
>tom quits.SoJ replaced him with a man who instantly went to war with every single one of the 3rd party publishers/studios.
>Okawa, a well known and profitable japanese businessman, comes in and explains calmly how fucking stupid he has been. Nakayama leaves
>Launches the dreamcast with the SOLE purpose of rebuilding the sega loyalty lost by SoJ. Lets SoA do whatever they want because it worked before.
>SoA does amazing. Launches seganet , brings back the Sega scream & brings tons of 3rs parties back
>The only failure with the dreamcast was SoJ's Sato (the head of R&D and all consoles built around his whims) demanded that it NOT be based on DVD's and rather his CD based disc because he was super impressed he got a CD to 1gig and thought the would would accept his as the new format.
>Okawa kills the dreamcast as the ps2 killed it with the dvd capability. has sega firing on all cylinders working on ports of their games to other consoles
>Okawa dies, but leaves Sega almost twice as much money as their debt, bringing them not only into the black, but erasing all debt period. Last edict was to give sega time to make good games at the correct pace to keep the good faith they earned with the dreamcast.
Camden Morgan
>SoJ pushed out games at a rapid pace, earning tons of hate from the fans due to horrid games, sonic 06 at the top of the list.
There is no world where this exists. SoJ would have to be killed in 1992 for this world to exist.
Sega didnt die. It was murdered by SoJ.

At least something good happened because of that shitfest.

>enemies with giant health bars
>recycling levels over and over again for different characters even in the same story (wave ocean as tails)

"this reminded me,(again) of one SEGA title that pissed me off - Phantasy Star IV. We stepped in to do that when SoA passed because they said was no market for it (total bull) and it wouldn't sell. But when they learned we got involved and were going to license it from SoJ, SoA magically became interested again, but only so they could sell it for a ridiculous price to PROVE there was no market, rather than have us succeed with it and prove them wrong to SoJ. That $100 price had nothing to do with reality and everything to do with them trying to kill the title at launch with a price like 60% over the norm to prove a point. They failed. Even at $100, it sold out."
Easton Cruz
As someone who hasn't played the boost games in a while, what makes boostfags like it so much? It feels so on-rails it's not even funny. Sure adventure gameplay was also kind of linear but it wasn't almost just a straight line with occasional hoops.
Also my ideal Sonic gameplay would be a polished up Adventure gameplay with Classic's level design philosophy so rate my shit taste.
Chase Russell

Thats Bernie Stolar for ya in a nutshell.
Hated the sega scream
Hated 3rd party games, people, devs... well, pretty much everything not his
Hated the genesis
Hated tom
Hated e3
Hated hated RPGs. Felt only action games were REAL games
He was the perfect person for SoJ's board of directors. He followed their words to the fucking letter
