The Angry Video Game Nerd reviews Sonic the Hedgehog '06, a game he believes was never meant to be a Sonic game. He criticizes the game's poor controls, frustrating level design, and awkward storyline. The Nerd expresses his hatred for the game's loading screens, the camera system, and the trials that Sonic must complete to progress.
