Well, it's the 10th anniversary to a certain game, one that continues to haunt the franchise to this very day.
There's nothing more about this game that hasn't been said. The game is bad, terrible even. It did some things right, the music being one of the series' best, Shadow's story being pretty decent, and the opening has one of my favorite Sonic moments.
(even though this cutscene seemed to have used up all of Sonic's personality in the game)
I also feel the game impacted the reception of other Sonic games, mainly Sonic Unleashed. Say what you will about the Werehog, but the game is MUCH better than 06.
I would love to see the return of the Adventure formula one day, but we may never see that thanks to this game.
Regardless, I still have faith in Sonic. While Rise of Lyric is arguably worse, that wasn't done by Sonic Team. We've gotten good, even great Sonic games since 06. I don't support Sonic because I want him to be good, I support Sonic because I
know he can good, and I look forward to both Sonic Mania and Project Sonic 2017.
