Well, I wouldn't know about that considering I've only touched the first game.To be fair, it went downhill since the existence of Breath of Fire IV and Dragon Quarter (The BoF equivalent of Sonic 06 ).
By the way, I do think people do exaggerate how bad Sonic '06 is. It's just as bad as Sonic Adventure, another pretty mediocre game in the series. Personally in my opinion, Shadow the Hedgehog is worse.
