Sonic fans, here is something for you today. Sonic NEXT PC Team has released a demo of the Sonic 2006 fan remake in Unity Engine. Now we know that SEGA is fans of remakes and recreations, so we are pretty sure that the team will not receive a C&D letter, even though the game uses assets from Sonic 2006.
As the team noted, this project using only original SONIC THE HEDGEHOG files like assets, sounds and textures. Sonic 2006 was released on both X360 and PS3 and never came to the PC. As such, this fan remake – using a newer engine than the one used in Sonic 2006 – may turn out to be the best way to experience SEGA’s title.
This demo features the Dusty Desert level with Sonic and Elise, and can be downloaded from here or here.
Now we know that Sonic 2006 is not one of the best Sonic games but hey, this is a free recreation so you can at least give it a go. And while the team aims to recreate the whole game, there is no guaranteed that it will be able to achieve something like that. So yeah, if you are Sonic fans, download and play it.
Have fun!

it really doesn’t matter what engine you put this bag of turds in, it still looks about as fun as getting your pooper checked by Dr. Fat Fingers

Is there a good Sonic game to play? Or is it mostly console tripe for the masses?
In other news, there’s a new serum you can inject yourself with to give yourself cancer. Or you could just play this demo.
Sonic 06 remade in Unity? This has to be some sort of sick joke right?
Oh, I’m going to get hanged for this… but I played the demo… and I must confess… I *gulp* had f-f-fuuuun.
I know the game is buggy af and riddled with poor design choices, janky animations and way too sensitive movement, while the story in 06 makes DeviantArt stories look like Shakespeare. So why in God’s name was I enjoying myself?
Somebody please answer me, because I am in so much denial right now. :))
don’t listen to the naysayers, it’s popular to hate this game for some reason (bugs? console exclusive? serious storyline in a sonic game? 3D? idk why, blame it on ClementJ64)
honestly this game alone was better than colors and unleashed in my perspective (an actual 3D sonic game with a real hub-world, multiple characters, branching storyline, co-op and vs multiplayer, it was a good sonic game under all the bugs and technical issues)
it’s still incredibly sh**ty, the fact you can’t tell such a sh**ty game from an actual good game like Colors amazes me
colors is mostly 2D and the script was so laughably bad that i sincerely wonder why 06 was regarded as the “worst story ever”
i thoroughly enjoyed generations but it suffers from the same issue of colors and unleashed, forced 2D sections in a 3D sonic game
completely kills off the pacing and all levels are designed similarlly
to Colors’s credit the levels and music were fantastic, if not for the majority of the game being played in 2D (and the obvious Wii exclusivity, it’s not very fun playing a sonic game through an emulator)
what’s your beef with 06? i found the glitches to be very timid and rare
the mach speed sections are horrendous but manageable
silver stages quite fun, and with Rouge and Knux you can just speed run the level
unlike unleashed that your progression is locked behind stupid sun&moon medals
Maybe they fixed the bugs? Seems fun in the video at least…
The last good sonic adventure game…
sure it was buggy and full of glitches, it was the last sonic game with a serious tone
and multiple characters
aka adventure type…
i wish they could remake this game entirely and publish it on PC
playing this level at 60 FPS and not chopping 24 makes all the difference
The other day I learned that this game has been ported to the Generations engine. Maybe that’s what you had in mind?
Pro tip – 3rd download link is very fast
