Agreed. I think that's why the Sonic 06 review just felt rather lackluster to me. Granted, at this point, it's hard to find anything new to say about it due to its infamy, but he barely scratched the surface of why it was bad. Plus it feels more "complete" when we see the ending or at least the final boss, like he actually took the time to play the game & fully understands why it was bad instead of just one level or two & going "alright, that's enough to complain about." Not to mention there can be humor from a game having a lackluster ending after all the shit the player had to go through (like with Predator on NES).I generally prefer episodes of avgn where he gets to the end of the game. Even if its one of those impossible hard games like terminator on nes I'd rather see him use game geine to try and see the rest of the game other then rage quit on stage 1.
Hell, I just realized, he never even brought up the fact you can play as Shadow or Silver, both of which had their own set of complaints he could've easily brought up like the physics for tossing items as Silver or driving cars as Shadow. Not even that infamous boss battle as Silver where the player can get glitched & be stuck in an infinite loop of taking damage and getting a ring back.
Not saying the review was bad per say, but just a bit disappointing when I saw another reviewer (Completionist) go into such detail about each campaign & why it was bad and the disappointment that there's no reward for 100%ing the game.
