Eggman is up to his evil antics again, in his quest for World domination, he unleashes a powerful ray that divides the world into several continents and transforms Sonic into a beast-like state. But this time he is truly in a world-wide race against time as the sun sets, a new adventure awakens.In this new adventure, Dr. Sonic is back to what he does best, super high speed action.Just beware of the occasional bad controls in the later levels, but that's to be expected in just about any 3D Sonic game. It's especially helpful to identify hidden areas.Īll-in-all, if you like the Sonic series, I would recommend this game. Luckily, there is a GTA-style map that helps you out some. Some are good (the snow sledding level is especially fun), others seem to be designed in a random or disorganized way. The levels are not as polished as previous games. Not as fast as Sonic, but he's still fairly swift. The other reviews also mentions that warehog is painfully slow. If you don't want to use one of your TWO spare lives, your only option is a level restart.Īlot of other reviews I read mentioned an uneven balance between Sonic and 'warehog.' That may be true, but the cool power-ups and fighting capabilities of warehog makes it only a small issue in my opinion. If you don't time it to the nanosecond, you will fall into an abyss or drown. Some of the more complicated jumps in the later levels can be especially frustating. Sonic's round shadow helps some of the time, but when you're jumping in a diagonal direction, it's hi t or miss. Unlike Sonic Adventure and other 3D Sonic games, the camera angle is fixed with no way of moving it. The biggest problem I have with this game is the controls and camera angle. The tutorials for the 'unlocked' moves need to be manually accessed from the menu it won't automatically take you there when you earn them. It's best to keep the instruction booklet handy. The tutorials are adequate since there are alot of moves to memorize. The storyline and cut scenes are once again cheesy with uneven voice acting (sometimes good, sometime horribly forced). The visuals are highly polished and nice to look at. I like (or at least try to like) the Sonic series. Other familiar characters from the franchise, such as Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose, make appearances in a number of optional mini-games that offer a break from the high-speed action.Ī decent Sonic game that's cursed with occasional bad controls
There are nine game worlds, all designed to resemble real places such as Greece, China, and New York City, and each of the worlds features branching pathways and multiple routes to the finish line.
As always, players collect rings as they reach supersonic levels of speed, making use of the "Quick Step" and "Speed Drift" abilities to avoid obstacles and handle corners without losing momentum.
Sonic Unleashed makes use of a new "Hedgehog Engine" designed to give the game an unparalleled sense of speed and provide smooth transitions between the 2D and 3D sections of each daytime level. The cataclysm also brings about an unexpected change in Sonic, and in order to find the lost chaos emeralds and reconnect the world's continents, players must master both his traditional daytime abilities, and the new nighttime abilities of his slower and stronger alter ego Sonic the Werehog. Eggman has caused a catastrophic event that shattered the world into many pieces, and gamers must guide the spiky-haired Sonic on a quest to reunite the planet.
