Product Description
Platform: Nintendo Wii
Sonic is truly in a world-wide race against time... as the sun sets, a new adventure awakens.
In this new adventure, Dr. Eggman is up to his evil antics again, in his quest for World domination. He unleashes a powerful ray that not only divides the world into several continents, but has an unexpected transformation on Sonic's state.
Sonic must travel across the globe, completing action-packed stages to retrieve the power of the Chaos Emeralds to ultimately save the world... and himself! Sonic's world has been transformed, courtesy of a powerful new game engine that delivers the tight gameplay of a 2D sidescroller in stunning, picturesque 3D environments. Sonic Unleashed takes everything you know and love about Sonic and upgrades it with spectacular scenery, new combat powers, an unexpected storyline, and, of course, blistering speed.
- Introducing the all-new powerful Hedgehog Engine that delivers a revolutionary gameplay experience, combining ultra realistic graphics with seamless transition between 3D to classic 2D high-speed action.
- Accelerate to super speed with Sonic Boost, avoid obstacles instantly using Quick Step and accelerate around corners with Speed Drift - this is Sonic at his fastest!
- Journey and explore seven unique, rich and vibrant continents - sprint across cobbled streets or race through lush jungles on a quest to save the world.
- With a massive world as Sonic's new playground, follow multiple paths and routes that presents different encounters, rewards and obstacles at every turn, as an unexpected storyline unfolds.
- Sonic's transformation brings new powers of combat and movement, giving an innovative and challenging Sonic experience.

Fun:
Though many would say this isn't the best game sega have made, i generally think its not too bad because although most of the stages are at night, the day stages are really do give you a decent sonic experience. Compared with the 360 and PS3 versions which show larger stages with more fancy tricks to do in the air, the game play and the graphics really aren't that bad.
The night stages on the other hand can get a little tiresome since your doing the same thing over and over and can get annoying when you miss a jump and loose a life as a result.
Overall I would give 5 out of 5 for pure fun but 4 out of 5 for lack of high speed sonic action and lack of normal sonic type stages

First of all I do love Sonic games.
I love the original 2d games and I really enjoyed the sonic adventure series. I have been waiting with baited breath for a while now for a truly decent 3d Sonic experience. Sonic Adventure 2 on the Gamecube came very close to being perfect and I had high hopes on Unleashed besting it. This game isn't perfect, its far from it.
It is such a shame as the actual Sonic stages (The day stages) are brilliant. They are fast paced and offer that true feeling of speed that you get from a well made Sonic game. Also they look wonderful and are very easy to control.
However, the Were hog levels (Nights stages) are terrible. They are repetitive and are just not fun. You wander aimlessly around looking for bad guys to beat up, move on do the same, and so on, and so on. They lack any originality and have more in common with Streets of Rage than with Sonic. It all looks impressive but that can't hide the fact these stages are just not fun.
The graphics, sound and eve the story are impressive in this game. Over all though, these Were hog stages just let this game down too much.
What a shame, hopefully Sega will get it right with their next Sonic outing. Although I can't remember the amount of times I have now said that.
If you really are a die hard Sonic fan, try this game. But don't be surprised if it dissapoints you.

Fun:
From the moment the game loads up you have a feeling inside, wondering wherever or not your purchase was worth the money or if you've just loaded up the best Sonic game of recent years.
To me it was a little of both.
From the Opening movie It's a typical Sonic Vs Eggman scene in Space, switching to Eggman on the run and Sonic falling into his trap, only to be turned into a Werehog and forced out into space, falling towards a Planet now fractured by Eggman, and a mysterious beast released from it's core.
The game is more forgiving than the PS3/360 Sonic 06 game, although you can easily die, it isnt a common occurance and can be avoided.
You are eased into the gameplay by Tutorial levels using either Sonic or the Werehog, these cover all the aspects of the Wii controls(Saving the special stuff for later) and even then its all explained.
The graphics are really good, Sega really got the game down well because I noticed barely any slowdown, and everything, including the scenary is pretty to look at.
Sonic levels are fast and clean although there are a lot of challenges that can be hard like racing through a level and avoiding Ice blocks to get the medal reward at the end.
Werehog levels are slow and cumbersome, they involve using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck and swinging motions to attack, and to be honest it can become a little tiring when you are faced with enemy after enemy.
One of the good things about the Werehog stages Is that its slower, yes I complained that it's slow, but you are less liable to fall into a pit or water through the fault of the game.
Moving on, there are a lot of things ingame to keep you entertained in the form of challenges on levels you unlock.
And the biggest plus for me anyway is that the towns are no longer 3D(They are in the 360/PS3 version) Meaning you get like a interactive picture of a town with areas to click on, it loads up a character in said area with text to push the story forward.
After playing Sonic 06 this was a huge plus because to be honest, they cant do towns right, and it gets you into the action a lot quicker.
All in all its a fun but flawed game, if you can get at a cheap enough price GO FOR IT!

Disappointed.
Takes to long to get into the game itself because of the training.
Not as good as previous sonic games. Disappointed.

Awesome!
Really cool graphics and incorporates the wii remote very well. You get to use loads of actions to fight yourself through each level and the evil sonic is very fun to play.
