DESCRIPTION
Sega's speed-loving mascot returns to foil another evil plot in Sonic Unleashed. This time, Dr. 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. 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.
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. 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. 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. 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. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“Pretty good Sonic game the night stages can be hard to get used to but I loved the speed of the day stages. Took me forever to get the platinum trophy mostly because of the hot dog stand in EGGMANLAND, the bane of my existence. For a casual play through though I thought it was the best sonic in a while.”

“This really is, again, the case of SEGA doing something right and then adding gimick after gimick. The worse in this case being the night-time gameplay. You go from a speedy blur to a furry bore. God of War esque gameplay with frustrating quick time events and slow SLOWWWWWW gameplay.
The best part of this game is the Sonic Levels. 2.5D gameplay, with the levels combining 2D and 3D plains with quick and painless objectives - get to the end!
I would recommend this to any Sonic fan, considering the price of it now, but heavily warn you about the night-time levels and the pain it brings.
However, overall, it pains me to say if you aren't that much of a Sonic fan and want to check it out, it's a best a rental and a one play through.
Come on SEGA get your act togther!! ”

“This may come as a great shock to you, but I didn't hate this game. It's at least a few steps up from Sonic 2006, anyway.”
