    The fastest sonic game, turns out to be the most fun and enjoyable game of the franchise. Focus more on speed, and making a mix of plataform and racing was the best idea sega have made in years. On the PS2, the graphics look awesome compared to the other games on the same plataform. A really well done job

    Considero que este es uno de esos juegos que quedaran grabados en esta franquicia como uno de los mas subestimados de todos. El juego en si mismo es correcto técnicamente, no encontré ningún tipo de bug o error en su programación salvo minimos detalles pero todos muy poco notables.

El juego en si mismo es correcto técnicamente, no encontré ningún tipo de bug o error en su programación salvo minimos detalles pero todos muy poco notables. Después me pareció muy interesante la idea de incluir niveles plataformeros por un lado con el Erizo-Lobo y por otro incluir niveles mas de "carreras" con el Sonic común. La jugabilidad en ambos lados es eficiente, podría ser mejor pero considero que es muy correcta y sobretodo muy variable, no se estanca en un par de movimientos y listo. Los gráficos son buenos, la música no es de lo mejor de la franquicia en mi opinión pero algunos temas se te grabaran seguro. La historia es en mi opinión es atrapante y los nuevos personajes me resultaron muy llamativos. La dificultad varia en mi opinión y su duración es correcta. Los jefes en general me dejaron un poco que desear excepto el ultimo que considero es uno de los mejores de toda la franquicia. Salvo algunos pequeños tropiezos en la jugabilidad y en la cámara y también quizás en lo que respecta a la IA de los jefes y los enemigos en juego en general es rejugable y muy divertido por eso considero que es bueno, ojala en el futuro la gente empiece a verlo con buenos ojos porque considero que muchas de sus criticas no solo fueron injustas sino también poco objetivas.… Expand

    The ps2 version is good but is also a let down. Positives: good gameplay, good sense of speed , great day time stages. Negatives: Too much werehog, Okay night stages and I hate that you need to find to find these medals. In the end This version of Sonic Unleashed Is worth the money

    Before you say it, no. My one problem with this game is NOT the Werehog stages. I actually really liked those, and the rest of the game ain't too bad either. The stages are stellar, I love the music, and the controls are smooth as ice. My only problem is in some of the daytime stages, you can go from a 3D plane to a 2D plane. I like this touch, but it can REALLY screw up my coordination.Before you say it, no. My one problem with this game is NOT the Werehog stages.

I'd say you check it out, as it's one of the last good Sonic games we got before the atrocity that was Sonic Boom.and for all I know the Werehog stages are DEFINITLY better than Ty 3's horrible excuse for combat… Expand

    I will always call this the most underrated game of 2008. It was awesome. My only problem is the fight against Dark Gaia but only in round one. It was really annoying. The night stages are horribly underrated as well because they're awesome and have great beat em up action. The day stage are the ones that need improvement.

Its a great game and needs better reception.… Expand

    Despite the slightly downgraded graphics, this game makes up for it with vastly improved control and it really feels like the best (and easiest to play) version of what I feel like is the best Sonic game ever made. For a PS2 game with downgraded visuals, that says a lot.

    9/10- Outstanding

    esse é, o melhor jogo do sonic para o ps2 ao lado de sonic heroes, ótima jogabilidade com o sonic, rápida e divertida, com o werehog, ótimo plataforma e combates bem construídos, gráficos bons, historia excelente, trilha sonora maravilhosa, um final épico e muito longevo, um jogo muito bom e extremamente injustiçado.

    Es perfecto, muchos lo juzgan solo por un erizo lobo, dudo que lo hallan jugado lo que lo critiquen por eso ya que es un juegazo, tanto en historia como en Gameplay y dificultad

    Sonic Unleashed is one of the BEST SONIC Games ever. I hope if they make one day a Sonic Unleashed Remaster it should be the same game but in 4K and 60fps and extra content. This game is just amazing! The Story 10/10 the Gameplay of Sonic great, the Werehog was oke but it was fun too. But at the end amazing game

    Sonic Unleashed is half great game and half tedious gimmick.

    The faster Sonic levels are a real treat, and Sonic Unleashed has many high points to balance out the lows. The real bummer is not so much the concept of the werehog sections as it is how these portions of the game painfully drag the rest of the game down.

    Sonic Unleashed is a decent Sonic game for someone that can overlook the slower Night stages. The Werehog missions aren't all the way bad but when played several times in a row, they tend to become repetitive and unwelcome.
