    Não tenho nem muito o que comentar, é 10 na lata, zerei mais de 4 vezes e em 3 plataformas diferentes, simplesmente a masterpiece da era moderna do ouriço, musicas fenomenais, fases marcantes e personagens memoráveis, historia simples porém interessante e mesmo as fases do werehog são muito legais e diversifica bastante a gameplay, é GOTY

    Its 2023. And in my personal opinion, this game is still one of the best games to blow some steam off or to just reminisce on the older sonics. This game has surpassed boundaries for its time.

This game has surpassed boundaries for its time. The were-hog stages are an interesting concept though. And I will admit, they took way too long to complete. Something felt off with the enemy too, almost as if they did not want to fight. You also had a set combo list to your arsenal. Either you use em' or you don't. You do eventually unlock new moves but then its all the same again. Finding all the day and night medals were a pain too. Yet with all these setbacks, I think SEGA struck pure gold with every other aspect of the game. The story isn't as bad as these critics say it is, the music is outstanding and the hub lobbies are pieces of art. You feel unstoppable while dashing through obstacles and enemies. Again, the medals were a pain to get but lets say you aren't actively hunting them. The day stages are nothing short of a destructive joyride. Unfortunately though, SEGA completely wasted that final boss fight. I saw so much potential with that, especially with super sonic. Overall, this game does have its ups and downs and it was an absolute blast for me.… Expand

    Take Guitar Hero, Need for Speed and Classic Sonic, and put them all in a blender. The result is what might seem like a mess, but is one of the industry's finest work. The concept is very unique, and the originality pays off very well, as the execution is stellar. A sense of spectacle carries these levels.

    Take Guitar Hero, Need for Speed and Classic Sonic, and put them all in a blender. The result is what might seem like a mess, but is one of the industry's finest work. The concept is very unique, and the originality pays off very well, as the execution is stellar. A sense of spectacle carries these levels. And as if there wasn't enough adrenaline, the game allows you to "boost": unstoppably running at a huge speed, obliterating everything on your way. And while that may seem like a click-to-win button, it's actually not. The challenge is to manage that speed, to avoid falling in pits or going the wrong way. Being that fast, the game doesn't want you to think for too long, nor does it slow you down with intricate platforming: Instead, it testes your reflexes, and does so with such commitment that it becomes the highlight of these levels. Overall, 9.5/10. It's not a perfect score because there are occasional very annoying frame drops.

    Night:
    Now these levels are a less interesting to talk about because quite frankly, they're just okay. You play as Sonic, but for some reason he's a "Werehog" with stretchy hands? The idea is quite strange, yes. The execution, on the other hand, is far less unique: Most of the levels consist in combat sections, where you beat up all sorts of weird glowing monsters, alongside platforming sections that are actually pretty solid. The combat is itself is also quite solid: it's responsive, visually satisfying and the combos are great. You unlock more combos the more you play, which helps adapting to the increasing difficulty. The biggest issue is the repetitiveness of it. It's everywhere, so much so that it gets very boring. Another issue is the lack of strategy: teach your cat to click on buttons and it'll beat the level for you. Of course, I'll give credit where it's due: there are combos, and they're satisfying to learn and use, but that's still no strategy because all the combos have the same outcome. The other big part of these levels is the platforming, and it's solid. It makes a huge use of your weird, stretchy arms, in a decent way. There are a few puzzles, and there's not much to talk about because they're just alright, serviceable at best.
    Overall, night levels are good. Just good, nothing more nothing less, a 7.5/10.

    (9.5+7.5)/2=8.5

    Presentation: Graphics:
    Unleashed is arguably one of the best looking games on old gen consoles. In fact, its visuals still hold up very well among modern games. After releasing the mess that is Sonic 2006, Sonic Team made a brand new game engine, The Hedgehog Engine, that was specifically made to imitate CGI animation, and it paid off. It's still being used in other Sonic and SEGA games nowadays. The shadows and lighting are incredible. There is a great sense of spectacle in day levels, and a great atmosphere in night levels. The graphics are somewhere between realistic and cartoonish, which is a balance all Sonic games should aim for. My favourite levels in terms of visuals are Act 2 of Apotos and Act 1 of Chun-Nan. If I had to complain about something, it would be the blurry textures (you don't notice them very often because you're either going too fast to see every texture or it's too dark to see them, but they're very obvious in cutscenes), and the frame drops. Yeah, this game looks so good that the 360 and (especially) the PS3 can't handle it apparently. There are going to be moments where the framerate drops horrendously, luckily however there are very few of these moments. One last thing: The opening cinematic is GORGEOUS, it looks absolutely stunning, I'm not even going to waste my time describing it, just watch it yourself.
    Graphics get a well deserved 9/10. Music: It's a Sonic The Hedgehog soundtrack we're talking about, of course it's going to be great. You know the deal already, day levels are energetic, night ones are jazzy, hub ones fit the theme of the town, and they're all great, no exceptions. Unfortunately Sonic has abandoned his rock n roll roots in favour of more simple music that you'd actually expect from a video game. This isn't a bad thing, because it's well executed, but we just kind of miss those crazy guitar riffs from Jun Senoue. It's a shame his band Crush 40 didn't compose the game's theme song, "Endless Possibilities" (for some reason it's made by the band that did the Phineas and Ferb theme?). My personal highlights are Spagonia (Night) and Dark Phoenix.
    Sound design is great as well, Sega's sound team, as always, definitely knows what's up.
    The music and sound design get a solid 9/10. Story:
    I skipped most of the cutscenes so I'm not too sure, but it's relatively cartoonish, and it suddenly gets pretty epic and serious by the end which is a change I appreciated.

    Total: (9+9)/2=9

    Overall? a very mixed experience, a love it or hate it game. Fortunately, I loved it. It's pretty cheap nowadays, so I highly recommend you give it a shot.    … Expand

    This is my perfect Sonic game. And yes, before you bring it up, I really enjoy the Werehog levels, sometimes just as much as the Hedgehog levels! Rooftop Run Act 1 and Windmill Isle Act 2 are ones I really like, just to name a few.

    Also I love speedrunning Eggmanland. My current best time for that is 11 minutes and 35 seconds.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sonic Unleashed is a masterpiece, say what you want about the werehog night stages, idc, they are amazing. People usually say they are bad bc they are long and hard. Well the levels are only long when you don't know what your doing, once you get used to them, they're easy enough. The day stages are the best boosting stages in the series with its absolutely amazing level design, the soundtrack is fire and the story is amazing. The opening cutscene really empowers the player and makes them want to play those amazing game, and the super sonic transformation in this game is absolutely amazing. All in all, this game is great. The graphics are also great for a 2008 game. The only critical comment I can make is that some of the medals you have to collect in this game are in stupid places. Another thing that is so good about this game is how all the places you go to are based off of real life locations, Apotos, (the first place you visit when you start the game) Is based of Greece and is a spitting image of it, Spagonia is based off of England, Italy and France, with a dash of Spain in it, Empire city is based of New York etc. It was such a great idea that really worked. This game has the best story in the series and it shows Sonic in a new light that we hadn't seen in the series before and less like the usual cocky hedgehog he is. He has more of a developed personality and is willing to die at the end of the game (but ofc he is saved). He is a true hero in this game. This is the best Sonic game to date.… Expand

    Sonic Unleashed is a good game. It has a lot of good elements, but also a whole lot of bad elements. Your enjoyment may vary based on your willingness to explore the stages & hub zones, along with your tolerance of the Werehog stages.

    Okay, let's start with the positives, shall we? Sonic's stages is awesome stuff. The sense of speed is unparalleled, Sonic Unleashed makes you feel    Sonic Unleashed is a good game. It has a lot of good elements, but also a whole lot of bad elements. Your enjoyment may vary based on your willingness to explore the stages & hub zones, along with your tolerance of the Werehog stages.

    Okay, let's start with the positives, shall we?

    Sonic's stages is awesome stuff. The sense of speed is unparalleled, Sonic Unleashed makes you feel like you're rolling around at the speed of sound. No other game from the franchise lets you go this fast. The level design, for the most part, is good. The game encourages you to master these stages and forces you to react to oncoming obstacles quickly. This makes these stages feel so rewarding and replayable, just like the coveted Classics. Sonic's controls can definitely feel clunky, there are moments where you will die because you just couldn't humanly react to something. Also, the controls can be woefully unresponsive or heavy. The drift in this game simply doesn't help you go 'round corners. Levels such as Savvanah Citadel Act 2, Skyscraper Scamper Act 1 and Jungle Joyride Act 1 would've really benefited from tighter controls. Also, the fact that the Homing Attack and Air Boost are mapped to the same button leads to silly deaths. ​

    If this game was just the Sonic stages, we would be looking at a 9/10 game here!

    Before we address the Werehog in the room, I feel inclined to talk about some of the game's side features. Art direction and areas look amazing, you really feel like you're going on a globe-trotting adventure. The soundtrack also helps to sell these areas and immerse you in the game world. It's immaculate, there are lots of absolute head-boppers here along with more atmospheric tracks. The UI looks stylized and crisp. The voice acting isn't great but the cutscenes are really fun, probably the best Sonic story to date.

    Alright, onto the Werehog stages.... hear me out here, they're not awful. I actually liked the Werehog a lot more than I thought I would. Reviewers definitely fabricated how bad this element of the game was. I actually feel like these stages get good when you unlock more moves through the game's RPG-Esque XP system, combat can be a massive spectacle but it gets repetitive really quickly. I hate when the level designers shoehorn tight-roping, clunky platform sections when the controls really are not built to accommodate it.

    Medal-collecting ruins both the Sonic and Werehog levels, you need an insane amount of medals to progress through the game. You need 120 sun medals and 90 moon medals just to beat the game. WHYYY! You have to comb through every level to find these things. Honestly, I wouldn't blame you if you have to use a guide to collect these things, this is just woeful. Ruins the pacing of the game making it more monotonous.

    If you're gonna play this game please play it on the Xbox Series X. You get 60fps which helps this game massively.

    This game cannot sustain a smooth 30fps on original hardware. The Empire City hub world is a massive offender, the frame rate is in the teens when there is not much on screen at all. Jungle Joyride Act 1 Day is godawful, looks like a glorified PowerPoint presentation. The game runs at a pitiful 880x720 on Xbox 360 & PS3, and the boost blur doesn't help matters at all.

    If you wanna play this game, try to get it on Xbox Series X where you get 60fps, which helps the game's input latency a lot. Absolute game-changer.
    Or you if just want to play the day stages, just play the Sonic Unleashed project. There you get 60fps, you can crank up the resolution to 4K. Also, you get Sonic Generation's superior controls.

    Overall, I'm very conflicted. There's a lot more good than bad. It shows off the potential of the Boost formula very nicely. So I'm going to give it a 8/10.    … Expand

    La verdad que poniéndome a pensar con Sonic Unsleashed y no entiendo porque la prensa tiene tanto odio con Sonic.
    Es un juegazo con todas las letras, la verdad que seria un digno merecedor de un 8 en Nota, pero a la gente no le gustó el lobo. Que asco la prensa

    Cons:

    - Werehog. Look, I get some people may like this, but this is a Sonic game. For me, it's extremely tedious and boring. Levels can take up to half an hour if you don't have all the upgrades, and the combat comes down to mindless button mashing and QTE events. Not to mention other issues, such as the lack of a dropshadow and the battle music that plays CONSTANTLY. It's just a shame as it makes the game such a chore if you just want to play the daytime stages.

    - Medal collecting. I swear to god, the medal hunting in this game is DEVASTATING. It gets to the point where you have to spend hours looking for them, wasting your god damn time roaming hub worlds and replaying stages just so you can either spend half an hour doing a werehog level, or a couple mins in a daytime stage. Please, if this game is remastered/remade, MAKE MEDALS OPTIONAL. It makes the game take so much longer than it should, and it only serves as a way to pad out gameplay.

    - Daytime stages are far from perfect. Yes, they're fun to replay and all, but with a game like this, the stages NEED to be almost perfect because of all these other issues, like the Werehog. Controls are slippery, the homing attack being mapped to the airboost is frustrating, the drift is bad(fixed in generations), and large sections of stages play themselves or are on rails(literally and figuratively). These stages definitely have great moments but they just aren't worth all the trouble. Personally, if Unleashed is ported to PC, I'd probably just get a 100% save file and play the daytime stages.

    Take the werehog, medal collecting, and boring hub worlds out of the equation, and you'd get yourself a solid 7 or even 8/10 game if you're feeling generous. But with all these issues, I'm forced to give the game a 5.    … Expand

But there are signs this game was rushed. The final boss is very segmented and odd, and not to mention the physics Sonic has aren't refined, he feels slippery and is often just controllable barely from the drift. Other than, when you're good at it, it's a lot more fun. It just demands a lot from you and assumes you know how to play it well. It's a very rewarding game for the more experienced players, but I can't imagine it being fun for a casual player sadly. I think it could have benefitted from a difficulty mode.… Expand

    Wiping nearly all the mistakes of Sonic '06 off its sneakers and packing plenty of positive changes of its own, Sonic Unleashed brought the franchise back to a sense of challenging, fun, but there is the commonly frustrating caveat of its uneven pacing, a certain required Sun Medal collect-a-thon towards the end, and underwhelming new characters.

Ihr könnt schön in Oia-Stadt (Griechenland) mit Sonic laufen, während entspannte Musik läuft, ihr mit ein paar Einwohnern redet und dabei ein Chili Dog esst. Und boom in nächster Sekunde seit ihr in einem Level auf 400kmh und müsst eure Präzision, schnelles Denken und eure Reaktionszeit unter Beweis stellen mit unfassbar gutem Level Design. Und nachdem dich das für die nächsten Minuten ausgelaugt hat, geht es weiter in der Nacht mit dem Werehog, wo alles um einiges ruhiger und langsamer vonstatten geht. Nicht zu langsam, aber langsamer. Hier müsst ihr feinde mit euren Kombos verkloppen, Plattformingpassagen bezwingen und erkunden. Ein perfekter Kontrast zu den sehr anstrengenden Tag Leveln und damit auch eine schöne Abwechslung, die beim Durchspielen des Spiels einen nie zu sehr überfordert und konstant an der Stange hält.

The gameplay in the daytime stages is amazing, the music is incredible, the animation is great, the environments are beautiful, and the story is solid. The sense of speed in the daytime stages is incredible, it really feels like you're truly moving at Sonic's speed. No other Sonic game has captured that feeling as well as Unleashed did, Generations comes the closest. You can boost to gain speed, but the challenge comes in maintaining that high speed. Once you memorize and get good at the stages by replaying them you can blast through them without slowing down, which a lot of Sonic games force you to do in some areas. It's fun to try to get an S rank, and you really feel like you've gotten better at the game after practicing the stages. There are many pathways you can go through in the daytime stages, and it's satisfying when you learn the best ones. The DLC levels add even more challenges and manage to be hard but still fun once you learn them. The Werehog gameplay isn't as great as the daytime gameplay, but the Werehog gameplay is still fun. You can utilize tons of combos for the best results in the Werehog stages. For example, some enemies can block your attacks, but you can break their block with a specific combo. There's an attack you can learn that can serve both as an attack and as a method to manuever through the stage quicker. There's a combo you can use in mid-air to cover more distance after jumping, which you can use to do some shortcuts. The Werehog platforming sections are fun, even though they can be a bit frustrating at some points. The Werehog stages tend to drag on at points, but it's a problem I can look over considering the quality of the rest of the game. If you go for S ranks, you'll be playing more of the daytime stages than nighttime stages. The boss fights are also great, both the daytime and nighttime ones. I especially liked the Egg Dragoon boss fight. The tension between Eggman and Sonic is shown really well in the fight, it really seemed like Eggman wanted to kill Sonic during that fight. The game has the best presentation out of any Sonic game. The animation is great, especially in the CGI cutscenes. Every character is more expressive than they've ever been, especially Sonic. Each location you visit in the game is based off of a real world location, and they do a great job at making these environments beautiful. For example, there's a country you visit called Apotos, which is based off of real world Greece. Every country has its own people, food, culture, and environment. The game does a great job at showing this off. You can buy different foods and souvenirs from all the countries. The game also does a great job at building its world. You can see how different people are connected, and some will even travel to other countries throughout the game. Almost every NPC has their own mini story you can follow throughout the game, which is really nice. The graphics look cutting edge for 2008, and still look amazing today. The story also is great. It isn't as great as Sonic Adventure 2's, but it's still a good story. Sonic and Chip's friendship develops well throughout the story. I don't want to go into too much of the story's details for those who have not played the game, but Sonic's character is portrayed greatly in the story. The voice acting in the game is great, especially Sonic and Eggman's. The soundtrack is top-notch and is probably the best Sonic soundtrack yet. If you're able to overlook its issues, Sonic Unleashed is an amazing experience that's worth trying out.… Expand

    Sonic Unleashed is a masterpiece from start to finish, the story is heartfelt tale about finding who you’re, the world building sees you travel all around the world to bring it to peace, Jason Griffith’s performance as Sonic is fantastic and the gameplay never ceases to be fun despite some pacing issues with the werehog levels.

The level design is thoughtfully put together, the soundtrack is the best in the series with so many action and emotion filled instrumentals fit for the worlds you explore. Excluding the framerate dips and minor technical problems, this is a perfect Sonic game with just enough variety, fun and thought put into it to make it replayable for years to come.… Expand

    Sonic Unleashed is an underrated gem of a game. It has outstanding visuals, great story and presentation with outstanding music and voice acting. My only issue is that the game lags on any con
    sole other than XBOX Series X/S but other than that I would highly recommend.

    Hands down best sonic game no cap. It's masterpiece in my eyes and in almost every aspect. This game deserved nowhere near the amount of hate it got and the fact that the critics did the game so dirty just boils my blood so much. Every aspect, the acting, the story, the graphics, and don't even get me started on the music, and the gameplay are all phenomenal in their own right. OnlyHands down best sonic game no cap.

    As much as I disliked lumbering through levels as Sonic’s hulky Werehog, I disliked hunting through the hub worlds looking for coins even more. Sega, if you really want to fix Sonic, the first thing you should do is stop trying to fix him.

    Ultimately, this simply isn't the fresh start Sonic fans were so desperately hoping for...but at least it's not as execrable as the last two efforts.

    Sonic Unleashed is a glorious return to true console form for Sonic.
