    The Daytime are very fast and awesome especially on the new Hedgehog Engine by Sega.The Nighttime stages are a very important asset to the game. They may have a slower tempo but the stages are very large and interesting.The music once again beautiful especially the final boss theme. It is a very great game at heart and you should by it.

    Sonic Unleashed is an awesome game. No, that's not going to be the ENTIRE review. But let me explain why. Firstly, the day stages. Every review I've seen praises these stages greatly, since they are reminicent of the good old 90's Sonic games. Addtionaly, Griffith's voice has improved. Massively. As does Amy Palant's Tails voice. Now, he sounds like a boy. Sonic Unleashed is an awesome game. No, that's not going to be the ENTIRE review. But let me explain why. Firstly, the day stages.

Yes, they are repetitve and yes, can be annoying. But there is a ton of ways you can complete the stage. Trying out new combos, finding stuff, and all that jazz. Also, Chip. Another downer. But, actually, on the 360 version, you rarely hear him. Not that it's a good thing. Chip is a great addition. All in all, Sonic Unleashed shows one thing. Sonic is back and better than ever, after a 7 year 'break'. Fingers crossed for Black Knight, eh? Expand

    A much better game than the reviews suggest. Loads of secrets and replay value, fantastic graphics and music. If you love sonic you'll love this. Hell, you may even learn to like the Werehog.

    This game is nearly perfect. It's only flaw is the medal hunting. You have to roam around the hub worlds and levels searching for more sun and moon medals to advance to the next level. The problem is that they're unnecessarily hard to find. Another (minor) flaw is that the difficulty of this game spikes dramatically about halfway thorough.

    This game is just amazing! Much better than reviews suggest. Just perfect, with the best of Sonic gameplay + God of War gameplay + Awesome music + Amazing Graphics + and a very good story. Sonic Unleashed is classic, and a great reason to love Sonic series.

This was Jason Griffith at his greatest folks. Sonic was super duper fast in this game and featured quick time events. The quick time events didn't bother me one bit but they were really easy. I think this game is worth a shot if you enjoy controlling Sonic at high speeds and love a plat forming. Don't let big time critics fool you, this was one OUTSTANDING game. You should give it a try.

    I really do not see why no one likes the Werehog. I think that it's great the Sega has finally added something NEW to a Sonic game. The controls and camera are perfect, the story is great and, well, absolutely everything in it is awesome!

    Whoever said Werehog sucked should not said that. Unleashed is the game that saved Sonic after 06 and that is in my opinion second best modern Sonic. After Generations of course.

IF your on the wii version you can complain. there is too much were hog and to little move variety. and the sonic ring boost meter really just upgrades it's self. there is no use for upgrading it at all. just get the xbox version.

    This game is quite undervalued by the metascore, and shows that the specialized press does not really know what rating to assign to the sonic games, since this is the basis to create sonic generations. It should have a higher note, simply because it is base. Also because it's not a bad game, we might even consider it pretty good.

    Sonic Unleashed on the Xbox 360 is a great game. After Sonic Next-Gen, Sonic Team needed a game that would give people a reason to care about Sonic. And boy, did they deliver.

    Sonic Unleashed on the Xbox 360 is a great game. After Sonic Next-Gen, Sonic Team needed a game that would give people a reason to care about Sonic. And boy, did they deliver.

    Sonic Unleashed is a gorgeous game. It looks spectacular, with magnificent scenery, character designs, lighting, shading, animations, all that. The sound is clear and crisp. It looks like a game that would be made for PS4 and Switch. This is still the best-looking Sonic game, even after almost 10 years.

    The level design in this game is great. In both Sonic and Werehog levels, every level is well-designed and fun. Everything is placed in an absolute perfect spot. Sonic's gameplay is based on boosting, and the Werehog's gameplay is based on combat and puzzle solving; despite this, both characters have a good amount of platforming to do. All levels are well-designed and are really fun to speedrun. I must have played Windmill Isle Act 2 at least 100 times and I'm still not sick of it.

    Sonic's standard controls are really good. I think it was actually a good idea to make X the homing attack instead of A, but I know why they changed it back. The Werehog also has great control. Making the trigger the run button was pretty smart because then I can run at any time and still press nearly any button I need. I'm not sure why the Werehog can't go faster up poles when the triggers are held, but eh.

    Both forms of Sonic have a wide range of abilities. Sonic can jump, boost, homing attack, slide, or breakdance. (I'm not kidding. Stop in place and double-tap B.) The Werehog can jump, double jump, climb or shimmy along walls, punch, kick, block, run, unleash, and more. All of these abilities, along with upgrades, which I will mention later, make the game fun and refreshing.

    Aside from the abilities the character had at the beginning, there are 2 types of upgrades for both Hedgehog and Werehog.
    The first is new abilities. Sonic the Hedgehog can gain new abilities by finding various pairs of shoes in hub worlds. These shoes can allow Sonic to stomp, wall-jump, or do the light-speed dash. Stomp is performed by pressing B in the air; Wall jumping is done by repeatedly pressing A while on a wall. The light-speed dash is done by pressing Y in front of a trail of rings. All of these are great additions and work exceptionally well. The Werehog can gain new abilities by upgrading his combat abilities at the end of a level. There are tons of them to learn and unlock.
    The second type of upgrade is an upgrade to pre-existing abilities. At the end of each level, Sonic can take the EXP he's gained and apply it to either his normal or werehog self. Sonic has 2 abilities to upgrade and the Werehog has 6, I think. You can upgrade one ability a ton and leave the other behind, or you can upgrade them all equally. It's up to you. They all add to the game to make it faster and more fun. It's also easier to get S-ranks when your characters are fully upgraded.

    You can tell this game is incredibly polished. All of the abilities, all of the levels, all of the characters, all of the enemies, all of the animations, all of the features, all of the items, everything. They all show a very high level of polish. I've played this game for 15 hours or more and I've never encountered a bug. If a game can implement all of these features in a smart, simple way with no issues, you can tell Sonic Team really cared about this game. And that's why this game gets a 10.

    Oh, and Eggman has a Dreamcast. Gotta love the Dreamcast.

The music is also one of the best in the sonic franchise. The critic reviews were, in my opinion, quite biased about the game - while I accept the fact that the reviewers didn't like Werehog sections, the graphics, music (sound), and the presentation (story) were all excellent and definitely deserve a good rating.

    Underrated Sonic Game of All time. It doesn't deserve terrible reviews just because it isn't what they wanted. Onto the review, The graphics are the best in the series, but bad framerates in the most beautiful levels. Modern Sonic is on point, with speed and level design. And the werehog, even if it wasn't needed was executed well. Other than that the game is amazing.

If you like Werewolf stories you will definitely love this. Because in this game you get three different gameplay styles. The first one is the basic fast platforming, the other one is the night themed Werehog fighting gameplay and the last one is exploring around a place if you like that. So yeah Sonic Unleashed is probably one of the best Sonic titles to this day. Expand

    SEGA should port it to PC and next gen consoles

    I will 100% love the game more and also it will always be my number 1 sonic game ever!

    The music is an absolute banger!

    The werehog stages of exploration is amazing but 1 problem is, its too stretched and also long but hey it doesn't affect my fun time because it is still awesome! Hidden areas in werehog stages is fun! we learn more and more about the stages

    I give this game a 10/10

    3 The Story
    The Story is Great like it has the best opening in any sonic game ever and how it leads up to is good with Sonic and Chip going to all these Places
    4 The Gameplay
    The Gameplay has 2 Different Styles it has Sonic with the boost and The Werehog with its Brawl Sections o Think there poth Perfect (Especially The Boost) and its fun ahd Levals are from 3-6 mins long with the boost when with the werehog it wpuld take 8-20mins but its still fun

    Too bad it didn't get the praise it deserved at the time, only now people started to understand what a masterpiece Unleashed is. At least this is better that nothing.
    And for all the people gave it a negative review, well, if you can't play a Sonic game then don't. It's only your problem. Go play some stupid interactive movies instead. Just sayin.
    In conclusion - do not listen to the braindead people when making an opinion about Sonic Unleashed, go and try it for yourself, and if you didn't like it doesn't mean the game's bad, it means only that you don't like this type of games.

However, at night, sonic turns into a werehog and loses his speed. Instead, he is given an abundance of strength used to kill the dark gaia enemies spawning in stages at night. Also, he is given an better platforming controls and exploration. The exploration technique allows him to collect sun and moon medals across each stage. The medals are a vital part in the game and are used to unlock stages in the game to progress further. Anyway, the night stages also have amazing level design too. Another thing about the werehog is that he has RPG elements. This allows him to upgrade his life bar, his strength to become stronger, his combat to learn new moves, his shield to make that stronger (I wouldn't upgrade it until near the end of the game) and his unleash mode to make that last longer. His unleashed mode makes him faster, stronger and invincible. Daytime sonic also has RPG elements too. One to upgrade his speed and the other to increase his boost bar. And finally, the hub worlds. The hub worlds are beautiful. The stages are inspired from different countries here on earth. Like Greece, Italy, Africa, Antarctica, China, Saudi Arabia and tropical islands. There are medals in hub worlds as well. They are more1 slow than stages. Here you can chat to the locals and buy stuff from the shop. Sonic unleashed is the best game I have ever played and the best looking game too. Expand

    There is also the fact that the collection of sun and moon medals is mandatory, so you can access the levels, which is not a very good point either, but because this game has several other very positive points, such as the excellent graphics with beautiful visuals. provided by the hedgehog engine, the great "hub worlds", the cutscenes both in "CGi" and in the game are very well done (especially the intro of the game), the great voice acting of the characters especially the sonic, and a fantastic story containing an epic beginning and an epic and exciting ending make the mistakes the game has almost imperceptible.
    And I hope that the next game will bring an experience equal or better as it was with Sonic Unleashed, and one more thing......... SEGA, BRINGS THE PC PORT OF THIS GAME PLEASE!!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sonic Unleashed is the kind of game that you'd want to get into if you want a world building adventure-esky feel, especially if you are a Sonic fan. This is a spoiler review so am gonna touch up things on the story, game-play, and how the game immerses you into the story line.
    Eggman is at it again with his giant space armada floating in space. Sonic appears out of no where and begins to easily destroy all of Eggman's mechs, Eggman somehow manages to catch the blue blur but this time Sonic has all the emeralds and begins to destroy all hundreds of his space ships. Just when Sonic won, Eggman traps Sonic and drains all the power from the chaos emeralds and uses the energy to fire a massive beam down on earth causing the world to split apart into 7 parts. Causing a God to wake up from his slumber prematurely, thus releasing all of his negative energy into the world. Sonic the Hedgehog accidently absorbs some of the bad energy and turns into the werehog. Eggman sends Sonic flying down on earth along with the drained chaos emeralds. Sonic survives the fall and meets a new little creature which seems to be unconscious. After Sonic wakes the little animal up it seems to have amnesia so Sonic promises to help find its memory and also stop Eggman while his at it. There are plenty of plot twists in the story but I cannot stress how good the game-play is. The game is split into two game play styles. Day stages- when the sun rises up Sonic becomes normal again. Night stages- when the sun goes down Sonic turns into the werehog. The day stages are the highlight of the game and achieves the massive satisfaction of speed and platforming which the entire series is known for. The night comes and Sonic turns into the werehog and his speed is replaced with a much more in depth combat and precise platforming. It is a well designed gimmick which changes what Sonic is known for and while it does break the peace a little bit, it's definitely a fun and well designed game-play style. There are also hub worlds which are fully fleshed out and add dynamics into the world building environment, it works really well. Sonic Unleashed is a blessing to the Sonic franchise and there are many people who would gradually back me up on this, the user ratings tell you why. You can never to wrong with Sonic Unleashed as it is magnificent and enjoyable. It's very immersive and the Visuals/graphics are great, a little too great, the game is amazing!

    +OUTSTANDING MUSIC(its sonic nothings new here)
    +this game has one of the best sonic stories of all time. its a good mix of serious tone and cartoony. it
    fits well for everyone

    there is 2 negative thing tho
    - sometimes the day time stages(normal sonic) are too just they last 1-2 minutes
    -the framerates are really bad sometimes they barley reach 30 and even 15 in some sections in the ps3 version due to the graphics
    -the medals are sometimes hard to find but it provides exploration so its a bit of a mix mix for me. at first i struggled to find the medals but remember to explore the hub and in the night stages as those are the times you have full freedom to look around

    I give it a solid 95/100

It just gets better every time. So much heart, so much passion, so ahead of it’s time, so fun, so much replay-ability, so heartfelt, so charming, it’s unexplainable the feels I get while experiencing this game. I had never made a meta critic acc, but after the abomination that was Colors ultimate, it just makes me want to see Unleashed at least get recognized, just once. I want my voice to finally be heard about this game, about how it was so disrespected by critics, and by Sega itself. It makes no sense man, it was so ahead of it’s time, and was an EXTREME improvement over 06 (Even though that’s my 3rd fav game in the series behind Unleashed and Heroes). I really hope, if unleashed does get remastered, that it gets the respect it deserves. I hope they don’t ruin the game like they did colors, even if colors was already a severely mediocre title. They need to put their time in a remaster, and put in just as much heart as they did for the original, that would bring me, and many other fans, so much happiness. For the original, easily a 10 out of 10, 100 out of 100, my favorite game of all time. It just brings so much joy, seeing sonic actually be a cool character instead of being a cocky, unfunny, stupid dickhead like he is now. And seeing Sonic Team be ambitious. I miss those days, those days were the best man. Hopefully Sega takes a different approach with upcoming titles, and gives Unleashed the respect it truly deserves. Expand

    Side quests are present in the beautiful hub worlds you explore and keep yourself indulged in the universe of Unleashed. Sun and Moon medals are fun collectables although regretably vital for progression so for a first playthrough may require backtracking for some.

    My only gripe with the game is there is very little in terms of unlockables for completing the game, although this was okay since i just felt satisfaction from doing this myself.

    The story is somewhat good, the graphics make this still one of the best looking sonic games to date, and the day time boost stages are so good i replay them simply for fun to this very day.

Sagt das mal Zelda Twilight Princess. Jokes bei Seite, Unleashed ist bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten fast perfekt. Deshalb fangen wir auch damit an. Die BENÖTIGTE hohe Anzahl an Medaillen, zum durchspielen, ist einfach zu hoch. Bei erstem, wie auch bei öfterem durchspielen kann das echt nervig werden. Auch sind die FPS echt sehr unstabil und gering bei diesem Spiel. Es laggt halt und kann vor allem in der PS3 Version sehr nerven. Deshalb spielt bitte einfach die XBOX Series X Version für den maximalen Spielspaß. Aber jetzt zum positiven. Die Story, die Charaktere, die Grafik, das Gameplay, die Replayibility, der Werehog, der normale Sonic, das Feeling und noch viel mehr. 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.

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

    One of the best Sonic games I've ever played! Mechanics needed a bit of fine-tuning which happened in Generations but still a fantastic game! :>

    This is the best Sonic Game ever made. Even though some stuff is messy, its an awesome game. Would love to see a remastered.

    Night-time stages gave the game charm imo
    Daytime stages are also great, and i liked Tornado gameplay

  1. 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.
  3. Sonic Unleashed is a glorious return to true console form for Sonic.
