Thats right a new Sonic game. Sonic Unleashed is a brand new Sonic adventure that will hopefully reinvent the series or leave it a bigger mess than it was orignally. The Official US website has gone live with some interesting tid bits regarding the game and the story.
Unlike last time when Sega made a Sonic game for the
Wii and a separate one for the Xbox 360 and PS3, this one title will span across all four of the major platforms out now including the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and
Wii. Gameplay wise, the title seems to be taking notes from Sonic Rush and Sonic and the Secret Rings, with both of these games' gameplay elements evident in this title. As you play, the game will flip from 2D Sonic styled game play to 3D Sonic as you rush through a bunch of huge colourful levels. Below is our first look into the storyline behind this game:
"Having been broken apart by the evil Dr. Eggman, it's up to Sonic to put the pieces of the world back together again by retrieving the power of the chaos emeralds! In doing so, Sonic will find himself in a race against time and faced with an unusual situation that will challenge him in ways never before seen. Both day and night play different, yet important, roles in Sonic's newest quest... as the sun sets, a new adventure awakens. By completing a wide variety of action-packed stages, spanning the seven broken continents of the world, gamers will need to unleash Sonic's amazing abilities to save the world, and himself!"
Yes, apparently the Earth gets broken apart by Dr. Eggman. I guess we'll need to wait for E3 until be can get a better look at this game. Below are some links including a BRAND NEW trailer that was shown off with the site as well as a new character art of the blue rodent.
