My Sonic Unleashed (Wii) thoughts and my rating

[MarioMitch5984]

Well I just finished playing Sonic Unleashed for my Wii and I gotta hand it to SEGA. They did a great job getting our blue blur back up to speed. I sure am glad I get to control where Sonic runs instead of him running one direction.

I can make Sonic run back to an area (if I can) I missed to get a certain item or secret path. I found out also that if you do go on these special paths you will find some goodies.

Now out of all the Day levels of Sonic Unleashed I would have to say my favorite levels to run through were

Abadat, Spagonia, Eggmanland, and Chun-Nun


My least were Hasoka and Shamar. Those levels didn't give very much free roam and some of the enemies really got me mad.

I didn't really care about Abatos since that level isn't very fun since it's just the intro course with two levels for day.

Now for the night stages of Sonic Unleashed.

I do have to say those levels were fun to get a bit of brawling in there but....some of those levels were hard.....such as Abadats Restless Coastside where you had to jump on planks to get across without falling in the whirlpools.

I also did look at gameplay videos of the XBOX360/PS3 versions and I have to say....they suck. I perfer the Wii version since they aren't as dark to play in like in the XBOX360/PS3.

Now for the unlockables.

The concept art really interested me since some of the art acually is part of some of the levels in the XBOX360/PS3 versions. i do have every concept art piece.

For the music....I LOVE IT!!!! But I have only these as my favorites:

Endless Possibilities
You are my friend *you hear this song during the credits*
Spagonia Rooftop Run
Abadat Jungle Runaway
Chun-Nun Dragon Road (Day)
Super Sonic vs Perfect Dark Gaia (this is an instrumental version of Endless Possibilities)
&
The Dragoon, boss day, and Eggmanland Day themes.

Out of all the songs these are my favs.

For the movies well you unlock all the cutscenes that take place in your adventure but.....there is one that doesn't. If you want to spoil it look in the spoiler:

Spoiler

Sonic and Chip are in Chun-Nun fighting over the last garlic (seen in Wario-Ware) and this is from the japanese version of the game but you can unlock it in the final mission after you unlock every gaia gate and every item.

I do have laughs in some of the cutscenes though. Oh I have them all too.

As for the secret documents they aren't really a big help unless you can't find an item. Only a few of the documents will help you find those items on the levels.

For my final word as this was another Sonic game that I beat since the first one on the Sega Genisis my final score out of 10 would be.....

8.7/10

Reason is I gave the game this score was because I wanted more levels such as Empire City and Mazari. I wanted to race through those soooooooooo bad.

Thanks for taking your time to read this

i must say this game isvery entertaining. this one little creatire sonic befriends at the beginning has a thing for chocolate. every time i see him offer some chocolate i always say to myself laughing "lmfao what is with this guy annd chocolate?" if you play this game youwill knowwhat im talking about. as adorable as he is, he really is a ditz.

now back on track the game is over all fun but it is rather hard in some areas i agree and thats all i have to say. my rating a 10.0 only because i think sonic PWNS!

XD I knew you would say something like that ;)

lol, if the Sonic Unleashed wii/ps2 gets 8.7 from you I guess the Xbox/ps3 version Would get a 9.3!! Don't you realize the wii and Ps2 got enormously ripped off on this game, it was even made by different teams, just the Wii/PS2 team got some of the Xbox/Ps3 teams stuff (Cutscenes...).

Have you seen the Cutscene when tails was surrounded by enemies and then sonic showed up and ALL the enemies are gone out of thin air. There must of been a missing battle or Cutscene somewhere and the Xbox/PS3 version has it.

I would give a 7.3 for the wii/PS2 version and 8.5 for the XBox/PS3 version.

EDIT: I don't own the game, but my friend owns it. He let me play quite a few of the levels with th GCN Controller and he says its almost Impossible to play with the wiimote and nunchuk. Exagerating a little bit...only a little...

I dont care if the wii/ps2 version got ripped off, cause those two versions still have the spped and (my opinion) better controls. To me it also doesnt matter since im gettin a 360 soon. I also think the wii version has sharper graphics.

But anyway Sonic was really brought to speed in this game instead of using physics like in the old games. The werehog was annoying in the beginning but i got used to him and i started to like playing as him, i wasnt so fond of the leveling up system for him but it did make sense since it was the werehog's first appearance unlike sonic needing to continually learn the same moves in each game after one another. I only kno how to do thsi in the wii version but during the countdown to start sonic's day stage if u shake the wiimote he goes into a spinball but for it to have and effect with his begininning speed it has to be done at the end of 1.

Overall i kno i didnt give really any facts mostly opinions but the game gets a 9.0 from me

[90HeroMAXD]

I still have big doubts about this game. I understand its your review and your opinion so i am not going to lecture on anything that you are wrong or anything


but when i first saw the Sonic Unleashed trailer I was really amazed, until the Werehog thing came along then to me it was "oh....another gimmik way to go Sonic Team....yay....." When i saw the first cut-scene they never really did describe how Sonic became a werehog even Eggman didn't say anything. So I was just dumb founded. The plot seemed to obvious to where it was going. So i just turned aside the game.

I still think Secret Rings is the closest thing to the orignal Sonic game....no Sonic Advance sticks with the orignal way Point A to B thats it. A 3 had a gimmike making it (to me) less like an original, but you also have to look at the fact that not all games should be at its original concept.
So i congradulate Sega(or Sonic team) for trying very hard to return Sonic to his Blue Blur days.

This game was awesome in my opinion and way better than the secret rings one. I would give a 8.5/10 cause it was pretty short but entertaining and that Chip dude was hilarious with his choclate offering to almost everyone or everything, I was cracking up when he offered it to that Phoenix bird and the bird took it xD.

I've ben thinking why they've changed Sonic so much and i think because they keep making new ideas and new places for him to run through but there has to be a creative storyline to fit those new places. They pretty much tryed tokeep away from the Mario thing were all you do is collect things and move on through levels. In this case it would be Sonic running around for rings searching for the chaos emerald and destroying eggman's plans like in the Sonic advance games. SO they added new things so the whole new sonic game woudl go smoothly. IF they just kept sonic running game after game just running through levels trying to beat the time it woud get tiring like the mario games were all you do is get stars and save the princess. Its pretty much like traveling around the world, you'll be bound to do new things as is the Sonic games. He's pretty much running through new places and has to adopt to new things to go along the way.

i think what ur saying is true with what Sega is tryin to do with Sonic but we hear all these rants of why sonic has gone downhill because people are probably not ready to try new things with sonic. As long as sonic still runs, collects rings and chaos emeralds(or whatever the storline is based on collecting instead of emeralds), and beats Robotnik aka Eggman im fine with the game.

Yeah true that dude true that :D Sega just needs to find a better way to introduce new things without changing the original story that much.

But the unleashed storyline wasn't that bad it kinda makes since, Sonic got mutated by eggman while trying to ruin his plans its reasonable.
