Sonic Unleashed: The Hedgehog

(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/img255.imageshack.us/img255/3258/sonicunleashedarttn9.jpeg)

Why is No-One talking About this Game? That's right, Sonic unleashed has finally Been...LOl i was gonna say "unleashed"

but let's get Serious about this. Sonic Unleashed has been released. It's time to talk about Sonic Unleashed: The Hedgehog.

The Basic Premise is that Sonic's drinking problem has gotten so severe that it has actually taken a *physical manifestation*. Normally unheard of in the Realm of science, this freak mutation becomes a danger to Sonic and all of his pals (all playable in this game: Tails, Amy, Nuckles, Robotnik, Speedy The Hedgehod). So yip you better believe Sonic turns it up to 11 and starts doing what he does best aaaaaalllll over again. I don't know about you fellows but I'm Very excited about finding out what Lies in Store for sonic and his pals. but I know, I know, "Jamicus, jamicus - we KNOW - but how about that gameplay?"

Don't worry, the gameplay is there. You're almost guaranteed to find some of the most gameplay you've ever seen in a game if you play this, uhhh you basically can't avoid if (even if you want to!!!! haha j/k). sound, graphics, music - it's all in here and you've got the value for money so you Can have a Nice Rest. I was skeptical at first, too. I needed to see the evidence. Well, here's your Freakin evidence, buddy:

So watch what you say about Sonic, because don't think I'm not listening.

Although one this is - did there really need to be as much swears in this? Seriously. I mean I wrote in a letter to Sonic Headquarters after the last game but It looks like they just ignored my advice. I actually had to press mute sometimes it got so bad. But yeah, you can do that and then the game is just perfect the only downside is you can't hear the OST. That's okay though, I had bought the Collecters Edition before the game's release and i just set the appropriate track to play with each level.

I read somewhere that there is a scene where sonic speedruns through a pedestrian crosswalk and runs through a group of schoolchildren. Apparently that wasn't very good to the schoolchildren...

I really don't know if I'm going to pick this game up. The excessive violence and alcohol abuse with one of my favorite old school videogame characters is a little too much for my tastes.

i think it'd look better if it was an entirely "Sonic the hedgehog" platformer with that 2d/3d effect without all that stupid werewolf bullshit

What's Speedy the Hedgehog? Also the werewolf concept is gay, and it looks even worse in the game.


Could've sworn there was a topic about this like a year ago and everyone said the werewolf thing was gay.

Great games

The next meme right here, The Mario Brothers have Malleo and Weegee, this sonic will be henceforth known as...



I have never played this game, but I have no qualms saying how much I hate it.

Wait, so there is MORE cussing in a Sonic game?  And Unleashed, no less?  "Where is that DAMN Chaos Emerald" from Shadow in the 2006 game was pretty lame let alone everything else.  I know Sonic has attitude but... come on. :P  Anyway, I've played a bit of this, the werehog levels aren't bad, but they are just so long, which I guess makes sense because you aren't zooming by everything, but they really didn't do a very good job of balancing day vs. night gameplay.  Even worse on the PS2/Wii versions is that two of the levels were cut.  It's a fun game though, and as far as console Sonics go it's the best we've had in quite some time.  TRU is running a pretty awesome deal this week and depending if we get a certain game back in stock or not I may opt for Unleashed for my Wii purchases.

Looking forward to seeing how Black Knight shapes up though.  While flawed, I did enjoy Secret Rings and Black Knight is based on a similar premise.

Pirated this for my soft-modded Wii... glad I didn't pay $50 for it. I haven't gotten too far yet but from what I've played the controls feel sort of clunky to me... I don't feel like I have any control over Sonic unless I'm in the 2D mode. The controls were fine in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2... not perfect but better than this imo. Can you even spindash in this game? If you can, you surely can't do it in the beginning which is sort of lame. At least the graphics are really good for a Wii game.

Oh, this I know, just commenting on the possibility that they once again have characters in a Sonic game swearing for "emphasis" or some crap and how ridiculous that was in past games.

"The Sega Mega Drive (メガドライブ, Mega Doraibu?) is a 16-bit video game console released by Sega in Japan in 1988, North America in 1989, and the PAL region in 1990. Mega Drive was the name used in Japan and Europe, while it was sold under the name Sega Genesis in North America,"


unless you don't get it Alec, Mega Drive == Genesis


gj sir

are you sure? my cousin had a Megadrive in India it looked nothing like a Genesis. maybe it was a weird aesthetic decision?

Sonic 2, 3, and Sonic & Knuckles will always remain my favorite Sonic games of all time...

that was probably the master system

And if it wasn't the Master System, it was probably the first Genesis model. There were 3 and the first one looks like this:

Genesis is the american version of the Mega Drive. Everywhere except the US its called megadrive, but the copyright pixies made them change the name in america. Also I think they mucked up the design or something in america (just like how the US version of the SNES looks absolutely horrendous compared to everywhere else)

Also the Mastersystem Sonic games were madeafter the Mega Drive ones. Kinda like how games are still comming out for the PS2.

i am talking about the genesis which is also known as the megadrive. you're probably referring to the master system which is sega's 8-bit console and competitor to the nes. please do your research before posting
