Product Description
Sonic is truly in a world-wide race against time... as the sun sets, a new adventure awakens.
Amazon.co.uk
Sonic Unleashed is built on a powerful new "Hedgehog Engine", which introduces seamless 3D to classic 2D camera transitions, whilst delivering a rich and expansive world with multiple paths to choose from. Under development for three years, the Hedgehog Engine produces a visually rich next generation look and feel with elements of classic Sonic gameplay mechanics. The Hedgehog engine will help re-define the gameplay experience for Sonic fans and newcomers to the franchise alike. "By combining rich and vibrant scenery with dynamic viewpoints Sonic Unleashed will provide an immersive 3D experience whilst keeping alive the 2D gameplay elements and fantastic worlds that Sonic fans know and love" commented Gary Knight, European Marketing Director for SEGA Europe. "In addition to this classic Sonic gaming experience, when darkness sets in Sonic Unleashed players will be able to experience a completely new way to play as Sonic… making this his most exciting adventure yet!" Having been broken apart by the evil Dr Eggman, it's down 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. 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! The opportunity to engage in Sonic in different ways during the day and night time levels brings a completely original way of playing to the Sonic franchise, in addition to running at high speeds in classic Sonic style, combat fighting will become possible. Super quick Sonic's speed skills will be highlighted by four new modes, whilst the all new combat, movement and functional abilities will offer depth and variety to the game. As the sun sets in Sonic Unleashed, a different type of adventure will awaken in Sonic's newest quest….

Getting there January 5, 2009
Trouble I have found with Sonic is he has not lived up to the promise in 3D like Mario or Zelda has. Thats mainly because Sonic is built on speed which is not always easy to do in 3D.
With the seamless 3D to 2D then back againe within Unleashed the game has improved a lot from the ones that have come before it. The only let down for me is the Werehog scenes and the endless cinematics in between levels and the villages.
For me Sonic is about speed and great graphics to go with it. Throw in a few rings, chaos emeralds and a Super Sonic ending and thats the whole package. If the day time scenes with Sonic was the only thing about the game it would be brilliant.
While I still like the game, there are improvements that need to be made and Sonic and the Black Knight on Wii is shaping up to live up to the promised Sonic game fans want when it is releashed in March 2009. Buy this by all means. Just not the greatest but certanly not the worst tite. Its still enjoyable if at times frustrating.

This is by far THE worst game ever invented. It is nothing like the original Sonic whatsoever. Total disappointment and waste of money, do not purchase.
I have HAD to rate this one star - I would rather leave it at 0 star...
 one of the best I seen in a long time December 21, 2008

very well mad. Fun to play but little bit hard too get that first after a few goes it's easy to play with Sonic. The Werehog are good/ok if you like beat them ups but sometime can get little bit hard and can tick you off if you keep failing. The Music with most of the game and not out of place. A good pick up to have with the Wii.
 A tremendous disappointment December 18, 2008

Having played plenty of previous Sonic games, I bought this on release weekend with high hopes, and started the game the same way. The premise of the game is that Sonic is shot by Dr. Eggman's new gadget, which turns him into a werehog when the moon comes out. Effectively, Sonic is now two different characters instead of one.
By day, it all works great. Sonic speeds around, completes a few missions, and is a joy to command. But once the sun goes down (and you'll spend at least two-thirds of your time on night levels), so does the game. The controls are frustrating, with Were-Sonic speeding away at the merest tilt of the control stick and missing jumps that he clearly should have made. Battles are a button-mashing exercise, and the enemies come only in cakewalk and overpowering varieties. You aren't told what goals you have to achieve at the start of each level. And worst of all, there's no extra lives in this entire game -- just three screw-ups on any level (most of which take north of five minutes), and you're back to the start.
I've given this two stars because the day stages give the game some redeeming value, but the night stages will have you utterly frustrated. I'd give it a miss.

I have had the chance to see this game in action before it is released - and boy does it look great. I never have been that fond of sonic games, but this game has changed my views completely. My eyes were glued to the screen.
I will say no more.
Get this game. You won't me disapointed.
