GWN Preview: Sonic Unleashed

GWN reports:

''Rather than making another 3D Sonic game with the same formula started by Sonic Adventure way back in 1999, Sonic Unleashed is a complete rebirth of the franchise that utilizes both 3D and 2D gaming styles. The 3D portions of the game puts the camera behind Sonic as he blazes down a set path similar to how he would in Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii. Unlike that game however, Sonic is actually under your total control and is not constantly moving forward. The great thing about the camera being constantly behind Sonic is that it eliminates the need for having to deal with a clumsy camera system that has always been the bane of 3D Sonic games.

When the game shifts to a 2D perspective, it's just like the traditional 2D Sonic games of yore. You blaze down a trail from left to right, collecting rings, avoiding traps, hitting speed boosters, jumping on baddies, and everything that has made the Sega Genesis and Nintendo DS Sonic games such a blast to play.''

Dedicated Sonic Fans Have Managed to Unofficially Port Sonic Unleashed to PC

Sonic Unleashed on PC? The Sonic community managed to do just that with with the fan project "Sonic Unleashed Recompiled."

PRIMORDUS360d ago

Actually the torrent is up and you do not need to own the 360 version of the game. Also it will never be taken down.

Chocoburger359d ago

Nice, I found it on 1337x! I actually liked many parts of this game, but some parts are also shitty. Its uneven, but overall a decent game.

PRIMORDUS358d ago

1337x is one of my favorite ever since the real RARBG went down. I usually only get from FitGirl or DODI.

I think it's best we leave these games we're they belong...in the past

Secret Rings, Unleashed, Black Knight etc, they weren't the best at least enough for a remaster

Generations is getting one because they had something easy to shove Shadow into before the Sonic 3 film and it's probably the better ones they've did over the past decade or so.

Unleashed was one of my favorite P3 games would love a remastered version

NSANiTY622d ago

If I have to read another one of these lists that contains the sentence "The game that started it all" I'm gonna go nuts.

And when it comes to fan favourite zones in Sonic 3 (he mentioned Hydro City, Marble Garden and Launch Base), I'd replace Launch base and Marble Garden with Ice Cap zone. Never heard anyone refer to the others as favourites.

NJShadow1332d ago (Edited 1332d ago )

I sorta' stopped caring about this list when I saw Sonic Spinball (a genuinely great game) ranked lower than some of the noted atrocities.

Pyrofire951331d ago

Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed is still my favorite kart racer.
I've never really been able to play online tho. D:
Can't even play Team Sonic Racing online cause the servers are broken and don't queue people together.
P.S. This is such a random list. I really don't agree with it. Maybe this really is how they rank it but them just seems odd personally.
