It's a shame, too, because this time more than any other, Sonic Team nearly had it. Indeed, had Unleashed shipped with a focus on polished daytime levels, IGN has no doubt that it would've been one of the best entrants in the franchise's long history. But the developer's insistence on avoiding a pure hedgehog experience at all costs has once again backfired, transforming a speedy beauty into a slow beast.

Overall -
Sonic Unleashed on PC? The Sonic community managed to do just that with with the fan project "Sonic Unleashed Recompiled."
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.
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.
1337x is one of my favorite ever since the real RARBG went down. I usually only get from FitGirl or DODI.
u gotta give the hardcore fans credit, they are committed to fix segas 3d sonic games ha.
Still remembered as one of the best Sonic games of all time, I believe it's time Sonic Unleashed gets its overdue remaster after Sonic x Shadow Generations.
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.
Sonic The Hedgehog has had a long and storied history over the past decades, but which are the best Sonic games ever made?
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.
I sorta' stopped caring about this list when I saw Sonic Spinball (a genuinely great game) ranked lower than some of the noted atrocities.
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.
You got the best version of Sonic. The way the Wii's going, 7.2 is AAA standard to the max for the win!
dammit.
I just knew it.
why do they always stray from norm we come to expect and throw at us the nighttime terror?
why Sega, why?
But noooooooooo.
Who thought of the Werewolf gameplay?
FIRE HIM, please.
1. 7.2 isn't as bad of a score as some people were expecting for this game. At least they aren't saying the game sucks ass, which is good news for the Sonic franchise.
2. I don't know. I might rent this when it comes out on the PS3 (it IS going to be on the PS3, right). The werehog thing they're complaining about actually seems intriguing to me. Seems right now that the stuff about that part that they are going on about Sega did by design not to make it suck but to make it a little more challenging to play that particular version of the character. Could be wrong, though, and it'll be so over exaggerated that it sucks anyway, but I'm somewhat interested now.
Comparing this score to the past scores of older Sonic titles, this seems like a must buy for Sonic fans.
At least it wasn't a complete flop like a lot of people were expecting. 7.2 isn't a bad score at all, it's definitely a considerable buy.
