Before now, all we'd seen of Sonic Unleashed Wii was a bunch of pre-alpha, zoomed-in, months old Nintendo Power scans. They looked terrible. Many people thought the Wii version was going to be the PS2 version+waggle. Well, they were wrong:           Does it look incredible? No, not even by Wii standards. It's also an obvious downgrade from the 360 version. But it does look pretty good, and it would look better in motion without all the jaggies. Also, from the looks of it the Werehog sections are more than just a mindless beat 'em-up. They appear to contain advanced platforming elements. This could very well be the balance of speed, action, platforming, and puzzling that has eluded Sonic since Sonic Adventure 1 on Dreamcast.

Here's a link: http://www.sonicstadium.org/media-n-stuff/so-hows-sonic-unleashed-on-the-wii-looking#more-2146

The graphics look decent, but what I really care about is the gameplay. Hopefully it's drastically different than previous Sonic games.

I guess they have hotlinking disabled. http://www.sonicstadium.org/files/posts/2008/08/wii10.jpg There they are. Have a look while I upload them into my photobucket and fix the OP.

It's not self-progressing, if that's what you're asking. You control your movement in all four directions rather than just your speed and left/right movement.

Not bad, just a lot of jaggies, but every Wii game seems to take bad screenshots even Galaxys screens were all jaggie. And I play on a 14 inch SDTV so it hould look fine =P. The main thing is the gameplay, will it turn out good. I hope so, because it'd be another game to add to my growing list of games to get before the year is up.

I actually liked the controsl in Secret Rings more than having to move my guy forward. The on-rails type of movement in Secret Rings made the whole game feel a lot faster. Backing up sucked sometimes though, and the enemies sometimes didn't pop up fast enough to keep up with your speed, but on-rails was more fun than self-movement imo.

They look incredible! I didn't expect this at all. It's not as good as Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy, but it sure does come close!

I'm having serious doubts about Werewolf Sonic not being up to par. The whole game looks like a lot of fun.

Fortunately they're also fixing those problems in Sonic and the Black Knight, the sequel to Secret Rings. Nunchuk controlled Sonic is probably the better choice.

Yeah the texture fiiltering is non existent, still Dimps has a large role in the Wii version and I have a lot more faith in them than I do Sonic Team.

It looks all right but that's my probelm. I feel like I say that for allmost every Wii Game expect some Nintendo Games and a few others. I wish developers woud step the Graphic bar up a level.

looks very very similiar to SA1/2 graphically. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a slight upgrade for the back grounds, but other than that...this is it.

as someone else mentioned, 480i/p look terrible still.

looks like PS2 standard... obviously because it's a PS2 port. The graphics are worse than Secret Rings, but because of the Werhog I'll skip it anyway and get Sonic Black Knight next year, instead.

I think it looks good for a 3rd party game, especially the character models. But the back grounds is what I meant looked like DC games. I'm sure it'll look good in motion.

This is what Sonic Heroes looked like on PS2:  And the PS2 choked on it, hard. The game had so many glitches and frame rate drops it was almost unbearable. I'm thinking that the PS2 version of Unleashed will be a watered-down port of the Wii version, rather than the Wii version being a PS2 port with waggle.

that's what I remember Sonic Adventure looking like. I have never seen that jaggy looking game you had shown lmao. You sure that's not an early version or something from Saturn? That looks like something from the N64/PS1 era

well I must've been on acid when I first played it because I have never seen that Sonic character. That is terrible looking, and I remember the "semi" smoothness from the game I played like in the link I provided. You can't tell me those are the same "finished" games.

On a side note...maybe they are. I never finished the game because I sold my DC. It's possible it was a crappy cutscene...but I dought it.

That's not a cutscene, it's and in-game shot of the finished game. At the end of the Sky Chase, Act 2.

damn, that is terrbile looking. I still have to say the back grounds look similiar (when it comes to squareness, clearity, and detail) though. Yes, they are better looking, but it doesn't seem to be by much
