You can perform loops and run at lightning speed in this fast paced game....sometimes. The controls and a few other things have been tinkered with to make the experience as fresh as possible.
"...Yes, I think this will be the game Sonic fans have been waiting for. Sonic will be reborn in the state he always should have existed in with a new control scheme, fresh new gameplay elements, all while simultaneously returning to Sonic's roots."
Thanks, Yoshihisa Hashimoto.
Not bad. The enviorment looks alright.
The enemies.....Strange.
Lets see what Yoshi's got to say :D
"Our goal has been to polish and bring to the fore the most attractive elements of clas(censor)sic Sonic gameplay, while also adding something completely new."
Interesting...Interesting.
Lets hop onto what they call "new", shall we.
The one on the left PWEASE! Wait a minute I've got to have both!! Thank you Sega I got a Super fast dude half the time. The other half I get a Dark fatty.
Yoshi's view:
"We hope that even people who haven't played Sonic games will feel "Wow, Sonic is back!" and maybe even be motivated to buy a next-gen game console if they've been sitting on the fence," and it only gets better from there."
Yeah.... this will surely motivate people to buy a next gen system.....
Sonic even hates you now, Sega.
Anyway let's see what you the Sonic creators have to say about the story.
"Having been broken apart by the evil Dr. Eggman, it's up 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. Both day andnight play different, yet important, roles in Sonic's newest quest... as the sun sets, a new adventure awakens. 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!"
So night plays different. How different? And you're darn right that a "New" adventure awakens. I play as a hog. What the hell Sega.
At least we got these guys:
So at least we get half a good game from you.
I've got 2 quotes here. One's for what Sega's got to say about the franchise and 1 about the gameplay.
"It is an exciting time for the Sonic franchise as we look to reinvent our hero while staying true to the spirit of what made him an industry icon,"
That one's from the Vice President (VP) of Marketing at SEGA of America.
"Sonic Unleashed will introduce a new, unexpected storyline along with innovative gameplay that compliments traditional skills and features, allowing players to experiment and engage in new ways."
Yeah we do have some perks I guess. Unlike previous installments of the franchise, Sonic actually runs fast... in some parts of the game. That's the biggest perk I can think of at the moment. Enviorments are pretty good. Graphics are nice.
Speaking of graphics, this is what Sega's got to say about the enviorment and the visuals:
"Sonic Unleashed will offer a re-defined experience for fans and newcomers of the franchise alike by combing picturesque & detailed scenery, an expansive world with multiple paths to choose from and dynamic viewpoints for an immersive and renewed gaming atmosphere. Along with seamless 3D to clas(censor)sic 2D camera transitions, the game is built on a powerful, new proprietary "Hedgehog Engine, which introduces impressive lighting abilities and new technology tailor made for Sonic's new speed capabilities.Under development for approximately three years, the Hedgehog Engine will help to produce a visually rich next generation look and feel with elements of clas(censor)sic Sonic gameplay components."
That's extremely promising. Let's hope this applies to the Wii version of the game as well.
Hope I helped :D
