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

These pics may or may not be for the Wii version. They're pretty nice though:

Gorgeous. Too bad this is a true picture of the 360 version. But this might give you an idea of how the Wii version looks like.

Yeah, I know its an "ugly magazine scan". But I felt like showing it because the background looks nice ^^

Here's a decent pic:

A beautiful pic from IGN. And...its from the 360 version. And again, it gives you a feel for what the wii version might be like :)

You may wanna re-consider.

Although the graphics in this game have been worked on quite a bit. They claim they've been working on the engine for about 3 years.

Some parts It looks like you just hold down the go button and watch the level play out by itself. I also heard the Werehog gameplay isnt very good. Thus I dont think it will be good

ONM UK says that the game has a great frame rate, it looks great in motion, and that the controls are awesome. Also, quit posting those gross, ancient magazine scans. There are much better screens of the game.

I'm really looking forward to this game. It's going to be great.

But like Famicommander said, stop posting those magazine scans.

Finally...someone else thinks the same thing. From what has been shown so far all I do is run left, run right, and jump sometimes. The rest of the time springs are bouncing you on a set path, grind rails direct you on a set path, your speed is so huge that any enemy just gets knocked out the way, and the homing attack just keeps you on whatever path the game wants you to take. There is nothing appealing about this game except that people can beat it without doing anything. [blah blah blah] "Sonic Unleashed will introduce a new, unexpected storyline along with innovative gameplay that is so innovative you don't have to do anything which compliments nonexistent skills and features, allowing players to experiment and engage in new ways outside their rooms while the game beats itself." "[...] the game is built on a powerful, new proprietary "Hedgehog Engine, which introduces zero abilities and some technology tailor made for Sonic's new one dimensional adventure. Under development for approximately three years, the Hedgehog Engine is smart enough to guide Sonic to the goal with little input from the player." Fix'd :) :P [spoiler] I know I'm jumping the gun a little early, but I have a feeling this game won't be anything special. [/spoiler] They think they're giving us this...

The day I can once again be excited for a Sonic game is the day I only play as Sonic.

This Werehog is garbage. All the characters is Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 that weren't Sonic were garbage. Sonic '06, Silver and Shadow were garbage. And Heroes, which was on route to being very traditional was garbage because I had to play as 3 characters at once.

If this game and the upcoming Sonic & the Black Knight do not score well, Super Smash Bros. Brawl may well be the only above-average console game Sonic appears in for the rest of this generation.

Sonic Chronicles got an 8 from Nintendo Power and a 93% from ONM. And you can't forget the Rush games.

Yes it is.

A word to all Mario and Ninty fans, That is how you do graphics and games and NOT the crap that you think pass for games in than most laughable, graphics less monstrosity of a game series Mario Galaxy and Kart! Ninty take heed, THAT IS HOW YOU DO A GAME!

I am thimking of getting both the Wii and Xbox versions.

I see you're still trolling. Too bad really, as we could have had a great conversation. I am really looking forward to this and The Black knight game, since I really liked Secret Rings.

High hopes, I've been waiting for the next good Sonic game for like 10 years now. I'll be getting it on 360, they will probably find a way to make waggle annoying in the Wii version.

Sorry :P I'll remove the second pic straight away.

And if Sega is smart, they'd make the Werehog appear in less levels because in my opinion, its really damaging the gameplay.

While the game does look nice, I really don't see why this game would turn out when previouse ones clearly didn't.

I don't see why not. I love Secret Rings and this is supposed to play a lot like that. Zero Gravity was not too good so I was really wanting some more of Secret Rings gameplay (yeah I know a sequel is coming too in the form of the black knight or whatever is it called). I still have high hopes and, really, I was not a fan of Sonic until Secret Rings, so I hope this gets as good!
