I think this was expected. Sonic lovers if there is many left need to buy a Wii. HarlockJC

Wow, surprising. I was expecting a 5.WAIW

wonder why the Wii version scored higher? im always hoping a good sonic game will come out and the 3.5 for the 360/ps3 version killed that dream, but maybe the Wii version in the one to get? whats the diffbigLLL

[QUOTE="Willy105"][QUOTE="SMR-Venom"] Same. I guess the better framerate and relatively good graphics helped it. The controls are also good apparently.WAIW

Say that to Tom McShea.

His standards have been lowered.

Just look at this, from his own review!

Compared to his last game:

In kinda related news, the box art for Sonic and the Black Knight has been released:

I am quite surprised that the Wii version did not get the "Annoying Characters" icon, even though all platforms did you the same cut scenes (e.g. a funny nightime scene between Amy Rose and Sonic the Werehog).

I am pleased with the better score for the Wii version, even though Sega could have created some Mazuri (Africa-like continent) stages in it as found in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.

I have it for 360 and Wii, because as a SEGA fan I had to, but also because they're different. With that said, I think the 360 version is superior. Reviews = nonsense. Btw, that Black Knight boxart is sexy, Can't wait for that! :)BioShockOwnz

why is sonic holding a sword :(MarloStanfield

The Hedgehog daytime levels are the closest that Sonic has gotten in 3D to touching the original Sonic games. There's areas Sonic has to go fast, and then there are also areas (not very many of them) when you slow down and jump around a bit, but just like in the Genesis games, where you'll have to go slow and platform a little bit. This really is one of the fastest Sonic games, but you're not forced like in the crappy speed stages on Sonic '06. You can stop, slow down, and whatever. Sonic & The Secret Rings and Sonic '06 both handled that poorly, imo, but Sonic Unleashed nailed it.

Onto the Werehog, it's either like it or hate it. Personally, I don't mind it. It's kind of like a mix between Ristar and Crash Bandicoot. I don't think it's as good as the daytime stages, but the Werehog is certainly not bad, just different. I must say that sometimes the camera can be clumsy with the Werehog, though, but it's usually only when breaking down a door to find hidden goodies in a building. The mainly linear pathways usually provide a good view of the action.

My 2 main complaints are that the camera can sometimes get iffy and the framerate can dip to 20fps or so in some areas, but neither happen a lot, and still, they're pretty minor overall.

It's not really the rebirth of the franchise, but it's getting there, and if there's a version with the same level of polish in the daytime stages, and it's 100% daytime stages, without the hub world filler stuff, I can see SEGA hitting it out of the ballpark next time. But you know SEGA, they always have to add these reject buddies in there. :P

I knew it all along, the other critics prefered the Wii version, maybe because it was developed by DIMPS(Sonic Rush games).mitu123

DIMPS did a much better job on the Sonic Rush games than on this Wii version of Sonic Unleashed, sadly. As an owner of the Wii and 360 version, I'm quite baffled by how one could think the Wii version is better. I mean, it's still good on the Wii, but the 360 version feels so much more polished to me. Maybe I'm a graphics *****. :|

I don't get it. Your guess is as good as mine. 360/PS3 versions have more Hedgehog and better graphics.

That I can guarantee 101%.

[QUOTE="Willy105"]Sonic Unleashed for Wii is a port of the PS2 game. The graphics show this all too well. It's a great way to compare graphics between a last gen game and an actual Wii game. Just look at Secret Rings and Black Knight.Lionheart08
