The "Super Mario Galaxy" of Sonic
Tonight, Cloudkirby goes hyper-speed and then destroys everything in Sonic Unleashed.
Story: The story doesn't add anything new as far as the storyline goes.
Once again, Fatty Mc Mustache Is trying to take over the world and its up to speedy boy blue to stop him. This time, however, Robotnik (Not Freakin' EGGMAN) wins and zaps all of the energy from the chaos emeralds and turns Sonic into some sort of werewolf hedgehog. Robotnik also does the long thought impossible and blows up the planet. He blew up the PLANET!! WHAT THE HELL!!!!
Then, Wolf boy gets flung to the planet below and meets some sort of imp thing, who turns out to be Sonics newest ball-and-chain helpless victim and, to spice things up, the little guy has amnesia. Go freakin' fig'.
You meet the usual cast of useless side characters along the way, but do I really need to get into that.
Gameplay:
Sonic:
The gameplay is split up into two parts. The Sonic gameplay is very much improved over any other 3D Sonic game. And, even though it looks like it, the awful control style from The Secret Rings is tossed out the window in favor for a normal control style. You can use 4 speed mechanics to help you pass these levels. The boost, drift, homing attack, and slide. These will allow you to progress faster. Also the seem-less transitions from 2D to 3D had me wondering where the hiccup was going to be. I had a blast going through those levels.
Werehog:
At night things get slower, but a HELL of a lot more destructive. If you liked Wario World for the gamecube, get ready to have a blast! The combo's you can use against these ghost-like enimies is (to coin my latest catch-phrase) Freakin'-a (awsome). The speed is still there, it's just not as fast as most sonic fans think he should be going. I personally thought he moved just the right speed for these. The platforming elements are Ok-ish but the combat is what I keep comeing back to these levels for.
Music:
I don't often mention music but, DAYMN!! Freakin'-a! Instead of crappy metal music, we get treated to ear pleasing orchestrals. I can't say anymore, you simply MUST hear this.
The Bad:
Alright, I can't really take my Chainsaw to this game, more like a Hacksaw.
The first part of the game suffers from what I call, "Kingdom Hearts Syndrome"(KHS) AKA the tutorials will be a grind for everyone.
Slight graphical glitches(it is a Wii game).
Not enough boss battles.
Thats it.
So, Cloudkirby, you master of Review-Fu, Is this a good game.
With all the praise I gave it above, you are asking me this question? Yes! HELL YES!! Any sonic fan would be pleased with this, especially when you can bypass the Wii controls with the gamecube controller (which works great).
