Keep Sonic on that short leash you got him on. Not a fanboy review
User Rating: 6 | Sonic Unleashed WII
Sega doesn't seem to have him on a short leash they just seemed to let him be unleashed. Was that a good thing? Sort of. Let's start with the good. Real fun fast stages which really trend back into the ol school sonic games, you know when they were good, and hard....god I could never beat them. Anyways the speed Sonic goes at makes it for a some what intense feel but feels a bit numbed down controls. Shake my wii remote for a speed boost? Not really the kind of action I was going for since that's how you'll attack some peeps and some times it won't register and you'll get the biggest sigh ever cause you end up just watching your self fall to the ground and trying to bring your speed back up. But that's there the game really shines. If only they were only and the stages they play on weren't so repetitive. They show the same stage for every level it seems but they are very pretty are very detailed. Then the downfall. The werehog. They should have just called it a werewolf and be done with it. It's just another lame attempt at sounding funny and stupid on SEGA's part. They really should put controls in reviews cause if I knew you had to swing your arms like an idiot just to punch, I would not have got this game. So here's how it goes. You got the Wii remote and nunchuck in your hand and you to a left punch you swing the nunchuck and then to continue that combo you have to swing the wii remote. AND you must do so to keep that combo going otherwise you swing left again you get a slow clunky combat system. It's not so bad with the classic controller or the GC controller with alternating X and Y on the classic and R and L on the GC. Here is where the two things really get to me though. When fighting there is no lock on. Thats right, I said it. No lock on. In this day and age you would think there was a lock on system with a combat system like this. In crowds it's ok and somewhat fun cause your bound to hit everyone. When theres one monster thing your bound to miss and miss alot. The monsters are faster than normal Sonic and your slower than Ike in Brawl yes I went there. The other thing is the swinging, I can't seem to "grasp" the concept of this cause you have to hold on the button or jump off or something and It's just weird and you end up falling to your death because of it. So this game is by no means worth a buy. Maybe you can rent it and beat it and satisfy some nostalgia within a week. I'm giving Sonic one last try. You hear me Sonic! Sonic and the Black Knight better be good.
