Sonic unleashed is a difficult game to review as it has completely different gameplay and level-struct for each console.
I used to love SEGA Sonic games, though in my opinion, they have been getting worse and worse but this. This draws a line.
I'm going to keep this review short nd simple. Whether it is any better on other consoles like the Wii for instance i don't know, but this is what i have to say about the 360 version. [-] = bad comment [+] = good comment [=] = Could be both positive and negative comment
Day time Levels (Hedgehog):
- bad level design, not too bad, but the worst i've seen in Sonic games.
- Terrible for unresponsive buttons, this makes the game harder and more frustraiting.
+ SEGA has taken Sonic's speed into mind nd put it to a more of a good use, but it aso lets the game down in certain areas.
- Terrible 'homing' system. Sonic's 'homing attack' first of all has changed from pressing 'A, A' to 'A, X' which gets confusing at the start to 'classic' SEGA Sonic gamers. And also, Sonic's 'targeting' is bad. Having missing what you want him to hit alot.
+ i have to give a thumbs up to Day-time boss battle thouh.
Night time levels (Werehog)
-Terrible camera angles
-It reminds me alot of 'Tomb Raider: Anniversary' Gameplay if you have ever playing it.
+ Cool multi-combo moves you can unlock throughout the game
= Bosses are simple and easy, but we all like a challenge, right?
General
+ Good music
+ Good graphics
= SEGA have eliminated many Glitches from his game...but not all of them...
+ Interesting storyline
- Sonic and Werehog are only playable characters
- It's frustrating to have to search through level-to-level just in order to find you media (Music, artwork and film) one-by-one
I can come up with 7 bad points off the top of my head without thinking and 6 good points. I can think of 2 point which can have both a negative and/or possitive effect on the game depending on your opinion.
Overall, i rate this game 3.5
Thanks for reading
My advise, Rent this game first!
