Sonic Unleashed - cr@p or sh*t?

[Treamcaster]

Have anyone tried this game yet?

Well, I did yesterday and I got pissed off. I though Sonic Team had learned their lesson since the crappy Sonic Heroes etc., but no, they decided to repeat the same mistakes. PS2 graphics are WAY worse, actually bullshit. Dreamcast graphics look awesome compared to these. I didn't like the camera nor the gameplay. I kinda enjoyed the cutscenes but I din't like the menus where we enter a few houses asking stuff to people, at least on Sonic Adventure we could wonder around with the chars through the levels...

To sum up, DC versions can't be compared to this (#)"$!, and I feel sad:shrug: to see that there are people who say this is a good game :confused: .

Cant be all that bad can it?
I am getting the 360 version next week. I don't have any great hope for Sonic games any more, for the best really.
But then again even if I open the box and find nothing but cat sick then it will still be better the last Sonic game.

I only have played 2 Sonic acts and 1 Sonic the werehog act. And my opinion thus far: the werehog SUCKS! ... if they just kept it to Sonic it would be great!

So is it actually fun at all? I figured if they got the Sonic part right there going to fuck the rest up. I really would like a fun playable Sonic game like we had in the Dreamcast days...

[Treamcaster]

Agreed. I am still dreaming with a "Sonic Adventure 3".. sniff :'(

it's a good game it's just cool to hate on sonic console games.

NO. Sonic used to be my favorite fucking game character ever. It's an appealing series, but they seriously motherfucking suck lately. No excuses. Just because Sonic 360 was sort of playable (I at least beat it) doesn't excuse the fact they promised it wouldn't suck.

A good Sonic game is possible, Sega and the fans are just retarded.

I agree to a point, it could be enjoyable but get blasted anyways, but you can't really blame people being weary.

Bullshit. There has never been a truly excellent 3D Sonic game, and if you think there has, that says more about your nostalgia/lack of experience than anything else. There are a few people here who rate SA1/SA2... how long has it been since you went back to those games? They're a buggy, ugly mess. They aren't the worst games ever, but they're nothing more than mediocre.

The cycle is right. Sega will continue to fuck up Sonic's name, the games will continue to sell well, and nothing will change.

whoa there. The wii version ALSO supports traditional controls via GC pad and Classic Controller, Mark

Thank God for that. It was the controls that really made The Secret Rings game so poor. As far as graphics and actual ideas went it was pretty nice.

So if I look at this new Sonic game as NOT being a Sonic title will I find a decent platformer in there? I hope so.

Actually Sonic Adventure 2 would have been a great game if you didn't need to play those stupid knuckle levels and the God awful soundtrack. As it is I find it enjoyable as long as I try hard to ignore that music. Sonic Adventure 1 was good for it's time but now it's quite a mess in areas. Still, I find both games gave far more freedom than anything that followed.

Welcome to the world of opinion, where no one is right and everybody disagrees.

[Barc0de]

some parts of SA1 got it right - they should make a whole game out of that, no excuses.

The last "fun" Sonic game I played was "Sonic the Hedgehog 3"

Sonic 3 + Sonic And Knuckles was aweeeesome!

That it was my friend, that it was....I almost forgot about that one...that was by far my favorite Sonic game actually, not only was it a separate game but you could backtrack with two previous games. Shame it wasn't compatible with Sonic 1, although I did see that somewhere...I may be mistaken though.

I think Sonic 1 just adds special stages, I'm not sure. I played through that a few months back on Saturn Sonic Jam, and it's so bad ass. The music and little story parts and bosses are so damn good.

Well I'll be, I knew I saw that somewhere YEARS ago...but alas you can't actually play it on the cartridge which is what I wanted to do when I was 10...too late now (I still have my Genesis, Sonic 1, and Sonic and Knuckles...but I fear they might not work being stuffed in an attic for 10 years or so)

Well, I for one enjoyed Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes and Sonic Rush all quite a lot, and I don't get why they get bashed so much. Just don't see them as what you'd like to see them, see them as what they are: good games, fans of the genre might even consider them great. I had lots of fun with all of them, but I'm a fan of the genre.

I loved SA2 on Dreamcast (and Gamecube I guess since there basically the same), although some of the music was annoying, and some of the charectars were annoying to play as, the Sonic and Shadow stages were really damn fun. Rush is absolutely awesome. Heroes was kind of fun to play, I just didn't like the other charectars and some other stuff.

I think the main problem is we never really got a Mario 64/Galaxy equivelant of Sonic. I do like SA and SA2 but still. Sonic 360 was suppose to be like that but they of course fucked it up.

Sonic Wii looks like it might be pretty cool though. I should pick that up.

I enjoyed Sonic Adventure 2 & Heroes too and played yesterday Unleahed PS2 Version.
What can i say? Its really crap.
I liked the way the storyline was in Heroes. It was easy for kids but not too much kids-style but Unleahed PS2 Version is made only for 3 - 9 Year old...
The first Part is only in typical 3rd Person Camera Style and i dont liked it. Maybe because the Controls arent good and the Graphics are like PS2 1st Generation Games. Only while the Camera changes to Sidescrolling-View (you cant manual select this, its scripted) its not bad at all but just i said before, i cant have fun with this game mainly because of the Storyline, Controls and Graphics.
The Soundtrack was annoying in the first minutes too. Not that typical fast Sonic-Beats. This time they used Orchestral-Soundtrack.
But from what i saw in Videos, the 360/PS3 Versions can make it a lot better...
