Seriously, it's bad enough they keep trying to resurrect Sonic 2-3 times a year but when you start up a game and the tutorial is broken up by 3-5 loading screens, Sonic just screams "LET ME DIE!" The first hour of the gameplay has about 20 min of loading screens. This is not to mention that the story is very used. Wow... sonic turns into a weresonic at night. Oh don't forget the amnesiac assistant that you are trying to help "find his memories." You would think they could improve the storytelling a little...... but with the times they have tried before... maybe not. Anyways, i may never rent another sonic game again. The classics are the best.

This game game is hard to sum up really it has some great qualities and some annoyances.

First of all the cinematics and over all graphics were great. the controlled were easy enough to learn.

Guess the best part of the game aside from the good storyline was the daytime missions/levels. this is where sonic goes back to old school whth some classic 2d side scrolling mixed with some 3d platform action based on breakneck speeds that made sonic famous in the first place! if the entire game was like this with level upon level i would definately buy this game.

The nighttime missions where sonic was a warehog is where i docked this game and was that it was't fun it was dispite speed was not the focus and this part happens entirly in 3d. the main problem i had with it was it should have been balanced with the day time stuff as it it is most of the mission happen at night and not enough of the speed of sonic during the day time missions. it should have been like 50/50 or 60/40 in favor on the daytime mission after all sonic is about speed!!

but the developer were on the right track in bringinf sonic franchise back around. but sonic unleashed isn't fast enough. bring us a sonic game like the day time missions with tons of levels like sonic 1 & 2 then i'll say sonic is back!

The game is worth the rent as for purchasing that where i have mixed feelings about the game does have some good qualities but the night missions get boring after awhile mainlt due to ther are so many of those than the break neck speed of the day time ones

I just wanted to say this game is awsome! I have played many Sonic games, I would not say this is the best Sonic game, but it is pretty fun. The controls are good they are much better than the controls for Sonic and the Secret Rings. I would also say that I like Day time better than Night. The graphics are very good.
