Sonic Unleashed for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

You may be asking you a few questions.

1. Is this better than Sonic '06?

2. Is the Warehog as moronic as he looks?

3. Should I rent this?

This game is definitely better than the other Sonic game on the 360. They seriously took some time into making something that felt sort of like Sonic Adventure with a little bit of the old Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog.

You have a world map that is very small and not hard to get lost in. You have the Earth which will link you to different countries on different continents. Then in a Country you have a small area where you can buy things of the sort and talk to people of that country.

Then you have the 'ACT's

If the time of day is during the morning you play as the normal Sonic the Hedgehog as you blast through levels that are a mix of what you saw in 'Sonic and the Secret Rings' however it isn't played as a rail mission like Secret Rings. You have the new 'boost' option that is like the spin dash on steroids. Makes the levels more enjoyable, even when it gets into the classic 2D segments. If the game was just purely the day levels it might have gotten a 10 in some places.

If the time is night you play as Soinc the Werehog in a pretty generic God of War ripoff. Now the combos and all of that sort is pretty good and neat. However Werehog is quite slow while walking and when he is running he can't do much else. Plus the levels tend to be quite long at points and with too many platforming elements that tend to be very frustrating. I think if they would have just focused more on the mindless destruction element it would have gotten a better score.

Boss Fights are amazing. Except for the Egg Cauldron that you are forced to fight in the Plane missions every boss fight is very enjoyable and are fun to fight more than once.

This game definitely deserves a RENT if you are looking for something that is a hybrid of Old and New School
