Unfortunately, this is the very thing thats going to divide players opinions about the hedgehogs latest outing. In many ways, duality plays a big part in the game. Switching back and forth between his new beefy form and his plain old self as the sun rises and falls, Sonic joins old pals in globetrotting to restore power to the gems and put the world back together.

The beam awakens Dark Gaia, cracks the planet surface like a giant jigsaw puzzle, whacks out the Chaos Emeralds, and transforms Sonic into a werehog. In one fell swoop, Eggman catches Sonic in an energy beam that blasts down to the plant. Of course, this lasts about five seconds. Eggman and gets him to agree to put an end to his nefarious ways. After explosively battling his way through an armada of ships containing evil robots and massive munitions, Sonic confronts Dr.

Its packed with plenty of action to setup the plot for Sonic Unleashed. The other half, while interesting, is a sizeable disappointment. Sonic fans that have been itching for more of a successful return to the form of the classic games will get half of their wish granted in Sonic Unleashed. Throwing unnecessarily sluggish platform aspects into a game that prides itself on speed tends to muck up the entire design. Being able to curl up into a spiky ball, build momentum, and literally blast through levels in a furry blur set it apart from other games of the time and established Sonic as a tour-de-force. When the original game came out years ago, it was competing with lots of other titles with stronger platforming elements. Most will agree: the foundation of what makes Sonic the Hedgehog games so fun is the speed.

Sonic Unleashed is a mixed bag that will please some fans and greatly anger others. That may very well be, but the series still has further to go before it once again attains greatness. Youd think tinkering with the formula enough would eventually produce a winning result. That hasnt stopped the Dimps and the Sonic Team from attempting to introduce new gimmicks in a bid to solve design flaws plaguing previous console entries in the time-worn series. The speedy blue hedgehog has had a bit of a bumpy transition from the 2D days of old to more modern 3D adventures.
