The graphics are great. Has real nice scenery. The daytime levels are the best ones. The Night times levels can be tricky to complete. Sonic Unleased can be a fun game once you get the hang of it. If you played Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, and Shadow the hedgehog all the way through and 100% those games, Sonic Unleashed shouldn't be a problem playing. Now I played this game with a Nintendo Gamecube controller. The gamecube controller I think is the better way to play the game because it has a cord and you wouldn't have to worry about your battery dying. Not to mention that I think that the wii controllers and nanchokes suck. Mostly because you have to hold them towards the sensor bar. What was Nintendo thinking when the designed the Wii back when they first released the console?Read full review

Dr. Eggman is taking another attempt at ruling the world and this time he has prepared for Sonic the Hedgehog. Eggman catches Sonic and the chaos emeralds to drain them of their power. What happens to Sonic is unexpected. Sonic is now a were-hedgehog. Eggman then dispatches Sonic and the powerless emeralds in to outer space only to crash in to the planet as the planet begins to split apart. This game has been called Sonic Adventure 4. It returns Sonic and his friends to a simpler time where there is a minimum amount of blather to move the story along and the rest is completing some levels in a manner related to the different characters special talents. The difference this time is that Sonic is the only playable character, as in the first Sonic Adventure game, but he has his speed form and his power form. In Sonic’s speed form, it is the classic run, jump and attack aspects we all know and love. There are a few new additions, such as speed boosting and power sliding. In Sonic’s power form, he is the were-hedgehog with some anamorphic abilities that allows him to stretch parts of his body. In addition, the were-hedgehog levels include a large sum of fighting and uses various combos that gain power as the game goes on. As with how technology advances, the Sonic games improve. The graphics and animation are better than ever. The sounds of the world are very familiar and there is a lot of new music. The voice acting is again done by the same people who voiced the 4Kids Sonic X animated television series. Some players may be disorientated with the switching between the normal and were-hedgehog modes. It does take some time to get used to it. Another new feature is that Sonic can no longer wander the main map. Instead, there are specific locations where Sonic must meet people located on a globe to advance the story. This game is a mix of the old and new, but looks and sounds better than ever. If players missed either of the original Sonic Adventure games, this is a worthwhile purchase. There are plenty of levels and extras to unlock.Read full review
First off, just let me say this first, this game did not meet the level of achievement that SEGA had promised. It said there would be great new maneuvers to "perfect" the steer and control of the famous blue hedgehog, and they said there would be great new levels of gameplay where you become "unleashed" and wreak havoc. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, this is when Sonic becomes a beast of a creature than a hedgehog and you are much slower, can stretch your arms to incredible lengths, and run into a much larger amount of enemies than on day levels. Yeah it was fun, after the first 3 levels. Gameplay-5/10 Really average, Sonic really can only skid and do a quick sidestep (which was probably the most helpful and would have been cooler if more than 1 level required you use this to win). The "unleashed" levels are really simple, swing the wii remote and nunchuck at fast and hard as you can to attack (which is one of the many reasons the game loses its shine) The nights levels too also get extremely old. The day levels consist of Sonic bolting through levels as quickly as possible, and do switch between 2D and 3D, which is pretty cool. Sound-7/10 The songs weren't actually too bad, and didn't get on my nerves. Its not like they were the great masterpieces as seen in Mario and Zelda, but they did pretty well for a Sonic game, and didn't get too annoying. The cheesy voiceovers could have been done without; (they can get annoying and the cutscenes inbetween gameplay cannot be skipped so brace yourself). Graphics-10/10 Amazing graphics is probably the only reason to buy this game. (if you can even count that as a reason). The cutscenes are extremely detailed and the metallic surfaces reflect images on their surface. The night levels too are just breathtaking (at first), and sonic is detailed and doesn't look pixelated when there are parts when it zooms in on his facial features. Story-6/10 Another downfall of all Sonic games. Pretty much the same thing you've seen in other sonic games, Eggman is trying to take over the world by using the chaos emeralds, wakes up some horrible creature, sonic must get back the chaos emeralds and save the world. Don't expect any new surprises. Longetivity-3/10 I can't see why you would want to play through those insanely annoying levels more than once to find every little secret in the game, and let me warn you, the secrets are only documents that tell about the game, movies so you can watch cutscenes again, and the mediocre music. One time through, is enough for anyone. This really isn't a game I would recommend buying. Stick to Brawl or Legend of Zelda. *sigh* poor Sonic just couldn't quite come up to speed once again.

I bought this product because my son is a fan of this character. I bought it used because the product was almost new and it had a good low price. About the game it accomplished the expectations of my kid because he hasn't stopping playing it. What I disliked is that he soon get tired of playing it because it was too hard to pass some levels or to defeat some character or something else. I would buy some other game of SONIC but in the same condition because it is too expensive buy it new and the use of it is short. I would like a game of SONIC for 2 players in order to share the exciting game with my kid.
My 6 year old son borrow this game from a friend and after returning it, we decided to go ahead and purchase it. If you're new to the nunchuck controller, the controls may take a short while to get used to (there are other options though). The game changes back and forth between different styles of gameplay and keeps the storyline interesting. The ESRB rating is E10+ which was the only hesitation I had for letting him play it. All in all, this is one of his favorite games for the Wii!
