Amazon.com Product Description: Transformed and unleashed, Sonic races to save the world...and himself. Sonic the Hedgehog is on an adventure unlike any other. Powered by an all-new engine, Sonic Unleashed blends classic Sonic gameplay with a variety of in-game perspectives to create an entirely new and unique gaming experience. Merging blistering 2D action with meticulously rendered 3D environments, players race through intriguing locations across the globe as Sonic to save a chaotic world.  The other side of Sonic |  Sonic and his alter ego Werehog. View larger. |  Collect rings for Ring Energy. View larger. |  Swing into action with Werehog. View larger. | A New Sonic a New Story On a quest for world domination Sonic nemesis Dr. Eggman has managed to steal the chaos emeralds once again and this time drained them of their power. As a result not only has the Earth split into distinct sections, so has Sonic. Now he is two beings. During the day he is the usual speed-addicted hedgehog players will remember, but at night he becomes Sonic the Werehog. In either form it is the player's ultimate goal to find the missing chaos emeralds and return them to their proper place in order to set the world and Sonic himself, back the way he should be. Gameplay: The Two Sides of Sonic Like nearly all Sonic games, Sonic Unleashed is platform-based. The game combines the feel of 2D side-scrolling that fans of the Sonic series love, with sharp 3D graphics, and throws in an over the back third-person perspective reminiscent of FPS gameplay for good measure. And just as in earlier games, as players race through and explore the expansive world before them, using auto lock to hone in on enemies and areas of interest, they will rely on the power they gain from the rings they collect for a variety of things, but with the new twist of Sonic's split personality, things are a little bit different. Playing during the day, as you race across the world in the form of Sonic, speed is the main goal. Collecting rings fills you with 'Ring Energy,' which not only provides extra life, but also the advantage of 'Sonic Boost.' With this players can travel at speeds that approximate 300 MPH. In addition, Sonic Unleashed introduces two new features: the 'Speed Drift' and the 'Quick Step'. Speed Drifting is similar to drifting in racing games, allowing players to slide around corners at high speeds, while Quick Stepping is a sidestepping maneuver allowing Sonic to avoid enemies with quick steps to either side. Both keep you moving as fast as possible, so you can get as many rings as possible, which again keeps you moving as fast as possible. As night falls and Sonic assumes his Werehog form the rings provide a different kind of power more suited to his more menacing appearance. Much slower, but also much more powerful, the Werehog relies on the rings to provide life as well as strength to shield himself from the attacks of enemies. This is necessary because Werehog gameplay, although based in platforming, incorporates significant levels of combat as well. Red orbs gathered as enemies are defeated allow the player to unlock additional combo moves that will supplement the hack and slash and arm stretching abilities that the Werehog always possesses. Whether Hedgehog or Werehog, no matter which form players prefer they will get ample opportunity to explore the two sides of Sonic since each area in the game contains both night and day segments where each form must be played. Key Game Features: - Sonic’s World Transformed - Sonic maintains his high-speed abilities during the day, but at night he is transformed into a mysterious dark form with incredible never-before-seen abilities including 3D-action brawling and amazing agility.
- Tight Navigation and Speed Control - Players accelerate to super speed with ‘Sonic Boost’ by collecting rings to increase Sonic’s ‘Ring Energy.’ Using ‘Quick Step,’ players will quickly move left or right to avoid obstacles instantly. Additionally, ‘Speed Drift’ allows players to rocket through turns without slowing down.
- Powerful New Engine and Cinematic Graphics - With its new modified game engine, Sonic Unleashed enhances the classic 2D perspective with mind-blowing 3D stages. Other technology capabilities include global illumination, grid computing, continuous data streaming and an intricate path finding system.
- Enhanced and Expanded Environments - Many unique and fascinating continents offer the player an opportunity to save the world in a dynamic, high-speed experience. In addition to exploring exciting unlockable areas, players dash through up to nine locations resembling real-life destinations including the Great Wall of China, Arctic Pole glaciers and many more.
Whether it's the updated graphics that retain the side-scrolling feel of classic games in the Sonic franchise, an expansive world to race through and explore or the multiple and new ways to play, Sonic Unleashed offers something for players of any age or level of ability.
Product Description: Take an unforgettable journey around the world in Sonic Unleashed! With seamless 3D to classic 2D perspectives, new speed capabilities, and an all new proprietary engine, as well as new combat, movement, functional abilities and platforming, Sonic is UNLEASHED like never before!

Sonic Unleashed is the first 3d sonic game I have purchased since the Dreamcast days and its a pretty good game that does somethings right and well to be blunt a few things went the wrong direction. The story is pure stupid. A little kid might find more value in the story than I did. The only plus to the story is the cutscenes do look good.
Graphically I think the game looks good enough but I think the Wii can handle a little bit of an effort. I will give this game the benefit of saying ... Read More

I was a huge Sonic fan from way back, but had stopped playing years ago due to personal circumstances. The intervening years have been worth the wait! Some aspects of this game pose so much of a challenge, they tend to be on the side of frustrating, but getting past each new challenge is rewarding. The graphics aren't too shabby, and the play overall is fun. This is my first Sonic game on the new Wii system, and I can't wait to get my next one!
That being said, I am going to be playing on ... Read More

Sonic started out as inoffensive, but lately he has become quite juvenile. That being said, the sonic part of this game is really fun and mesmerizing, going through stages at top speed doing crazy tricks. The wolf part of this game is fairly repetitve, boring, and frustrating. Sonic isn't meant to go slow, but that wolf...boy is he slow. The wolf part of the game wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't so much of it, I'd say 70-80% of the game is played as the wolf. This game jsut diverges too much from ... Read More

I'm just going to be frank and say exactly what this game is: in order from the highest emphasis to the lowest emphasis, this game is a mixed package of fighting, speeding, and basic puzzle solving. If none of these things appeal to you, leave NOW.
. . . Many Sonic fans are, sadly, disappointed with this game; and this is simply because they think it's one thing, when it's really another. Sonic Unleashed introduces the new concept of Sonic's Werehog form; and, admittedly, Sega milks it for ... Read More

it looks like sega was in a hurry to make money using their gretest creation on the new platforms, believe me this is crap comparing it to sonic for the genesis,they don't even use a quarter of the true potential of the wii, i use to be a real fun of sega but it looks like they have changed perssonel...
