Gamedaily: Sonic Unleashed Preview

Gamedaily writes: "Sega takes another stab at a 3-D Sonic game, but throws in an interesting 2-D twist that has us itching for some playtime.

Sonic the Hedgehog used to be a name associated with quality. During the Genesis days, buying a game featuring the blue hedgehog usually guaranteed an excellent gaming experience. Since that time, Sega has stumbled with its star mascot, casting him in the decent Sonic Adventure games while terrorizing audiences with the lackluster Sonic Rivals and Sonic Riders games, it's biggest offense coming in the form of the abysmal (but best selling) Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 bug fest, Sonic the Hedgehog. Yet, despite this rocky road, the latest adventure, Sonic Unleashed feels different. We're not one to get our hopes up, but based on the early screens, we can't help but drool just a little.

Available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and PlayStation 2, Sonic Unleashed is a 3-D adventure with 2-D roots. It appears that instead of creating a free roaming game, a la Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega intends to blend old school Sonic platform mayhem with detailed 3-D visuals."

Dedicated Sonic Fans Have Managed to Unofficially Port Sonic Unleashed to PC

Sonic Unleashed on PC? The Sonic community managed to do just that with with the fan project "Sonic Unleashed Recompiled."

PRIMORDUS116d ago

Actually the torrent is up and you do not need to own the 360 version of the game. Also it will never be taken down.

Chocoburger115d ago

Nice, I found it on 1337x! I actually liked many parts of this game, but some parts are also shitty. Its uneven, but overall a decent game.

PRIMORDUS114d ago

1337x is one of my favorite ever since the real RARBG went down. I usually only get from FitGirl or DODI.

I think it's best we leave these games we're they belong...in the past

Secret Rings, Unleashed, Black Knight etc, they weren't the best at least enough for a remaster

Generations is getting one because they had something easy to shove Shadow into before the Sonic 3 film and it's probably the better ones they've did over the past decade or so.

Unleashed was one of my favorite P3 games would love a remastered version

NSANiTY378d ago

If I have to read another one of these lists that contains the sentence "The game that started it all" I'm gonna go nuts.

And when it comes to fan favourite zones in Sonic 3 (he mentioned Hydro City, Marble Garden and Launch Base), I'd replace Launch base and Marble Garden with Ice Cap zone. Never heard anyone refer to the others as favourites.

NJShadow1087d ago (Edited 1087d ago )

I sorta' stopped caring about this list when I saw Sonic Spinball (a genuinely great game) ranked lower than some of the noted atrocities.

Pyrofire951087d ago

Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed is still my favorite kart racer.
I've never really been able to play online tho. D:
Can't even play Team Sonic Racing online cause the servers are broken and don't queue people together.
P.S. This is such a random list. I really don't agree with it. Maybe this really is how they rank it but them just seems odd personally.
