GiN Review: Sonic Unleashed

GiN: "I have one question to ask Sonic Team. Is it that hard to make a good Sonic game anymore? I just don't get it. Sonic was amazing when on the Genesis (with the obvious exception of 3D Blast and to a lesser extent Sonic Spinball,) and the CD version (with either the Japanese or American soundtracks) was without a doubt my favorite first-gen Sonic title.

Eventually it started to go downhill, and it really started with Knuckles Chaotix on the 32X, a game so bad it exploited a useless "feature" where a single button press causes Knuckles or any of his friends to grow in size and then shrink.

I had to wait for Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast for the next good Sonic game, and that, as well as Sonic Adventure 2, was ALMOST worth the wait. Almost because it started to add extra features which I feared would detract the original Sonic gameplay, namely Knuckles' "find the three emerald shard" stages."

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."

PRIMORDUS115d 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

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.
