  • Sonic Unleashed, one of those games that people weren't a fan of when it came out, but now we're all warming up to it as the years have passed by? This is my take on the Xbox 360 and Wii version!

    The Opening cutscene of Unleashed is literally a masterpiece. It has that cartoon-but-yet-still-realistic-ish feeling. Even a pinch of anime.

      The cut scene against dark Gaia as well, I mean remember when Sonic got the Werehog ripped out of him and told Chip to “RUN”?
      It’s chilling because Sonic has faced a multitude of demonic entities and Eldric gods.
      But now for the first time we see sonic truly afraid.
      That’s how you make a terrifying villain.

    Fun fact about the wherehog:
    You can cancel out of any animation during combat by simply just pressing the shield button. This makes for a lot of new faster combo abilities and you should look at the skill tree to find more of the other combos and combine them with your shield cancels to kill enemies way faster + get way more points due to the higher combo counts

      Another fun fact:
      You don't have to immediately press A after being hit by a shockwave or being knocked back by an enemy.
      Typically, people play like this:
      >Sneak behind the enemy
      >Enemy swings his tail, knocking you out
      >Enemy jumps (which creates a shockwave upon landing)
      >Player mashes to recover, which causes them to get hit by the shockwave
      >Rage ensues
      People don't seem to realize that they can stay down until it's safe and they won't get hit.

    I've been waiting for a Sonic Unleashed Triggered and Mind Blowing videos for years now. YEARS!!! And now it's finally here. I honestly would've been on a rant for much longer about the positives on the game and still bring up my negatives for the game and show my understanding for it but would try to emphasize more on my positive vibes on it as it is my favorite Sonic game of all time if not also my first Sonic game I played as a kid when we only knew of its existence on the Wii. And to be honest, the difficulty variety in versions is nice as the Wii and PS2 versions are much easier but still gave a young and new player such as myself a challenge whereas it's easy for me now as an adult. But now that I've also played the XBox 360 version of it, it feels more directed towards older and experienced players who want a challenge as it is very difficult.
    Also, I know that you mentioned the QTE, but I'm surprised you didn't even bring up the worst one yet, the final QTE of the game. Also, surprised that Dark Gaia was never even mentioned for such an insane design and concept about a literal god of darkness and destruction tearing up the planet and having the most insane design ever in a Sonic game. But I can't continue ranting any longer or I'd be here all day.

    Sonic Unleashed is the Super Paper Mario of the Sonic series: great game overall, but falls a little flat due to inconsistent pacing as a result of the Warehog stages. If these stages were apart of a different franchise, they probably would have been better. But because the main selling point of Sonic games is speed, the nighttime stages make the game much more of a drag than it should be.

    I really like unleashed. The day time stages were fun for me (even though most of my game overs were from it) and the werehog stages were as good as the day time stages for me. The music is amazing, and I like all the cutscenes in the game. The hub world was good and I liked searching for the hidden medals in it. As for the medals, I didn't think they were bad. But I guess thats just me since I like exploring levels, although I didn't get that much medals in day time stages since the main point of the stages were to go fast. But I did get a lot from the hub world and night stages. So I didn't have to do a lot of levels for 120 sun medals. And for Eggman land I really liked it even with the difficulty. The final boss was fine, and the music just made it better. Now I'm not gonna overly praise it as "The best sonic game ever!" since I have only played a tad bit of generations and colors and have never played sa1 and sa2 (although I do plan on playing them). I respect if you think that its bad, or if its just meh, because everyones opinion is subjective, and we shouldn't be toxic towards another just because their opinion is common, part of a bandwagon, isn't part of a bandwagon, or a negative opinion of what you like. I know this was a drastic change from what I was saying about unleashed, but I just really needed to say this.

      The issue nowadays is that people like take there opinions as facts and spread it as such, I'm not saying that your opinion isn't valid or anything,no one's emotional feelings towards a game is invalid but if your going to make a vid in the internet and you want to be critical,make sure it isn't just your subjective opinion,it has to be a critical analysis of the game about what it has and hasn't and reviewing every single aspect regardless of your opinion,sure, you could include it but make sure you make a distinction,like for example,I don't care about the 2D sonic games(I do know a lot about them and I have played most of them but I don't care to revisit them, sonic3k is the exception),but that doesn't mean I well review them as such,there is no problem to have an opinion on something, but when a post it on the internet people would take this as your supposed critical analysis of that thing,So people would be critical of your opinion that they see as your critical analysis, especially if that thought was wrong on a critical perspective and you failed to make a distinction, keyword here "distinction", What matters the most is to not roust each other over something stopped or dumb when the issue could be resolved by "distinctioning the opinion and the critical analysis,that's all.

    I like the 360/PS3 version of Unleashed more, but I think the Wii version is better for newcomers, since the Werehog gameplay is simplified and the Boost stages have less do-or-die moments. I feel that if you combined the best parts of both, we’d have an absolutely stellar Sonic game.

Although a long final stage with multiple parts makes sense to me similar to Cannon's Core. Note: although I make such a comparison Cannon's Core is far superior and the only means of comparison between the too are the length and how they combine segments with different gameplay styles.

    The one good thing about the Wii version of the night stages is they’re short as. To get an S rank you typically need to finish within 8-10 mins, depending on the level, and that’s lenient. You can finish way faster! But they’re still fun I like night stages

    While I’ve only really played the Wii version of Unleashed, I really enjoyed the game! I think It was a good idea to start with Unleashed Wii, as It’s a little easier than the PS3 and Xbox 360 Versions, and Eggman Land is less stressful to get through, thanks to it being divided into small sections!
    I have experienced the Daytime Stages of the PS3 and Xbox 360 Versions of Unleashed via The Unleashed Project Mob for Sonic Generations, and the Team did a really great job porting over the stages to Generations! They still look well put together, they were thought out, and as someone who has only really played the Wii version of Unleashed, this was really awesome to me! This is why I love the Sonic Generations Modding community!
    Now all that is left main-game wise until Frontiers is Sonic Lost World! I wish you the best of luck on that video! It will mostly be another “The Good and Bad” video for Lost World.
    Also, do you think you could do a “The Good and Bad” video on Cel Damage? I love that game! I’ve played both the Original and HD Versions and to me, both are really good! Though I prefer the HD Version! The Original Version of the game is on both Xbox and GameCube, while the HD version is on PS3, PS4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Also, the voice of Mario is in that game too! So it would be fun if you talked about that in the video too!
