Sonic: Unleashed

The Good
I heard that Sonic Unleashed was supposed to be Sonic's best game in years. Well, I guess that only applies to the Xbox 360 version (which I haven't played) because this version SUCKS!

It isn't...bad. It's just not what I expected. It can be fun. I...really can't say anything else good. Except the music!

The Bad
Let's start with the gameplay. Sonic's "handling" is very awkward in the day time missions. The camera angle is very awkward, too. The whole game is kind of clunky in a way. As for the night missions, I have no clue why everyone made a big deal about it. I know it's Sonic, so he should go fast, but the whole situation is still far overblown.

The graphics, of the 4 versions, are the worst on the PS2. Since I'm not a graphics whore, I won't make a big deal out of it. Just thought I'd throw it in there.

The voice acting, blah blah blah Jason Griffin sucks. Also, Chips kind of annoying. And Eggman...ugh..... Why is Sega turning him into Goofy? How did he go from Sonic Adventure 2 to THIS?!

Like I said, the music is good, but the vocal songs...not nearly so. Endless Possibilities I can tolerate, but that other song (My Dear Friend) is sappy as hell. I almost glad Chip died...

Oh, and the story. Yeah, pretty much the same story as usual except for the Werehog. Blegh.

The Bottom Line
Overall, this game was a BIG letdown. And I mean HUGE! Don't buy it unless you love Sonic.

I'm going to try and play the Xbox 360 version.
