![]() ![]() Proceeding through these levels will inform some basic platform skills, such as jumping, climbing poles and so forth. Combat is slow and unrewarding however, and the game’s enemies don’t put up much of a challenge. Werehog Sonic has a number of combat attacks at his disposal, plus you can learn new ones by collecting gaia energy. Instead of reaching the end of the level in blistering speeds, the aim of these levels is to beat up a bunch of enemies and slowly make your way to the end of the level. Instead of incredible speed, Werehog Sonic is slow and awkward. The night stages in Sonic Unleashed don’t carry with them the same quality as the day stages. Due to the speed and quality of the day stages, you won’t need much motivation to have another go. This gives you additional incentive to replay a level if you didn’t get all the medals the first run through. There are usually three medals that you can obtain one for finishing the level, one for collecting X amount of rings, and one for doing it within a certain time frame. Completing the day levels will reward you with Sun medals, which can be used to unlock further levels. You’ll also encounter some boss stages which are generally fun though the bosses lack the imagination and creativity of the bosses Sonic encountered in Sonic 1 to 3 in the olden days. Rings are again collected as a form of lifeforce, and a hit without rings still spells death. Controls are responsive and there are sometimes different routes in the level that are accessible depending on your skill. Sometimes, you will be able to repeat a level with a slightly different goal, such as collecting a certain number of rings or getting through the level without sustaining any damage. In most of these levels, your aim is to just get to the end of the level, much as it was in earlier Sonic titles. In any case, the day stages are exciting and have been designed quite well. On top of this, the day stages are over very quickly due to the speed of which you can get through them. Unfortunately, there are fewer day stages than there are night, particularly early on in the game. Playing as normal Sonic is all about speed and making your way through a level as quickly as possible. The day stages in Sonic Unleashed are most definitely the superior of the two types. As each type of level are played in different ways, I will cover them separately, starting with the day stages. Day stages are played as Sonic the Hedgehog whilst the night stages are played as Sonic the Werehog. The main levels in Sonic are divided into two types, day stages and night stages. This part of the game is a tad annoying, but thankfully it doesn’t take too long to talk to everybody to get the info you need. As you visit each continent, you will need to visit various locations (in a point and click manner) and talk to the locals to find out where certain important items and locations are. The game is divided into 7 continents each containing a number of levels. The story in Sonic Unleashed isn’t particularly brilliant, but it works. Luckily, Sonic has help in the form of Chip, another sidekick (there are far too many silly characters in the Sonic universe) who guides Sonic throughout the game. Despite his change (which, consequently, only occurs at night), Sonic must gather his strengths and find a way to restore order to the chaos that has been unleashed upon the world. On top of this, the world was also split into seven continents and Sonic was transformed into a Werehog. Robotnik then reversed the polarity of the Emeralds, unleashing a dark force on Earth known as Dark Gaia. ![]() In it, Dr Robotnik (a much cooler name than Eggman) traps Sonic in a forcefield that helped him procure the Chaos Emeralds that Sonic was carrying. At the beginning of the game, you are treated to a beautiful looking cutscene that sets for the scene for the remainder of the game. Will it be the game to bring Sonic back to his former, dizzying heights? Or is it just another nail in the coffin… The premise behind Sonic Unleashed is somewhat unique as it involves Sonic being transformed into a Werehog. Sonic Unleashed is the title of Sonic’s newest adventure. The various modern Sonic titles I have played have been mixed in quality, though even the better ones leave much to be desired. The Sonic games were famous for their insane sense of speed, so with the arrival of 3D gaming came a decline in Sonic games. As the years have passed, Sega have struggled to develop a Sonic title that captures the brilliance of the earlier Sonic adventures. In the golden era of 8-bit and 16-bit gaming machines, Sonic stood shoulder to shoulder with Mario in terms of popularity. Sonic, the famous blue hedgehog, was once a pinnacle in gaming.
