Herein lies the rub with Sonic Unleashed players take the traditional Sonic route by day, but by night they assume the mantle of the lumbering Werehog to smash, bash and crash through the story.Īs well as turning Sonic all gruff and fuzzy, Eggman's laser beam strike has also dulled the famed Chaos Emeralds and unleashed a force held deep within the planet called Dark Gaia. This not only fractures the globe into molten sections but also turns Sonic into something quite bizarre: the Werehog (terrible name, eh?). Sonic seemingly has Eggman on the ropes, until the fat man traps him in one of his dastardly devices while he fires a laser beam directly into the planet below. The excellent graphical presentation clearly shows that the Sonic Team has certainly put genuine heart and devotion into Sonic Unleashed. Robotnik, as he was formerly known) on a space station. The game's lush opening cinematic features Sonic battling the ludicrously mustachioed Dr. Despite bringing some bold new gameplay initiatives to the table, Sonic Unleashed unfortunately does little to arrest this trend. While Mario has gone from strength to strength (not least with the recent Super Mario Galaxy), the Sonic franchise has recently suffered from a crisis of identity.
A lot of water has gone under the digital bridge since then, which is perhaps most acutely demonstrated by the fact that Sega is now a third-party developer for its former rival. There was a time when Sonic the Hedgehog stood toe to toe with Mario on the gaming battlefield, just as respective developers Sega and Nintendo did in the console arms race.
