I agree with you sonicthemegaman...but you know our opinon dosen't count becasue we have Sonic avatars right. Anyway, I've played both versions of the game(Sonic Unleashed) and your right the game is underated and the reviews exagerated the worst of the game. -The Sonic levels are what people asked for(speed, and 2D sections similar to sonic rush) -the werehog wasen't perfect but it wasen't so bad that it should drag the game like 4 points,it was avarage -the hub world are a small problem you only have to be in them for a little amount of time and you don't have to talk to peopel - there are only two tails sections and really have the poeple that say this game suck haven't even played itSunamaru
No, his opinion doesn't count since he only played the Demo (Which only has the 1stday level)and not the acctual game.
A big problem with the hub is that they waste time. Once I get out of the level, I want to go to another part of the game. I have to walk to the town hub or hit the "Go Back to Town" button in the pause menu. Wait a loading time. Then walk to the exit or hit "Go Back to Globe" button. Wait another loading time. Why can't I go to the globe while I'm in the level select hub. I understand the hub is ment to give a sense of adventure. It doesn't work in this game since the loading time's in the PS3 are 15 seconds long. I feel enclosed in an area with so many loading timesand at times, I don't feel like going throughso many loading times to get where I want.
Also, switching day to night is another problem. You can hit the Hour Glass to switch. Sometimes as Sonic, I hit the thing on accident since the Homing Attack makes Sonic arc towards it. Then I have to wait 15 seconds for him to turn into a wolf. Then another 15 seconds since I didn't intend to hit the Hour Glass. Why can't there be a simple "Are you sure" message? We have free roaming games that can go day to night in real time. We had Day to Night transitions in Zelda on the 64.How does this game in 2008 not manage to do this?
Also, the game has to stop you in your tracks just so the camera can point at something obvious like where the next level is or an enemy appearing or a behind you door closing.
Platforming in the wolf stages is broken.Like when you are hanging on the side of the pole and I need to jump to another pole. It doesn't work. Itap the Jump and Right button but it just makes the Wolf rotate to another side of the pole. It turns out I have to HOLD the jump button for it to respond. It took me a while to realise this. In similar situations like Mario 64, 3D Rayman games and Mirror's Edge when you're hanging on a pole and tap the jump button, you freaking jump. Same goes for when you try to pull a block for a primitive block puzzle. You HOLD the grab button and wait fora response. Who came along and decided to change a simple mechanic we're so used to?
Combat is terrible. There's 3 attack on the face of the controller. While fighting, the O button will appear to indicate a Quick Time Event can start. THe window for the Quick Time Event is open for a literally, less than a second. Sometimes while fighting, I'm not aware I activated a QTE so the enemy takes my health away. Since the time for QTE is so short, I hit the O button too late, which makes the Wolf grab the enemy. Most of the time, the enemy is too strong and just pushes you aside and leaves you open to attack. Usually when you activate a QTE in other games such as Mercenaries 2 or Marvel Ultimate Alliance (I think GoW but I never played that), the camera shifts to tell you a QTE has been triggered and the time to press the button doesn't start a few seconds after.
Another thing, why does Chip come out during gameplay to tell you what you need to do in a text box? In Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, the spirit ofhippie Knuckles and robot Chao comes out tell you what to do with voices and subtitles while still being able to move around. Why does this game take a step down and stop you in your tracks so you can read a text box?
I could go on forever about this game
