    Though it's gimmicky, Sonic Unleashed resurrects some color into the series. It's also a perfect game for children of all ages. Pros: Refined graphics, control, camera, and audio its predecessors lacked; the daytime Sonic levels are fast and fun. Cons: The too gimmicky "Werehog" stages happen too frequently and are slow and dull; boring town sequences.

    Sonic Unleashed on the PS2/Wii is believe it or not... BETTER than the PS3 or 360 versions. The Day stages are very fun, and easy to navigate with minimal if any pitfalls. The Night stages are an annoying drop in pace... but unlike the HD versions (where I actually spent 27m 35s on one stage because of pitfalls), you will probably only suffer around 8-10 minutes on each night stage. Control on the PS2 is better than the PS3 and 360, its a real surprise, but Sonic controls much more tightly in these versions. The Sun and Moon medals are streamlined in this game as opposed to the HD versions.. you actually earn them for doing WELL on a stage. 3 for A and S, 2 for B, and 1 for C. It is a shocker, but honestly, Sonic Unleashed on the SD consoles are the way to go.… Expand

    I would say the game was half good and half bad.The day time stages were awesome and some of the boss fights to,but the night stages were the reason I gave this game a 6.If it could of been only the day time stages I would have given 9.the night stages were too easy with the combat,I never died by fighting off enemies but by falling in to holes and water by the bad controls.Also why does sonic have to be with "God of War" style of gameplay,SONIC IS NOT ABOUT COMBAT.Also it was very slow,I mean even "god of war" had faster gameplay than this.But thanks to the day time stages the game was for me okay.SEGA and Sonic Team you had the opportunity to make a very good sonic game but you guise just threw in those night stages and ruined it.… Expand

    Practically a game that plays itself when it shouldn't, and a painful experience once the sun sets down. It's dumbed down to hell from the 360/PS3 versions, and features more of the Werehog than Sonic. Also has one less continent. Graphics aren't all that hot and the controls could be better. Good the first time, but it will get on your nerves if you have to complete it again. Get the 360/PS3 versions if possible.… Expand

    Even if it is a bit too gimmicky, Sonic Unleashed returns "some" color into the series. Pros: Excellent graphics, controls, and sound; the daytime stages are fast and fun. Cons: The werehog stages are too slow and occur frequently; the town sequences are boring.

    Sonic Unleashed is half great game and half tedious gimmick.

    The faster Sonic levels are a real treat, and Sonic Unleashed has many high points to balance out the lows. The real bummer is not so much the concept of the werehog sections as it is how these portions of the game painfully drag the rest of the game down.

    Sonic Unleashed is a decent Sonic game for someone that can overlook the slower Night stages. The Werehog missions aren't all the way bad but when played several times in a row, they tend to become repetitive and unwelcome.
