So what was the consensus on this game? I remember getting it in 2010 but then my xbox broke. I think i was at the italy continent but im not fully sure. Remember having tons of fun with it, but found out it was hated.
Day stages had better gameplay, night stages had better music.
It's not really hated, people are just indifferent to it.
Day time stages are sweet, but they're few and far between.
Also it has a brilliant soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHDNWvTFIsY

Werehog levels were a steaming pile of shit. Grinding rings for items needed to make progress was a dumb idea but at least things were cheap so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Sun and moon coins were a stupid idea and also had hitboxes ranging from unforgiving to downright broken. The rest of the game was okay.
Day stages are pretty fun. Everything else is a bit of a slog. Overall, it's mediocre like most Sonic games.
Fortunately all the days stages were ported to Generations, with all the bonus stages and DLC being ported over as we speak. So there's no real reason to play it anymore.

Make a great game and add in the worst filler possible in between the great parts to increase runtime. That's Sonic Unleashed.

I won't speak for the "consensus", since it's obvious half the people who talked about it never even played it. Or they played one level just to shit out a stupid review:

But I and a lot of other series fans believe that overall, it was good. The Sonic gameplay worked and set the stage for Generations (and Colors I guess, though IMO Colors does it a lot worse). Meanwhile, the Werehog gameplay is easily the best non-Sonic gameplay in the series. If it was a standalone game it'd be alright, but nothing special. As it stands, the gameplay is mainly just an experiment in padding out Sonic games - how do you create a product that people want to pay $60 for, when the levels can be completed in under an hour without prior knowledge? Enter Werehog, medal collecting and hub worlds.
I remember liking the story.

Daytime stages are fucking amazing
Werehog stages are fucking gay
Villages were fucking boring talk to people shit with awful art styles
All that stuff about grinding gaia temple stones or whatever was dumb
Good day time stages that are far and in between the needless padding.

The art style isn't shit, it's like Pixar.

>was hated
Wrong, it was considered alright and a step in the right direction. Main complaints are that Werehog isn't as fun as Sonic, and the game requires Medals collection to progress. (DESU though collecting the medals is very easy)

Worst score than Sonic 06... the score meme needs to die permanently
>tfw I got the wii version when it came out but never got far in it
Is the wii version good or is it much worse than the 360/PS3 versions?

Not him, but come on. It was unappealing at least. They were better off doing realistic designs than what we got. Even the anime people from SA1 would've been better.
>people think boost2win is good gameplay

does the guy in the gif have a youtube channeL?

Much worse. Sonic controls like that 90s game with the fruity music (Sonic Racing or something) and the Werehog has like 5x as many levels.
It was ok but the Werehog stages were way too long
>>331445713
I enjoyed it thoroughly.
>>331448441
Okay I will just play the generations mod then.
>>331447749
Oh so you only played the first 2 levels
It's a game that combines the woest brawler ever made with one of the best platform games of all time.
Fuck game critics, and thank the Lord for the five million Sonic fans who bought this game. Including me. Twice. Goddamn european Playstation Store.
>>331445713
The last big budget Sonic game we'll ever get.
