I personally think it's the most underrated Sonic game.

I've been to afraid to buy it in public. I may eventually order it online.
more like overrated on /v/ now

I liked Generations better because it does the daytime style levels better in my opinion. Sonic Unleashed is still decent because the day levels are fun.
Sonic hasn't been good since 1994
if you disagree you're a silly
An incredibly flawed game in terms of design and pacing that I like, and the last time Sonic Team was firing on all cylinders in terms of Sonic, as much as I enjoy Colors and Generations.
>>343569197
FUCKING NO
SONIC ADVENTURE 2 WAS GOOD IF ONLY FOR THE MULTIPLAYER RACES
>>343569197
Then I'm silly as hell.
No, that's Sonic 06.
Unleashed is an incredible fun platform game bundled together with a mind-numbingly tedious brawler.

Sonic Advance 1-3
Sonic Rush,Adventure and Colors DS
Sonic Generations
Sonic 4 ep 2
Fucking amazing soundtrack. Day stages are cool but night stages are an even worse God of War.
Just download the Generations mod.
>>343568408
Day levels were great. It felt fast and fun while having GOAT music. Night levels were okay. They were slower paced but still were alright.
>>343568408
Everyone complained about the night stages only because you were going slow while playing as sonic. If the changed the werehog to knuckles this would have been up there with SA2.
>>343569760
They would've had to polish the night stages more and cut out that battle theme too.
>>343569760
>If the changed the werehog to knuckles
The problem isn't only the Werehog design, it's the level design and boring, shallow, repetitive combat.

that's what beat-em-ups are

It was shit.
>>343569967
>Comfy nighttime music constantly interrupted by DADA DAAAAAA
I'm still mad.
>>343570202
If the only beat em up you've played is God of War, sure.
>>343569760
Honestly, I hated the knuckles levels in Adventure 2. I was okay with them in Adventure 1 because they were short.
>>343570202
If you generalize them as such, yes.
Unleashed had Sonic Boom tier combat.
Complete garbage. Even the day segments that sonicfags love to circlejerk about are effectively scripted, autopilot 2fast4u shit that you'd have to be a complete idiot to mess up.
>>343570202
>someone insults your favorite part
>shit on a genre to make it not seem as bad
that makes it look worse you know
>>343570342
Unleashed has at least more than one combo and a not devil trigger
Framerate is utter garbage which kinda kills some of the fun for the daytime stages which are otherwise pretty good
night stages are boring at best and miserable at worst
>>343570202
And yet at least half of the game is still plagued by it. Along with the forced medal collecting, dumb QTE minigames, and the pointless hub stages, Unleashed as a whole is only mediocre at best. It's no wonder people recommend playing Generation's Unleashed mod instead.
Shitty performance and the majority of the game being pure mediocrity kills what could have been fine. Now that Unleashed Project exists there is no reason to touch it.
Its unironically my favorite game of all time. Empire City, Holoska, Shamar, Spagonia, Adabat, Apotos, Eggmanland, and Chun Nan hit me like a truck with their sheer beauty and design. I enjoy both Sonics gameplays, loved the hubs and NPCs, interacting with Chip and Professor Pickle, and the DLC acts. Everything about the game is incredibly smooth to me. I have killed two 360s from overplaying it.
All I know of it is that short movie.

Colors and generations were good
>>343570217
m8 you just described why I loved it.
Unleashed just had a feeling of excitement to it that most 3D Sonics before it were missing entirely. I think the last time Sonic actually sounded excited to be in a game was one of the Adventures when he'd say "this is happening!" or crack jokes about no in-flight movies while being escorted to prison.
>>343570217
This was around the time Jadon Griffith was coming into the Sonic role really well. Shame it was his last game.
>>343572461
nah sonic was always pretty jolly. in heroes he'd say here we go when switching and have a lot of clips for different things that happened in levels or to tails/knuckles. In rush he was really loud when doing tricks. even in shadow and 06 he had tons of snarky quips to other characters, although the energy was lost in 06 since the whole game kind of has a somber desolate feel to it. Unleashed kicks this energy to 11 though and sonic always sounds happy and determined no matter where he is or up against, even in close calls when he feels like hes gonna die. Unleashed griffith was the best sonic voice ever. Tails, amy, pickle, and eggman, especially eggman were all done really well too. Eggman has a weird voice now ever since lost world.
Werehog wasn't fun and was clear to be filler because the game would be insanely short wothout it. So, I ended up with a tedious game with short bursts of fast fun. Atmosphere was pretty nice, though.

>Unleashed griffith was the best sonic voice ever.
glad I'm not alone in thinking this
even though I thought he was trash in pretty much every game before Unleashed that game alone made me really miss him when he got replaced in Colors.
>>343573208
I heard he took actual voice lessons at some point after 06 and it really showed. The new Sonic voice isn't bad, but losing Griffith just as he came into the role was a damn shame.
>>343573208
he was good in black knight and all stars racing too. Alright in rush too even though rush heavily reuses voice clips. The new smith sonic sucks ass. I hate it. sonic sounds so old and a lot meaner for some reason and his voice and dialogue in lost world is more cringe than any mistakes made in sonic x/shadow/06 griffith. what a fucking shame that the 4kids voice actors were scrapped right when they got good. they should have at least kept him for shadow since the new shadow sounds fucking terrible.

Agree the new Sonic voice sounds like a surfer dude bro.
>>343568408
I mean, it was inevitable that Sonic Team would add a gimmick to this gen as it has since Adventure all the way up to Lost World but of all the tag on shit in this godforsaken franchise, I'd say the Werehog was the most bearable and, dare I say, enjoyable. It's leaps and bounds better than fucking hunting for emeralds or spamming targets in the mech, I'll say that much.
>>343568861
Yes. The music kicks ass.

>Hedgehog-Werewolf
I'd forgotten how fucking stupid that was.
>>343574728
Its explained simply and is a very good transition and design. Stop being a hater
>>343568408
It's a fine game. Personally I just play the Generations Unleashed Project so I don't have to deal with the Warehog nonsense.
Why does the lighting look better than Generations?
I just wish I could play the Unleashed mod with the same graphics.
>>343575890
The first game that used the hedgehog engine, is the best looking of them all. All the advanced lighting and shading techniques in unleashed were removed from generations. LW has a completely different art style so the game could be 60fps. At least its a versatile engine....? Unleashed on 360 didnt even run that bad outside of a few segments, people overreact on its performance so much. For what is one of, if not the best looking game on consoles last gen, with all the rendering, physics, and loading it has to handle along with post processing filters, the game runs much better than expected.
>>343576215
I just hope they use it with its original lighting in whatever game they're currently working on.
>>343576558
I dont see why not. Last gen consoles didnt even have a gig of ram. The new consoles are packing 8gb of ram and much better gpus. Only things that might actually be worse are the cpus. If they achieved what they did on 360/ps3 with unleashed, barring any sudden changes in art styles like lost world, I expect it to look at least as good, but at 1080p, solid 30, and aa. have some faith here. Sonic team has always had brilliant artists and technical qualities
I wanted to love it but the atupid plane part stopped me on my tracks it should have never been put in and just been a cut scene instead
>>343577352
>3 minutes of tapping buttons is to much for poor little anon
if you didn't have the reflexes for the tornado act(s actually, there are 2), you had no hope for the main game. its a good thing you stopped there because it clearly wasnt for you. Nintendo platformers move at much slower paces, give those a shot
>>343568408
God-tier ost desu
Playing as Sonic in Unleashed was a lot of fun. To me, it's how a 3D Sonic game should play.
The werehog parts were stupid. I don't know where they were trying to go with that. Pretty much trudged through those parts just so I could play as regular Sonic again.
Not the best game, definitely not the worse. Only other 3D one I played before that was Sonic Riders and good god was that an abysmal turd of a game.
