Sonic Unleashed

Maybe there's hope for the little hedgehog after all...
After the abysmal game known as Sonic The Hedgehog - otherwise known as Sonic 06 or Sonic The Disaster - for the PS3 and 360, Sonic Team and Sega had to bust their balls to keep everybody interested, so with the first trailer of Sonic Unleashed, everybody was hyped up for it. However, that's the way they roped us into Sonic 06, and we all know how they turned out. Fortunately, when Sonic Unleashed finally arrived in stores worldwide and people played it, all - except Gamespot and IGN - thought of it as a huge improvement. But what do I, an amateur game critic, think of this? The best way to sum up my thoughts is this - it's okay, but unfortunately, for every good thing, there's a few bad things to screw you over. Sure, the graphics and soundtrack are well up to snuff, but the gameplay, controls, level design and voice acting...for every step those aspects took forward, everything else took a step...

THE GOOD:
Almost all of this game is good, but like every game, it has a bad too.

THE BAD:
There are a good amount of Glitches in this game, and could get a little frustrating at times, and other little things.

SUMMARY:
*THIS IS A LONG REVIEW, SO GO AWAY IF YOU DON'T LIKE LONG REVEWS.


THE BEGINNING

To start this off I'd like to take a look on Sonic's gaming past. As all Sonic fans should know Sonic hasn't been doing good recently. It started right after Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, but before that tragedy, SEGA made a masterpiece. During his 10 years of glory, Sonic became wildly popular. He had awesome games on the Genisis, Game Gear, DreamCast, and a few other consoles, and very surprising, in 1996, Sonic the Hedgehog beat Micky Mouse by a landslide in the Q-Score Poularity Rankings. Before that, the two little stars were so popular that it was to close to call which was best in Eurpoe, N. America, and Japan. Sorry...
