Has Sega unleashed a monster or a masterpiece? Find out in this Sonic Unleashed video review.
Game features include:
* Sonic can engage in different ways during the day and night time levels, bringing a completely original way of playing the beloved series.
* In addition to running at high speeds in classic Sonic style, combat fighting will become possible.
* Super quick Sonic’s speed skills is highlighted by four new modes, whilst the all new combat, movement and functional abilities offer depth and variety to the game.
To quote the GT video review: “Sonic Unleashed takes two steps forward with some of the best speed levels in recent memory, and one step back by tacking on yet another failed experiment with the Werehog. Perhaps some day Sega will release a game that is 100 percent blue hedgehog, but this is another case of having to suffer through the bad to get to the good.”
