Sonic Unleashed

Wait, wait, wait. I just saw an ad for this game, and now I'm even more disappointed in Sega. Apparently, Sonic's a werewolf now. Duby Tee 'Ef, mate? O_O

Another failed attempt by Sega to make Sonic more "edgy" and popular. <_<

A little late to the hate party aren't we?

Anyway, as "dumb" as the werehog idea is, there has been dumber and/or more ridiculous. Sonic himself can be considered a dumb idea. Seriously, a blue hedgehog that runs? "Double U Tea Eff". I've learned to just stop attempting to make sense of things that don't make sense in the first place, ie the Mario and Sonic series. I'm simply interested in the gameplay.

When the game releases I'm going to see how well it does. Granted I'm not expecting anything good.
 
That 1up review was fairly shitty. I think IGN did a much better job hitting the nail on the head in regards to how Unleashed turned out - http://ps2.ign.com/articles/931/931656p1.html.

Best line in IGN's review...

The daytime levels will amaze you for they harken back to the 2D classics and are positively overrun with raw speed, zigzagging pathways, loop- de-loops and more, all of it complemented by responsive controls and good technology. As far as I'm concerned, these stages are so well crafted, in fact, that die-hard Hedgehog fans can probably justify purchasing the title for the sunlit selection alone. Just resign yourself to trudging through the nighttime stages as penance for the daylight ones. Come on -- if you're a Sonic fan, you should be used to sacrifice and suffering by now, anyway.
