About this game

Gameplay in Sonic Unleashed focuses on two modes of platforming play: fast-paced levels that take place during daytime, showcasing Sonic's trademark speed as seen in previous games in the series, and slower, night-time levels, during which Sonic's Werehog form emerges, and gameplay switches to an action-based, brawler style of play, in which Sonic battles Gaia enemies

Pros & Cons

Pros

Daytime stages combine high-speed movement with 2D and 3D platforming.
Colorful worlds combine cinematic presentation with technically advanced visuals.
Soundtrack includes varied stage music and vocal themes.
High-speed daytime Sonic contrasts with slower nighttime Werehog gameplay.

Cons

Werehog sections substantially slow the campaign compared with daytime stages.
Werehog combat repeats across the longer nighttime stages.
Campaign quality varies between daytime and nighttime stages.
Werehog platforming includes imprecise controls, awkward jumps, and camera problems.
