This was a great game....you go back and forth from sonic an this sonic beast from day and night. You can also walk around and talk to people to get help on missions. Not to violent; fighting yes but I would give it 50/50. Great game for all ages.

Sonic unleashed brings back every sonic fans favourite parts of the sonic genre. Running very fast from a side view perspective most of the time. However only 1/3 of the game is actually like this. The other 2/3 is nothing more than utter crap. Sonic turns into a “Wear Hog” which makes no sense considering that the “Wear” in Wear Wolf, means man. Which would make sonic a Man Hog? Wtf... anyways the game is split between sonic being his normal speedy hedgehog to night levels where he is a sluggish slow paced Wear Hog. Sonic games are suppose to be about speed, not slow paced mediocre combat. Oh, did i mention that the Ware Hog has stretchy arms like elastic girl? There’s a level up feature that seems like it was an afterthought slapped on at the last minute. And finally the final 1/3 of the game is nothing more than pushing buttons in sequential order. In one level your flying in the tornado (tail plain) and you must shoot down enemies. But you don’t get to even touch your anolog stick. no, no. You push buttons to shoot them. “here’s an enemy with a triangle icon, push triangle to shoot it. Here’s an enemy with a square icon, push square to shoot it.” The boss battle after is exactly the same. Normal game play during the night and day levels incorporate allot of sequential button pushing as well and tend to be annoying at times. At least they fit into the day levels as they are used to reach higher locations. All in all its 1/3 of a good game and 2/3 crap. The sonic team hasn’t made a good game in years but at least this tie its playable. If you’re a hardcore sonic fan its worth a look, but otherwise I would advice against wasting your time and find a better game elsewhereRead full review
Sonic Unleashed is a great game that brings back the classic and formidable speed of the fast hedgehog while adding a fun and innovative gameplay mechanic to the mix, namely the use of Sonic's nocturnal werewolf-like form known as the Werehog. The story starts in a cold open. Sonic is just about to defeat Dr. Eggman when suddenly Eggman gets him in a trap! The trap is a machine that steals the power of the Chaos Emeralds and to add more, turns Sonic into a beast! After sending Sonic flying back to Earth with the lifeless Emeralds, Sonic comes in contact with a mysterious creature who doesn't remember who he is. Naming him Chip, Sonic's mission is to restore the power of the Chaos Emeralds, defeat Eggman and prevent the evil beast known as Dark Gaia from shrouding the world in darkness! During the day, Sonic is in his normal hedgehog self; daytime stages have you speeding by locations and defeating Eggman robots while blasting your way past obstacles. Sonic Boost converts the energy provided by rings into a potent and constant speed boost that makes Sonic even faster! You can also use the Homing Attack to defeat enemies and learn even more cool techniques such as the famed Lightspeed Dash! During the night however, Sonic becomes a large and menacing Werehog. Night stages have you going through and defeating enemies using many skills that Sonic the Werehog has learned. You climb building, solve puzzles and beat up enemies huger than you using the amazing Critical Finish combo. All in all, a colorful experience for all who play. Many Sonic fans are hesitant to play because of the Werehog gimmick, but if you're a real Sonic fan, you'll give it a try and have a little fun; it may not be your good old Sega Genesis days, but it sure is good for this day! 10/10Read full review
This game is amazing. The last time I fully enjoyed a Sonic game, and it felt like a AAA title, was 2000s Sonic Adventure 2. This games soundtrack, graphics, detail, replayablity, story, everything is top notch. The most important part of the game: The gameplay, is fantastic. High speed frantic action as sonic in the day and Beat em up exploration as the Werehog at night. Even with the newer Sonic games out this is still the fastest most fluid and open boost Sonic game to date. (The speed can be a bit jarring at first) Most importantly, it does not hold your hand like the newer games. Instead of just holding boost to win, you must quick jump, wall jump, slide, quick step, drift (which handled to my surprise, very realistically. Similar to a car.) kick, ground pound, explore, grind, platform in 3D, do a three to five button quick time event. You are always doing something. The Werehog has exploration and satisfying / fluid combat with overwhelming amounts of enemies on screen with an RPG leveling system and 40+ different combos to unlock. Almost forgot to mention the beautiful hub worlds. Hub worlds are these small areas for you to free roam in based on different parts of the planet. (Spain, Greece, China, Alaska, America, Arabia, etc) You can also talk to different kinds of people, discover side missions (and acts 2 and 3 for Sonic / Survival and timed modes for Werehog) even go shopping for collectables and foods (that grant you XP) My only complaint is the final level and Boss. They are not as fluid, polished or fun as the rest of the game. The pre-final boss: EggDragoon is infinitely more impressive and "epic" than the load fest they call, Dark Gaia. Do not listen to "professional" critics or the Internet, try this game for yourself if interested. Anyone, not just fans of the series, can play this and have a great time. this isn't your typical 2 hour long modern Sonic game, try 20 hours.Read full review

Sonic is one of those games that are very addictive, once you start playing, time just flyes away. The best thing about Sonic is that, it's like having two Sonic games in one, you have day Sonic and night Sonic once you get tired of day Sonic you could switch to night Sonic, once you get tired of night Sonic you could switch to day. The only thing that Im not a big fan of is the time it takes to switch from day to night, the loading time is about 1 min 1/2 which reminds me of super nintendo. Besides that great game.
