omfg apotos looks so flippin' different XD i hav the xbox 360 version and i beat this level in literrally 1:02.and wen do ever beat that giant beholder thing in the game?the really cool thing i think about this version,(bcuz i never played it)is the way you level up cuz u level up seprately on xbox360
hauuuuurgggghh hauuuraaaaaaaaa why does he make that super sayin sound wen he mks a turn or goes super speed pretty cool though maks him sound powerful
you got the fuckin demo while Im overhere has a busted down adapter and bought another one that under my christmas tree. you lucky you know that "AjJustChyllin"!?
How can the Wii/PS2 versions be slow? If you are saying it's as slow as Sonic 06, then you should try replaying Sonic Unleashed for the Wii and PS2 and compare the speeds. Anyway, all the versions are fast enough. The HD version is faster. But still...
I'm not saying it is as slow as 06, but compared to the PS360 version it is REALLY slow. Plus, when you hit an enemy, the screen freezes for a split second... which annoys me...
The 360 and the PS3 are stronger and more powerfull systems. Meaning their graphics card and their overall design INSIDE the console can take more in rather then what the Wii and the Ps2 can. Notice how the hedgehog engine was specificly made for the 360 and ps3? Now being SEGA they want to sell more copies of sonic unleashed so they had to make a weaker version of the hedgehog engine to run on the Wii and Ps2. So they had to get a whole new design team to work on the ps2/Wii version.
Are you sure? I remember reading It works on the hedgehog engine.. But that would explain why on the back of the case of the Wii and PS2 version it doesent say " Powered by the Hedgehog engine "
sonic unleashed wii isnt a ps2 port, check out the gameplay for the ps2 version, it has diffirent graphics and the camera is lil bit differnet....looks harder to control too.
Cloud801 meant the Xbox360 and PS3 version. This one isn't really next gen because it has worse graphics than the 360 and PS3. It still is next gen, but not as good graphics-wise
I'm kinda confused here right now..I know that only Sega has the modified Sega engine, and the PS3/XBOX360 has the Hedgehog Engine.
But what confuses me are some of the levels, I mean, aren't they supposed to be the same in all three versions. And the minigames are they supposed to be in the Wii version too.
I'm talking like I'm not making any sense but I've seen some videos that made me think about it.
Of course Knuckles and Shadow ain't playable. They were just confirmed to appear somewhere as NPCs and I'm not even sure if that's true (for PS3/360 anyway).
They both are playable in Sonic & the Black Knight, though. Which is why I'm looking forward to that game.
wow pretty awesome, totally get it today and by the way, if the level is empty and short and easy is because is the first one,in a lot of games the first level is really easy and not to fulled with enemies and stuff, anyway, great video and quality
I'm not bashing this, it looks GREAT for all that it is, BUT Does anyone besides me think that the ONE voice clip played when he boosts gets really annoying after a while?
Yeah, it does get annoying. I'm probably going switch it to japanese language with english subtitles when I get it Wednesday. I depends which one has more...well expression, life I guess. *shrugs*
i think this whole level is longer than all the levels in super mario sunshine :P thats why it has stil 8 levels...ohh forget to tell ( UPDATE: both versions got 8!! stages night and day.. ) Apotos has 2 acts. and there are final and last zones of course. Every zone gots a hud. And there are a lot of missions. Big game:P after all
It's also in the E3 trailer. When the screen splits into four, there's one scene from Chun-nan that has the same boss. Yeah. It's got to be some sort of mini-boss. Something to notice, though, is that all three of these guys shown have totally different attacks from one another.
this game looks so sick! iv been anticipating this game for so long. the wii controls look quite easy to handle. im just wondering though, for the side-stepping that u have to do to avoid that boss and other obstacles, u dont have to move the wii mote side to side do u? im still getting the wii version. its my only next gen console other than my DS. but, the wii version looks like lots of fun and the graphics look pretty damn good too! i look forward to the werehog controls on the wii verion.
looks horrible. The stage is almost empty, all he does is running forward( some drifts included...) . And the boss looks pretty lame, not at last because of the music...
I guess I'll skip this and wait for Sonic Black Knight.
Besides, the 360/PS3 version also has that "lame" boss. Check out the Empire City trailer. The other version has just as much, if not more, pointless running & drifting. I'm glad I'm getting the Wii version.
Well until we see all the level designs we can't say its empty yet because this level is the first one in the game so its only fair to have fewer obstacles in the beginning levels so that you can learn and get used to controls of controlling Sonic. I think its not the level designs are boring its just there isn't a lot of obstacles and events going on in the background. I think thats fine because Sonic is all about speed so why slow him down with so many enemies and obstacles...just an opinion.
When I first looked at this video I personally thought that it was just a bad video of the Xbox 360 version of the game..until I saw the "Z" button in 0:51, I was WTF!?!?!?!?!? o_O That's the Wii version of it!!! I had to look at this 5 times and go to IGN to confirm it to believe this L.O.L. :)
does anybody know if the wii versions levels will have acts to them? like windmill isle act 1 and act 2? because if they dont that would make the game rather short if you ask me.
Confirmed: Dimps wanted this level to be empty so people can practice, learn the controls and test the speed level of the game, so stop being assholes just because almost the whole level is empty
LOL, it's called criticism. And this isn't the only level that looks empty for the Wii. The chun-nan level, the Spagonia level...all look empty. It's not bad, it's EMPTY. I NEVER SAID it sucked, I just said it's empty, so don't call me an asshole for stating the obvious.
As I said b4 until we see all the level designs we can't say its empty yet because this level is the first one in the game so its only fair to have fewer obstacles in the beginning levels so that you can learn and get used to controls of controlling Sonic. I think its not the level designs are boring its just there isn't a lot of obstacles and events going on in the background. I think thats fine because Sonic is all about speed so why slow him down with so many enemies and obstacles...
Yeah, but IT'S NOT THE ONLY EMPTY LEVEL. Spagonia Wii is empty, Chun-Nan Wii looks empty...I mean, the newer levels, like Adabat and Holoska look good, but come on.
There could be a difficulty setting for all we know and if you look at the stages, there not empty, they are only empty to their HD counterparts, but still, a little innovation never hurt anybody.
your missing the point...this is the only full level we have seen so far until we have seen the entire level of Spagonia, Chun-Nan and others then you can't say that for sure. I'm not arguing that is won't be empty I'm just saying we don't know for sure if its really empty or not.
IGN is idiotic. The person who made that article was basing his view on an early build of the game, even though recent impressions from more up-to-date versions have confirmed that the framerate is solid. Dumb.
In Sonic's case here, those retro games in which you refer to have strong level design. Sonic 3 and Knuckles in particular boasted levels with a ton of obstacles, platforming, and overall depth.
If you feel that boosting along unadorned stretches of road is retro, you're joking.
This really isn't bad, the level design looks good, maybe better than the 360/PS3 version, but there's one massive flaw:
IT'S FUCKING EMPTY!!!!!!
There's barely any badniks, or obstacles to try and slow Sonic down, or in some cases even any indication of activity. And that can make even running at 300+ miles per hour seem boring.
That's one key thing that is keeping me towards buying the 360 version, in addition to some of the other extra features it has over it.
I'm not bashing the Wii version, y'know, I have both a Wii and 360, I'm just sayin', if I had to choose...I mean, I did say the level design looks better, it just seems more dead.lol
lol but the graphics in 360 kinda look wierd, I mean the graphics are jaw dropping but it being a sonic game, they seem some what out of place being so life like
T_T' Are you kidding me?! They don't look life-like! If anything, they look like a Pixar movie, or something: cartoony, but with loads of realistic qualities. Just compare the people to the towns, the design even RESEMBLES Pixar!
And....that's just a poor excuse to defend the Wii version. I never said the graphics for it were BAD, just that the 360 version looked better, but only because the 360 is a more powerful system. So there's no need to defend it, but...man, that's a silly excuse =P lol
I never stated that i was defending the wii version, i'm actually mad about the graphics, even thought the look good, they could've done alot better. 360 Wii, who cares its sonic, we love that guy, that's what is most important
Well they sure killed 3D sonic when they made him too lifelike in the Sonic the Hedgehog game for 360/PS3. A "cartoonier" looking Sonic fits him better art syle wise...just a humble opinion no bashing intended
Actually I think it being more empty is better in this case because you get a better sense of speed. With the too many enemies to deal with it be like playing 360/PS3 Sonic the Hedgehog levels with Sonic all over again.

I think its not the level designs are boring its just there isn't a lot of obstacles and events going on in the background. I think thats fine because Sonic is all about speed so why slow him down with so many enemies and obstacles...just an opinion.

When I first looked at this video I personally thought that it was just a bad video of the Xbox 360 version of the game..until I saw the "Z" button in 0:51, I was WTF!?!?!?!?!? o_O That's the Wii version of it!!! I had to look at this 5 times and go to IGN to confirm it to believe this L.O.L. :)

people shouldn't complain that this is empty, Sonic Rush was pretty empty, yet many said it was really fun
sonicspeed011 3 years ago
Personally, I prefer it without debris flying in front of the camera. All that stuff makes it hard to concentrate, in my opinion.

ALSO, I don't think the Wii Holoska level looks empty at all. I think it looks rather awesome. Same with the Adabat level.

does anybody know if the wii versions levels will have acts to them? like windmill isle act 1 and act 2? because if they dont that would make the game rather short if you ask me.
BVK93 3 years ago
theyll have acts
AnimeFreak43511 3 years ago
Even if there are no acts, that's still at least eighteen huge levels. Plus, there's always the replay valua that Sonic's famous for.

Confirmed: Dimps wanted this level to be empty so people can practice, learn the controls and test the speed level of the game, so stop being assholes just because almost the whole level is empty
Tyranic1993 3 years ago 4
LOL, it's called criticism. And this isn't the only level that looks empty for the Wii. The chun-nan level, the Spagonia level...all look empty. It's not bad, it's EMPTY. I NEVER SAID it sucked, I just said it's empty, so don't call me an asshole for stating the obvious.

As I said b4 until we see all the level designs we can't say its empty yet because this level is the first one in the game so its only fair to have fewer obstacles in the beginning levels so that you can learn and get used to controls of controlling Sonic. I think its not the level designs are boring its just there isn't a lot of obstacles and events going on in the background. I think thats fine because Sonic is all about speed so why slow him down with so many enemies and obstacles...
sonicmario2 3 years ago
Yeah, but IT'S NOT THE ONLY EMPTY LEVEL. Spagonia Wii is empty, Chun-Nan Wii looks empty...I mean, the newer levels, like Adabat and Holoska look good, but come on.
MegashadX 3 years ago
There could be a difficulty setting for all we know and if you look at the stages, there not empty, they are only empty to their HD counterparts, but still, a little innovation never hurt anybody.
SuperiorX99 3 years ago
your missing the point...this is the only full level we have seen so far until we have seen the entire level of Spagonia, Chun-Nan and others then you can't say that for sure. I'm not arguing that is won't be empty I'm just saying we don't know for sure if its really empty or not.
sonicmario2 3 years ago
No, I've seen the full level of Spagonia via TMG footage. I know what I know...lol
MegashadX 3 years ago
i agree with you ....this is only practice stage not actual level if it was robots will be there alot of them
cant wait for tomorrow for wii =DD

...the emptier level is better?
You people are idiotic.
corneliab 3 years ago
Then IGN is idiotic. They like the Wii Version better.
It's not just the level design, but the gameplay experience...
That's why people still play retro games!
Nguyenbbboy 3 years ago
Level design IS part of the experience, man. If it sucks, the game ain't fun. But it looks really good on the Wii, just...empty.
Lemme rephrase that: the design is great, the just needed to put more in it. But apparently, this is the final version, so...yeah.
MegashadX 3 years ago
IGN is idiotic. The person who made that article was basing his view on an early build of the game, even though recent impressions from more up-to-date versions have confirmed that the framerate is solid. Dumb.
In Sonic's case here, those retro games in which you refer to have strong level design. Sonic 3 and Knuckles in particular boasted levels with a ton of obstacles, platforming, and overall depth.
If you feel that boosting along unadorned stretches of road is retro, you're joking.
corneliab 3 years ago
This really isn't bad, the level design looks good, maybe better than the 360/PS3 version, but there's one massive flaw:
IT'S FUCKING EMPTY!!!!!!
There's barely any badniks, or obstacles to try and slow Sonic down, or in some cases even any indication of activity. And that can make even running at 300+ miles per hour seem boring.
That's one key thing that is keeping me towards buying the 360 version, in addition to some of the other extra features it has over it.
MegashadX 3 years ago
sure, but its the first level
remember City Escape and Emerald Coast?
Empty too, but one of the best sonic levels
If you want to buy the 360, fine
its your opinion
But I'm getting Wii
chaoswaybros 3 years ago
Those 2 levels weren't empty at all. They were packed with enemies, cars, and gimmicks to impede Sonic's progress. This is a different story.
MegashadX 3 years ago
Also, those 2 levels seemed ALIVE!!! Cars were driving by, dolphins and whales were hoping around, there were whales, etc.
MegashadX 3 years ago
lol true but here at the end you have a mini boss just like in Sonic 3
chaoswaybros 3 years ago
Yeah, THAT was pretty cool =p
I'm not bashing the Wii version, y'know, I have both a Wii and 360, I'm just sayin', if I had to choose...I mean, I did say the level design looks better, it just seems more dead.lol
MegashadX 3 years ago
lol but the graphics in 360 kinda look wierd, I mean the graphics are jaw dropping but it being a sonic game, they seem some what out of place being so life like
chaoswaybros 3 years ago 4
good point i so totally agree
AnimeFreak43511 3 years ago
T_T' Are you kidding me?! They don't look life-like! If anything, they look like a Pixar movie, or something: cartoony, but with loads of realistic qualities. Just compare the people to the towns, the design even RESEMBLES Pixar!
And....that's just a poor excuse to defend the Wii version. I never said the graphics for it were BAD, just that the 360 version looked better, but only because the 360 is a more powerful system. So there's no need to defend it, but...man, that's a silly excuse =P lol
MegashadX 3 years ago
I never stated that i was defending the wii version, i'm actually mad about the graphics, even thought the look good, they could've done alot better. 360 Wii, who cares its sonic, we love that guy, that's what is most important
chaoswaybros 3 years ago
lol, don't be mad, they look fantastic for the WIi =P In fact, all versions look pretty great graphically XD
And I never intended to argue about what's version's better, some people just took what I said the wrong way, I suppose.
MegashadX 3 years ago
im one of those people aren't I? LOL
chaoswaybros 3 years ago
Well they sure killed 3D sonic when they made him too lifelike in the Sonic the Hedgehog game for 360/PS3. A "cartoonier" looking Sonic fits him better art syle wise...just a humble opinion no bashing intended
sonicmario2 3 years ago 5
me too :)
sonicmario2 3 years ago
Dude this is just the first level, so its gonna be easy. It gets harder later on.
charliez2nd 3 years ago
Actually I think it being more empty is better in this case because you get a better sense of speed. With the too many enemies to deal with it be like playing 360/PS3 Sonic the Hedgehog levels with Sonic all over again.
sonicmario2 3 years ago
I prefer the more empty one, because you can move about more, and you have more time to choose what path you want to go down the level.
charliez2nd 3 years ago
Damn, it looks pretty damn awesome for the Wii.
