  • I have the X Box version. If u have an X Box and a Wii, buy it for X Box. Way better quality and easy controls. Not that there are still 30 minute long night levels, but hey.

  • I love the were hog stages

  • Why does everyone love the classic games so much? Their kinda shit and we needed a nice change.

  • @RusticRobot5000 i know they just cant take the real speed of sonic whan dega made sonic unleashed they that the game would be a failer if they took out the normal sonic they knew they should sonic more faster its one of the bust sonic games ever played but i think the day stages are bater

  • Meh, I still haven't finished this game. Most of the time it's just a boring ass and frustrating chore (you need medals to play a level?? seriously??). Although some of the daytime levels and boss fights are quite fun.

  • Hey, they gave it a 7.2

  • you know the wii version of this game actualy got the highest rating, they polished it up alot more for the wii, i dont mind the werehog levels to much, i like how theres kind of a darker atmosphere to sonic in this game, and the werehog levels have a cool jazzy kinda music to it, althought the fast levels are clearly WAY better, i think if it was more half and half, night and daytime levels, this game would have got a higher rating, but i still love this game, definatly one of my fav wii games

  • @rebootenzo9 Have you played the 360/PS3 version?

  • Oh look they're saying things like all you do in the were-hog stages is platform and brawl. Well if you don't like repetitive gameplay then why play the day stages when all you do is platform and run really fast. I mean really don't judge a sonic game by how fast it is, but how good it is.

  • am i the only one that likes the werehog levels

  • Sonic was meant to be the fastest thing alive , so why the hell do they always make him slow in his games? and i dont get why ppl preferr classic sonic more then modern becaz classic is basically playing Mario bros all over again :s ..... modern sonic clearly is "sonic" because of his incredible speed.

  • The werehog isn't that bad really.

  • >Complains about jump

    >Runs up to boost pad and stops

    >Jumps over boost pad

    I'm dying of laughter.

  • Well at least THIS guy has some sense in him.

  • The night stages would have been be great if the levels was the same length as the day stages.

  • Did he seriously put "true fact" and "wikipedia" in the same sentence?

  • @WolfThunder29 Yeah. He was being sarcastic.

  • Convoluted story line?

    What, does no one at IGN have a High School diploma? The story is just as simple as Colors and Generations.

  • Unleashed was truely an average game. High production values marred by repetitive Werehog stages, stupid hubs and though daytime stages were good they needed to be more plentiful and balance the platforming better.

    Despite the reviewer's appalling script that comes over too informal, most of the issues and problems are true. For those who did like the Werehog are truely those that need to play a true brawler like God of War; the former is not terrible but completely banal.

  • it's not sega's fault it's twilight's fault

  • Dude shoulda reviewed the 360 version.

  • they should have impartial reviews...saying the warehog was a bad addition to the game is a bit much because I liked those levels. If the review liked the warehog levels I'm sure this game would receive better reviews

  • everytime i hear sonics 4kid voice, i think of cilan from pokemon whos also voiced by him -.-

  • i actually really loved this game it was great epic story but the werehog was pretty cool and i liked it for a while but any who has the wii/ ps2 version and u didnt like it try the xbox/ps3 version theres much difference between these version i didnt like the ps2 version because it was slow bad graphics and no cool werehog moves but the ps3 one the night time only had 1 act only to complete and had cool moves to fight with and daytime is much faster, more levels and so on ps3 much better

  • Comment removed

  • 1:22 What about Banjo Tooie?

  • I think you guys are being a little TOO hateful of the werehog, everyone! The werehog wasn't a bad idea, besides, Sonic isn't LITERALLY a freakin' wolf now, his name is obviously a joke to the fact he transforms at night, due to Dark Gaia's power of course...Oh, and by the way... 3:28 is all IGNorant cares about in a Sonic game.

  • fuck you IGNorant fags!

  • I like how Wii is 7.2 and Xbox/PS3 is 4.5, yet they are ALMOST THE SAME except for Wii's lack of hub worlds and good graphics.

  • on those night time levels where u have to stretch your arms out to reach a pulley or something doesn't it remind u of ristar?

  • The night stages were my favourite. Haters gonna hate!

  • i completely agree.

  • I have to say, I dreaded playing the night stages.

  • I can understand, why people who never played a Sonic game defend this game, but not the fans defending this game. The Nightstages feel really broken, on both Wii and PS2.

  • @Bleistivt But, i liked the night stages and im a big sonic fan D:

  • hey! the werehog levels r awsum to this is one of the best sonic games

  • @aceproductions5734 Did you see the review Irate Gamer gave this game? it's worse than this

  • @TheMysteryOvenThing well i like this game so idc

  • @aceproductions5734 I love this game. I just hate all the bad reviews it gets

  • Son... I am dissapoint.

  • check our channel

  • the i see this this game and the way other people should look at is the fact that sonic unleashed made sonic a hamster on a wheel. sonic moves day and night 24/7. no time sleep no time to eat and no food means death by starvation but our blue blur lives on rings. i was more into day time sonic. werehog stages took 7 or more minutes. another thing, i don't think sonic games are interesting without multiplayer and where shadow,knuckles,metal sonic,cream,big the cat,blaze,charmy,espio,and vector!!

  • I think i now know why some kids say they want super speed as a special ability

  • "jump off a clif, bra, get to an open area bra, gates closed, bra bra bra bra bra" lol

  • one of my friends thought (before playing the game) that the werehog levels were the only good thing about the game.

  • @dtwiiguru6 wow nice freind :L

  • agreed.i beat this puddle of piss.I always prayed for night time levels to end

  • Fuck you, IGN

  • i like the night levels......it's like two games wrapped in one

  • Bring back the 2D graphics nobody likes this cutesy shit my past was filled with classics nintendo I'm begging you please I need a hit <3...

  • i loved the night stages they were one of the reasons why the game was good although the daytime levels were really good the nightime levels were beutifly done and the fighting was thrilling really and I think this dude was totally wrong other than the daytime levels being great

  • Sonic Generations will be the best one ever!

  • so many people sisliked this vid lol funny af

  • wow ign have come a LONG way! :O

  • This reviewer is a retard who thinks he's funny.

  • Am i the only one who LIKED night stages?

  • @MashedAvacado I thought they were kinda fun, too. But I have to admit I much prefered the daytime stages, which is what REALLY made me pissed off when I spent two minutes on a fantastic Daytime stage, and then spent (Not even exagerating) 20-30 minutes on a night time stage. It needed to be more balanced so that it wasn't so boring :S

  • @kingt34 I get what you mean

  • @MashedAvacado Hell no. For what they were, they were absolutely fine. People are afraid of change. They'll bash something before it's even released and then remain stubborn even after they've tried it and don't want to admit that they may have been wrong or just overexaggerated. Though the fight music in the night stages was hell of obnoxious, it's not as though the stages were literally torture to play. They were a good diversion.

  • @MashedAvacado I did too. Reminded me or God of War

  • @MashedAvacado I like the night stages

  • @MashedAvacado Nah i liked em too.

  • @MashedAvacado Yes.

  • @MashedAvacado No your not I also enjoyed them however I must admit that they did get a bit repetitive and boring but luckily the day time stages make up for it.

  • @MashedAvacado i liked

  • @MashedAvacado I found the night levels fun.

  • @MashedAvacado possibly

  • @MashedAvacado You're not alone =)

  • @MashedAvacado No! I have the Wii and Xbox version, and I like the change of pace.

  • @MashedAvacado i like them too

  • imo we need more like dx directors cut and sonic adventures 2 battle, those were amazing(just my thought, i love being able to walk around an area like in director's cut)

  • Sonic should've stayed 2D, and the absence of Tails and Knuckles? Don't get me started on that.

  • fuck ign

  • I don't understand gamers now-a-days. They ask for new stuff. But when SEGA and Nintendo give us a great new experience, they're shot down for us. But when other companies give us the exact same shit, it's the latest masterpiece. Seirously? New guns does not equal new features.

    I loved Sonic Unleashed for everything it had to offer. Some fans are way too butt-hurt.

  • @rifall

    generations was much better then this game for multiple reasons. gamers didnt want this much cahnge. thenew sonic games focus on brilliant platforming an platforming alone. not some bullshit hub world a random ass werehog who stretches his arm and a sword..i guess that works?

  • I like the Were-hog levels

  • People who are bitching about this game, piss off! All off you are just fanboys not willing to admit its a bad game. I would like to finish the game, but the night time stages are just a chore to me. And for God's sake it's just a person's opinion. Get over it!

  • ign's motto is:if it aint cod it aint god.

  • THIS review is decent. It's the other one that's crap.

  • ...this review is so annoying... not because of the score either..his voice is annoying & boring, and he trys to hard to be funny.

  • IGNorant 

  • @actionalways Oh my gosh! You are so brilliant! You just spelled the word "ignorant" but you capitalized the first 3 letters, which just happen to be IGN! You're a genius! I wish I was as smart as you. I don't even know how to take stupid comments I see in other videos, and then put them in other video's comments like you do. You're a legend.

  • @Djangolulu Dude shut up its funny no one cares if its copied dumbass

  • @sonicnarutoTDpg ITS NOT FUNNY. It's stupid. People complain about absolutely everything on the Internet, with or without reason.

  • @Djangolulu You new or something?

  • @sonicnarutoTDpg Yeah. I'm new. 

  • @Djangolulu Trust me, get use to complains.

    It's what makes the internet.

  • @sonicnarutoTDpg I shouldn't though. I shouldn't have to get used to them. People who complain on the internet are annoying, incessant whiners who have nothing better to do, and see the internet as a way to anonymous harass people. Just because people like to be bitching ass wipes doesn't mean I have to put up with it.

  • @Djangolulu Okay you are obviously new. The internet was created for teens to bitch and complain about how bad their parents are, the internet was created so little kids who think they're funny can post videos on youtube.

    Long story short you will be seeing a lot of these types of comments.

    So you can waste your time replying to every one you see, or just IGNore them.

    you choose.

  • @Djangolulu gtfo my internets

  • The day time levels look better than the generation levels I've seen. But unleashed was just unbarable. I remember playing a bunch of night levels and thinking fuck this. Then I decided to power through and I didn't have enough moon coins or some shit

  • I can never tell when this dick is being sarcastic.

  • y'know the ones you have to push, I HATE THEM

  • the brawlings not the problem its THOSE DAMN CRATES!

  • so what score

  • this reviewer is amazing

  • I like the ps3/ xbox 360 version better...

  • the xbox 360 and ps3 versions are a whole different world compared to wii version...the only thing the wii is good for is the classic games, brawl and the legend of zelda games

  • u r right, i used to like the night lvls but now i only want the day 1s

  • night stages rule unles ur in adabat :)

  • Matt was the best editor on IGN, he actually went really in depth with his reviews. Now that he's gone IGN just fucking sucks. Seriously all the editors are a bunch of fanboyish man-children.

  • screw you guys\

  • "Here' a true fact, I looked this up on wikipedia."

    ...Are you fucking kidding me?

  • I don't get it.... why can't they just create a game like the day levels in this? I just don't really get it...

  • @tjcavallo They did... It's called Sonic Colors

  • @tjcavallo Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations much?

  • @tjcavallo Sonic Generations buddy.... Sonic Generations...

  • @tjcavallo Dude. They did: Sonic Colors.

  • @tjcavallo Do not worry, there is Sonic Colours and there is soon to be released Sonoc Generations.

  • @tjcavallo sonic generations.

  • sonic with rabies hahaha classic

  • sonic is by SEGA, not Nintendo...so how can the cutscene be the longest of all NINTENDO games...I'd say SEGA games maybe

  • i was about to get this game thanks ign for telling how horrible this game is

  • i got tthis for ps2 and i loved this game

    when i got it for chrismas, i was filled with joy, SONIC the night time levels are in my opinion a fun way to change the gameplay sometimes

  • the only good sonic game since sonic heroes

  • game looks ok but i rented sonic and the black knight and it was crap like three storyline levels and the rest is unlockables being that game was crap makes me think that most sonic games are like this which means that something pretty incredible will have to be in this game cause it dont look to good anymore

  • Well wouldn't be boring if weresonic was played just like the daytime stage's. Sonic game's had fighting it in before this why do people hate i think it was pretty fun.

  • Yeah, I'm not liking how he makes a point to say that the day time stages in this version take away a lot of the obstacles that have plagued Sonic games, which means he can just zip through without worrying about crashing into something. In truth, Sonic's always been like that, and part of the challenge (and fun) was learning where each pit, wall, or enemy were; so that each run would feature less and less mistakes. The Wii/PS2 versions are just far too simple, and thus boring.

  • wow after so many times of wondering to my self about how did IGN mess up reviewing the 360/PS3 unleashed and now i see they cant play sonic game's with out it being at its most simplistic the daytime stages in this version of the game are so simple that i had them all S ranked on my second day of owning the game and i cant say the same for the better designed 360/PS3 stages after 2 years of playing i still have to beat them all with S ranks so here's to IGN sucking so hard they say easy is best

  • @SoleannaAngela Well, even in the more difficult 360 version, they still praised the daytime stages! the 3.5 (accurate in my opinion) was for the werehog and hubs, which to most people sucked... Sonic Colors got an 8.5 from IGN and S-ranking all the stages in that is extremely challenging, so I hardly think its "easy is best", more like "fun is best", and the daytime stages are undeniably the only real fun in this game!

  • I loved the day stages, but the Night stages sucked so much that it ruined the game for me.

  • The opening is 8 minutes long...

  • Definitely less painful than their review of the 360/PS3 version. This one is actually rather fair and I can agree with most of his points.

  • Are you serious? Smashing enemies using multiple techniques and platform elements is boring? Oh, dude, you are so hilarious!

  • Wow the 1st review on IGN that actually made sense. I like it

  • 1:25 Nintendo?!? This is SEGA game! 

  • This review was only ok. While I agree that the Sonic stages are great, I also enjoy the Werehog stages. It makes sense Sonic wouldn't be able to move as quickly what with how bulky he becomes. One should keep in mind that even in the original there were levels which put more emphasis on platforming than on Sonic's signature speed. All the controls work fine for me (I have the Wii version). One more thing, this reviewer sounded like he was half asleep. It doesn't hurt to have a little energy

  • You Would Rate it on the Wii PS2 Version jus to say it sucked cock suckers Recognize a REAL challenge

  • I didnt like the night mode it fuckin sucked

  • Sonic is such a Mario fanboy

  • I don't care what any reveiwer says, the werehog's levels were awesome and so were his moves. And I really hope he appears in generations

  • the funny thing is the game is soo much better on 360/ps3 than it is on the wii/ps2. its so much harder, the wii one is for pussies

  • @Imnoturdad1 this game gets bad reviews from everyone

    mario gets good reviews from everyone

    its not just ign you prick

  • @mariopawnch

    Dumbasses like you make us, Mario fans, look bad.

  • @internetakias1 ... So not all Mario fans want Mario to repeat the same formula forever. :D I never thought I'd see the day where I'd like a comment from a Mario fan. Thumbs up sir, you have earned it.

  • @vgman94

    Why is this Mario VS Sonic debate going on? They even appeared in the same freaking game. Besides, I love SEGA because they've made one of my favorite games ever, Space Channel 5. Too bad that SEGA doesn't give a shit about it anymore :(.

  • @internetakias1 I guess it's old rivalries that never died.

  • I never cared much about Sonic until I played this game...I sometimes listen to the awesome soundtrack too

  • HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?The reason why this sucked was because of :the daytime,there is no point of reaching the end of the stage without any obstacle,plus they are so empty.The night time,they were tidius and the only thing that canreally makes it interesting is the unleashed.The story and enviroment were ok,but why keep adding people that do nothing keep telling you things that aren't related to the story?And why force us to get the Chaos Emerald?So I'll give this game 2/5.

  • I feel that this a very decent 3D Sonic game next to Sonic Heros and the original Sonic Adventure.

  • all of a sudden because we are defending sonic the hedgehog we are kids and immature? we just like sonic and you idiots just wanna make us feel bad. you guys can stop saying sonic unleashed sucked now. its old now :3

  • @IamtherealElecMan Defending sonic the hedgehog...  You need to grow a pair

  • Comment removed

  • @IamtherealElecMan You're not making any sense...

  • So the night time settings are like a platform beat em up?

  • sonicfags makes me laugh XD you guys are filled with fail

  • @d4rfnad3r Almost. :)

  • @d4rfnad3r Yeah, Every Sonic game has it's own fanbase. I'm simply a fan of most of the games. Thanks for the conversation.

  • @d4rfnad3r The formula worked in the last decade. Repeating an old formula is bad, especially for Sonic who always innovated. Even in the Genesis games. This stuff is far from broken. The Werehog had a lot of upgrading and replayability, good moves (and there were over 30 moves) and the levels were well-designed. The sword wasn't at it's full potential, but it was good. Same with Shadow and Heroes. This "broken" stuff gave Sonic variety. Now we know what the next game will be like to the detail.

  • If this game didn't have the werehog in it it would be amazing.

  • @d4rfnad3r You're the delusional one. Sonic Colors was a bad joke. It had a terrble story, a bad voice for Sonic, simple gameplay (runrunrun) and has a crap on Sonic's legacy. The past decade of games always innovated. Sonic always had speed, but mixed it with something new. The weapons, the team gameplay, the Werehog, the sword. Even the SA games had different play styles. The past decade was fresh, innovative and interesting. Generations (possibly) and Colors are repetitive shames.

  • oh and no where in that review id he say the game was hard so go fuck yourself

  • @Imnoturdad1 no when mario games are amazing, and just becasue their hard doesnt make any less of a good game. However ever since 1999 all sonic games have gotten worse. This game isnt good and it being hard just makes it worse

  • @Imnoturdad1 I love Mario games but you're right

  • IGN, quick suggestion: finish the game before you review it :)

  • IGN you are a HIPOCRATE

  • @d4rfnad3r Both of them suck, dude. Quit denying it. Both are repetitive, overhyped and annoying franchises.

  • @Imnoturdad1 I.G.N (Internet Gaming Noobs.)

  • @TheEFoy11 How about Ignorant Gaming Nerds?

  • @vgman94 how about Incredible Gaming Noobs :)

  • @DashtheHedgeh0g Incredibly Gay Nerds/Noobs!

  • Wii version SUCKS! PS3 Version ROCKS!

  • @munem939 they are the same exeptep for the hub worlds and final boss and a few minor deferances so thare the same grate

  • I agree... with the Wii review but the pa3/ xbox one is amazing

  • Not a fan of ign reviews but this could of been amazing yet it sucked. I wish they had cheat to skip the warehog levels.

  • @Imnoturdad1 While I do agree many of the IGN reviews are full of nonsense, but the thing about reviews is, it's only an opinion. Which unfortunately some people take in as fact rather than what it is, perfect example is how I can like a movie that is universally considered bad. Well, sorry about the first comment.

  • @Imnoturdad1 In this whole review he didn't even mention the difficulty... Some validity in your argument, please?

  • People are still complaining about this?

  • I hated the night stages too, they were long and boring but I survived till the end of the game :l. Sonic colors was better.

  • ign ign ign.......

    sucks

  • "all you can do is brawl brawl brawl brawl brawl and that is really boring" oh yeah what about super smash bros brawl its all about brawl so you re gonna rate it 0 right???

  • @PTDarkSonic I know. They give amazingly high scores to Super Smash Bros Brawl (where Sonic actually fights), God of War and many other combat games high scores, but because it's Sawnik, IGN thinks Sonic can never do anything other than speed, which is why they give a good score to Colors which had a lot less variety. Stupid hypocrites. When will we get good reviewers?

  • @PTDarkSonic BUT THIS IS SONIC not brawl
