This game sucks.Now before you drown me with "DER CLASSIC FAGGIT HOW DARE YOU HATE THE WEREHOG??!?".I don't hate JUST the werehog.That's right.It's possible to hate the daytime stages.Woohoo,I'm gonna get SO much bashing.
Sonic unleashed is better than any zelda games. Scew all zelda fans.
Dark gaia kicks ganon ass.
Dark gaia. Yeah it is rare to see mario that like new sonic like sonic unleashed and shadow the hegdehog. I am Mario and Sonic fan. Also i am shadow fan.
Solid Framerate..Great Sense of speed is ALL the stages..No werehog bullshit...Cool Power Ups..Great Level design..Great 2.5D segments..Great music better than the Cheesy 80s Rock in the previous ones..No Stupid gimmick..
@BlooLegend Useless weapons? Try going through a whole level and see if it's easy. They add to the gameplay given there's a variety of weapons. Repetitive gameplay for the Werehog? Again, until you can justify the run-run-run fetish with Sonic's normal stages and separate them, you can't call the Night repetitive while the Day is just as or far more reptitive. At least the Werehog has a variety of moves. Nearly 100. In Sonic 1, you had multiple buttons that did the same thing. Besides level...
@Bloo ... Gimmicks, Sonic 1 was jumping. Nothing more. So saying Black Knight is bad for waggling while defending Sonic 1 despite being a jumpfest is total bullshit. Colors may have cool power-ups, but that's IT: Nigh generic power-ups. Nothing innovative within the series as the sword Werehog and guns did. Almost no Sonic games had framerate issues or serious ones. Stop lying. No Werehog is the problem; Running through the WHOLE game. No stopping the monotony. The Wisps are semi-gimmicks, BTW.
@vgman94 The Wisps are SEMI-gimmicks..However they don't occupy more than HALF THE GAME...And they were actually fun..Sonic is all about running dumbass....Its a racer/Platformer which is why its so unique..The 2D sonic games are far superior than the 3D ones..Only Sonic Fags will disagree..
.. Need weapons. Werehog only occupied half the game. Stop lying. Sonic is all about running? So how did Heroes-Black Knight come about? Sonic is about running in PART. But that's not ALL he's about. Who is stupid enough to think a VG character HAS to stay the same way it started to be good? Sonic is not all about running. He can do all the things he did in previous games to be fresh and not montonous. SEGA tries so hard to make a gimmick you idiots like and get hate. No wonder they hate you.
@vgman94 Wait a sec you just said that the werehog is a good ripoff and before you said it was innovative...1st of all comparing the werehog to GOW is like comparing SHIT to gold..3 months ago I thought that with SEGA's lazy attitude they would screw Colors up but it was the Polar Opposite..Colors is awesome...I'm a fan of the TRUE Sonic games you know no gimmicks that occupy 75% of the time you play the game..No convoluted story no beastiality U know the 2D ones and Colors...
When has Sonic fought like the Werehog before? NEVER. So it's unique within the series. Outside of it, it's a lot like GOW, and still fun. Shit to gold when both are at least 80% the same? What bullshit. True Sonic games? That is laughable. Tha's like saying "I love TRUE music (classical for ex.) and all the other music is shit for being different!" The deep stories are great as long as there's no beastiality. Speaking of which, get over it. It was 4 years ago. 2D & Colors are overrated crap.
@BlooLegend You have to like certain games to be a Sonic fan? In that case, you should like the games with the best stories, best and most complex gameplay (which include the gimmicks), and GN's review is total garbage. They have no taste in games and hate Sonic merely because he fights or has a sword. It's total biased bullshit like the bile you spit out. Do us all a favor and grow a brain, fanboy. Change, REAL change, is better than cosmetic Color changes.
@vgman94 LMAO you guys still defend Unleashed it's shitty if want the best summary of the game just watch IGNs review of the HD versions the review was perfect.. That's the truth and not just my opinion
@BlooLegend Nah it's still opinion based. Games in general are opinion based. But what I find funny about IGN is how they contradict themselves with giving Colors such a high score after how down rated Unleashed was just two years before-hand. Some of their claims to why Unleashed was rated so poorly are still in Colors and actually were praised as reasons why it was rated so highly. It's obvious that when you go into a game thinking it's bad you'll come out with more negatives than positves
@BlooLegend I'm also a big fan of both Colors and Unleashed. I do love playing Colors a bit more due to the more variety in gameplay. There's a bit more platforming involved mixed with the normal speedy elements. It works well, and the wisps just add a nice touch.
i'm confused about oen thing. They give sonic 06 a 4.8 and sonic unleashed on ps3 a 4.5. Really? have they seen sonic 06? there is no way sonic unleashed is worse than 06? i could understand at least a 6. Yes the werehog isn't great.....but it's kinda fun. But the graphics rule, sonic is fast (0.0), and the story is ok.
"all the next gen 3D Sonic games were garbage" If I had a nickel for everytime I heard that. People are quick to judge Sonic Unleashed solely on the fact that the older 3D games were terrible. Sonic had Heroes and 06 suck and all of a sudden, SA1 and SA2 both suck as well? Please, I know many people enjoyed those Dreamcast games. I can say to most people about Unleashed "Don't knock it till you try it." Sure not everyone's gunna love it, it's actually just an average game IMO.
@hellashes Understand when I said Next gen that doesnt count LAST GEN games SA1 and SA2 and Sonic Heroes were great especially the adventure games
But every game after that was Garbage 06 was utter shit Unleashed sucked ass and Secret rings was decent Black knight doesnt deserve to be a sonic game hopefully sonic team will not screw up Colors which they probably will
@BlooLegend You're not a Sonic fan dude, you're just another one of those guys that says "Sonic Team can't make a game and will screw up Sonic Colors because I said so". Sonic games are good to different people and don't go throwing around the "I'm a Sonic fan" card just to make your opinion true. You're not a Sonic fan and you don't deserve to call yourself one, we all know what a Sonic fan is and you don't fit.
@allyzado I am a sonic Fan and Sonic Colors is a magnificent game..Stop defending the piece of shit unleashed and play the real sonic in 2D plus Play Colors because its awesome
@BlooLegend You're hardly a fan if you think Sonic being a beat 'em up for ONE game is a bad thing and whining about him being slow is baseless. That is downright baise. Loo at what Sega was going for: A fighting platforming game. Judge as that, not just on how fast it is. Get your fanboy head out of the gutter. Unleashed is hardly a piece of shit in any sense. Great gameplay, great music. The HUBs got annoying rarely unless you're impatient and the Werehog was NOT bad. Colors sucks, dude..
OK lets start with unleashed I only played the HD versions btw
Slow...Framerate issues in werehog levels...Horrible flying sections..Horrible pointless lifeless hubworlds..Too few day time stages and they were too short..
Repetitive gameplay in werehog stages..I would give it a 5/10
Black Knight..
Absolute shit...Tell me what happens in the game..Run run waggle waggle waggle jump waggle...Thats IT its not even using gestures just waggle..3/10
Slow framerate? The framerate never had any problems that were near drastic enough to cause a problem. It was the "overdeveloped" graphics that caused neglect to that aera anyway. I agree somewhat on the flying section, though I can't say it was horrile, but annoying. Do you know HOW many miles of level they have to put to make the day stages as they were? That is part of why they made the Werehog: To make the game longer and add variety. Try learning about basic game programming to understand.
@BlooLegend The ratio of day and night is EQUAL. There's just longer night stages. But if you went through the day stages as the qerehog, it'd be even longer. No stupid gimmick? Are you really that thick into thinking that a game which is just a rehash of old gameplay with almost NO innovation except damn power-ups is actually better than having something fresh, new and unique in every game? WTF is wrong with you kids? Nostalgia and repetition is NOT what a game series should be about.
@vgman94 Sonic The hedehog was a jumpfest....-___- Its a frikin platformer dumbass.....The Werehog had a lot of moves but really when did you have to use them...The WereHog is suddenly innovative now...LMAO..Sonic Fag..
The Werehog is basically getting God Of War...Removing the Blood and Gore and the incredibly satisfying quick time events..Making the framerate chug..Remove all the cool weapons..Tack on some useless RPG elements and call it a day..
@BlooLegend Technically, in a lot of games, there's a lot of stuff you don't NEED to use, but it makes the game faster or easier. Within the series, it's innovative. Outside, it's a up-to-date conbat game, but not innovative. Useless RPG elements? They weren't useless in GOW, they're not useless here. Are you high? There's QTEs here. Not as elaborate, but hardly unsatisfying. Huh, I'm the Sonic fag yet YOU are the one who thinks a good copy of GOW is terrible? Uh huh...... And Werehog doesn't...
@BlooLegend What's the point of being a Sonic fan if you hate Sonic games? It's pointless. Plus didn't you say 3 months ago that they'll screw up Colors? What's with the change in interest? Unleashed was a good game that almost nobody but the REAL fans liked, don't make me put you into the "so called Sonic fan" category. You don't have to like all Sonic games to be a real Sonic fan, but hating them so much sure doesn't make you a real one.
@BlooLegend ... In a Sonic game. Secret Rings was good, though the controls kinda ruined it slightly, but not completely. All you guys want is a repeat ofthe same formula. Like it HAS to be close to the old gameplay or be bad. What total bullshit. No 3D Sonic game is garbage and you're really just a picky fanboy who likes the beginning, but not the progression. You game creationists make me sick.
@vgman94 The good 3D sonic games are SA1 SA2 Sonic Colors Heroes and the secret rings..The rest are absolute shit and aren't worth anyone's time or money..2D sonic games are still FAR FAR FAR superior...The only 3D sonic game that I think is as good as the 2D ones is sonic colors
@BlooLegend But the rest don't suck. What is with this idiotic 2-D fetish? Bad graphics, simple gameplay. Annoying beep music (though Sonic made it good, I admit). The old are decent. But an upper 7 at best. There is no logical reason why the old games are better except this stupid childhood nostalgia bullcrap you spit out. If you grew up with the new games, you'd love them. I played Sonic 1 and it was a little fun, but way too hard and being so simple with simple mechanics, it got kinda boring.
@hellashes I can understand that it's annoying hear "All 3-D sonic games suck" but there is a little truth into that. I mean, Heroes is mediocre at best, a 6/10, Shadow was pretty bad. Bad controls, repetitive gameplay, reused missions, that game sucked a 5.5/10. 06, was bad, Unleashed was a decent game, the werehog did ruin the game for me though, still a 7/10. Hopefully Colors can be a good game.
@hellashes At the end - even Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog weren't bad games but they weren't great as well. For me they are okay. ANd I mean GameCube version of Shadow, other have bigger issues.
@hellashes it's the reviewers opinon not yours why can't you sonic fanboys get it through your skulls there is always going to be haters you can't change that
@BlooLegend Let me guess, you hate it for the Werehog? Baised stupidity will never end... The Werehog was a great combat platformer and none of the 3D Sonic games were garbbage. Shadow had a good gimmick and a good level and story progression feature, and as always, awesome music. Heroes may have been a bit repetitive, but still fun and the final boss mad up for all the kiddiness. 06' was mediocre, but not a Devil's Spawn. Black Knight had another great gimmick and one of the best stories in...
@vgman94 Don't defend Sonic Unleashed...Even one of the staff members admitted it sucked..The werehog was mediocre at best..06 was Seriously garbage I mean Horrible frame rate story with beastiality wtf elise? Shadow the hedgehog sucks ass Secret Rings was descent...Black knight was a horrible waggle fest...Heroes is decent.. I recently Played Sonic Colors and that is truly an amazing game..If you keep defending Sonic Team's crap games then they will stop making good ones..
@BlooLegend Mediocre? You played HD version's first level and then quit like IGN, right? Why not spend time trying to upgrade it and see how much work SEGA put into it. Your "good" games are crap. Colors is a running fest with a bunch of stupid power-ups. Nothing NEW for Sonic. The Werehog was a good beat 'em up and had a lot of moves. Shadow sucked? Black Knight sucked? Explain your reasons. You can;t just say "this gaem sux but this one's awesome!" without reasons. Heroes is great...
I agree with everything you said there except for you saying sonic heroes and sonic 06 sucks hardcore. to be honest, I really enjoy playing those games. One other thing is that you said that the older 3D sonic games aren't as good as the ones we have now, well what about Sonic Adventure 2 for the dreamcast and Gamecube? That is probably one of the biggest 3D sonic games out there, unless you forgot about that one, for which I apologize. All that aside though, I agree that sonic unleashed rocks!
Watch the sonic unleashed review on swagshow channel. I don't know if that's his account name, but the video is titled swag and kwing sonic unleashed review. They give the wii game a good score and the xbox 360 game like 2 or 3 points lower. Check it out and get back to me if the review still bugged you.
I agree, most gaming sites have it in for Sonic. That is, they see a Sonic game, they automatically bash it and crap. We all know the mainstream gaming sites are biased against 3D Sonic games. There's no doubt about it. Any smart person would know that there is a strong bias on these sites against Sonic. These sites have a vendetta to kill the Sonic franchise once and for all by constantly giving Sonic games low scores.
Sonic 06 isnt bad, its the loading screens, unless you got the ps3 version wich actualy did suck. So your being a hippacrit. Bad reveiws on 06, pretty good game. Bad reveiws on unleashed, pretty good game.
Sonic Unleashed is very underatted.Nearly every professinal review hated it.But if you seen regular a person on Youtube or Gamespot review it.Most people gave it like a 8.5 or 9.0.That's proof that professinal reviewers like Hillary Fuckstien or Adam Sessler are biased towrds 3D Sonic Games.
Hillary is a fucking girls name and Hillary whatever you call him is a fag
if you're one of those people who payed any attention to his review on the 360/PS3 Sonic Unleashed game you would notice he jumped off the cliff on purpose, nothing wrong with the controls, its just that he cant play games for shit, I bet he gets his ass kicked all the time on xbox live and blames it on his "controller"
so you're saying you like the Wii version better because it's like it plays itself and you don't need to have skill at all to beat it? :D Sounds like fun.
I think that you should simply practice til you can do it easily that way yo ucan be pround of your skills as a Sonic The Hedgehog player AND you get the eye-candy (The funnest part about any video game) of seeing what you're doing in good graphics like actually BEATING the hard stuff and running SUPER fast rather than just fast :D
I just got the game, and it's already proving itself to me. I swore I would never play a Sonic game again after Sonic the Disaster, but I got back to it when Secret Rings came into my possision, it returned the hope I had for him. and Unleashed was even BETTER!
I liked it but not a lot for these reasons: 1: No story 2: Tails and Rouge had no individual attacks like the others. 3: Tails voice was like Amy Palant's only with a cold 4: Knuckles was redesigned to have HUGE hands and a puppy-shaped snout 5: Knuckles started dumbing down 6: Sonic got TOO happy 7: Sonic's hair turned to jello 8: Sonic ran like he was gonna trip 9: Shadow forgot how to run cool 10: Shadow got pointy eyes 11: The levels were random imagination 12: repetitive
I TOTALLY agree with your rant. You speak the truth. I don't know what IGN was smoking, but they just fucking suck when it comes to reviewing Sonic games. It pisses me off how the Wii version got a better score than the XBOX 360/PS3 versions. The Wii version is missing a crap load of levels, there's no hub world, I don't know. Sonic Unleashed is a truly great step to reinventing Sonic. Fuck what those think badly about it. It WAS awesome.
Oh I see. Well I like Mario myself, but as a Sonic fan, you're right. It's EXTREMELY biased to IGN to say "oh the game sucks because of the Werehog levels. IGN, stop being a bunch of fucking Nintendo fanwhores. and LEARN how to review a Sonic game.
YES, God IGN, if you cant review it right, dint review it at all. Yeah, I really like the Werehog stages just because they are different then the Day stages.
It is a creative concept. The Day Stages were AWESOME!!! So IGN, cut the crap, and don't LIE to the readers. Obviously that's so hard for them to do, since you said it yourself, they're Mario faggots. At least Sega and Sonic Team, in MY mind, made a great game since Sonic Adventure 2.
@Worldpeacekid Uh, okay. No offense but you can't assume that person who thumbed down your comment on IGN, was a Mario Fag. I can respect opinions but you don't have to shove it down our throats. I would say Unleashed deserves a 7.5/10 at best, but that's just me.
i like it the werehog i wasent shure if i was gunna like that idea but now that ive played as the werehog it was really fun like back when thay first changed the character desighns in 1999 or 2000 i dint like the new look at first but i started to like the new designs of sonic tails and the rest the voice actors i dont care who it is or what the tittle is some sonic games i like some eather i dint or just wasent that interrested in.
I really prefer the xbox 360 version which was exactly the same as the PS3 one) to the Wii as well, IGN did mess up their review, what a waste! they should let the real Sonic fans do the reviewing
Sonic games are for people who have fast hand-eye coordination, skilled gamers who can memorize portions of every stage and pass sections of the game flawlessly
practice makes perfect, not for losers who are too ignorant to learn from their mistakes, some people are unfit for games like this
from the sound of it, you thought all the previous 3D sonic games were bad, and because this one happened to be the best one yet, it is therefore an amazing game. but at the same time, you have to remember that saying its the best 3D sonic game isnt saying much at all
but of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and i will never come out and say that youre wrong, or vice versa
Dude IGN hasnt always been biased against Sonic you know. The Black Knight and Unleashed arent as good as people think they are anyway. I dont support IGN but they used to give games like Sonic Advanced 3 a 9/10. I dont get why people are bitching over this. Ive seen too many videos and it has to stop. U guys know you can play the game and enjoy it. Bashing IGN isnt gonna do shit for anyone. They wont come on youtube and watch these videos. Reviews dont make the game. Just play the game.
Seriously, this deserves at least a rent to anybody who hopes Sonic will make a comeback.I suggest the 360/PS3 version if you had to choose.And I am 100% positive that if Sega had made a game that featured the same Werehog platforming mechanics but without having Sonic in the name it wouldnt have gotten as bad reviews as Sonic Unleashed is getting
I love your review.I do agree it makes no since whatsoever to believe they gave this game a chance if they didn't even mention that the last boss was bad.And yes unfortunately any sonic game that is 3d will be considerably bashed by reviewers.And most of the so called "Sonic" fans who like 06,Riders,Heroes,and Shadow must be in short supply because most people who defend Unleashed are people who thought those were crap, as do I.
i would't say this game is 4 but its definetly isn't good max 7 6 would be best it has flaws that shoul't be in this day and age and about werhog levels its different than prince of persia they don't have beautiful movements momentum and style its is really just a platformer with sonic as sterchy arm freak
I like Sonic. I really wish that Sonic Team pulled some of their heads out of their asses and looked back at what made the series great.
They should make a game like the original Sonic the Hedgehog but with intense graphics and the ability to switch from side view and front to back view.
besides the fact you are a fan lets be honest its time to put this fucking cartoon rat in a ceptic tank and mario isn't far away from moving in with him.
The constant gimmicks put in Sonic show that it's not being faithfully re-made, today's Sonic is like an overused Science Guinea Pig that's pretty much dying, but the scientists just keep pumping it full of Adrenaline.
If Sonic Team had replaced the Warehog levels with more Speed levels, Unleashed would have been absolute gold.
no; i didnt tell you you were retarded. I told you you were narrow minded and ignorant theres a difference. the developers of the game mearly wanted to make a new actually GOOD sonic game for this generation that isn't some 2-bit, 'look how fast sonic is running in a strat line!!'. and thats not saying the genisis games werent good. they wanted to do something new with sonic instead of letting it die a horible death with Zero gravity and the genisis, cause theres more that can be done with it
First, you're being too particular, it's bad when I take you out of context saying you called me retarded, when you take the developers out of context saying they actually act like retards when they talk about an old sonic game, which, isn't even what the old Sonic games are like, they're platformers, with jumping, it's just they go fast in them.
Sonic Unleashed werehog levels?
Already done that shit better in God Hand, God of War, Devil May Cry, etc.
See, instead of letting Sonic die a noble death leaving behind a pile of good games behind him, they're keeping him up on machines to make shitty games inferior to almost every other game in the genre it fits into.
no; im sorry, but if you think they should have left this thing with the genisis and 'heros'(God forbid) then you have some major issues. just because some things were done in another game and the idea around them was better than another game, dosent mean the game was any worse. the TRIED to do something different with SONIC; not god hand, not god of war, not DMC, SONIC. dont compar a game with another TOTALY DIFFERENT GAME, if i did the same thing with god of war and DMC, i would be caying the
Right, I shouldn't compare the Werehog levels in Unleashed purely because it's Sonic, that makes it a totally different game and unfair to compare with games that are actually good.
Sonic, THE CHARACTER, was made with the idea of platforming mixed with fast running, get it?
He was not made with Medieval action games or RPG's in mind whatsoever.
Why should they create new characters instead of milking Sonic? Because then you can have a completely different story and not have to stick to Canon.
Because people still buy it, they buy a game because it has Sonic's fucking name on it, that's the only reason people buy Sonic games anymore, know what that creates?
A rational thinking that churning out a below-average game with Sonic in it will sell like hotcakes, because they do, Clover is shut down because God Hand didn't sell well, but Sonic's being milked because people buy a game if it has his name in it.
GOD HAND CAME OUT WHEN PS3 and got over shadow it was clover bad for it not selling.but rolette part in that game is fun!don't buy this sonic game it succs.
saying the same narrow-minded things that you are about those games. and in the end, its a total matter of oinion in games, i know that, but still this isnt the point
Once Sonic and the black knight comes out, ignore the reviews. Listen to fans who played it and decide if you want to get it. The so-called "professional reviews" aren't even professional now.
I completely agree with you about game reviewers comparing new games to how they used to be. I've seen this happen a lot lately where someone will say "oh I don't like that game because its not the same as it was on the NES". Well guess what? games have evolved over the years, get used to it and accept new things. Open mindedness (is that a word?) is a good thing. :D
It's not about staying stuck in the past, it's about realizing that even if this weren't a Sonic game and being compared to past Sonic games all the time, it would still be pretty shoddy. Don't get me wrong, the running levels are absolutely AMAZING, but the Werehog levels are way too long, way too repetitive, and have highly unresponsive controls.
What unresponsive controls. And also I think it holds up pretty well against sa2 or sa1. And the werehog aren't even as long as people say. I beat the werehog levels in about 8-10 minutes and some of them were really short. And also they say they werehog is repetitive what was so speacial about knuckles gameplay. He only had about 3 or 4 punches in his combo
I really don't care about story in a game, though the 2nd half really was so facepalm that it had a bit of a lasting impression. Seriously, The transformers thing with Chip and the temples? What the fuck? I REALLY liked the game, and the Wherehog stages were fun in my opinion, and the Day stages are win!
The leveling up was fun! Nice little RPG'ing there.
Good call, Hellashes. I agree, and did you notice in the video review on IGN, when he mentioned that there was lousy button response, he pressed X several times to try to jump, instead of A? xD lmao...
They really have to let go of the past, too, you're right. Almost every review for the 3D Sonic games has been "Sonic was great on Genesis" or "*insert random bashing of Sonic 06" XP get over it....
I think the "Bad button response" is probably referring to the Wii version's Werehog stages... there are some problems with it, until you realize you can just hold down "B". But maybe that's only me.
Thanks for your opinion hellsashes, but IGN's doing the same thing, giving their opinion. An opinion can't be wrong, and if they didn't like the platforming, so be it, just let them be.
That tends to happen cus' people go into different games with different expectations. Going into Sonic, one would want fast-action paced gaming rather then slow platforms, but when that sort of platforming is expected in another game, of course it will gain points. People are fickle like that.
Also the highly unresponsive controls was a problem on the Wii version only cus' most of the Werehog fighting moves depended so much on the Wii's motion sensor that made pulling combos off painful.
Unresponsive controls? More like bad button timing. This happens in ANY fighting game.
You do the combo but you don't get the right result, and you start thinking "this game's broken" when it's actually the PLAYER that hasn't timed the button presses correctly (or in this case, Wii-remote shakes).
Happens to everyone, you just gotta time your combos properly and stop blaming the game, cuz it might not actually be the game's fault! And in this case? It isn't.

sonic ownz ign anyday i mean i dont even have bad button responses ive played this game for at least 30 hours and i love it and wtf about the platform? the people who made this game did an awsome job i mean the weresonic is awsome i have all the sonic game from oldest to this one and i love this... rock on hellashes!
Zero Punctuation spent 75% of their review talking about why Werehog is not the technically correct word for Sonic's transformation. Their reviews aren't supposed to be taken serious anyway, so I really couldn't care less what they said about it.
I want to know what version he reviewed. I don't remember if he said anything about whitch version he was playing. The only clues in the video were the Wii boxart and the Xbox or gamecube (or wiimote?) stlye controller he was using. I'm just saying this cause the problems he was talking about seem to be more akin to the Xbox version, But if he was playing the wii version, the critical favorite then all I can say I wow what a negative review.
people who listen to "reviewers" are retarded. if youy are a gamer u like the games u like. by listening to reviewers u are taking the opinion of some guy who gets paid to sit on his fat ass play through a game as fast as possible and say some random bullshit about it. its in my general opinion that most reviewers dont even play tghe game. A 4.5 FOR SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEE FUCK YOU REVIEWERS GET A REAL JOB U KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GAMING.
This game sucks.Now before you drown me with "DER CLASSIC FAGGIT HOW DARE YOU HATE THE WEREHOG??!?".I don't hate JUST the werehog.That's right.It's possible to hate the daytime stages.Woohoo,I'm gonna get SO much bashing.

Useless weapons..Framerate issues...
Now here is why Colors is awesome
Solid Framerate..Great Sense of speed is ALL the stages..No werehog bullshit...Cool Power Ups..Great Level design..Great 2.5D segments..Great music better than the Cheesy 80s Rock in the previous ones..No Stupid gimmick..
BlooLegend 1 year ago
@BlooLegend Useless weapons? Try going through a whole level and see if it's easy. They add to the gameplay given there's a variety of weapons. Repetitive gameplay for the Werehog? Again, until you can justify the run-run-run fetish with Sonic's normal stages and separate them, you can't call the Night repetitive while the Day is just as or far more reptitive. At least the Werehog has a variety of moves. Nearly 100. In Sonic 1, you had multiple buttons that did the same thing. Besides level...

@Bloo ... Gimmicks, Sonic 1 was jumping. Nothing more. So saying Black Knight is bad for waggling while defending Sonic 1 despite being a jumpfest is total bullshit. Colors may have cool power-ups, but that's IT: Nigh generic power-ups. Nothing innovative within the series as the sword Werehog and guns did. Almost no Sonic games had framerate issues or serious ones. Stop lying. No Werehog is the problem; Running through the WHOLE game. No stopping the monotony. The Wisps are semi-gimmicks, BTW.
vgman94 1 year ago
@vgman94 The Wisps are SEMI-gimmicks..However they don't occupy more than HALF THE GAME...And they were actually fun..Sonic is all about running dumbass....Its a racer/Platformer which is why its so unique..The 2D sonic games are far superior than the 3D ones..Only Sonic Fags will disagree..
BlooLegend 1 year ago
.. Need weapons. Werehog only occupied half the game. Stop lying. Sonic is all about running? So how did Heroes-Black Knight come about? Sonic is about running in PART. But that's not ALL he's about. Who is stupid enough to think a VG character HAS to stay the same way it started to be good? Sonic is not all about running. He can do all the things he did in previous games to be fresh and not montonous. SEGA tries so hard to make a gimmick you idiots like and get hate. No wonder they hate you.
vgman94 1 year ago
@vgman94 Wait a sec you just said that the werehog is a good ripoff and before you said it was innovative...1st of all comparing the werehog to GOW is like comparing SHIT to gold..3 months ago I thought that with SEGA's lazy attitude they would screw Colors up but it was the Polar Opposite..Colors is awesome...I'm a fan of the TRUE Sonic games you know no gimmicks that occupy 75% of the time you play the game..No convoluted story no beastiality U know the 2D ones and Colors...
BlooLegend 1 year ago
When has Sonic fought like the Werehog before? NEVER. So it's unique within the series. Outside of it, it's a lot like GOW, and still fun. Shit to gold when both are at least 80% the same? What bullshit. True Sonic games? That is laughable. Tha's like saying "I love TRUE music (classical for ex.) and all the other music is shit for being different!" The deep stories are great as long as there's no beastiality. Speaking of which, get over it. It was 4 years ago. 2D & Colors are overrated crap.

In that case, you should like the games with the best stories, best and most complex gameplay (which include the gimmicks), and GN's review is total garbage. They have no taste in games and hate Sonic merely because he fights or has a sword. It's total biased bullshit like the bile you spit out. Do us all a favor and grow a brain, fanboy.

@vgman94 LMAO you guys still defend Unleashed it's shitty if want the best summary of the game just watch IGNs review of the HD versions the review was perfect.. That's the truth and not just my opinion
BlooLegend 1 year ago
@BlooLegend Nah it's still opinion based. Games in general are opinion based. But what I find funny about IGN is how they contradict themselves with giving Colors such a high score after how down rated Unleashed was just two years before-hand. Some of their claims to why Unleashed was rated so poorly are still in Colors and actually were praised as reasons why it was rated so highly. It's obvious that when you go into a game thinking it's bad you'll come out with more negatives than positves
hellashes 1 year ago
@BlooLegend I'm also a big fan of both Colors and Unleashed. I do love playing Colors a bit more due to the more variety in gameplay. There's a bit more platforming involved mixed with the normal speedy elements. It works well, and the wisps just add a nice touch.

i'm confused about oen thing. They give sonic 06 a 4.8 and sonic unleashed on ps3 a 4.5. Really? have they seen sonic 06? there is no way sonic unleashed is worse than 06? i could understand at least a 6. Yes the werehog isn't great.....but it's kinda fun. But the graphics rule, sonic is fast (0.0), and the story is ok.

"all the next gen 3D Sonic games were garbage" If I had a nickel for everytime I heard that. People are quick to judge Sonic Unleashed solely on the fact that the older 3D games were terrible. Sonic had Heroes and 06 suck and all of a sudden, SA1 and SA2 both suck as well? Please, I know many people enjoyed those Dreamcast games. I can say to most people about Unleashed "Don't knock it till you try it." Sure not everyone's gunna love it, it's actually just an average game IMO.

@BlooLegend You're hardly a fan if you think Sonic being a beat 'em up for ONE game is a bad thing and whining about him being slow is baseless. That is downright baise. Loo at what Sega was going for: A fighting platforming game. Judge as that, not just on how fast it is. Get your fanboy head out of the gutter. Unleashed is hardly a piece of shit in any sense. Great gameplay, great music. The HUBs got annoying rarely unless you're impatient and the Werehog was NOT bad. Colors sucks, dude..

@vgman94
OK lets start with unleashed I only played the HD versions btw
Slow...Framerate issues in werehog levels...Horrible flying sections..Horrible pointless lifeless hubworlds..Too few day time stages and they were too short..
Repetitive gameplay in werehog stages..I would give it a 5/10
Black Knight..
Absolute shit...Tell me what happens in the game..Run run waggle waggle waggle jump waggle...Thats IT its not even using gestures just waggle..3/10
Shadow the hedgehog
Garbage level design
BlooLegend 1 year ago
Slow framerate? The framerate never had any problems that were near drastic enough to cause a problem. It was the "overdeveloped" graphics that caused neglect to that aera anyway. I agree somewhat on the flying section, though I can't say it was horrile, but annoying. Do you know HOW many miles of level they have to put to make the day stages as they were? That is part of why they made the Werehog: To make the game longer and add variety. Try learning about basic game programming to understand.
vgman94 1 year ago
@BlooLegend The ratio of day and night is EQUAL. There's just longer night stages. But if you went through the day stages as the qerehog, it'd be even longer. No stupid gimmick? Are you really that thick into thinking that a game which is just a rehash of old gameplay with almost NO innovation except damn power-ups is actually better than having something fresh, new and unique in every game? WTF is wrong with you kids? Nostalgia and repetition is NOT what a game series should be about.

@vgman94 Sonic The hedehog was a jumpfest....-___- Its a frikin platformer dumbass.....The Werehog had a lot of moves but really when did you have to use them...The WereHog is suddenly innovative now...LMAO..Sonic Fag..
The Werehog is basically getting God Of War...Removing the Blood and Gore and the incredibly satisfying quick time events..Making the framerate chug..Remove all the cool weapons..Tack on some useless RPG elements and call it a day..
BlooLegend 1 year ago
@BlooLegend Technically, in a lot of games, there's a lot of stuff you don't NEED to use, but it makes the game faster or easier. Within the series, it's innovative. Outside, it's a up-to-date conbat game, but not innovative. Useless RPG elements? They weren't useless in GOW, they're not useless here. Are you high? There's QTEs here. Not as elaborate, but hardly unsatisfying. Huh, I'm the Sonic fag yet YOU are the one who thinks a good copy of GOW is terrible? Uh huh...... And Werehog doesn't...

@hellashes I can understand that it's annoying hear "All 3-D sonic games suck" but there is a little truth into that. I mean, Heroes is mediocre at best, a 6/10, Shadow was pretty bad. Bad controls, repetitive gameplay, reused missions, that game sucked a 5.5/10. 06, was bad, Unleashed was a decent game, the werehog did ruin the game for me though, still a 7/10.

Heroes may have been a bit repetitive, but still fun and the final boss mad up for all the kiddiness. 06' was mediocre, but not a Devil's Spawn.

Right, I shouldn't compare the Werehog levels in Unleashed purely because it's Sonic, that makes it a totally different game and unfair to compare with games that are actually good.

He was not made with Medieval action games or RPG's in mind whatsoever.
Why should they create new characters instead of milking Sonic? Because then you can have a completely different story and not have to stick to Canon.

Why don't they?
Because people still buy it, they buy a game because it has Sonic's fucking name on it, that's the only reason people buy Sonic games anymore, know what that creates?
A rational thinking that churning out a below-average game with Sonic in it will sell like hotcakes, because they do, Clover is shut down because God Hand didn't sell well, but Sonic's being milked because people buy a game if it has his name in it.

GOD HAND CAME OUT WHEN PS3 and got over shadow it was clover bad for it not selling.but rolette part in that game is fun!don't buy this sonic game it succs.

saying the same narrow-minded things that you are about those games. and in the end, its a total matter of oinion in games, i know that, but still this isnt the point

Once Sonic and the black knight comes out, ignore the reviews. Listen to fans who played it and decide if you want to get it. The so-called "professional reviews" aren't even professional now.

I completely agree with you about game reviewers comparing new games to how they used to be. I've seen this happen a lot lately where someone will say "oh I don't like that game because its not the same as it was on the NES". Well guess what? games have evolved over the years, get used to it and accept new things. Open mindedness (is that a word?) is a good thing. :D

some people just like to stay stuck in the past. this game is great
DruggyP 3 years ago 6
It's not about staying stuck in the past, it's about realizing that even if this weren't a Sonic game and being compared to past Sonic games all the time, it would still be pretty shoddy. Don't get me wrong, the running levels are absolutely AMAZING, but the Werehog levels are way too long, way too repetitive, and have highly unresponsive controls.
LoneBesamell 3 years ago
What unresponsive controls. And also I think it holds up pretty well against sa2 or sa1. And the werehog aren't even as long as people say. I beat the werehog levels in about 8-10 minutes and some of them were really short. And also they say they werehog is repetitive what was so speacial about knuckles gameplay. He only had about 3 or 4 punches in his combo

heroes and riders were great GC version only tough and 2006 was just unfinished tough i enjoyed those.
SaDX - 44 hours

sonicfan7 3 years ago
I really don't care about story in a game, though the 2nd half really was so facepalm that it had a bit of a lasting impression. Seriously, The transformers thing with Chip and the temples? What the fuck? I REALLY liked the game, and the Wherehog stages were fun in my opinion, and the Day stages are win!
The leveling up was fun! Nice little RPG'ing there.
tnpan 3 years ago
Good call, Hellashes. I agree, and did you notice in the video review on IGN, when he mentioned that there was lousy button response, he pressed X several times to try to jump, instead of A? xD lmao...
They really have to let go of the past, too, you're right. Almost every review for the 3D Sonic games has been "Sonic was great on Genesis" or "*insert random bashing of Sonic 06" XP get over it....

THANK YOU for posting this, not enough people realize there's bias and even less care.
Giantsonic 3 years ago
I think the "Bad button response" is probably referring to the Wii version's Werehog stages... there are some problems with it, until you realize you can just hold down "B". But maybe that's only me.
Good, rational rant.
SpiritSonic 3 years ago
Thanks for your opinion hellsashes, but IGN's doing the same thing, giving their opinion. An opinion can't be wrong, and if they didn't like the platforming, so be it, just let them be.
blatti31 3 years ago
They can have their opinion. The thing is they rated the game down for something that was rated up in a different game.
hellashes 3 years ago
That tends to happen cus' people go into different games with different expectations. Going into Sonic, one would want fast-action paced gaming rather then slow platforms, but when that sort of platforming is expected in another game, of course it will gain points. People are fickle like that.
Also the highly unresponsive controls was a problem on the Wii version only cus' most of the Werehog fighting moves depended so much on the Wii's motion sensor that made pulling combos off painful.
VixinMcCloud 3 years ago
Unresponsive controls? More like bad button timing. This happens in ANY fighting game.
You do the combo but you don't get the right result, and you start thinking "this game's broken" when it's actually the PLAYER that hasn't timed the button presses correctly (or in this case, Wii-remote shakes).
Happens to everyone, you just gotta time your combos properly and stop blaming the game, cuz it might not actually be the game's fault! And in this case? It isn't.

I think the zero punctuation review just nailed everything about the game.
JosefVStalin 3 years ago
Zero Punctuation spent 75% of their review talking about why Werehog is not the technically correct word for Sonic's transformation. Their reviews aren't supposed to be taken serious anyway, so I really couldn't care less what they said about it.
hellashes 3 years ago
I want to know what version he reviewed. I don't remember if he said anything about whitch version he was playing. The only clues in the video were the Wii boxart and the Xbox or gamecube (or wiimote?) stlye controller he was using. I'm just saying this cause the problems he was talking about seem to be more akin to the Xbox version, But if he was playing the wii version, the critical favorite then all I can say I wow what a negative review.

people who listen to "reviewers" are retarded. if youy are a gamer u like the games u like. by listening to reviewers u are taking the opinion of some guy who gets paid to sit on his fat ass play through a game as fast as possible and say some random bullshit about it. its in my general opinion that most reviewers dont even play tghe game. A 4.5 FOR SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEE FUCK YOU REVIEWERS GET A REAL JOB U KNOW NOTHING ABOUT GAMING.
