Sonic Unleashed is coming...
« on: June 18, 2008, 10:40:48 pm »
A new trailer for the upcoming Sonic Unleashed game has recently been released. You can see a high-definition version of it here.



I'll say that it looks great and moves well too, although it looks to be a bit too much "on rail". Another big point of worry is the Werewolf Sonic gameplay which will put speed aside for fighting apparently. The good news for me is that a Wii version is planned, although it will definitely look uglier than this, sadly.

yay, I hope will be released for PC, too. I really liked Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Heroes.

The trailer looks very promising, although the speed sometimes seems to be even too high. But maybe there are many scripted passages :)

Now that my Wii has arrived, I'd really like to track down both Sonic Adventure games for the GameCube to finally know what I've been missing. With some luck, I can track down new copies of both.

I never played the first one, but I have the second one. The only worthwhile stages are those with Sonic and Shadow. The others are painfully boring.

Woohoo! I just found Sonic Adventure DX for 5$! Of course, the disc is scratched to hell, but if it still works it's one hell of a bargain.



The SA games are of course flawed, like any games (SADX forces you to play as *Big* in order to get the true ending, which is about as horrible as it gets; SA2 has those tedious treasure hunting levels with Knuckles and Rouge) but they're still both the best 3D Sonic games in my opinion. Heroes looks boring with a really kiddy story, while Shadow features weapons, vehicles, tons and tons of 'radical angst', and a story that completely retcons SA2's backstory.



Anyway, the worst thing now is that I have to wait until next week to play my Wii for the first time.

Sonic Unleashed looks a little more promising than Sonic '06 did.  Let's just hope that Sonic Team doesn't mess this one up.  (I hear that they replaced most of their staff after the Sonic '06 fiasco.)  I like the 2.5D thing.  There should be more 2.5D games.

Actually, Sonic '06 didn't seem to be so bad a game, but apparently it's completely crippled with bugs due (as it often happens) to a rushed release. When will publishers learn!?

They'll learn when they stop looking for quick cash grabs.
