Review - Sonic Unleashed

First thought -- Hey cool, Sonic is getting the snot beat out of him. He deserves it.
Hey cool, he turned in to a (slightly) cool werewolf thing.
.... .... ....
Why are his arms stretching 400 miles? That looks idiotic.
Is that annoying pesky rat-with-fairy-wings my sidekick?!?!?! *gouges eyes out*

Storyline -- I don't know, I'm not going to torture myself by playing through the whole thing.

Gameplay -- No hub. No finding the levels in a hub. No Chao. The levels are horrible. Everything is even more strait forward then
Sonic Adventure Battle 2. You can ONLY play as Sonic, granted in some levels he is the stretchy-armed "Werehog" of
doom. Those levels are 75% useless fights with ugly enemies, 24% stretching your ugly arms to grab poles and 1%
fun. The levels as regular sonic are slightly more interesting, with the classic "run as fast as you can" base of game
play. Unfortunately, you need to collect rings to go anywhere near "fast" and its all very cheap and almost 2D.
Bosses are frustrating and have to be fought while running on a strait path.

Sound -- I don't know who did the voiceovers, but whoever did needs to have the snot beaten out of him. Sonic sounds like
more of an idiot then he really is, and thats hard. Chip, your sidekick, doesn't really help except when he flies in front
of you, you often go faster, because you are tempted to strangle him. He is supposed to be cute and funny but all he
does is tick you off with his infuriating voice.
And then there's Eggman. At one point in time, he sounded good enough and I didn't get tempted to strangle him
whenever I saw him. Whatever happened to those days?

Graphics -- A bad attempt of good graphics. In other words, just plain horrible.

Controls -- I used a Gamecube controller, but you can use Gameube, Wii/Nunchuck or Wii Classic. Overall controls are fine.

Entertainment -- If you where lost in the desert with only this game to play for entertainment, you would rather entertain
yourself by counting how many buzzards are waiting for a meal in the sky around you.

Overall rating - 10!!! No, just kidding, 5. Maybe 4.5. This game sucks.
