As you visit each continent, you will need to visit various locations (in a point and click manner) and talk to the locals to find out where certain important items and locations are. The game is divided into 7 continents each containing a number of levels. The story in Sonic Unleashed isn’t particularly brilliant, but it works. Luckily, Sonic has help in the form of Chip, another sidekick (there are far too many silly characters in the Sonic universe) who guides Sonic throughout the game. Despite his change (which, consequently, only occurs at night), Sonic must gather his strengths and find a way to restore order to the chaos that has been unleashed upon the world. On top of this, the world was also split into seven continents and Sonic was transformed into a Werehog. Robotnik then reversed the polarity of the Emeralds, unleashing a dark force on Earth known as Dark Gaia. In it, Dr Robotnik (a much cooler name than Eggman) traps Sonic in a forcefield that helped him procure the Chaos Emeralds that Sonic was carrying. At the beginning of the game, you are treated to a beautiful looking cutscene that sets for the scene for the remainder of the game. Will it be the game to bring Sonic back to his former, dizzying heights? Or is it just another nail in the coffin… The premise behind Sonic Unleashed is somewhat unique as it involves Sonic being transformed into a Werehog. Sonic Unleashed is the title of Sonic’s newest adventure. The various modern Sonic titles I have played have been mixed in quality, though even the better ones leave much to be desired. The Sonic games were famous for their insane sense of speed, so with the arrival of 3D gaming came a decline in Sonic games. As the years have passed, Sega have struggled to develop a Sonic title that captures the brilliance of the earlier Sonic adventures. In the golden era of 8-bit and 16-bit gaming machines, Sonic stood shoulder to shoulder with Mario in terms of popularity. Sonic, the famous blue hedgehog, was once a pinnacle in gaming.
