Sonic Unleashed (Wii) Holoska Cool Edge Nighttime Stages

[@leonardocouto3109]

I love how well paced the levels in the Wii/Ps2 version are. Seriously, breaking the Werehog levels in 3 bite sized challenges was an ingenious idea that allows the player to stop and come back whenever they want, knowing how much ground they need to cover. The levels themselves feel well paced, as in you have a good feel of when a level starts, how much you've progressed and when it'll end and it does so both with level design and its challenges. Take the Ice Temple level, for example. You begin at the very entrance, make through the platforming challenges in the many different chambers and halls, arrive at a single room with the keys challenge and then reach a final showdown against a horde of enemies and two giants. Might not feel like too much, but there's something of a progression of how you advance through the temple's dangers and reach its core; a self-contained story, let's say. Not to mention the story told in the three different levels, overall: you start at a Holoskan village, walk over the snowy setting, reach an area with icebergs and water, as well as cold, cold crevasses and arrive at the temple. You're actively seeking the temple and it's not just in Holoska, but ALL the other levels in the games have something similar! Sonic Unwiished might not be the greatest show of ludonarrative resonance, but hell; the levels are.

A lot more environmental variety in the Night levels in this version, and this one is a good example. I mean, a freaking ice temple? Didn't see that in the HD version.

[@must-love-cats]

I always thought Holoskas night stages were alot prettier in the PS2/will version.

[@marcusmoore4819]

Then you’re color blind lol But I respect your opinion

[@slimballs9650]

@@marcusmoore4819 I honestly love the Northern Lights you can see in the SD version.

[@jammychoo]

Gotta love how the first section of the Aurora Snowfields is the PS3/Xbox360 hub world lol

[@gokublack9724]

@Marcus Moore I think he was talking about the art design, not the actual graphics

[@calebcalhoun9847]

Jesus the nostalgia from even just the intro. I have the ps3 Version, but i do miss the ps2 night stages.

[@tikprpro03]

Anyone else notice how the beginning of Act 1 is actually the Holoska hub world from the HD version of the game?

[@jorgezorrilla835]

Yea

[@DA_BOID]

Somebody really said, "What if we turn Sonic into Kratos?" Regardless of the incredibly ridiculous concept, the music will always be iconic to me.

[@must-love-cats]

In fact ALL of the night stages in the PS2/Wii version are prettier and more fun to play.

[@jordancromwell]

No its not the hd version has better design and you only had to play one level. All of the night levels besides will only take you 3 to 10 minutes if you skip all the exploration for medals. The hd version has combos while this version dosent so it gets stale real quickly and the werehog controls are slippery as fuck. Each of the night levels are 5 min, and since your playing 3 acts thats 15 min of the werehog which is longer than the hd version. This version is inferior to the hd version.

[@jordancromwell]

PRETTIER?! Dude stop lying.

[@marcusmoore4819]

SUCCESSFUL JORDAN He’s just being a biased fanboy cause he doesn’t have the PS3/360 version lol

[@solekman916]

@Danny The gamer Fair, but i definitely prefer the PS3 version. This version's okay though and it definitely had some aspects I like (The spindash, some night levels, etc.)

[@Phoenix_Destiny_Kai]

@@jordancromwell Objection. The fact you play multiple night and day stages in a Sonic game? Huh, it's almost like they're ACTS or something...... Seriously though, the HD version is tough to get the S Ranks on. And you don't even get anything for it either.

Play it on the wii instead, There's literally no frame drop that i remember of in my whole childhood.

[@helios2664]

AxlPaxl Because the wii was less powerful than it’s counterparts at the time, so graphics and level length for day time stages took huge nerf.

[@slimballs9650]

@@helios2664 Considering the slow pace of the night stages, I’d consider that a buff.

[@raptorzeraora2632]

Nah, the ps3/xbox360 version is superior

[@axlsynth9300]

@@raptorzeraora2632 I agree, I do enjoy playing a fast running character on 5 - 25 fps. Really makes you feel the speed.

[@avideogamemaster]

Best nightime stage, imo

[@superiorgamedude]

My favorite levels in the game, especially the temple.

[@lawliet5940]

8:39 I think that happened to all of us XD

[@MisterCofla]

18:15 Is this nerf? That I remember there were other enemies out there, which even they could break things, causing you to lose I say it because it is the only level that I could not pass in the whole game, if it was not for the enemies that broke something was for the time that I could not reach I was about 10-12 years old, I think when I play it

[@blueblur98]

is this running on real hardware?

[@youngtjthagreat1898]

Music 👌

Yeah and you don't have to pay for them.

[@imme9246]

I'll never understand how this got better ratings than the ps3/xbox ver

[@aforce4454]

I'm me it’s because of the day stages

[@liammcguire1954]

@@imme9246 the Wii version has better level design and controlling sonic isn’t as slippery. It also has a better ranking system

[@raiverns9620]

why are sonic's vertexes calculated in fixed point on ps2 that literally hasnt been a thing since the n64

[@slimballs9650]
