Let's Play Sonic Unleashed! (Part 2)

[@GruntCatcher]

"Hurr hurr Dimps suck" Clement does a good FTA impression

[@FrostTheHobidon]

The Humans in Unleash is Perfect, this is what they should look like with a small amount of Anime in the mix

[@noodles00p]

The Werehog is Sonic secretly fusing with original character Blonic lol

[@genesisrail]

For some reason, when the Werehog said "So when the sun goes down, I turn into this?" I get a strange feeling I can't quite describe......

[@OfficialCyaned]

The Sonic Unleashed demo is what brought me into the Sonic series. If I played the Sonic 06 demo...well...you know.

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

Apotos - Windmill Isle -- The Level that brought back Clement into Sonic.

[@RubyRaggy]

I think the writing in this game was the best in the whole series.

[@MochaBiscuitCafe]

Have you played colors

[@RubyRaggy]

Yeah, there's some really great jokes, but colors is really short, and doesn't have that many cutscenes. Unleashed feels more cohesive.

[@stevespud2707]

Adrian Martinez Colors? That had some of the worst writing imo. My god I facepalmed at everything Rodger the Porcupine said.

[@Keurgui1]

Yup Shadow the Hedgehog had the best writing of the entire series ever

[@stevespud2707]

Keurgui1 We weren't even talking about that game you idiot.

[@tehfoxxy9630]

Several years later... this is still the best looking sonic game... *Squints at Forces*

[@Bloodrun069]

This could have easily been a game where Sonic and Knuckles teamed up to defeat Robotnik, with Knuckles taking the werehog's place, and nobody would complain about it then.

[@stevespud2707]

Sonic "Fuck your picnic tables! Yeaaaa!" God that was too damn funny!

[@michaelaburns734]

Me: You stepped on my chili dog Sonic!

[@VGAfanatic]

I might end up buying Sonic Unleashed again after hearing you speak so positively of it. I actually initially avoided this game because the Werehog segments seemed unnecessary, despite how cool the Daytime gameplay was. However, my Dad got it for me for Christmas (or Birthday, I don't remember which, they're close enough together) and I played it, and actually got a good deal of enjoyment out of the game as a whole. Some gameplay mechanics, it could do without, like grinding for Medals, Homing Attack and Dash being the same button, Quick-time events that can actually kill you if failed in later levels, the nightmarish Eggmanland stage, and Sonic's speed being so fast that you gotta memorize the level to know what's coming. It's not the greatest Sonic game, but it's not the worst, and I can pat it on the back for taking a step back in the right direction.

[@lucaspinke7070]

Clement: He should be a Werewolf-hedgehog! SEGA: Now presenting Sonic The Werewolf-Hedgehog!

[@TheSuperthunderblade]

Its kinda amusing when Sonic says he should be careful about letting people see him as the werehog, but almost instantly forgets that and everyone (excluding Amy) recognises him when he is in that form.

[@FlameUser64]

My only problem with hub areas in Sonic games is that they never follow the design of the actual levels. Take Rooftop Run in comparison to the town around it, for example. Rooftop Run is full of random balloons, grind rails, and loops, but these things aren't present in the town proper. Now, if they made a hub world that could be navigated at full-throttle Sonic speeds, such as by using archways as loops or staircase railings as grind rails, or by using street lamps like those bars you launch off of, now *that* would be a cool hub area. I mean, the world of Sonic has quite a few other anthropomorphic whatevers with various levels insane speed, not just the Blue Blur himself, so it would make sense for towns to be built to accommodate them as well as normal humans.

[@FlameUser64]

***** Well, it would still be non-linear and pretty much completely safe, so it'd be kinda like a giant playground that you also use to access levels.

[@FlameUser64]

***** Come on, you can't tell me it wouldn't be epic to grind on a balcony railing. Besides, why not give you the ability to explore the town at Sonic speeds?

[@FlameUser64]

***** He's Sonic the Hedgehog and anything less than Sonic speed is a travesty as far as he's concerned? =P

[@rickalbuquerque595]

there are these areas in sonic unleashed just go trought the stage gates

[@JinzoFiter]

@@rickalbuquerque595 that, and the main hub of Spagonia has grind rails in it.

[@ssj1k650]

Spot on sonic impression

[@tsangpogorge]

The Werehog had some fantastic platforming sections unlike the boost to win day stages.

[@RogerPyoko]

Boost button turns Sonic into Ric Flair.

[@passing2010]

I have the PS2 version, and I have to admit that I loved playing the night stages, specifically in Spagonia and Chun-Nan.

[@DJ4461]

🎶There are magnets! 🎶programed into the walls!🎶

[@OtakuDeCarnitas109]

Aaaahhhhh, Sonic's foot clipped through a wall!!!!!

[@richieford7393]

It's a shame Clement didn't acknowledge Dan Green there. Knuckles doesn't show up in this game, so he doesn't voice anyone other than the ice-cream man. ..at least, to my knowledge.

[@FrostTheHobidon]

Knuckles and Shadow was going to be in this game, but Sonic Team took them out, because they are afraid they might screw up their gameplay as they did in 06, back then.

[@JinzoFiter]

Dan Green also voices Professor Pickle.

[@ItsZorroDood]

this stage in the HD version is so incredibly beautiful. also i love that rampaging throw the town is their way of finding people who might know chip.

[@Rockmirth]

I wanna hug the werehog sonic. He looks so fluffy.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Me too. He looks scary on the outside, but he is still lovable on the inside. ❤

[@smiles2054]

This is the game that makes cutscene sonic slower and gameplay sonic faster FEELING GOOD!!!!!!!

[@theshadowknows327]

The Werehog's arm stretch kind of reminds me of Monkey D. Luffy's Devil Fruit Powers of the Gum-Gum Fruit.

[@alexandrapagan3222]

Your not the only one.

[@sneshadow]

if sonic unleashed teaches something its that everybody speaks English

[@MasterPringles]

Its been a while since I played the game, but I still think Unleashed has the best Hub worlds from any Sonic game. They look gorgeous, there's somewhat interesting characters to talk to, shops & secrets to look for, and they have nice music.

[@SonicsTwinSonie]

I adore this game :) The game is so beautiful to look at and I love how Sonic is potrayed here. Such a heartwarming game

[@SonicsTwinSonie]

Yeah :(

[@novaspider14gamingchannel18]

Searose i love this game too

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

Until you played the most unfair, most difficult, and most bullshit final levels in any Sonic game. You will dread the day you played on the XBOX 360 when you enter the unspeakable evil that is Eggmanland and Dark Gaia.

[@TailsPrower100]

Windmill Isle was such a fun level! I love the PS2 version just a bit more than the PS3 one, but that's just because I played the PS2 version longer. And I love the music for the level as well.

[@GigaTrope]

Unleashed is the best looking sonic game, the lighting is way better than Generations

[@therapeface4153]

I'm already thinking about that Generations LP

[@stoffhimel]

You are more than correct with the whole "werehog" thing. in old English, were mean man. so does that make sonic a man pig? Hog is another word for pig, after all.

[@TheIntimateAvenger]

I think the Werehog should've been called the Hedgewolf. Sure it's equally dumb, but it's way more fun to say.

[@haganebr]

14:55 "What's with the muscles and hair and stuff?"

[@steamedrice97]

1:37 Even his crawling is fast. Damn.

[@foxxjeh]

One of the things that really bothers me in other sonic games prior to this one, is the use of mo-cap on the animal characters. This game has actual animation put into making the cutscenes, which always looks better in my opinion. Sonic 06 had Sonic having very human realistic moves, and that's uncanny valley territory.

[@InfiniteJexulus]

I think the Werehog would've been fine gameplay-wise if they just let him be a bit faster.

[@PandoloFox]

i disagree i think it would have been a lot better if it didnt lock you into place until youve beaten the crap out of every enemy. the fighting should just have been optional. is it something this game is lacking its optional gameplay. what you dont want to find medals well you have to, what you dont wanna kill every single enemy until you can proceed too bad you have to.

[@Veolynn13]

i agree with clement; this game looks like they fired their art department and hired Aphrodite. which might have actually happened.

[@Whirlwhind1]

To be honest, the medal hunting was never an issue for me. I found enough medals just playing through all the stages normally.

[@gort1863]

when sonics arm first streaced i thought it was a glitch

[@huntcd2012]

I agree with you on the medals being a problem. They're not too bad during were hog stages as those stages are slow paced. But who's gonna want and stop to try and collect them during the day time stages? That really wrecks the enjoyment, but I did still enjoy the game in the end. It just took me much longer than usual to finish.

[@XtraThankYou24]

I felt like all of your energy was drained once you turned into a warhog lol

[@emm3428]

this is one of my favorite 3d sonic game besides sonic heros I think he where hog is awsome

[@NolaFiona]

one thing I never got about this game is when they sleep or is Sonic up all day and night

[@supersonicfan2010]

Dan Green will always sound like Yugi

[@redrum801]

In the recent comics sonic showed signs of the werehog during daytime possibly hinting that if the werehog will appear in the comics like how bruse banner becomes the hulk I know it be a long shot but it might be true

[@iamdavid3498]

I know what everybody says about Sonic 06 and I agree it wasn't very good. But I gotta say my favorite evil character in the whole sonic series is Mephiles. He's awesome!

[@iamdavid3498]

+360ragequit it could've been good, like as far as serious sonic games go. If they got rid of the love interest between sonic and Elise and worked out all the glitches of the game. I yhink

[@GamerGuyd7Aces]

Hey Clement, the reason why Unleashed looks "better" than Generations is because Sega WASN'T Trying to go for a Realistic Look like Unleashed. The whole Theme of Unleashed was Sonic traveling the human world, trying to save it. and you see many different continents with different names. Like Africa (Mazuri), China (Chun-nan), the Phillipines/Pacific Islands (Adabat), Arctic lands (Holoska), Greece (Apotos), The Italian/Meditteranean village (Spagonia), The Middle East (Shamar), and America (Empire City). Generations is not supposed to be surreal in any way.. they're just HD remakes of previous games, and it did it's job Excellently. The levels from the Adventure games look better than before, even Modern games like Crisis City from 06 and Planet Wisp from Colors. So both are great games and use the Hedgehog Engine for their own purpose. I see Generations as a Beautiful Pixar-like game, while Unleashed is the beautiful CGI Surreal game. :) Also another note.. Look at Sonic Lost World.. that game is beautifully HD and 60 fps. But that game is DEF. not realistic looking in any way, shape or form. And that's what Sega was going for, lol

[@ThePreciseClimber]

No, it's because of the changes in the lighting engine.

[@GamerGuyd7Aces]

ThePreciseClimber And Sega did that intentionally. Unleashed was supposed to mimic real world landmarks.. wouldn't make sense if they looked cartoonish. And in real life, lighting is different than in cartoons. Generations was also beautiful too and won an award for Best Game Presentation. Both used the Hedgehog Engine in their own way.

[@GamerGuyd7Aces]

***** Damn, now that I think about it, you're kinda right lol. the Soviet Union's more like it ;)

[@BluRacer7]

***** And you gotta admit, Eggmanland is the one place in the world you never wanna go.

[@GamerGuyd7Aces]

BluRacer7 haha yeah.. kinda like USSR or North Korea lol. this game should of just been called Sonic World Adventure instead

[@Brightbright13]

The end is near, Bottom of the night.

[@fallenhero8296]

That little purple fairy guy, sounds like Chazz from Yugioh GX I wonder if it is him

[@MasterDisaster64]

I like the Werehog gameplay. It's not OK, it's good!

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

I don't think he's even supposed to be a wolf, cuz wolves don't have claws like that...

[@darevice239]

There is one night stage that I love. It is the Xbox360 Empire City night stage

[@haz4997]

In this game the enemies don't actually hurt you until they go to hit you.

[@TIR8013]

8:16 my reaction to unleashed boosting XD

[@The_CrackFox]

the execution was in the end quite good but i am surprised that sonic team would dare use hub worlds in the next game after 06

[@HyperFlame64V1]

Next time on Sonic Unleashed, the Apotos night-time stage and TAILS?!?!?!?

[@sonicboom-xj1tt]

i personally never had that much trouble with the medallions, they were kinda annoying at times though

[@Auronkatamail]

Always loved Apotos daytime theme!

[@Omar_E11]

***** Who doesn't?

[@siljeff2708]

I absolutely hated the medals. One of the top three reasons why I hate playing this game myself

[@jbap7777]

EGGMANLAND NIGHTMARES

[@vimuin]

I have a feeling clement will have a rant about chip

[@jasonreich1133]

I'm so happy you finally got to this

[@ThePrayingMantis08]

Making sparks with the walls? *ahem ahem* Dirty mind activate!

[@TheMrDemonized]

IMHO with boost feature sonic became much more linear, and levels became "highway-like". Also sonic control is like a tank or bus. Personally like adventure style levels and control with spindash

[@NannerMan]

The sidequests in this game are great. Especially the ones that have to do with The Boss and that little girl in spagonia. So many feels.

[@Scorpionspear77]

I like the Werehog. In fact, if Sega ever wants to make Knuckles playable again outside of the Sonic Boom games, I say just alter the mechanics (as in no stretchy arms, add the glide, and more AoE attacks), and boom, you have Knuckles gameplay that I don't think too many will complain about.

[@1stpltpkmnTR]

I personally prefer Generations graphically, but this one is pretty great.

[@lordgaia1812]

Platinum Trainer they are two different styles of graphics like how ssbb and ssbwu look different it's because brawl was going for a more realistic tone but wiiu decided to lean more in the video game nature of the characters

[@jakemoralez5667]

Well, it looks we may finally have a better looking sonic game in the future. Of course, we only seen a CG trailer, but we're talking about a powerhouse of a Ps4, Xbone, PC, and we don't even know how powerful the NX is!

[@alazoneia]

Amazing work clement :D

[@KotoCrash]

To be fair, I never had a problem getting enough medals to continue the story; and I never actively sought them out or tried too hard to get them.

[@OrenjiMura]

it annoying to get them

[@KotoCrash]

***** If you want to get them all sure, if you just want to beat the game you dont really have to try

[@OrenjiMura]

Adam Duffield i didn't like that much at the time i was 11 years old & didn't like searching for them all the time

[@MrMindcontrolz]

I think this is one of eggman's best performance and plan I mean he unleashed the devil on the world, and he messed up the ozone layer which by the way how are cities not completely destroyed due to unbalance yet

[@EnvyMizuhashi]

Who *didn't* replay Apotos in the Unleashed demo over and over again? I was so convinced to get this game just because of how thrilling these new mechanics were.

[@TheDropdeadZed]

Just remember to get EVERY medal in the night time stages, and I mean EVERY one. You may be fine with missing about 5 in total, but more than that and you're going to have a hard time getting anywhere. Remember to get every medal in the hub worlds and the boss battles, because even in the daytime boss battles the medals are usually easy to get.

[@EnvyMizuhashi]

TheDropdeadZed Oh, and uh...have fun beating the last level of the game. It'll totally be worth the time spent on EVERY 10+ minute Werehog stage.

[@TheDropdeadZed]

EnvyMizuhashi I just think that Eggmanland is a good challenge and you appreciate the final segments of the game more after completing a 40+ minute level of pure EVIL.

[@awesomeguy2009]

I remember playing the SHIT out of the demo.

[@williamwhite2568]

EnvyMizuhashi i loved it

[@capeguy3549]

I have no idea why people dont like this game its good and has smooth transitions to transformation and all together it has pretty desent looks

[@drewp031]

I agree with clement at I was just playing unleashed and I was thinking man the graphics look better than generations

[@apexxgamer5720]

Sonic The Hedgewolf!!! sounds a lot cooler at least...

[@pingasluigi25]

I know the Wii/PS2 version has its ups, but as someone who's only played the HD version, the Wii levels just look SO empty, like they look like just mostly empty hallways Sonic runs through with barely any enemies or set pieces or anything.

[@LPGrodus]

Well I kinda expected the people to react differently when they saw Sonic as a were hog... but I suppose those are quiet common in the world.

[@TehJew22]

I missed Clement, did you Grodus? :)

[@supersonicrush337]

Good idea doing a let's play of sonic unleashed

[@tmanuel44]

Wow. Watching gameplay of the HD version having owned the Wii version upsets me. It seems like it has much more to offer. At that point in time I wasn't really keeping up to date with the Sonic franchise so I didn't really check out the coverage for it before release. I just didn't expect the Wii version to be different seeing as how some of the older games were multi-platform as well and they didn't differ. But clearly things changed with the next-gen consoles with the limitations and what not. Oh well.

[@Aa-zx6or]

I have the Xbox and i like that there are no uneccecary characters

[@Bron275G]

I only have the PS2 and Wii versions of this game and it is one of my favorite Sonic games. I never played the HD version because I don't have a PS3 or an Xbox 360.

[@jetsetgaming7210]

+Bagelbite The Snail if you like the wii virsion you like the hd virsion

[@jonhikarizx3631]

3:44 - One quick note I want to make for people in the comments wondering about the extra life count being 13. See, in the SD (Standard Definition) version of Unleashed, you gain extra lives by collecting 1UP items in each Gaia gate's extra rooms. Those extra rooms are locked until you collect a certain amount of Sun and Moon Medals. While most may think that Clement here has a 100% save file, he technically doesn't, for the amount of lives he should have would be 14 instead of 13. Since 0 counts as a life that you have, that means Clement technically has 14 lives, when he should have 15. How do I know this? I 100% completed the PS2 version of Unleashed. Just noting it for the curious. Don't take it the wrong way please!

[@PandoloFox]

haha i gotta say that i like your vid description, it also reminds me of sa1 when amy wants sonic to protect a bird while sonic pretty much refuses because he hasbigger things to take care of. always fun to see the characters prioritys in life change or you know make a 180.

[@TheVitaltundra]

Can't agree this game looks the best. Generations and Lost World look phenomenal. There are some gross textures in this game.

[@IvanovIvanAKrutoi]

3:23 Or another problem on the Xbox 360 version, is that it's possible to freeze the game in Chun-Nan by talking to someone and agreeding to find the missing object.

[@robdarville5408]

Sun Medals? Moon Medals? SonicxPokémon crossover? xD JK

[@swifterxlol6380]

The Wii version of this game is the first game that i played and completed.

[@estebanarias4855]

in the unleashed game (all versions) sonic is going faster than he will do on any game

[@DarkAeroWarrior]

I think in a similar fashion to what Medibot did, someone should make a list of all the medals and such that Clement finds on-screen. Just for fun.

[@rielcarrier959]

i really don't like how long the werehog stages are

[@ethanostrowski4725]

Yeah 11:00 your upload times are amazing!

[@The_Admiral_Angel]

I find it hilarious that Unleashed, Colors, and even Lost World look miles better than Generations. Like how is it that a game like Colors, that was made on a non-HD console, looking better than Generations, that was on superior powerhouse consoles?

[@lordgaia1812]

Pit ピット what are you talking about form what I've seen Gen looks miles better than colors(not saying colors looks bad, it looks great for the system)

[@The_Admiral_Angel]

Lord Gaia 777 True, but it's just that Generations has more pixels showing than Colors does...depending on which system you play it on.

[@CRAIGGU4]

I won the Wii version, since I don't have a 360 or Ps3 (I use the PC for most multiplats) So seeing the hub worlds not suck and how much faster the game is kinda blows my mind.

[@awesomeguy2009]

If you have a pc, get generations for it and, install the unleashed mod. You can play the unleashed levels in sonic generations pc! It's fantastic!

[@michaelaburns734]

Wish I owned it. One day I will get it.

[@dragonheart81vids]

I prefer the Werehog over regular Sonic, but that's just me.

[@michaelaburns734]

Underated gimmick.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Next to Super Sonic, The Werehog is my favorite transformation of Sonic. The Werehog is awesome! 😎

[@RtDM_TV]

I love boost to win

[@daveKoRnfan]

Funny enough back when I first got the game way back at its release date I loved the night time sections lol I know people hate them and I'm not saying I don't know why, I do get it. But personally I like them, splitting the game up into 2 play styles gives you more variety. And it's not like they didn't put time into the night time sections, being able to upgrade sonic is great. Maybe it's just because I like beat em up/ hack and slash games, in fact when I got the game I also had ninja gaiden 2 for the 360 as well and loving that game so much I compared the night sections to that at the time

[@ZombieGorilla1]

Unleashed has the best soundtrack in the series to me (except the Werehog theme).

[@Scorpionspear77]

The Quick Step would have made some parts of Sonic 06's Mach speed sections so much easier. May have made some of them tolerable
