The Good and Bad of Sonic Unleashed

The Opening cutscene of Unleashed is literally a masterpiece. It has that cartoon-but-yet-still-realistic-ish feeling. Even a pinch of anime.

[@Roastatrice]

The cut scene against dark Gaia as well, I mean remember when Sonic got the Werehog ripped out of him and told Chip to “RUN”? It’s chilling because Sonic has faced a multitude of demonic entities and Eldric gods. But now for the first time we see sonic truly afraid. That’s how you make a terrifying villain.

[@ykgcaramel6515]

Fun fact about the wherehog: You can cancel out of any animation during combat by simply just pressing the shield button. This makes for a lot of new faster combo abilities and you should look at the skill tree to find more of the other combos and combine them with your shield cancels to kill enemies way faster + get way more points due to the higher combo counts

Another fun fact: You don't have to immediately press A after being hit by a shockwave or being knocked back by an enemy. Typically, people play like this: >Sneak behind the enemy >Enemy swings his tail, knocking you out >Enemy jumps (which creates a shockwave upon landing) >Player mashes to recover, which causes them to get hit by the shockwave >Rage ensues People don't seem to realize that they can stay down until it's safe and they won't get hit.

No lie I actually like almost everything about the werehog, it’s design, it’s purpose, and the concept. I honestly don’t think the werehog is that bad nor was it unnecessary. It’s one of the most interesting and badass gimmicks in a Sonic game.

Yeah, and I really love the idea behind the Werehog for why Sonic is the way he is there and why he isn't evil because of it. Makes it completely amazing imo

[@AkameGaKillfan777]

The Werehog on its own is still boring, tedious and exhausting. There's tons of combat focused games out there that do everything it fails at better. Different doesn't mean immune to criticism.

[@cullbear55]

@@AkameGaKillfan777 I don't think it's boring. It's fun trying to speedrun and use different combos to spice up the werehog levels. Especially since they all can easily be beaten in less than 10 minutes except for Eggmanland if you know what you're doing.

[@slashback37]

@@AkameGaKillfan777 The combos are cool, and you don't just spam. the platforming is good, the quick time events for the Werehog specifically look so damn cool as well. The only downside was that the only bosses that were good was the Dark Moray. Egg Lancer, and the Dark Gaia Phoenix. Yes, I didn't say Egg Dragoon, he's an overrated boss and its way too damn easy for the 2nd to last boss.

[@derekassarian55]

Sonic Unleashed is the Super Paper Mario of the Sonic series: great game overall, but falls a little flat due to inconsistent pacing as a result of the Warehog stages. If these stages were apart of a different franchise, they probably would have been better. But because the main selling point of Sonic games is speed, the nighttime stages make the game much more of a drag than it should be.

[@timur.1]

[@brandonfazbear4219]

I've been waiting for a Sonic Unleashed Triggered and Mind Blowing videos for years now. YEARS!!! And now it's finally here. I honestly would've been on a rant for much longer about the positives on the game and still bring up my negatives for the game and show my understanding for it but would try to emphasize more on my positive vibes on it as it is my favorite Sonic game of all time if not also my first Sonic game I played as a kid when we only knew of its existence on the Wii. And to be honest, the difficulty variety in versions is nice as the Wii and PS2 versions are much easier but still gave a young and new player such as myself a challenge whereas it's easy for me now as an adult. But now that I've also played the XBox 360 version of it, it feels more directed towards older and experienced players who want a challenge as it is very difficult. Also, I know that you mentioned the QTE, but I'm surprised you didn't even bring up the worst one yet, the final QTE of the game. Also, surprised that Dark Gaia was never even mentioned for such an insane design and concept about a literal god of darkness and destruction tearing up the planet and having the most insane design ever in a Sonic game. But I can't continue ranting any longer or I'd be here all day.

I like the 360/PS3 version of Unleashed more, but I think the Wii version is better for newcomers, since the Werehog gameplay is simplified and the Boost stages have less do-or-die moments. I feel that if you combined the best parts of both, we’d have an absolutely stellar Sonic game. Edit: Also, how could you talk about Sonic Unleashed and not even mention the incredible soundtrack? It’s not only one of the best Sonic soundtracks, but one of the best video game scores ever made.

Honestly I prefer the ps2/Wii version over the ps3/Xbox 360 version because It's not as hard. Also I do have more nostalgia towards the ps2 version because it was my first Sonic platformer.

That's my subjective opinion but both soundtracks are really good and some of the best from this series in my opinion.

I really like unleashed. The day time stages were fun for me (even though most of my game overs were from it) and the werehog stages were as good as the day time stages for me. The music is amazing, and I like all the cutscenes in the game. The hub world was good and I liked searching for the hidden medals in it. As for the medals, I didn't think they were bad. But I guess thats just me since I like exploring levels, although I didn't get that much medals in day time stages since the main point of the stages were to go fast. But I did get a lot from the hub world and night stages. So I didn't have to do a lot of levels for 120 sun medals. And for Eggman land I really liked it even with the difficulty. The final boss was fine, and the music just made it better. Now I'm not gonna overly praise it as "The best sonic game ever!" since I have only played a tad bit of generations and colors and have never played sa1 and sa2 (although I do plan on playing them). I respect if you think that its bad, or if its just meh, because everyones opinion is subjective, and we shouldn't be toxic towards another just because their opinion is common, part of a bandwagon, isn't part of a bandwagon, or a negative opinion of what you like. I know this was a drastic change from what I was saying about unleashed, but I just really needed to say this.

The issue nowadays is that people like take there opinions as facts and spread it as such, I'm not saying that your opinion isn't valid or anything,no one's emotional feelings towards a game is invalid but if your going to make a vid in the internet and you want to be critical,make sure it isn't just your subjective opinion,it has to be a critical analysis of the game about what it has and hasn't and reviewing every single aspect regardless of your opinion,sure, you could include it but make sure you make a distinction,like for example,I don't care about the 2D sonic games(I do know a lot about them and I have played most of them but I don't care to revisit them, sonic3k is the exception),but that doesn't mean I well review them as such,there is no problem to have an opinion on something, but when a post it on the internet people would take this as your supposed critical analysis of that thing,So people would be critical of your opinion that they see as your critical analysis, especially if that thought was wrong on a critical perspective and you failed to make a distinction, keyword here "distinction", What matters the most is to not roust each other over something stopped or dumb when the issue could be resolved by "distinctioning the opinion and the critical analysis,that's all.

This was my first and only Sonic game, and it’s so damn nostalgic. I remember coming home from elementary school everyday playing this game and I loved it.. and it was the Wii version. I never knew how much I was missing out on! 😂

About the Windmill Isle act issue: Acts for Day and Night are separate so the night is act 1 because it is the first apotos night level and the day level was act 2 because act 1 is the first level you play (in the story you are going from where sonic lands on earth after the cgi cutscene to apotos)

Hey Nathaniel, I have a few ideas for future ranking videos: Ranking every Zelda game Ranking every Metroid game Ranking every Crash Bandicoot game Ranking every 3D Sonic game

They're already here.

This is still and always will be my personal favourite Sonic game. Bite me!

[@SheepStar8]

How could you not have mentioned the music and environment design as a plus for these games? I think those aspects might be some of the best in the series.

I'm a few days late but I recently 100% the Wii version of this game and I loved it. I could see why some people don't enjoy the game but I really liked it lol

[@erics802]

The unleashed soundtrack is one of my favorites The unwiished completely skipped Savannah Citadel Day and night and Skyscraper Scamper Day and night Eggmanland or Crimson carnival is better on the wii Version Same goes for the final boss as well

Are the “The Good and Bad of (insert game here)” replacing the “How (insert game here) TRIGGERS You” and “How (instert game here) is MIND BLOWING”?

This was my favorite Sonic Game when I first played it, and it's still one of my favorites today. Definitely not perfect, but there's just so much stuff that I love.

[@HotDogMan420]

The egg dragoon boss(specifically the xbox 360 version) is the best in unleashed, if not one of the best in all of the sonic games

[@averyrandomaccount8972]

Aint you Nathaniel b⁉️

[@ML0830]

I love sonic unleashed. It is my favorite sonic game of all time. The opening cutscene is a m a s t e r p i e c e. The warehog isn’t bad as well.

[@jovani6044]

Unleashed is easily within top 5 sonic games imo Glad you finally got to check it out it for yourself

[@randomman9231]

Remember, some of these aren't accurate to his actual thoughts and feelings.

Sonic Unleashed on the Wii was my 1st Sonic game, and I think it's one of my favorite games of all time!

[@Khyon521]

Combat normally helps when you diversify you combos

[@GWB_Gaming]

What a coincidence I just got Sonic Unleashed on my Xbox 360 yesterday.

[@oddmemes6960]

I played the Wii version before I played the HD version, and in my opinion I think there both great games. They both have there flaws, some more than other, but in the end I enjoyed both of them equally. I’m always for some modern boost Sonic gameplay in the fastest Sonic game I’ve ever seen. I’m also good for some slower pace of the Wii version, and find some good routes and boost right through them to get that S rank

"If Shadow dies in Adventure 2, then how does Sonic survive this?" Well... you ARE playing a game from years after that was retconned tbf... lol

[@Vento.capitaodogpaganossacoca]

Sonic just Said: nah, i'd totally win
