Gameplay Great, Plot Horrible


Of course, it comes out in November, but from what's released, the gameplay looks like it goes back to SA2, which looks promising. But the plot, A WEREHOG??? C'mon! It's the worst idea for a plot since Sonic Heroes. Sonic is a hedgehog, nothing else, right? To Sega, apparently not. Sonic has really gone downhill in the past few years, and this is as far down as it goes.

Ok I know that was from a while ago but there's a story behind it... the story is actually pretty interesting if you ask me...

Sonic Unleashed begins at the end of an untold story which sees Sonic confronting his nemesis, Doctor Eggman, bounding around a fleet of spaceships, and transforming to Super Sonic - Sonic transformed using the power of the Chaos Emeralds - in order to stop him.[7] However, Eggman manages to trap him using a powerful new ray weapon[6] which corrupts the power of the emeralds.[7] He then uses the Emeralds' energy to unleash a powerful beast from the center of the planet[11], which has devastating consequences, shattering the planet into pieces; it is up to Sonic to solve the crisis by travelling the world, finding shrines that will fix the Emeralds, in order to return the world back to normal.[7]

In addition, Eggman's ray also causes an unexpected transformation to Sonic's state.[6] Allusions made in the press release to a new twist to Sonic's abilities, combined with leaked artwork and the official teaser trailer - entitled "Sonic Unleashed - Werehog Teaser Trailer"[6] - indicate that Sonic's progress will be made even more difficult when the ray and the transformed Emeralds have the unforeseen side-effect of transforming him into a werewolf at night.[6]

Tails and Amy are in it. Shadow and Knuckles were originally going to be playable characters but were cut.
