Awwww…you must have missed where I typed up a list of differences gameplay wise between the WiiS2 version and the Ps360 version.
I’d like to say that the Wii or the Ps2 probably couldn’t handle Sonic running as fast as he does on 360 or ps3 but I’m not entirely sure so much about the Wii. Reason I say that is because of Secret Rings. Speed Break was ridiculously fast in that game and the Wii didn’t chug on it. If anything I think it was a design choice of Dimps for some odd reason.
In any case…I definitely like Ps360’s boost system better since it’s more like Rush and you can control the flow better (I.E. ‘Oh shit a turn is coming…I better lay off the boost!’ instead of ’ I’m already boostin…pulls a Starfox 64 Macbeth train driver I CAAAIINN’TT STOP IIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!’)

EDIT: Read an article about Sonic & the Black Knight. I was right, Arthur is the Black Knight. Exactly as I was complaining about earlier, Tails gets shafted too. The other main characters are members of the Knights of the Round Table. Tails is just a random town blacksmith. Merlin’s apparently a woman in their version of the story, named Merlina :wtf:. The sword will also have it’s own persona within the game, and its name is Calibur.
[/QUote]
already knew about them being a part of the round table…but Merlina is new to me. Don’t know the reasoning behind that. Guess they want her to be a replacement for Shahra from the first one, though she won’t be following and talking to you while you’re running about…the sword is gonna do that for her.
I wanna see more actual game play on this title now though and I hope it doesn’t pull a Red Steel where you’re running around and stuff and this guy walks up to you with a sword and you just GOTTA stop and duel this guy instead of just running his ass through and continuing on.
Yeah, I remember the stuff about the other characters being Knights of the Round Table, but Tails being a random blacksmith is new. And it both supports what I was saying earlier and pisses me off. Why is he getting tossed aside like that?
I just S-ranked shamar night during my 2nd playthrough. The platforming on that stage is kept to a minimum and there is more combat which is my strength. My fave werehog stage is still holoska night(ps3). Empire city night can be unforgiving in the later parts. My fave daytime stage is adabat. Apotos day is a close 2nd. Spagonia day is also dope as hell especially when you boost. What an awesome game! Screw the biased reviews. I highly recommend it.
Well I still have some side stuff to track down, but am done with the main story in the PS3 version now. I hated the Gaia Colossus parts in the PS3 version, the Wii’s Punch Out!! knock-off was a lot better. The fight with Perfect Dark Gaia was pretty interesting though.
As a whole, PS360 version is definitely superior to the WiiS2 version. I’d prolly give it a 9/10, despite the annoyance of the fetch quests and hub worlds. The actual levels and bosses are so much fun, and a great step in the right direction for the series.
Last night I had a dream where I was playing sonic unleashed and my gf dumped me for buying it. Funny thing is we brokeup (not official I just stopped talking to her lol) and I am thinking about buying it…MAYBE.
Hot Dog Missions in Eggmanland are a joke. Seriously… 45 minutes for lvl 3 Time Trial? I can beat that level in 15 minutes.
On the Dark Gaia boss fight, does anyone know how to avoid the laser attack while you are piloting Gaia Colossus? I’ve tried both moving and block, and still get hit. I mean, it’s possible to just plow on through anyway as long as you avoid the rocks, but there must be some way to avoid that attack, right?
Glad to see it’s already sold over a million total (assuming these numbers are accurate)…heck, the game hasn’t even launched on all systems yet in Japan.
It’s a combined sale though. I would be more suprised if it hit a million for one console. I wonder how different will the japanese version be since that version has got more development time. Maybe they might address the frame rate issues for some night stages, adabat day and some hub worlds.
The game getting at least a million copies isn’t surprising for a sonic game. The fans of the series alone will buy the game regardless of how bad or good the game is and there’s quite a big following. Sonic 2006 got to platinum hits status on 360 and Shadow the hedgehog got greatest hits status on ps2…
not really…because each time Sega fucks up, more people fall off the fan wagon and that in turn is going to make it harder and harder each time to get at least to a ‘greatest hits’ status
Edit: you also have to remember that this is a world now where 50 cent’s game can make it to greatest hits status…think about it…
The hedgehog engine might work for the 360/ps3, but I am not sure about the wii. The ps2/wii versions of unleashed used a different engine. The hedgehog engine is designed specifically for the next gen consoles.
oh no…people care. This is the same character that actually became a float at Macy’s day parade and of all characters made at one time stood on the same plateau as Mario. Just that the fan wagon has been dissipating over the years because of bad games. I’m telling you if Sega made a game that somehow appealed to new and old fans and broke the 8 point mark…It would sell reeeeally well cause of memories alone. People don’t mind sonic games…they just want good ones and not something that Sega wiped their ass with.
Just like Sonic 2 VS mode for Genesis. I think a racing mode would add a lot of longevity to the games. it could have different characters with different strengths and abilities. The stages could have multiple paths (as Sonic games always do).
Like a sideways Mario Kart.
It’s amazing, because nowadays people always talk about how Sonic isn’t relevant anymore and how his games aren’t what they used to be…yet, if you look at the vgchartz site you can see just how many post-Sonic Adventure games have sold over a million copies or at least close. It’s crazy.
Like Sonichuman said, all it will take is one well received mainstream game, and the fur will fly. Sonic Unleashed is totally on the right track…
Only if it WASN’T like Rivals where everyone was the same. Seriously, that crap was a total cop-out. The messed up thing is that everything else about it was cool, so it was such a damning flaw.
Tails needs to fly.
Knuckles needs to glide/climb walls.
Sonic ONLY gets homing attack/light speed dash.
Amy needs to play like Sonic Advance 1.
They can’t think of something for Rouge to do to be unique? THINK HARDER.
Sonic unleashed must be doing really well. I went to a shop to get the game for my cousin and it’s sold out, no used copies either! Probably the demo which they released did them a world of good, the cool youtube vids and the sonic name. Glad to see this game doing great. I heard that sonic 06’ sales got lower after the first week, but unleashed is doing way better.
