I remember it took me 45 minutest to beat Eggmanland. No Sonic game should have a level that long.

Sonic levels are all amazing. Werehog sucks.

The Sonic levels in Unleashed set the ton for all Sonic games going forward though, so it does have some praise for it. That Sonic formula is the best 3D sonic.

If there existed a version that didnt include the werehog stages it would be the best sonic game hands down

Well, idk. Eggmanland is a nightmare. But i guess there isnt much competition

i think people just didn't want a beat-em-up sonic. i don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. it's not particularly glitchy or janky or anything, from what i remember

what's stupid about it? it's a basic portmanteau of werewolf and hedgehog, and unless you're some pendatic whiner like the completionist, there should be absolutely no room for confusion or frustration over it

I like upgrading and shit. One reason I've never gotten into sonic. I remember unleashed having some of that

I'm thinking about getting Colors but the above point may reduce my enjoyment if its just straight platforming, blasphemous as I'm sure that sounds

Why

better stages, more difficult, faster sonic

Could just be a preference thing, but i have better memories of playing unleashed

Quick time events.. Ugh..

Product of that time. Maybe I should just get the game and add it to my collection if nothing else. They're not remastering it, right?

Sonic Colours would be great if the wisps weren't involved. Why Sonic Team insist on stuffing them into every game after Colours is beyond me.

Didn't play it. Watched through it. The werehog idea seemed good and it was fun to see a new level but I got sick of watching them within a minute or 2.

Music was nice though. Both versions of the stage that looked like SE Asia (can't remember the names of the levels, just where in the world they appeared to be) had great music., and the final boss' final form had the best Sonic final boss music of all time imo (amd there are lots of really ones over the years).

The issue with the werehog stages is the pacing. The enemies usually are damage sponges rather than actually being challenging, and the game loves to stop you ever so often. It's not the beat-em-up part itself that's the problem per se; it's just that they didn't make it flow well.

The speed stages are fun, except that there are a lot of sudden pits and the like that you'll keep dying to until you memorize the stage. You can tell that they learned from this as Colors and Generations speed sections give a lot more warnings and the like.

Boost gameplay never wowed me, and the other half wasn't good either. At least they still had the old voice actor though, he was a lot better.

The actual Sonic stages are good. Later on they wind up with a lot of death pits and sudden dangers, but they tend to be really generous with checkpoints. Sonic is pretty unwieldy, as well, but it mostly works.

The werehog isnt terrible, so much as tedious and repetitive for reasons already noted. But have another: the battle music track is really long, but plays from the beginning in every. single. combat. encounter. It sucks in part because its all too easy to realize how it could have been so much better.

Id say its good. Werehog levels could / should have been shorter. Regular Sonic levels could have been more plentiful.

Some of those levels were frustrating as fuck though tbh.

Do love me some Rooftop Run and Windmill Isle though.

I played this game on Wii and the werehog levels controlled like shit. Half the time it wouldn't even register the motion controls so i'd just be flailing wildly hoping my character would do something.

The sonic levels were OK.

Mixed bag.

Daytime levels? Fun and solid. Maybe one or two outstanding levels.

Nighttime? Good music, but they're boring pointless buttom smashing fests that go on way too long with questionable controls.

Its bad. The Sonic levels were fun-ish but had a bit too much hold-right-and boost-to-win for my taste.

The Werehog levels were ass and like 4x longer than the Sonic levels, so even if it was Sonic->Werehog->Sonic->Werehog you still end up spending a significant amount more time playing as the Werehog.

Played the Wii and the 360 versions, and enjoyed them both

I didn't mind the werehog as much but in the Wii version, day stages lasted like 3 minutes while night stages lasted like 30-45 mins.

Love the aesthetics of the areas, and it has one of the best soundtracks of all time

Mediocre. This game started the senseless gotta go fast crap that has ruined 3D Sonic. No game from Sonic golden era was gotta go fast nonstop yet you constantly hear people and reviewers say they only play Sonic to go fast and not slow down yet the classic genesis games had tons of platforming, exploration and various slowdowns.

unleashed boost gameplay is fun in moments but very shallow. The werehog is okay, maybe it doesnt belong in a Sonic game but I think anything allowed in any game as long as its good but the werehog is average at best unfortunately.

The Sonic levels were pretty good - probably some of the better ones for modern Sonic games.

But the Werehog bits were really dire.

Even ignoring the 45 minute long Werehog stages, the game is still a gummed down mess because of the sun and moon tokens you have to collect.
