Sonic officially Unleashed

I AM GETTING THIS GAME!

This game looks fun. I getting it for the Wii

Does it use the the same controls as the last sonic wii? I hope not. Anyway I hope this is finally a good sonic game, its been too long.

i for one am ok with 3d sonic and sonic 06 was awesome and yes i have beat the game and last story any way i will defenetly buy this game.

looks good, might pick it up

Looks Alright think l'll buy

melle combat? might be pretty good. even if it's not, we still got that trusty homing attack, which, yes, is still in, if u've seen trailers

Looks so much better than sonic the hedgehog 360

A fun looking sonic game im dreaming this better be good

I hope this is the best sonic game of all time. 3d or 2d. They better listen to the fans.

It looks like Sega finally got the hint that Sonic is destined to be a king of side-scrollers, not 3D and...{shutter} hoverboard racing. I hope Sega makes a comeback here because they desperately need it.

if there is going to be a melee system i hope it will be fluid as that you do attacks that keep you moving for instance: an attack that will grab the enemy will running then jump ahead quick pile drive then use the enemy as a spring board to keep moving: instead of stopping and then throwing a punch

sonic going hack'n slash awesome!

I really do hope that this one will put Sonic back on his feet and start a chain reaction of more good games. If not, then I completely will lose hope in Sonic and just have to play Brawl or any other Sonic game that was good like Sonic Adventure 1 and 2.

this game looks like it good go either way. the trailer shows high speed intense, never slowing down fast paced runs that remind me so much of the original Genesis games. Plus the mix with 3d play seems cool too. The melee combat could go either way. If they do it right, and include it mostly for lets say boss battles, it could be great. I loved using sonic in SSBB. But if they try to throw it into those high speed runs, it could go terribly wrong. And for chrsit sake, a werewolf sonic? If that is in the game, it will be the dumbest thing in the world. It was annoying in Twilight Princess, and in a sonic game, i don't really see how changing from one animal to another is gunna change the gameplay.

The one thing I'm none too thrilled about is the melee combat. That being said, they haven't really qualified the statement by saying what type of melee combat. I have a hard time seeing sonic throwing a punch and I never even picked up the Magic Glove in Sonic Adventure 2, so I've yet to see him throw a guy. That being said, this game looks like fun. A little departure from the original Sonic formula isn't always the abomination most critics and "fans" make it out to be. Then again, I'm one of the scant few who enjoyed Shadow (the cursing was weird coming from Sonic, though. Shadow and Knuckles made sense, and maybe even Espio, but not Sonic). I liked it for what it was and didn't decry it for being a bit slower than most Sonic games (though the way I played my first time through, that "problem" was mitigated-- indiscriminate slaughter is your friend). I love the old Genesis games for what they were as well. They were fast and fun and it was good. Shadow was an adrenaline rush in its own way, gritty and compelling, with environmental weapons (always a plus in my book). Sonic Unleashed looks like it will be more like the portable and classic Sonic games and less like the more recent crop of 3D games. Or I could be completely wrong. Either way, it looks great from the little I've seen.

I REALLY hope this is the BEST 3D sonic game of all time. One thing Sega should try is switching the people in charge of the gameplay mechanics for portable systems with the console people.

Could be decent. The Sonic Rivals type gameplay combined with the 3D gameplay should be interesting. Here's hoping.

It's true about the werewolf or werehedgehog. I've seen a picture, and a movie. In the movie, the backround was white and someone was whistliing. Then a gloved hand comes while flipping a ring. Then, the backround turns black and a dark blue, sharp clawed, big, ugly hand grabs the ring and smashes it into the ground.

Looks very promising. I'm sure this will be the highlight of all 3d Sonic games. The way the game is played, it's a little similar to Paper Mario except there's no paper, stats, etc.

Looks like the're going with the whole "Dark/Light" thing that has been done in Twilight Princess and Prince of Persia. I have no hope for this game, the Sonic Team has failed me to many times.

Please! Let's all hope it is a great as old school Sonic mixed with some sweet Next Gen grahpics!

It looks interesting, lets hope it'll be better than secret rings....or the past 3D Sonic games 4 that matter.

aw man, this looks good! I hope SEGA doesn't mess this up, or I'm done with Sonic!

To InsaneTyranitar about the Robotnik/Eggman confusion. On one hand I agree with you 100%, and I'm more of an "acquired" Sonic fan (he had to grow on me. I didn't really like him till Snic Adventure. I was a Big N fanboy back in the 16-bit days). Its just like Koopa/Bowser. I, on the other hand, call him "Robotnik" cuz' I just think "Eggman" sounds stupid.

I have no hopes.... the 2D sonic games are timeless milestones ... compare sonic2 or even sonic1 to any other game that came out the same time... especially compare it to super mario world, you will notice that the 2Dsonic games are still absolutly eyecatcher and a charm to play

At least they are realizing that the sonic games suck. But if it was so easy for them to just snap their fingers and say, "Ok, we'll make a good sonic game now!"... why didn't they just do that before? That's why I believe this isn't going to pan out very well.

I agree Darkreaper_1, but I would at least keep knuckles and tails too as long as i dont have to do any more digging missions with knuckles. The rest of the characters can go.

I just hope and pray that this Sonic game doesn't suck like the many previous 3D incarnations of the blue spiky one....although i'm not very optimistic. Maybe they should go back to the 2D side-scrolling games of old when Sonic was a legend and the games baring his names ruled (and still kick-ass to this day). Sonic has always been about break-neck speeds and i can't see how that can be properly and seamlessly put into a 3D environment. Also ditch all these little side characters that have plagued the Sonic games. When i buy a Sonic game i want to be Sonic and not one of his "friends".

Okay iam one of the remaining true sonic fans, and have loved sonic since the genesis. sonic & Knuckles was the very first game i ever played as a gamer. On the genesis, sonic was awesome and the sonic adventure series was even cool. But sonics last title on the ps3, 360, and wii was a huge dissapointment. There were just way too many glitches. Even though recent sonic games have dissapointed many fans of the series, im not going to give up on him. I hope the sega team makes this game a good one, even if they have to release it in 2009 or 2010. I just want a sonic game that is worth playing.

This game looks like it will finally bring something new to the franchise. I look forward to it.

To everybody who's complaining about Eggman/Robotnik's name change..... From Wikipedia: Due to a split storyline between the Japanese and American/European Sonic games, the character of Robotnik/Eggman has been known by several names in the various media and adaptations of the Sonic franchise. In Japan, the character has always been known as "Doctor Eggman" since his introduction in the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. However, in early American and European game versions and other media he is known as Doctor Ivo Robotnik. Although, despite this, both names slipped occasionally in the different regions. In case you don't bother to read it, it basically says that his name has aways been Eggman in Japan. SOA simply fixed it in the later Sonic games. You can call him Robotnik if you want. Just don't complain about his original name and accuse people of not being true Sonic fans if they use it. True sonic fans are rare enough these days without you people scaring them off. As for the game itself, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the return to a 2-D perspective gives me a glimmer of hope, but on the other hand, the whole werewolf concept seems like a cheap Twilight Princess ripoff. We'll have to wait and see.....

The sonic fans is on thin ice, if they loose this game there will not be an other sonic game, because this is the game that probe-bly will save or destroy sonic. But if they fail to succeed, the future will look very dark. If they don´t work with the glitches and the frame-rate, the game will fall and sonic fans all around the world would be disappointed.

the video isn't too bad, looks like sonic rush. it would be better if there were some enemy placements to make it remotly interesting. as for this whole melee combat thing, sonic team please die. fast.

Sonic you ruined me after your 360 debut...... I'm sorry but you just have to go........................

It amazes me that gamers are always crying out for something original and different, and critisize a game when it's not over-flowing with brand new concepts, but when a developer actually does do something different and "breaks slighty from the franchise", they still get critisized for it. When something original does come along, it's always "It's not enough like this game", or "They should have made it like this game", make up your minds people, please. Do you want originality or don't you?...

I saw an Eggman/Robotnik argument... People. In the western games, his name has always been Eggman. This is shown in a majority of the Game Gear games, as well as Wing Fortress Zone. However, Robotnik was given in the manuals and (spelt poorly) in Sonic Fighters. His name now is Dr Robotnik and still is, but Sega use his nickname 'Dr Eggman'. Who really cares? Anyone who calls him Eggman is still a true Sonic fan. Maybe Eggman's easier to say? Anyway, I can't wait for this game. 2D mixed with 3D aspects will hopefully make the game unique, and I can't wait to see the Werewolf

Sega has a lot of work to do to convince me to buy this one.

Combat mechanics, combat mechanics? WTF. Just give us Sonic in 2D platforming with 3D graphics (New Super Mario Bros, anyone?) I'm tired of seeing the blue guy suffer like this

"Breaking slightly from the franchise's traditional platforming roots"... "Breaking from the franchise's"... "BREAKING from..." Oh boy... Do developers never learn? They never listen? Besides... "the game will feature both 3D and 2D gameplay"... Yeah, that did wonders for the Megaman X series, didn't it?

To begin with, i really enjoyed sonic and the secret ring, to end with: i don't have a lot of faith in this game 8) but hey, i don't know very much bout it either... maybe it will proove us to be a hit... ye..

Nice. Thats good news.

...please don't let this turn out to be Legend of Sonic: Twilight Hedgehog....

i have not played a good sonic in a LOOOOONG time, so please.........PLEASE dont be a crap game, please!!!!!

I'm sorry, Sonic. I just don't have any more faith in you.

Damn it. Stupid PS2 version...Anyone wanna guess what the Wii version is gonna be? Hello another PS2 port with tacked on motion controls...

I loved him on the original Sega, and the Dreamcast was amazing adaptation as well. Everyone after that just sucked, hopefully this one will be as good or better than the Dreamcast version.

Huh boy, Sonic's gonna become almost completely irrelevant if Sega doesn't make this game at least decent. Come on Sega, don't let Sonic and his fans down...

This game looks so freakin' sweet! SEGA! DO NOT SCREW THIS UP!
