We all know that Sonic hasn't had the best of luck with this generation's consoles. While Sonic and The Secret Rings received MOSTLY good reviews, it wasn't enough to put everyone's favorite anthropomorphic hedgehog back on track. Especially after following the game most people refer to as "Sonic: The Disaster".
After this recent torrent of average to horrible games, many fans of the series have become jaded and cynical beyond all help. Can you blame them, though? After being disappointed that thoroughly so many times, you're bound to change your outlook on a lot of things. There may be hope yet, however. This latest title promises to return the series to it's roots. This means loops, speed, and 2D platforming. It's all there, as well as a few 3D segments that are reminiscent of the Adventure series. All in all, it looks pretty promising! There's just one gripe that most people have...
Apparently, Sonic transforms into a beast that people are calling "The Werehog" when the sun goes down. People compare this werewolf-esque transformation to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and how Link changes into a wolf when exposed to twilight. Personally, this "were hog" looks more apelike to me. Kinda like Sonic on a roid rage..
Anyway, this could be the first step towards a recovery for Sega and their mascot... However, if this game bombs as hard as most of his recent titles... It could be the final nail in Sonic's coffin. Only time will tell...
Here's a collection of videos related to Sonic Unleashed if you haven't seen them yet.
