Review: Sonic Unleashed (Playstation 2/Wii)

unleashed

Ohh boy, do I have words to say about this. So before you get all excited, this ISN’T the Sonic Unleashed in all the trailers and stuff. This version was made for the Wii and PS2 by DIMPS, creator of the Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush games, and not to put too fine a point on it, it’s a sloppy port that entirely lives up to the infamous Sonic Cycle.

TGS ‘08: Sonic & the black knight

Garbage is one of many words I’d use to describe how this looks and will end up being. It may be forward of me to jump the gun considering I haven’t played the game, but can you blame me!? Sega have been churning out shitty Sonic games on consoles for 10 years and they don’t look like they’re any closer to getting a game right now than there were back in 1999. It’s beyond a joke. Sega can’t even get a game right where all Sonic has to do is curl into a ball and collect rings really fast, yet they feel they’re adept enough to throw sword fighting into the mix. They should’ve called this game Sonic & the recipe for disaster, because that’s what this game is. Sonic should never be given a sword. EVER!

The game looks bland. The only cool aspects of the trailer was the FMV sequences shown, the way the trailer was edited and the cool music which reminded me of the old Pokémon cartoon theme song. Other than that, it looked like garbage.

Let’s how this recipe for disaster all pans out when the game releases next year.

Sega Superstars Tennis

Sega have a new Tennis game in the works. Some of you may have been hoping for a new Virtua Tennis game, but instead you’ll have to make do with Sega superstars Tennis. As you may have guessed from the title, Sonic once again gets whored out like a sex slave.

 

 

I’m sick at the sight of Sonic right now. But as the proud owner of a Dreamcast it’s great to see Beat, Ulala and Amigo back again. Their appearance in their own respective sequels on Wii is long overdue. (Somebody please pass Sega the memo!) Other Sega superstars to make the cut are Virtua Fighter’s Akira Yuki, Billy Hatcher from the GameCube platformer Billy Hatcher & the giant egg and of course the under age bangin’ crew: Tails, Amy and Knuckles. I’m hoping that a couple more of the Dreamcast’s breakout stars will show their faces too. I’m rooting for the mice or the cat from Chu chu rocket, with the VMU being a secret character.

Sega superstars Tennis is based on Virtua Tennis’ engine and this alone has me wanting this game, because Virtua Tennis was robust and I absolutely loved it on the Dreamcast. We can expect some twists to the proceedings though, namely character exclusive special shots and power ups.

Sega superstar Tennis will be releasing worldwide in March for all major platforms. I think we know how this is gonna go. The Xbox 360 will feature the best online play setup, with the Wii version sporting some Wii remote action. Hopefully the Wii version will also feature online play, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if it didn’t.
