Sonic Unleashed (Mobile)

mh:awesomegames:Sonic Unleashed is a 2008 platform game developed by mh:awesomegames:Sonic Team and published by Sega for the mh:awesomegames:Wii, mh:awesomegames:PlayStation 2, mh:awesomegames:Xbox 360 and mh:awesomegames:PlayStation 3. This page will focus on the mobile version which was developed and published by Gameloft.

Plot
Dr. Eggman uses the Chaos Emeralds to turn Sonic into a werehog. After that, The doctor tosses Sonic back to Earth and finds a creature next to him who lost his memory, so Sonic names him Chip. Together they travel around the world to stop Eggman.

Why This Mobile Version Unleashes Sadness

 * 1) Mostly unimpressive graphics compounded by an awful frame rate due to the hardware limitations. It also depends on the phone.
 * 2) Really bad jump controls. These controls make this port nearly unplayable in later stages.
 * 3) The early stages, on the other hand, are too easy.
 * 4) This version of the game makes many unneeded changes to the story that end up not making sense:
 * 5) * Apparently, there is no such thing as Dark Gaia, the Werehog form is tied directly to the Chaos Emeralds;
 * 6) * Chip's appearance makes no sense and is never explained (he doesn't even get his memory back!);
 * 7) * It is never explained what happens to the Chaos Emeralds after Dr. Eggman steals them to turn Sonic into a werehog;
 * 8) * This port fails to mention that the planet has been split apart, making traveling around the world pointless;
 * 9) * And lastly, the Gaia temples are nowhere to be seen.
 * 10) There are only 11 stages spread across 4 countries in this version. 3 in Chun-nan, 2 in Apotos, 3 in Spagonia, and 3 in Mazuri.
 * 11) None of the town NPCs make any sort of appearance in this version, Not even Professor Pickle.
 * 12) Tails isn't in this version either, so it's unknown how Sonic travels from one country to another.
 * 13) All you do in the werehog levels is move right, get though repetitive platforming obstacles, destroy enemies and occasionally fight a boss.
 * 14) There is barely any combat as the werehog, you just keep pressing the attack key and enemies eventually die.
 * 15) Dr. Eggman's sprite has barely any animation.
 * 16) Atrocious sound design:
 * 17) * The sound effects do not play while the music is playing, once again, due to hardware limitations on many of the phones;
 * 18) * The sound effects are not good;
 * 19) * The music doesn't loop, so after the whole song plays, it is just silence;
 * 20) * And the Android version rarely has music playback.
 * 21) * It's worth mentioning that there is no excuse for sound design this bad, as other J2ME games did it much better.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Some of the sprites are decent.
 * 2) The tilesets in the levels are well done.
 * 3) Unlike other versions of Sonic Unleashed, there are fully explorable underwater sections.
 * 4) * You can still run on top of the water as well.
 * 5) The gameplay in the day stages is very similar to Sonic Rush.
 * 6) The HUD is actually pretty faithful to the Xbox 360/PS3 version of the HUD.
