If you know 'Sonic The Hedgehog' and most of you will, you are certainly aware of that the franchise had ups (16bit) and massive downs (for example the overshit 360/PS3 Sonic). So here comes 'Sonic Unleashed' which is aiming back for the roots of this once genius series. Sonic was best in 2D and having a look at this video it is promising. But at the same time there are camera turns going 3rd person making it look like it's better not speak of predecessor. And I found me thinking if I would really spend 60 bucks on this game... Doesn't it look more like an Arcade game? Wouldn't 800 points be the better price for this. After all Sonic has lost a lot of quality over the last decade. In the golden 16bits he was fighting for the crown of Jump'n'Run with Mario but these days it's obvious that Mario won. And remember what games you could buy and play instead: Too Human, Grid, Fable 2, Fallout, Far Cry 2, The Force Unleashed, Soul Calibur 4, Street Fighter 4 to name only a few.
Seems like I have lost faith in the blue hedgehog. I guess no one expects a 9.something game with this title. Does Yuji Naka work on this? I am not sure, but I don't think so. Just have a look at the pic above - Sonic on the cover of the Nintendo Magazine - who would have ever think something like this would become possible? Let's just hope this thing won't fail.
