The next thing is the story, people say it's stupid and too light-hearted. >_> I think the game should have had the boost as only optional, but I would still use it nevertheless, I love the daytime stages and it's gameplay. Glitches and bugs are nonexistent, and the controls are fine, I had NO control problems whatsoever, give credit to Hilary Failstein for getting people to believe the game had bad controls. I do agree that the boost was over-prioritized in the game, but it gave you a sense you were Sonic himself running through those stages, giving you a sense of speed and adrenaline. They showed some of the best of Sonic's gameplay in the Modern Era. SEGA only wanted to do something different to give some variety.Īnother thing on the daytime stages. Imagine playing as Sonic only, watching him run through these stages for almost 7-8 hours, with no variety. Yes, it could have been better, or replaced with Knuckles, because he's more fit for the brawling style. So yes, you pretty much get my point on the Werehog, I like it, and I see no sense why its bashed so much. >_> Most elements, such as a the puzzle solving, and strechy arms mechanics came from Ristar, a game also made by Sega.

The Werehog is pretty fast compared to similar brawlers like God of War. It isn't even "slow and boring" as people make it out to be. I have no problem with the Werehog at all. It's like to them they they instantly forgot about the daytime stages, which were amazing. Sonic fans complain about useless reasons to criticize the Werehog, and say it ruins the whole game altogether. Well, yes, it was unfitting for a Sonic game, but it changed the pace well from the speedy daytime stages, and did a good job doing so. The main criticism from reviewers and fans alike was the Werehog. After that, many people, mostly Sonic fans were tricked to believe that is was a horrible game nobody should ever play. His final verdict was a 4.5, which is lower than the score IGN gave SONIC '06.

The most infamous of the reviews is Hilary Goldstein's review of the 360 version of Sonic Unleashed. Why do people hate Sonic Unleashed so much? Well, it comes to the "professional" reviewers that had gotten the game in their hands. Today's topic, is one of my few unanswered questions.
