We had a few people submit this yesterday (both in comments and email), but it looks like ENVY16 from SSMB was the first to get their hands on the latest issue of GamesMaster. Nothing new jumps out at us, but something worth noting is that Sonic Unleashed definitely impressed the folks at GM.
How Much?
Well, enough for them to give it a rating of 5 on the Most Wanted Scale. Their only complaints about the game was the lack of multiplayer and online leaderboards (which I have a feeling may be more of an assumption the way they stated it). At any rate, if you’d like to read their impressions catch the scans below!

@TailstheHedgehog:
No Problem and That’s what I thought too, one of those moves that can shave seconds off your time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reminds me of that time I was playing SRA, I was doing a timed mission, and I was really running out of time, so I blasted through the last part of the level and finished, with 43 MILLISECONDS left on the clock!
ALSO In This Picture in the 29-Hit combo picture it says “Defence” instead of “Defense”
Not a very potent video game magazine lol
@TailstheHedgehog: It’s gunna happen. Guaranteed.
SEGA is making Sonic U as a movie.
The next Sonic Adventure.
If they don’t have a Super Were-Sonic in sonic unleashed, it will definitely be in Sonic Unleashed 2.
and there WONT be a 2. Bottom Line.
In This Picture it says Sonic was created from A ROTTEN EGG AND RUNNING SHOES WDF?
@Chaos Blast: thankyou, I found it. Its like a quick way of dropping down to earth…like the bounce in sonic 06..except you dont bounce lol
I my opinion the super werehog idea is really unoriginal and lazy.. it’s like giving every character in the games a super form.. just no.
hmmm i dunno a superwerehog does sound pretty cool
@Sinister96: uggh please no superwerehog. That sounds aweful
That last scan has an awesome picture!
This is my first post here so hello sonic fans!
@TailstheHedgehog:
Go watch the High Europe Trailer, and skip to 1:28. You’ll see Sonic perform a stomp then.
Well, at least there Wii pics up there. But none of them are new -.-
Using the hedgehog engine, I’d like Sega to take 4 levels each from Sonic Adventure 1, 2, and Sonic 06 and release it as an Xbox Live Arcade/Playstation Network game.
Something like what recent Mario Kart games do.
maybe…. at the final boss sonic could be a super werewolf or even hyper sonic!! woohoo!
hey that vitality meter for the werehog isnt like in prince of persia 2 is it. when the prince went bad you have to destroy monsters to get ‘vitality’ or else you die. I didnt like that much, it put the pressure on. But that sounds pretty much like the werehogs vitality.
p.s whats the sonic stomp mentioned in the article?
@okay: Sonic games gather so much hype because there was a time when SEGA could blow us all away - which was back on Dreamcast with Sonic Adventure 2 - and everybody knows that they can do it again. They just don’t know when, so they gather their hopes up.
I’d consider most Sonic fans to be the best fans in the world because they’ll never give up hoping. But somehow, other people say the franchise is dead, Sonic is a ***, it’s Dr Robotnik and not Eggman, Shadow is a worthless emo who ruined the games because he just keeps whining and other ****.
One thing that I don’t understand about the article is that they’re criticising the Shadow the Hedgehog when they talk about realism gone wrong! Shadow wasn’t made to look real at all; it was made to exercise a new gameplay mechanic. I think they’re trying to say Sonic ‘06, but just don’t have the guts to mention that game anymore in case SEGA accuses them of connecting the two games.
wow. 5/5 pretty sweet!
@okay: crisis city is my favourite because its one of the few where you actually get to run fast. But i didnt like the speedrun in it, jumping is a nightmare!
I never saw any pre-release trailers for sonic 06 (hadnt discovered the net) but i bet they looked great which gave viewers a false impression on the gameplay. But i just cant see this game being bad! it looks excellent!!!
‘endless possibilities’ was great!
Sonic games have an amazing ability to gather an amazing amount of hype for some reason.
Even Sonic 06 and the early videos(trailer) looked so amazing. I remember seeing speedruns from Crisis City.
Sonic Unleashed… whether this game is good, or bad, it may sell well.
Looks like nearly every magazine is getting hyped about this game.
On a side note, a while back, ONM said Sonic Unleashed would appear in there August issue. (Even though it says September on the spine.) It’ll be the next issue, I’ll try and pick it up if I can to check when it comes out.
I pray that it is as good as SA and SA2, i love them
Hey admin have you also notice the whistling in the Werehog trailer, that it sounds like angel island in Sonic 3. I found out about this, a few months ago back.

To here it combined go to 1:38
PS. sorry for grammar
Man this is awsome. I hope this game could be compared to SA2 or maybe SA1.
