GamesMaster Gives Sonic Unleashed “Most Wanted” Title
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!

I mean at Max, not at Kev.
@Sonication: hey thanks now i see the difference before i thought that was always hyper sonic my bad
@Kev: You’re welcome!
In the game, Hyper Sonic was much faster than super sonic, could jump higher, and could destroy every enemy on the screen with what looked like an early version the homing attack. He became hyper when he used the super emeralds.”More powerful versions of the Chaos emeralds which don’t exist anymore”
@Kev:
Oooh, China song is HIP! 8D
@Sonication:
Sonic boosts at 300 MPH.
The question is, could you control him if he went at Mach Speed? Would it be too fast?
i’l gues that the whole gaming comunity is watching SONIC World Adventure which is automaticly forming the hype around the game.
hey Admin,
check this out ! http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/sonicunleashed/media.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=tabs&tag=tabs;videos
3 new Sonic Unleashed gameplay videos from gamespot
@Kev: I wasn’t trying to sound mean, Sorry. I was just in a bad mood.
wow that’s great
keep it goin Sega ^_^
@Sonication: Sonic 3 And knuckles is my fav game. I’ve been playing it ever since mega collection came out.
@Max: My favorite as well.
And I definitely loved Hyper Sonic!
I don’t think if they brought him back, people would get seizures from watching him.
@blu_7: Oh god, If I have to listen to that voice every time I switch rails, I think my ears will bleed!
“YeAh!”
“YeAh!”
“YeAh!”
“YeAh!”
“YeAh!”
“YeAh!”
Most respectable gaming magazines so far seem to be pumped for this. You’d better stay pumped, ya bozos!
@TailstheHedgehog: Yes, that High Speed area was the worse part of the game. Made the rest of the game a pleasantly tolerable experience in comparision. *gets Tails Skypatrol flashbacks* uh…uh…*shudders*…at least you could collect rings in the High Speed Areas…?
@Kev and @blu_7: : Ooo, thanks for getting the link to us! Looky looky~
@Sonication: Close, but no chili dog! :P That was one of Sonic’s first appearances, but THE first appearance was in 1990, a year before the release of Sonic 1…on a tour bus of the band Dreams Come True, one member of whom did the music for the early Sonic games and did Sweet Sweet Sweet, the ending theme for Sonic 2 (which was remixed along with its English version Sweet Dreams by Akon for Sonic ‘06). SEGA sponsored their tour. :)
@iNAUDiBLE:
Oh.
But about those game magazines,
I bet Gameinformer, Kotaku, and that X Play show are not hyped about it.
@Sonication: yeah they seem kinda anti sonic like X play stated sonic in FRANCHISES that must DIE
@Kev: They are only repeating what most comments on the franchise as a whole say. Let’s face it, nobody really likes Sonic anymore. The general suggestion is either ‘make 16-bit 2D games exactly like the original games’ or ‘kill Sonic’.
I think most people who suggest the former forget that SEGA are trying to sell to a drastically different group of people these days. I mean, the first Sonic games actually frustrate me because they’re tricky to control, moreso than the 3D ones in my opinion. People who suggest the latter are talking just a little more sensibly: if it completely fails, guys, you might not want to risk it anymore.
@Spittingup:
Okay, this stupid “voice bashing” is more annoying than anything.
That “woah” sound is almost identical to when Sonic is launched in the beginning of SA1’s Sky Deck Zone.
Unless you want to nitpick of course. Seriously, if it bothers you that much, then you must have a problem with atleast 3/4 the Disney and Nick cartoons out there. Infact… as far as I am concerned, Sonic has always sounded the same.
Anyone heard of the “Sonic used to be brown” story? And how he turned blue when he reaches Sonic speed for the first time while running on a treadmill?(It was in a comic- Sonic The Story) How can that be real when SEGA officially stated a while back:
“Sonic was born with the ability to run fast.”
Also it doesn’t mention this in the Sonic 1 Inustruction Manual.
Could someone clear that up for me?
@Spittingup:
OH… I’M SO SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
I didn’t mean it… you are absolutely correct. It could get a bit annoying with Sonic keep saying
“YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!”
Spittingup, I am giving you $500, and my Xbox 360 as a token of my apology. He probably shouldn’t say something like “yeAH” everytime he skips a rail…. maybe after something rare like a trick.
I am buying Sonic Unleashed for free to you. I want David Leggette to delete my other post quickly… PLEASE!
@Kev:
This game seems like a possible success, so it would be good if X Play and the like do not give this game a bad review.
@Sonic Rider: That old comic, I believe, was written by a French guy and published in England. It was made when nothing was clear and Sonic was just some mutant guy with freak speed.
Each region, basically, had its own story. The comics also had their own universes (eg, the US comic placed Sonic in a seemingly post-apocalyptic world with his own chipmunk/squirrell/whatever princess Sally, while an early manga had Sonic as a regular boy named Nicky Parlouzer who had a girlfriend in his lady friend Amy). With all these ‘canon’ stories, the confusion all piled up as regional versions began being revealed over the Internet.
Eventually, the original Japanese version was settled on for the games, although it’s never too obvious exactly what Sonic’s world is like. I believe it’s five hundred years from now on another planet that was colonised by humans after the discovery of a sort of time capsule from that planet. That would explain the varied settings, from impossibly-crafted forests to regular cities and towns.
But SEGA insist that it’s Earth, somewhere in the later twenty-first century.
Basically, localisation teams were really bad. Dr Eggman was either Dr Robotnik or Dr Zachary in Europe and America.
@Sonication: I’d never heard of hyper sonic!! Thanks for that link. But I think I like supersonic better though their pretty much the same
Yay! At least the game looks good to several magazine publishers :D
Jason Griffith fail Ryan drummond FTW!!!
@Umiyuri: THANKS! :)
Money isn’t important, besides, I’m already getting Unleashed when it comes out.
Nah… That’s okay… :)
@no: i’ll take the $500 if well your still giving it away…
Good
Hey guys (and girls) of Campsonic, sorry i havnt been here, i was on vacation with my friend. Did i miss anything important, notable, ect.?
@Sonication: That would be why you dont know me. But hello.
That’s good news ^^ Now haters will have to come back to loving Sonic all over again ^^ Oh boy, I can’t wait xD
cool camp sonic you rock where is the wii info
@Golden~Hedgy: That reminds me.
http://media.wii.ign.com/articles/896/896041/img_5791749.html
@Sonication: that’s kinda funny
@Kev: To be honest, I did not laugh, but I understood the joke itself.
@WiiFP: Not sure exactlyw long you’ve been gone for but if you missed E3 then you missed quite a lot. You can find most of it on the July round up update.
Main highlights: New trailer, demo shown.
@no: Its not the chaos emeralds that make angel island (knuckle’s island) fall. If the master emerald is removed from the island or it breaks the island falls. The other emeralds have nothing to do with it.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Sonic gets the master emerald back from Dr. Robotnik and puts it back on the island, then it starts to float again.
Sonic Adventure: The Island falls because the master emerald shatters when Chaos was released from it. Though I’m not sure why it falls a second time if Knuckles has the master emerald intact. But perivous titles show that it shouldn’t have anything to do with the chaos emeralds. maybe its because of Chaos or perhaps its because he has some of the emeralds, not all or none. I thought I knew, but I guess I don’t. it doesn’t seem to make much sense now that I’m trying to explain it, y’know.
@G&E: When it falls, Knuckles says that the chaos emeralds had something to do with it. I think that since chaos is part of the master emerald, that since he had been pulled out, he had the power to bring the island back to get the chaos emeralds. or maybe it’s the chaos emeralds trying to get to each other. by acting through the master emerald. but in SA2, knuckles said the master emerald had the power to stop the chaos emeralds. so I have no idea.
@Spittingup: good ideas, I didn’t think of some of those.
5/5 most wanted? wow…thats awsome! :D seriously can’t wait for the game :P one thing that bugged me though after watching the video from gamespot with the gameplay was the way Sonic said “yeah” when he was on the rails…oh well :D I still love the game and I’m still buying it no matter what!!
Those kinds of repetitive quips always bother me more in videos than they do while playing the game…my mind tends to be focused on not dieing lol. But in videos, it’s something you definately notice. But it’s not exclusive to Sonic games…or even platformers.
The voice clips all sound like they’re from past games. Surely they would record new ones (Maybe with Ryan Drummond, hopefully?)…
Awesome! ^_^
href=”#comment-6082″>Moonshadow Caz: ha, thats exactly what I thought! i agree with you Crazee I dont normally listen to the grunts and yells during the game and just focus on the baddies and obstacles
@G&E:
The Sonic 3/Knuckles manual says that Robotnik tricks Knuckles into believing that Sonic & Tails are after the emeralds. How can that be true, when they had in the first place?
In the beginning of Sonic 3, you are already be Super Sonic. Why did Knuckles need to “defend” the emeralds from Sonic if he didn’t have them?
