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!
“DID YOU KNOW?
Sonic came about thanks to an accident involving the Chaos Emeralds, a pair of high-tech trainers, Dr Kintobor (later Robotnik) a treadmill and a rotten egg!”
Does that only applies to the UK Sonic comics when Sonic got his super speed and Robotnik turned evil?
@KCross: Defence is the same word, just an alternate spelling.
And to Eggy Origins, that was true in the Fleetway comic, which is only one sonic comic and NOT CANON. I wish publishers would stop treating it as such.
Super Werehog could not be possible anyway. I think Sonic goes Werehog when he absorbs the negative power of the emeralds, and Super when he absorbs the positive. I think… Though he could absorb both at the same time, but that’s highly unlikely. Sonic can only tap into the positive energy. (He went dark in Sonic X because of the faulty chaos energy from the fake emeralds.)
@TailstheHedgehog:
I have to agree. Super WereSonic is not a good idea.
@Spittingup: Super Sonic can go faster than normal Sonic, but nowhere near light speed.
cause you said supersonic would be too slow even thoughhe can go the speed of light
sorry, I meant has Super Sonic ever gone the speed of light in any game.
in any game, has super sonic gone the speed of light.
and what do you mean the REAL Sonic franchise?
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles WAS a real Sonic game.
hey Shadzter over at sonic stadium said that GamesMaster will have a review of the game in their october issue coming out August 27th and he said sonicstadium will also have a full unbiased review closer to release
and in the real Sonic franchise there is NO hyper sonic just supersonic who goes at the speed of light! thats 300,000 miles a second!
think of a giant monster trapped at the center of the earth. If eggman went to all that trouble to release it, then it’s gotta be huge! like half the size of the earth. I bet at the end of the game, it comes out and you have a space battle as Hyper Sonic! Super Sonic is to slow to take that thing out. only Hyper Sonic can take out something as big as a planet!
Isn’t were-sonic supposed to be Sonic with the negative energy of the chaos emeralds?
and if Super Sonic uses the positive energy, what happens when he use both? He will turn HYPER SONIC!!!
That would just complete the game for me!
@Aregulardude: Personally, I don’t think SEGA will be able to redeem themselves (for lack of a better way of putting it) in just one title. The names “Sega” and “Sonic” were once very powerful names. Over the years, it seems to me that they’ve lost a lot of trust in their core-gamer market, and trust is much more easily lost than gained.
For me, and perhaps for GM, Sonic Unleashed is a step in the right direction again, and a step to earning some of our trust back in the company, and in the name Sonic. It may not put Sega back on its pedestal completely, but it’s still something a lot of us have been wanting for some time.
Ahh, damn Nintendo and their lack of a hard drive for the Wii…
But seriously? 5/5? While I am happy about this, it seems a little too suspicious for me… Like, the Sonic Franchise is trying to come out of a horrible stage, then GameMaster here gives it a 5/5? I mean, 4/5 I could deal with, but I think that the perfect score might just add to the unnecessary hype it already has! *shot*… But whatever, I’m still getting this for the 360, so I guess I shouldn’t be complaining… XD
Though I am liking a lot of the things that they’ve shown already, I’m looking forward to high-speed antics with Sonic and down to earth platforming with the WereHog!
Well well well. Just when I thought Sonic Rush Adventure would be the best Sonic game so far, there’s a chance that Sonic Unleashed could temporarily knock it out of the spotlight. Lol even GameMaster says that the Werehog gameplay is similar to The Legend of Zelda. XD
hey multitude go to:
