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!

@KC Cross: The rotten egg thing came from the British Fleetway comic… I dunno if there is really any one set origin story for Sonic, Eggman/Robotnik, etc. American Archie comics had a Dr. Kintobor story as well.
if this game is anything like sa2 or sa2b, then it better have chao!! but even if it doesn’t, it’ll still be a cool game!!
@Chaos Blast: Hey if Jason can do Shadow then he can roar ok?
im JUST SAYIN.
@Spittingup:
It might not be Jason himself roaring, they might use a digitally-created one. You never know, keep your hopes up.
OMG THEY CALL HIM EGGMAN CUZ AN EGG TURNED HIM EVIL

LONG LIVE SONIC da FREAKIN HEDGEHOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this better not be like sonic the hedgehog next gen where it looked good at first but when it came out it sucked horribly
@Chaos Blast: Yeah, I’m ok with Grunts every time you switch a rail, but the “YEAH!” anytime he does anything will be kind of annoying.
Also, Were-sonic doesn’t sound much like a werewolf.
I can’t imagine how dumb it’ll sound hearing Jason’s voice coming out of Were-sonic’s mouth when he roars. (when he fist transforms into were-sonic in the opening scene)
*Shivers*
@Umiyuri: Um…
All you have to do is spin dash to get away from the tree…
@Chaos Blast:
I forgot to mention, I think he says “Yeah!” every time you engage a boost. Which is going to be a lot. Oh Joy. XD
I often hear the grunts, yells and music more than most people, because I’m quite an auditory person. So they’re probably going to bother me in the game, Just like the voices in Sonic Heroes when you changed the Team Leader.
wow that was strange my last comment didnt do the @username thing, sorry bout that i must hav clicked something i meant
@Moonshadow Caz:
@HoggerTheHedgehog: Yep, it’ll be able to use the Gamecube controller, as explained in the scans above.
oh, and btw….
I wanna ask a question…I really need to knowXD
Wikipedia said that the Wii version of sonic unleashed also will have a gamecube controler option…..is this true????
I love the adventure games!! I hope this game will somekind of a sonic adventure 4 feeling:P
@no: Sonic 3. In the very first level, you run behind this tree and it grabs you with a bungee cord made out of circles. It’s very traumatic. I think Sonic clawed at the ground at one point… There’s also the fact that I have it on PC, so I can’t use Tails to fly on 2-Player without playing Finger Twister on the keyboard.
@Umiyuri:
Which Sonic game are you talking about, with the tree?
@no: Thanks. I try. Sonic games aren’t easy to make sense out of, especially the ones without cutscenes, but when you finally get it it feels like you’ve accomplished something.
Of course, -then- you realise that you haven’t really and that you’re still frustrated over the first level of the game. I keep being caught by that one tree…
@Umiyuri:
That makes complete sense. But I probably shouldn’t make this confusing.
@Umiyuri:
Wow, that makes complete sense.
@no: The Doctor was actually talking about both the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald, but the localisation team decided to make it something slightly more familiar. And Knuckles?
Knuckles saw that they already had them and was all like, “You have my emeralds! That human was right! Give them back!” and then punched Sonic in the face, knocking them out of his grasp. Knuckles then ran off with them to put them back and continue guarding them while Sonic and Tails, thinking he was a thief, went after him.
The rest of the game is then a blur of traps and tricks as Knuckles keeps stopping Sonic and Tails from having a chance to explain while Eggman airlifts the Master Emerald out of there. Sonic and Knuckles reach an agreement and Sonic goes after Eggman while Knuckles has the Eggrobo to contend with.
Hope that explains the entire game. XP
