Sonic Unleashed… Box art?

Never trust a box folks.

Yesterday, MKSkillz sent us a link to Play.com showing off what might be the Sonic Unleashed Box art.  While we always appreciate the heads up — we don’t always post about leads if there doesn’t seem to be enough substance behind them.

I think we might need to take a step back here.  While this certainly looks compelling, I’m going to suggest that this might not be the official art for the game.  It could be.  But folks are jumping to conclusions it seems.

If you want my honest opinion, the “Box Art” in question looks like it could be a Photoshop mock-up.  I know it’s on Amazon, so it must be official, right!? Well, not so much, as Amazon allows users to upload their own product images, and it’s not rare to see placeholders for upcoming games in online stores like this.

So in short, I don’t mean to be raining on this parade, but I do think we should take one tiny step back and wait for the official word from SEGA before making any final judgment calls here.

    The box art was CONFIRMED

    Right Here

    Plus the “7″ is how Europeans rate games

    in the US we use E10 and stuff

    i highly doubt this is the real box art, NEVER have i seen a rating of 7+…..it seems odd.

    i dunno… i think we’re going to use were-sonic a whole lot less than sonic! (that’s just my opinion!)

    I think its gunna be 49% Sonic

    49% Were-Sonic

    1% Cutscenes

    1% mini games that dont involve too much gameplay with the other characters

    100% AWESOME GAME! lol

    @someone: i think it’s gonna end up like this your gonna get specific missions for any given character to do something so maybe u could enter a fight or go through a mini stag e with knuckles or fly around the town stages to complete missions with tails or something we will be able to unlock mini games and mini stages throughout the game this is when other characters are used and the town stages sound like a good place to play other characters imagine exploring the town with a sorta birds eye view with tails? or gliding and climbing over buildings with knuckles maybe even replaying sonic stages with shadow who could have a boost again you never know but we’ll find out soon enough

    @KC Cross: No, the human nature is if something is different, we’re afraid by it, being afraid, we hide it with hatred for it. Take Sonic Unleashed for example: most people who hate it probably are afraid of it because it’s taking something that we wanted for some time, and twisting it to make it different. Most people are afraid of changes, and convey their true feelings by masking it with hate. That is what I believe is the human nature, lol.
    But whatever, Black Knight won’t have my full attention until Unleashed comes out possibly, though I hope they’ll have enough time to make it a good installment to the Sonic franchise. But then again, I might be asking for too much! :D
