Sonic Unleashed Video: Full Stage on Mykonos
It may be shaky-cam, and half of the footage may involve unknowing bystanders blocking our view, but other than that, this is the first video of a full stage we’ve seen so far.
It’s Mykonos Greece, though I can’t say whether it’s the first of the stages from the world or not… but it’s a stage we’ve seen bits and pieces of before. Looks like the playtime was somewhere around 3 and a half minutes.
Video is down below.
Thanks to kkxprs and Jos-el for sending this my way earlier.

Appreciate the help with gathering information folks. The new semester just started for me (I’m a full time blogger, and I attend a University — really an awful mix), so I’m not quite adjusted to the schedule quite yet. Thanks!
Have you seen the new Wii screens David?
Was that Chip at the end?
yes
omg this rocks O_O and david have u seen the wii screens on TSS?
did any1 see the little guy from the manga on the result screen
3: 39 pause there and look
those people just have to walk in fron of the camera…..-_-”
i can hear sambe de amigo in the gackground
People walking in front of camera is annoying!
Gameplay looks great!
Chip/Tip is real, but I think it’s kinda like Omochao.
that was kool :) (except for the people who kept walking infront of the camera and just standing there…) so tip/chip is real… :P I wonder if the whole manga story is true then…
this cool but is this it for the week
I know it’s cool that the site is being updated with new info, but you don’t want to be a spoiler by revealing the WHOLE stage…:(
But on the other side, I’m really glad that there’s new info!:)
and another thing…Those peole are annoying! 0_o
Well, seeing the first stage(likely) isn’t too bad. And it’s good to have an idea of the play style for a whole level.
Alright, any observations?
1. Either the ranking system is more forgiving because it’s a demo at a convention, or it’s just more forgiving in general. Which I would applaud. I never can figure out why I get S and A rankings at bosses, but levels are more difficult.
2. The homing target looks like it will solve the “Am I doing a homing attack or jump dashing?” confusion, which is a positive.
3. I saw a few alternate routes…
4.The 2-D/3′D transition seemed like it went over well, and even made sense in terms of level design. Oddly enough, the camera stays focused better. If you go straight forward on a 2-d path, and then run up some stairs…the camera doesn’t have to switch to account for you going a different direction because YOU’RE going a different direction. It seems like a definite improvement, even if the cameras never really bothered me much in previous games.
I’m impressed.
I just looked at the Wii scans…well, they’re high quality scans but still scans. I’m sure the game looks better than that. Nevertheless, it looks better than I predicted. It does look Secret Rings quality for the most part, even if the daytime segments look better than the night ones(colorful graphics look more 360-ish than polished nightime colors do).
Call me excited. At least I have Chronicles to help me wait.
Did Sega say there gonna release some footage of the other versions of Sonic Unleashed?Or is it just speculation?
@WereSonic: yeah probably speculation since the 360 and PS3 is the show version of sonic unleashed
Dang,when will we see the WII VERSION!!??
did you see the replay button at result screen
and if only they can have a demo on xbox360 today
Hay I can here the “High Europe” theme near the end!
Looking Good so far! It’s fast, furious, and easy to pick up and play by the looks of it.
Chip is ADORABLE! *hugs*
@Hannah the Echidna:
Sonic is sooo cute too! Especially the ending pose! Cute overload!
So thats Chip,seems like a replacement for the Omochao…..YES!!!!As long as it doesnt explain the obvious all the time. XD
what the??? is it me, or
does my comments being disabled?:/
@David Leggett: Same here. My third year of High school is starting up tomorrow and Mom isn’t letting me online during the week this year. Thankfully, I still have fridays and the weekends. ^^
Ooook, three more months and we will have the fun at home! PARTY!!!!! ^___^
Ok, Chip is confirmed (cute little guy, hope he has no annoying voice like Omochao did), now let´s hope they confirm Fang/Nack the same way! That would knock me right out of my chair! ^^
cool!
three months demo today
WII SCREENSHOTS!!!LOOKIN GOOD!!!
oh and talking about Wii screens,
I found some more posted on a topic. And I have to say that they just look amazing! but I don’t know if they are real screen from Wii…
(I can’t give a link because than I this comment no where…:S)
just go to GAMESPOT forum and search for “First real Wii screens of Sonic Unleashed”
Cant get the URL on here…go to YOUTUBE!
@HoggerTheHedgehog:
I got a better Idea to set a link to the Wii screenshots!
click my name;)
man the gameplay looks insane the control seems very easy to pick up and play and the camera was brilliant the only annoying thing was the people sonic moves well and the game level looks pretty simple to control plus the player only died once which is great considering the amount of times he couldve died but didnt because the turns were simple yet i didnt see a falling off the world seen or any running parts that if u didnt pay attention for a second you would die. There was also alot of new additions in the level like chairs and tables fixed with umbrellas that u could knock if u wanted too and made it realistic but a disney like world very well done.
What the reaction command buttons look like:
V
V
B
“Press the B button, DAMMIT!”
Y-X-X
——–
“It says Y! Hit the Y button!”
A=
“Now come on, even -I- can get that one!”
Anyway, some good old roof-hopping, Adventure-styled checkpoints, black-holes… The graphics are pristine, but the level design is slightly linear… hmm…
-Chip! SEGA, you -promised- us no new characters and there he is!
…Aww, look! Chip’s doin’ a little aerial dance! <3 Now I’m happy.
(The mental state of a fangirl is hardly a sensible one, but it’s not as bad as it could be.)
EVERY ONE! click on my name!!! I want to know if these
sonic unleashed screenshots for Wii are the REAL DEAL!!=D
They look amazing!
okay this is not relevant to this game in particular but in japan they’ve been call dr.robotnik “dr.eggman” since sonic drift on the game gear for proof click my name for a youtube link(so guys they did not create the name for sonic adventure-most people think that)
God MOVE people!! Always right at the really exciting parts!!
Yep, that’s Chip/Tip all right…
@NejiBK: He’s always been Dr. Eggman in Japan. He was known as Dr. Robotnik everywhere else when SEGA of America decided to change his name for the English releases of the games. It was in Sonic Adventure when they decided to make both names internationally canon (Robotnik as his real name, “Eggman” as his nickname).
@HoggerTheHedgehog: they are those are real legit sonic unleashed screens nice find
What, are they walking in front of the screen on purpose?! Despite the screen being constantly blocked, this is awesome… And crap, the wannabe Tails Doll is there… And I thought they weren’t gonna introduce any new characters… I hope he isn’t like Omochao… O_O
@Kev:
Thanks:)
Hey david, you should see the screens too!
@Kevin: who cares as long as it doesnt mess up the levels do you really care i’m more focused on the gameplay right now than some side character but if the gameplay passes then choose whether u wanna dismiss the character he is a side mission though
I’m just crying of the thankful-ness that sega din’t destroy(well, almost) the nice 360 and PS3-like graphics for the Wii=D
OMG.
The gameplay. There was no glitches. It was fast. This. This is amazing. It looks awesome. I hope the Wii version is just as good.
OMG.Sega, you may have saved Sonic.
Shame Chip’s real, I won’t mind though if he’s just a replacement for Omochao.
The game looks amazing; they even fixed the framerate issues. I only hope Chip keeps his trap shut during the levels.
I’m impressed. Although I saw a few glitches, it wasn’t at all bad. The framerate held up, the graphics are mind-blowing, the speed is insane, and Chip (if that’s him) looks nice and he may be an interesting character.
Now I’m also excited for Werehog and since the two gameplay styles look vastly different, I think we may have a great game on our hands.
Only three months…
@Dizzydennis: Glitches? Where? I didn’t see any, but I may have just been blinded by the awesomeness of everything else.
@Dizzydennis:
O.o Where are the glitches?
That little Chip/Tip dude is there 0.o
Freakin’ people!! I was getting frustrated just seeing them walk by!!! D;
