This game (Xbox and PS3 version) was the first showcase of a new gameplay formula, with the first iteration of the ground-breaking Hedgehog Engine 1. Riveting speed gameplay that kept me on my toes, and charming combat and swinging by night. The game is very reactionary, which really puts the player in the shoes of Sonic, it was and still is amazing. This game deserves to be on GOG because to this day, Sonic games take ideas from this title.
That's JUST gameplay, there is a beautiful story of friendship, while being a globe-trotting adventure, with places that resemble places in our real world, with amazing music to follow suit. There was also various short films that revolved around Sonic and his companion that were very charming, Night of The Werehog is a short film revolving around this game that became a Halloween classic, and it manages to capture my heart everytime I see it!
Sonic Unleashed is a title you can tell the developers were proud of, its a disappointment that it hasnt seen the light of day on modern hardware, especially for looking so beautiful, even with specs of old hardware.
