I hope this will send a greater message about Sonic Unleashed deserving a PC Port, so let's see it someday! Because Sonic Unleashed is a phenomenal game, a mix between the Daytime and Nighttime gameplay, which works with the story to make for a strong and fun experience! P.S. You should add consistent screenshots from the HD game, lol. Cuz people will get confused otherwise.

This game is incredible, from daytime to nighttime the levels are just so awesome to play and look at. The fact this game only came out on console is a damn shame. I have spent 1000s of hours modding this game and would spend 1000s more. Not sure why Unleashed Wiis images are sprinkled in here.

We know for a fact that while there has not been an offical PC port there was one in the works. This is one of the most deserving sonic games that has never been on PC, and especially with GOG could use it, as while I have played a little bit of the ps2/wii version there are two whole versions to play and perserve, aside from the more well known PS3/Xbox360 editions. (or we could even mention the Java version)

One of my favorite games, personally. The fact this hasnt been released on Modern Platforms or even on just PC yet is absolutely criminal. Vote today, and maybe that wish can finally come true...

I have both, the Ps2 and Ps3 version of this game, and I have loved them since I was a teenager. Playing them is such an amazing experience that I just want this game (both versions) to be available for more people!!! This game makes you feel like you're actually traveling the world, getting along with everyone, and appreciating being alive, it's such a beautiful game.

This game is amazing, even if it got criticized on release, many fans and gamers alike have come back to it and its now considered one of the best in its series, but there are also thousands of people who haven't been able to play it and undoubtedly would if it released on PC, games like this have absolutely no business being in the console-only hell they are.

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.

This game never came out for PC, so i don't know why this is here. Focus on voting the already released Sonic games for PC like SONIC R, 3D BLAST, Adventure and even NiGHTS Into Dreams, along JET SET RADIO. Don't bring fake hopes

Sonic Unleashed is so great it was the first 3D game with the boost formula which was incredible. The whole game was amazing right from the beginning with the intro cutscenes to the ending there’s so much to enjoy such as the environments, music, characters and gameplay. It’s such a shame that this game has not had an official port/remaster I honestly think it needs one so that many fans who are new to the series or those who have not had the opportunity to play this game as they might not own the consoles to play the game so it would be great if people would have the chance to experience this masterpiece of a game but honestly accessibility to these older games can be really poor as many of them like Unleashed are stuck on the hardware they came out on so hopefully Sega and Sonic Team can start to change things an give people the opportunity to play these games again.

While it’s certainly not my favorite Sonic game, I would be lying if I said it was a mostly fantastic experience. I really hope it gets a remaster soon that irons out my issues w/ it such as the medals and Dark Gaia Phase 1
Those games also need your vote!
Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
