For this video we will go into depth about the beta area of Arid Sands Night Act 1, comparing the layout in the prototypes, the DLC, and any leftovers in the final game.

Note this video gives a very in depth look at all the layouts, and is quite lengthy. Most of the fights have been sped up, but not cut out as we wanted to show the enemy differences.

You also may have noticed this video has already been uploaded as part of this video:    • Sonic Unleashed Secrets: Werehog Beta...  , well we made a decision to split the video into each area, and to re-upload it on my channel to hopefully get more traction on them.
