Sonic Unleashed (Wii) playthrough ~Longplay~

This is a playthrough of Sonic Unleashed on the Wii. (timestamps below)

Here we have a story about a hedgehog (who at night turns into a Werehog) trying to fix a broken planet... and as Sonic plots go, it's actually pretty charming. I've always kinda liked Unleashed's writing; it's serious enough to show there's a threat that needs resolving, but still has light-hearted moments that make it a breath of fresh air after Shadow/'06 etc..

The presentation is (obviously) a downgrade. Not only are the in-game graphics much more limited due to the Wii being the Wii, but the cutscenes have taken a hit too thanks to compression. I've heard these were recorded from a beta version of the HD version, which would make sense: the models occasionally look a bit funky, the lip-sync seems a tad off, and they're much duller than the beauty of the lighting in the HD version (powered by the Hedgehog Engine).

That being said, though... I still prefer this version overall. A lot of the Werehog levels are unique and the progression system is simplified.
