What's more, each of these so-called smaller stages aren't really that much shorter. Instead of one, long, 15-20 minute stage, Unleashed for the Wii breaks Werehog levels up in to 3-4 smaller, shorter stages. Werehog stages in the SD version are 'shorter', but only by a technicality. Over the course of a single stage, you'll probably hear him yell 'HRRAAAAGH!!' dozens and dozens of times. Every time you start a new section of boost, Sonic has to yell about it. The boost system in the SD version is garbage, too if you don't like Sonic's 'WOOO!' voice clips, the boost system in the SD version of Unleashed will be infuriating, as it's segmented in to all these little sub-meters that must be used in full, one after the other. Which is a problem when the simple act of pushing up moves you to an arbitrary menu space to your left.ĭaytime levels technically control better in the SD version, sort of, but that just means they're more stiff. Towns are a nightmare to navigate, and unlike the HD version of Sonic Unleashed, you're FORCED to visit every space on the map before they'll let you progress. The reduction of medal collection is nice, but I think every other part of the SD version is worse.

Then you can download the Unleashed Project for Generations PC to get the only good part of the HD version, but with better performance and controls.īack in the day, critics said that the SD version for the PS2/Wii was the best version of Sonic Unleashed to play because it minimizes wandering around hubs and collecting medals. Of course, if you want to play a Wii Sonic game, Colors is better in every respect, but Unwiished is the better complete Unleashed experience. EDIT: Oh, and the homing Attack is on the jump button. The Wii version also doesn't have any stupid requirements for progression, the nighttime levels are shorter individually so the player can leave and come back in the middle of the run instead of having to sit for 30 minutes on one, the Werehog controls are less slippery on the Wii, the platforming is much easier, the battle difficulty is much less annoying, its version of Arid Sands Night is not godawful unlike the HD version, it's shorter without Mazuri and Empire City, Eggmanland is far more forgiving, and the final bosses are infinitely better. The hub worlds in HD Unleashed aren't bad, but there's also something to be said about not having to deal with them. The level design is more complex and exciting in the HD version, but that's only for people that want to play the levels over and over to learn it, to a first time player it's just blazing fast and blindsiding all over, so it doesn't leave a good first impression. The graphics in the HD version are beautiful while the Wii is subpar, but at least the Wii runs it smoothly. I genuinely don’t know which version I consider to be superior.

I WANT to say the Wii version, but that’s mostly because I have a strong nostalgic connection to it. I wanted to ask what you guys think is the superior version. Also you don’t spend nearly as much time in the hub world (although I personally don’t consider that a problem in the HD version). However, there’s significantly fewer QTEs, the controls feel much more responsive and comfortable, and the nighttime levels only take around five minutes and are much better designed and less repetitive. A lot of stuff feels to simplistic, like the boost mechanic. The daytime stages feel empty and overly linear. They’re not awful, they just don’t look great, and other similar games (like Mario Galaxy and Sonic Colors) look significantly better even though they were in development/came out around the same time.

I’m also not too big a fan of the amount of quick-time events there are, and the button inputs feel pretty unresponsive. But then the nighttime levels are a slog (long and repetitive), the frame rate is unstable as hell, and the controls aren’t that polished (not that they’re bad, they’re just strange I have no idea why you use the boost button to perform a homing attack). The daytime stages are a blast to play, especially if you’re trying to improve your rank. The Xbox 360 version has incredible graphics (I mean, incredible - it’s been 12 years since it came out and it’s still one of the best-looking seventh gen games, and even rivals eighth gen if you ask me). And I’m really torn between which version I like better. Anyway, I recently got the Xbox 360 version of Unleashed, after only having the Wii version for many years. I did some looking and it doesn’t seem like we’ve had a topic on this yet (or, if we have, not in a long time).
