It is now for some time that we have not reviewed hedgehog Sega at its best. Admittedly, this judgment will exempt the friendly Secret Rings released on Wii or the classics but effective Sonic Rush on Nintendo DS, but since when the old rival Mario did it stronger minds? When be donate mascot of Nintendo dazzled the world with his fabulous Super Mario Galaxy, which makes Sonic? It lambing. You will understand, is full of hope and demands that we responded to the invitation for Sega when it was proposed to have a look at the last offspring of the Sonic Team.
After sought by all means to diversify, sometimes to sink into absurdity, it
was time that the Sonic franchise back to its basic platform. This is essentially a promise by Sega crept into the ear of his fans. Three environments we were announced, all borrowing from different environments: Mediterranean, Chinese and tropical. bumpers and other circular ramps, these three levels Fleurette the good old Sonic and provide our blue hedgehog a playground tailored to his excessiveness. you will definitely enjoy the level-design convincing, offering a few different branches and offering a little variety in the gameplay. Variations often accompanied by camera movements welcome, breaking the monotony of scrolling 2D. Nevertheless this unpleasant feeling to admire rather than playing performance hedgehog.
A bad habit taken by the series since its transition to 3D on Dream cast. Only the last level corsair a little obstructing the road to Sonic few obstacles more difficult to pass (and requiring the same camera highest placed). In terms of gameplay there are some changes. The rings are used now to fill a boost gauge, gradually increasing the speed of Sonic. Note that this gauge did not consume. Nevertheless, losing rings in contact with an obstacle or an enemy it will decrease and with it the velocity of your hedgehog. The latter is also used QTY during certain sequences, especially when engaging in more tight passages, the camera positioned in his back, and it multiplies evasion man oeuvres at high speed. What energize a little gameplay already very nervous.
The downside?
In short, the presentation started well, very well, and one could still hope to see it move towards a final climax. Until our demonstrator refers to the division of the game into two distinct types of gameplay: Time Day and Night Time. What can it really be? Regarding the first, we have just talk about it. The second, unfortunately, he threw a coup cold on the meeting. At night, our hedgehog sprinter becomes ... a Were hog, understand: a hedgehog-Garold. The title matinee then have a semblance of beat them all with wort enemies to knock in environments a little more open. More slower but also more powerful, Sonic can also count on new capacity, to extend its members to take elements of decor a little too high or even perched on its history of their enemies inflict some damage. Some sequences platforms come entrepreneur the many battles that promises this side of the game but this was not sufficient to dispel our fears. Relatively soft, gameplay oriented beat them all seemed well inappropriate in a way which was looming yet explosive.
Apart from this big disappointment, we must still acknowledge a technical success announced. While some delays were still taint the wonderful title, the brand new Hedgehog Engine used here by the Sonic Team was very good figure. Without position itself as a technology showcase, Sonic Unleashed, however, looks like a beautiful game finally noted that the few themes accompanying music runs the hedgehog we have published in the vein that what we are accustomed to the series : A band-bouncing sound and colour. It is hoped that the gameplay said Night Time is much more exciting than what we glimpsed during this presentation, without which our hopes for a revival for the series may well end up fly ...
