Why is this recommended to me in 2024?????

"forgotten" Also me playing it today

I think the weird control changes were due the game being developed for the Wii version first before being ported to the PS2...which for some reason bothers me because it makes the PS2 version feel like the "Sloppy Seconds" version, as if the PS2 port was made purely out of obligation. and the PS2 version was my first exposure to Sonic Unleashed before I got the X Box 360 version

A friend of mine once referred to this version of the game as "Sonic Unwiished."

personally i really want all this dlc but i got no idea how to get it on a rom lol

I think the reason the enemies in the DLC were buffed was because they expected the player to be near max level after replaying levels over and over again while expecting each DLC to come out. I understand why the boost stages felt cheap, but memorizing level layouts was still fun, especially after playing the base stages for so long. This video ironically made me want to revisit these stages

The ps2 version looked ASS,the wii,xbox,ps3 ports looked better

No, next question

This channel is underrated

The reason why the button mapping is way different on the PS2 than the PS3 is because the PS2 just has remapped controls of the Wii, which uses motion controlls for the boost/light speed boost.

Forgotten?? This shit was my childhood

Honestly, the PS2 version has much nicer colors than the Wii version. The Wii version looks pretty washed out and Sonic has that weird shine around him that makes him look almost cyan.

As a Brazilian kid that lived under a rock and only ever had a PS2 for their entire gaming life until recent years (I got a PS5), Sonic Unleashed for the PS2 is how I got into the Sonic franchise. For majority of my childhood time, I never knew Sonic Unleashed had a Wii port, I didn't even knew the PS2 version was a port itself from the original Xbox360/PS3 game. This game got me addicted, and made me eager everyday to play through it all. It's how I grew to love Sonic and eventually try the other titles available on PC. This game and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 were the only disks I'd slap into my console for a while, and all that while not being aware that this was a port. Growing up and getting into the internet more, a lot of stuff opened up to me. Which included the different versions of Sonic Unleashed and how nobody talked about the PS2 port. It was indeed like if I had played a game that never existed. Eventually I got to play Sonic Unleashed on my sisters Xbox, and got to try out the REAL game, and now both versions hold a special place in my heart. I have yet to try the Wii port, and I did buy a Wii recently for the nostalgia. But to wrap it up, I just wanted to share my experience. It's kinda funny. Knowing of my experience makes me wonder if there were any more kids like me that went through the same or a similar experience. I don't think there's such things as forgotten games, pieces of media, or anything for that matter; something is only forgotten if nobody is around to remind others of it. So, for a lot of things, maybe the right people haven't come out to share their experiences yet lol. I'm really glad to have come across this video, and this channel for that matter. I loved it, thank you for coming up with this banger. Sorry for the bible, I felt moved to share a lot for this comment

I never liked the hub-worlds in Sonic games, I'd much prefer a map like the PS2 version lol

admit it, you hate the adventure games and No Boost games are not OBJECTIVELY Better than adventure games

I Don't care what you say, sonic unleashed is overrated and so is jason griffith

Hot take: Windmill Isle 1-3 (isnt that bad imo) It works as a great XP grinding level and it isn't hard if your werehog has good stats. Also the QTEs arent really fast, you just have to let the enemies at a very low health. Great video though.

Diagnosis: skill issue

I think you’re giving this game WAY too much credit. The story wasn’t as great as you say it is. I honestly groaned at it the whole time and questioned so many things about it. I’ve also seen the twist villain trope so many times, so Merlina wasn’t that special. Sonic and Caliburn were more annoying than I remember and the knights were just cringe. It has a good message about living life to the fullest, but Sonic is not the right franchise to tackle such issues. He’s a blue cartoon hedgehog for corn sake! I’m so tired of Sonic games trying to be big and epic and deep when he should just be fighting Eggman and going on fun adventures. For that reason, Colors was a MASSIVE breath of fresh air until Sega decided to make the mistake of trying to be serious again with Forces and Frontiers. You can call it nitpicking, but I go to Sonic for the gameplay, not the story. Besides, story doesn’t really matter in Sonic, especially if the gameplay sucks. To me, this isn’t a Sonic game - it’s a game with Sonic in it. Why does Sega feel the need to force combat into a high speed platformer? It just doesn’t work and Black Knight is another example of why. Sonic is the only character worth playing as, as the other characters suck at combat and traversal, aside from Knuckles who can just glide over everything (and Blaze is the worst character to play as and that’s just a travesty). The fights with the knights are no more complex than the Stalfoes fights in Ocarina of Time, King Arthur is a mess of frustration and Merlina was the only good boss in the game, which isn’t a high bar to clear. Honestly, the whole time I played Black Knight, I wanted to play Capcom’s Knights of the Round. Why this game is suddenly getting praise now is beyond my comprehension.

I have to disagree about the combat having depth. The enemies are super easy to deal with and you don’t really need to do a combo swing at all. Just do that homing buzzsaw attack the entire game and you’re golden; it’s even faster than the soul surge, which is really just a glorified quick time event move. If you try to do normal sword swings, it just drags down the pace, not to mention that the swings are super delayed and unresponsive at times. It doesn’t get better with the other characters either, since they’re all worse than Sonic in one way or another. This game’s combat pales in comparison to stuff like Zelda, Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts and No More Heroes. Oh, and the bosses aren’t as well designed as you describe. The Knights of the Round are stupid easy while King Arthur is stupidly frustrating. You also don’t need to time your strikes on Arthur or Marlina, you can just slash none stop and it gets the job done. Seriously, did we play the same game?

This will always be one of my favourite sonic games! Definitely top 5 for me 😁👍

7:41 i think he died a bit too many times on that level

I bought the DLCs a decade ago and I stopped at Windmill Act 2. I was NOT having fun and didn't play the rest of the DLC.

Unleashed, o melhor Game da Sega ja Criado, simples Assim, O resto foram apenas historias menos impactantes(excluindo as do universo 2D, os que não se enquadram com esse tipo de lançamento), Generations foi bacana no que tange a melhoria de Gameplay e só e a historia já não ficou no nivel do Unleashed, Basicamente o resto so foi piorando. Sega para mim se tornou uma tristesa, Unleashed merece total atenção de deles.

dont forget the WII

lol we are lemon buddies

While you are right about the classic level design in Generations being better than Sonic 4, when it comes to the controls and physics they are definitely worse in every aspect, Classic Sonic air movement feels extremely stiff, there's a weird heaviness when bouncing of enemies/objects and the momentum is all over the place when rolling or walking on some inclinations.

Are you scouse?

Forgotten? It was prob the most played version lol

,,Forgotten PS2 Port" I literally didn't know it even released on anything besides playstation. I have a trailer of it on demo disc

Lmao the wii and ps2 versions are the only ones I've ever been able to play! Also, I'd love a sonic heroes video!

yer intro too long! 22 seconds? speed it up already dam! otherwise good video

Here’s another thing about sprinting, though. On Wii, to my memory, Werehog Sonic also sprints if you continue moving after dropping from a small ledge. I could be wrong, but I remember losing lives from that a lot

There were DLCs for this game?! Sheesh....makes me wanna play sonic unleashed again lol.

Sonic 06 and Unleashed got DLC, but not Sonic Generations, not real DLC

Kids watch these videos because Sonic is a game for kids. Why are you dropping F bombs in a video that mainly children are watching for a game that’s rated E?

Legit just ordered this copy 😂😂 I never had a Wii but never knew this was for ps2, and I love messed up games so this is gonna be great!!

TLDR: "Its Unleashed. What did you expect?"

Knowing Sega, we’ll see an official Sonic Unleashed remaster with these DLC levels included. And make you do stupid trophies related to them. Question is; would they be available after completing their corresponding base game levels, unlocks after getting all S ranks in the base game levels or after beating the main campaign?

The Gaia Temples alone make the Wii version worth playing in my opinion

When I was little I never knew sonic unleashed was originally on the ps3 I always used to think it was from the ps2 only ( also because I never got any next gen consoles past my pirated ps2 ) When I got older and I found out about the ps3 version I couldn't believe what I was missing on

Hell do you mean forgotten? PS2 Unleashed was my favorite (I fucking hated the tornado sections)
