The manual explains much of this in more depth admittedly, but the fact that it isnвЂ™t overtly laid out for the player at the start is a tad befuddling. Not that any of that is story explained of course вЂ“ all we see if a ghost-thing splitting the world apart, Sonic turning into a were-hog and Eggman laughing evilly. Comparisons between Jar-Jar Binks would be a fair way to equate how annoying he is, by the way.

Oh, and thereвЂ™s an amnesiac winged-dog-thing called Chip that insists on following you around too for the oh-so-obvious identity twist later. It starts to go shaky near the end though when Sonic is hit by a laser that corrupts the power of the Chaos Emeralds, using their power to create enough negative energy to awaken Dark Gaia вЂ“ an evil entity that had lain dormant within the world. The story for Sonic Unleashed starts off OK, with a suitably adrenaline fuelled CGI cutscene which sees Sonic once more defeating the evil Doctor Eggman and his fleet of spaceships. TheyвЂ™ve tried to give it a logic behind it that ties the Sonic world together into something understandable вЂ“ and, to be honest, they just havenвЂ™t done it very well. We knew it was a bad sign when the company got rid of the awesome вЂ Seee-gaaaвЂ™ introduction.ДЄ huge issue for Sonic Unleashed though isnвЂ™t the over-use of the brand or that the game is struggling to find a niche in the world of 3D action-platformers, itвЂ™s that the developers have tried to really give Sonic a proper, cohesive story. Another part of the problem of course was Sega trying to exploit the franchise too much, like Nintendo with Mario or Eidos with Tomb Raider.
