I'm sure plenty of Sonic fans like me have played Sonic Unleashed at one point. The game is said to be the beginning of the heal from Sonic 06, and it shows. I loved Sonic's daytime stages, and I enjoyed the werehog stages... to an extent.

In the first half of the game, they seemed pretty awesome to me. I liked this new approach they were taking with Sonic. Yeah, the werewolf thing is a bit of a cliche, but it's still interesting to have Sonic play like this.

But, by the time I got to the second half of the game, the gimmick wore out it's welcome. Why? Well, three reasons;

1. The werehog is slow. I seriously think that the werehog's speed is that of Silver's speed in 06. If you're gonna make me play Sonic in a different style, the least you could do is make him have some sort of top speed.

2. That frigging saxophone battle theme. I wouldn't mind this theme too much if it didn't go off every six seconds of the stage. I'm not kidding, this theme goes off every time you engage in combat with enemies. Heck, it goes off even if you're just fighting ONE enemy.

3. These stages go on forever. Like I said, I thought the werehog stages were decent in the beginning. But, by the second half, they got painfully long, and all I wanted to do was go back to daytime so I could go fast again.
