    blazehedgehog's Sonic Unleashed (Xbox 360) review

    Sonic's history catches up with him.

    How you'll feel about Sonic Unleashed largely depends on how you feel about Sonic the Hedgehog's foray in to the third dimension. In comparative terms, Unleashed is the best foot forward this franchise has had since the Dreamcast, and if you enjoyed something like Sonic Adventure 2, you'll probably enjoy Sonic Unleashed. Of course, there are more and more people these days who are tired of bad 3D Sonic games, and Sonic Unleashed probably won't change many minds contrary.

Unfortunately, despite a dramatic step forward in quality, it may just be too little, too late for most people.

While this can sometimes be fun, i...
