Sonic Unleashed.
Okay, finished Sonic Unleashed. Overall, I think it is as good as the Sonic Adventure series.
Now, that's not to suggest that it's as good as the SA series was 10 years ago. No, it's the same fucking game, same annoying reasons for dieing, it just has a very good graphical layer slapped on top. This isn't necessarly a bad thing... Unless you were expecting a game more befit of 2008, that is.
You know, I like the night stages and day stages equally. The night stages appeal to my slow and methodical side that has to search every nook and cranny for collectables, the day stages appeal to my side that likes the Sonic stages from SA2, except you're holding down boost a lot instead of THE UP.
As assinine as the themes for each adventure field are and as annoyingly "The Incredibles" the NPCs look, hey, weren't we all bitching about wanting another Sonic game that was more like SA1? Hey, it's even more RPG-like than even SA1 was. That can't be a bad thing.
(I don't know if Sonic 2006 did the same thing, but guess what? I'm steering well clear of Sonic 2006. :P)
Robotnikland and the last two bosses can fuck right off, though.
