Licensed Nintendo Sonic Unleashed - Wii (Pal)

Sonic Unleashed[c] is a 2008 platform game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega.

Sonic Unleashed is a platform game in which the player controls the titular Sonic the Hedgehog in two modes: fast-paced levels that take place during daytime, showcasing and using Sonic's trademark speed as seen in previous games in the series, and slower, night-time levels, during which Sonic transforms into the Werehog, and gameplay switches to an action-based, brawler style of play, in which Sonic battles Gaia enemies (those created by the main enemy in the game, Dark Gaia).[3][4] Each level takes place on a particular continent, each of which is based on a real-world location.[2] In sections of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game, the player may choose to advance the time of day in order to play as either Sonic or the Werehog; in the PlayStation 2 and Wii versions, time is advanced automatically.[5]

Daytime levels focus on Sonic's speed, and to this extent, sees the player control Sonic through fast-moving stages containing both 2D and 3D styles of gameplay.[6] 2D sections are reminiscent of the Mega Drive/Genesis-era Sonic games where the player controls Sonic in a side-scrolling fashion.[7] The game also features a gameplay mechanic previously used in the Sonic Rush series called the Sonic Boost (or just "Boost"), which greatly increases Sonic's speed, allowing him to smash through objects, destroy enemies instantly, or even access different level paths.[8] In the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, an on-screen "Ring Energy" meter displays how much Boost is available.[8] The amount of Boost remaining may be increased by collecting more rings, and is decreased by using the Boost.[8] In contrast, the PlayStation 2 and Wii versions of the game represent available Boost using bars, which may be added by performing "Action Chains", destroying multiple enemies in quick succession through the use of homing attacks, or by collecting rings. Japanese game company Dimps helped design some of the stages
