The best Sonic game and also the day stages

Sonic Unleashed (Wii) offers a mixed bag of thrills and frustrations. The daytime stages are exhilarating, with classic Sonic speed and platforming, showcasing a gorgeous, globe-trotting adventure. However, nighttime Werehog stages are a significant departure, focusing on slower, combat-heavy gameplay and feeling overly long with repetitive objectives. The Wii version also suffers from some motion control quirks. If you crave pure Sonic speed, there's enjoyment to be found, but the uneven Werehog elements hold the game back from greatness.
