Sonic the Hedgehog is back with Sonic Unleashed. This action/adventure, where you once again butt heads with Eggman, is a welcome return to form for the series, despite having its problems. The town exploration sequences drag on (you must talk to all the residents before going anywhere) and the repetitive Werehog segments make us sleepy. Its 3-D/2-D stages, however, are wonderfully designed, spanning across a number of continents. Sonic also performs smoother than ever, with nicely balanced controls reminiscent of his old-school 16-bit adventures. A sequel with more speed and less gimmicks would make us happy, but for now, Unleashed is a step above the awful games that came before it. Good to have you back, Sonic.
