Sonic Unleashed is one of the most adrenaline pumping games I've ever played. I forget I'm sitting on my couch, but I feel like I'm ripping through deserts, frozen tundras, and rooftops at 300 km/h.

Reflex is key. Jump, boost, slide, drift, stomp, attack. Quick time events help increase the frantic pace of the game.

Yeah, I'm a huge nerd.

Sonic Unleashed is incredible. I got the Wii version, and I'm very impressed (if you couldn't already tell). The daytime levels are beatiful and incredibly fast. Nighttime levels are much slower, but still quite quality. The platforming is solid and connecting combo's is surprisingly satisfying.

The soundtrack sets the tone of each level properly and it's one of the best, if not THE best, soundtrack in any Sonic game. It ditches the 80's rock that Sonic games have been recently notorious for and goes with culturally inspired music.

Screenshots can't justify the beauty of this game. The game must be seen in motion. Although only 30 FPS, it never takes a hit and consistently remains smooth, even through some of the most hectic parts.

So, to wrap things up, this is one of fastest games you'll ever play. It doesn't play itself, just to try and clarify that misconception. So, do yourself a favour and at least rent it.
