I sincerely apologize, but I simply couldn’t resist — there’s somethingprimalinside me that just loves making bad puns. Anyway, Sega has sent over a brand-spanking-new trailer forSonic Unleashed, and it’s the first time we’ve seen Sonic the Werehog in action sinceE3. Theferalfootage (check out the latter third for somebrutalcombos and howling) shows off Were-Sonic’s unique abilities, such as pulling himself up to a ledge using his Stretch Armstrong-like arms.
As for the rest of the video, I gleefully hummed along with the catchy and sprightly music — in fact, it’s stuck in my head. The music and the distinctive art direction are two of my favorite things about this game; I just hope that the gameplay holds up as well. I’m certainly excited about what Sonic’sbestial, Mr. Hyde-like persona can do, especially since his design isn’t really conducive to the 3D Sonic trope of “hold right/up to win.” Hell, I think I like the Werehog sections better than the standard Sonic sections…
Man, I hope this game is good. We’ll know in a few months;Sonic Unleashedwill be out for the PS3, 360, Wii, and PS2 this holiday season.
