In addition to moves available in past games, such as the homing attack, new moves are also introduced. 2D sections are reminiscent of the Mega Drive/Genesis-era Sonic games, where the player controls Sonic in a side-scrolling fashion, while 3D sections see the camera placed behind Sonic, so the player may move in all directions. In sections of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 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.ĭaytime 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. Each level takes place on a particular continent, each of which is based on a real-world location (i.e., Greece-based Apotos, Italy-based Spagonia, Africa-based Mazuri, New York-based Empire City, China-based Chun-nan, Antarctica-based Holoska, Middle East-based Shamar, and Southeast Asia-based Adabat). Gameplay in Sonic Unleashed focuses on two modes of platforming play: fast-paced levels that take place during daytime, showcasing Sonic's trademark speed as seen in previous games in the series, and slower, night-time levels, during which Sonic's Werehog form emerges, 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).
