Eggman shooting the world with a giant ray gun.
Rings let you pull off a super burst for even more speed. The combat is repetitive, and there aren't enough levels that focus entirely on speed, but Unleashed is an ultimately fun adventure that brings back fond memories of Sonic's heyday. However, with entirely new levels and much more responsive controls, the Wii version is a vastly superior experience. The Wii version uses the same concepts as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 renditions, pairing Sonic's trademark speed through loops and over collapsing bridges with slow-paced werehog levels that focus on precise platforming and hand-to-hand combat. Sonic Unleashed is able to buck the trend started by previous Sonic adventures and continued by the high-definition versions of this very same game. And most every venture into the third dimension has resulted in various degrees of failure. Every new Sonic release carries a hope that Sega's blue hedgehog will be able to regain the form that made him a star in the early '90s.
