Play-mag writes: "The irony of having a personality crisis at the centre of Sonic Unleashed is simply too wonderful to ignore. For more years than we care to remember, Sega's once proud mascot has been struggling to find a place in a world with one more dimension than he can reasonably use. Sonic was more than happy travelling left to right in the shortest time possible, then his portly Italian rival went 3D, changed the world, and left the 'hog languishing in 16-bit. The Sonic faithful have been waiting for their own Mario 64 moment ever since, but have received little more than a series of metaphorical kicks to the balls instead."
